Yes.....Brutal probably has 2x the torque we do at something around 2k.

Peak is 3,950

It used to be that the torque peak was where you wanted to be when towing uphill. I used to go 2-300 RPM above it in case the engine pulled down a bit. Many moons ago, I had a motorhome with a 460 Ford. Gross weight was 18,000+- lbs. The advertised torque peak was 2,800 rpm. When pulling a hill...

Nothing like jumping in after your customer has already taken care of the issue......I would imagine sending him a check for the repairs would be a good way to help.

Here is an alternative location to the common mirror mount. I mounted my V-1 in the pocket on the dash. The mount was actually made for my 2017 GMC Canyon. It was done by a custom audio shop when I was still in California. It fits perfectly. All I did was to drill a 3/16 hole in the bottom of...

Same here, but at 72 with major arthritis, it's difficult for me to do the "look over your shoulder" thing now. The side mirrors are not a problem and the camera gives me a direct behind view. The first vehicle that had this was a 2008 Infifnti. At the time, I thought it was a useless waste of...

I hear that. I've been driving since 1968. Many times without seat belts. I even rode in the back of a truck more than once...shame on me.

I had that happen to me trying to back out of a driveway that had a very slight slope. Disabled both forward & reverse immediately.

Why do you keep moving the goalposts? Now it's a FI engine vs N/A. I'm going to say what many of us must be thinking: Do you own the company that manufacturers it or do you just get a piece of the action?

Thanks, good to know.

Mass Airflow Sensor

Buy a can of MAS cleaner now. You are going to need it when the filter gets over-oiled and messes up the MAS. Same as with the K&N's.

The only thing a different air filter is going to do is increase/decrease the airflow. The MAS will adjust the fuel accordingly. Color me skeptical. Changing driving style will have more effect.

I was under the impression that in our trucks, you can just shift on the fly. I've gone from 2 or 4A to 4H while moving down the road. No odd noises and everything seems OK.

Good advice here. What has not been said is that when backing, put a hand on the bottom of the steering wheel. If you need to move the trailer to the left, move your hand to the left and visa-versa. Leave the engine running if the exhaust pipe is under water. Be sure it's in park with the...

Made in China...hard pass.

And you wonder why the term "stealership" is so popular.

Agree with beancounters....(I'm a retired one) We have the same issue as the military only our lives generally don't depend on the fact that parts are sourced from the cheapest vendor.

Nice write-up.......I'll never understand why the folks that go to the trouble of developing these aftermarket trans pans don't take the next step and incorporate a calibrated dipstick. I had a GMC Canyon and a guy figured this out and must have sold over 1,000. Even Chevy and GMC dealerships...

That's what I have done for the past 50 or so years. Change it at 500 and 2500 with conventional. At 5,000, and every 5,000 thereafter, synthetic. Obviously, there was no synthetic 50 years ago. I ran Castrol 20-50 in everything and never have a vehicle that burned more than 1/2 qt between...
