    2019 motor woes....

    It's particle size and its makeup. "Dust" is everything from soft organic stuff that won't really cause a problem, to stuff you'd think wouldn't like pollen which is incredibly hard and tiny, harder than sand or metals. Once those get sucked past the air filter and into the engine ( in the...

    2019 motor woes....

    Most of the K&N filters have to be sprayed with oil or they just don't work. No one reads the instructions at all anymore.

    2019 motor woes....

    Most things I've seen with poor aftermarket CAI and stuff is either poor filtering, leading to increased wear as you can't get abrasive grit out of the engine once it's in there. The big one is simply hydrolocking because most CAI draw air down lower and it's easier for them to suck up water...

    Air conditioning performance

    1234yf uses the same fittings as r12, so any r12 to R134a kit would work. So if like $15 in fittings and $20 in refrigerant is too expensive sorry.

    New Ram 1500 EV

    How hard is to to make a TRUCK?. Not a car with a bed or whatever the hell a ridgeline is. A Truck, you know like they make already. Just put the Ram or Dakota body on a Pacifica PHEV and ship it.

    Dead Battery: Any Solutions?

    The problem is the truck is programmed to not charge the battery. The truck has a IBS load sensor on the negative post of the battery that only charges the truck when you are "wasting energy" to boost MPG numbers for CAFE. It is supposed to measure what goes in and replace that, but it doesn't...

    Had a Nice NEW camper for a few hours

    They aren't even wood. Its like wood veneer inside and fiberglass shell for the outer skin. The rest is styrofoam, all the walls everything. The subframe is steel. The doorways and wall joists are steel. That's it. The inside walls are like compressed cardboard with a applique over them to...

    Shouldn't they come pick me up?

    If OP called and told them he was disabled and needed transport I don't see why they wouldn't accommodate him. But heck my trick when I used to travel to avoid expensive taxis was to call enterprise/national and have them pick you up at the hotel after taking a shuttle offsite. Paying $20 for a...

    Oil spewed out of oil filter

    pull dipstick, wipe with paper towel. Then reinsert fully let sit for a few seconds. Then remove again and hold flat against the paper towel. If you can't see the oil well, look where it wet the paper towel to know the level. It should be between the marks. If the engine is hot it won't be...

    DEF at the pump?

    Call 1-800-323-5440 and tell them your cat/dog/kid drank DEF and you need to know what other ingredients are in it. ( they aren't any besides Urea and DI Water and they will claim it is non toxic, non hazardous or flammable ). Or call poison control and get the same info. Every single one of...

    DEF at the pump?

    It follows ISO-22241-1, so no, it can't have any other additives. It's all marketing.

    DEF at the pump?

    Truck stops all have it. It's usually only at the big boy pumps though. You can get the 2.5 gallon jugs of def at any auto parts store or walmart etc. Lots of gas stations carry it, particularly along highways, but it's $$$ there. The $7 def is the same as the $25 def. def is def. Only...

They go to the bottom of the radio there's a hub there, if you have surround cameras there's a central vision processing unit there...

    Any high mileage diesels, how are they holding up?

    What I mean is on older cars if the DPF or cat or a o2 sensor failed you could drive them. These will start a countdown and then will not start anymore. Same if you run out of DEF.

    Off Road / Heating oil in pickup

    Regular off road diesel is S15 now. I don't think you can get S500 or S5000 at all anymore unless you are marine( boating ).

    Any high mileage diesels, how are they holding up?

    On older cars you could drive with the CEL forever. This truck WILL brick itself to keep you from doing that.
