Looks like spalling. Roller lifters concentrate the load, almost to a point, compared to old school flat tappets that tend to spread it out. If alloy and heat treat aren't right, surface deformation can fatigue the metal and cause it to flake off over time. May have been a poor batch of metal...

Thanks! That's actually one of the models being considered, but hoping for a little more closet space. Really liked the 2511, but it may be too big. I'll share when the dust settles.

Welcome aboard!

They probably have a permanent medport installed by now. Watch for tiny clear tubing following him across the floor.

And for sure, the dems would be seriously butt-hurt if a "convicted felon" beat out their golden boy and sacred cow. But it may be premature speculation, as there are still several months to go, and I imagine they have a lot more plot twists planned. Stay tuned.

I guess I didn't know what I was looking for. Wasn't actually looking for ad-free, but I'll have to check that out.

I'd have thought 4.0 would be a good starter size. Don't know about the single turbo, though. Considering how much trouble they seem to have making an exhaust manifold that spans only four cylinders, would it be sane to go for six? Or maybe they could put a slide joint in it like some of the...

The ads are what pays for the site. I looked for a place to contribute and didn't find it. So it's the same business model as free over-the-air television, paid for by the advertisers. Sleep through the ads if you're not interested, click on through to the good stuff. 🤷‍♂️

Or could have been the mods chasing a recursion loop caused by posting threads about not being allowed to discuss not being allowed to discuss not being allowed to discuss ... 🤫

I'm about to take the plunge and buy a travel trailer, and I'll share some of the experience here, but if it isn't forbidden, can y'all recommend a forum dedicated more specifically to the RV and travel experience?

I do have a cheap OBD scanner, I suppose I should check once in awhile.

I might share that image with my barber.

I got the error a couple days in a row earlier last week, but yesterday it's back to normal. Near as I can tell everything works in spite of the error message, just press OK and drive. So here's a wild speculation based only on circumstance. Is it possible that the UConnect box only charges...

So ... if the Instrument Panel knows how to do this under command ... does it know how to do other illumination levels that are just not being used by the current BCM firmware? It's a long way to go, but just for theory sake, could a bus buffer/translator be inserted to re-map some illumination...

Who had "Idaho takes over in the Spring" on their card?

KMC has this to say about lug nuts for their wheels; https://helpcenter.kmcwheels.com/hc/en-us/articles/4403169515277-Do-my-OEM-lugnuts-work-with-my-new-wheels and they recommend Gorilla nuts, so that might be a source for the socket, or Bimecc is another maker of makes similar nuts and tools...

I think IIRC there are two settings in UConnect for day and night brightness (headlights on and off) but these are for the infotainment screen, and don't necessarily have the desired effect on the EVIC. I remember having to fiddle with things for awhile to find a tolerable combination, as the...
