    Unpainted raw cast iron that gets hotter than blazes, of course it's gonna rust. Most OEM's have done exhaust that way forever. The engine manifolds are usually thick enough that they outlast the rest of the vehicle, the rest of the pipes and mufflers are sacrificial parts you just replace...

    $1200/mo lease payment for 60 mos

    Some people's minds don't work that way. They just see the monthly number, pay the minimum, and seem totally surprised when the hammer drops.

    So that's the new "one". How about Pelosi on the "two" and Schiff on the "three"?

    Can I delete the ANC?

    Yes. There are a couple options, depending on which audio system you have. Cheapest way is to disconnect two pins which are the cabin feedback microphones. I have the non-amplified system, and settled on a Datalink Maestro ACC-ANC-CH3 bypass cable that I got from Crutchfield. After...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I sort of thought the power running boards were a bit limp, maybe they'll come out too. ;)

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Nooooo! My '22 is now totally useless. I must rush out and order a '25 as soon as they are available. 😧

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    You make it sound trivial, but "reaches into the ... bin" is probably an excessive under-statement of the situation. On the assembly line, it's probably entire axle assemblies that have to be stored on fairly large racks. And with 2WD and 4WD, that means two sets of extra racks. And bigger...

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Apparently a "filter only" guy. I like to drain the old oil and put in fresh once in awhile, too. ;)

    Two-faced is an understatement for these demons.

    Remote Mount Oil Filter

    Maybe it's the racer mentality. For some reason, this evoked for me a mental image of doing oil change like a pit stop. Truck comes to a sliding stop and someone shoves a pneumatic jack under the front. Another crewman slides under with some kind of vacuum and you see a filter roll out toward...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I didn't buy my truck to do 0-60 or 1/4 mile. If that's your thing, enjoy! 🤷‍♂️ I might be interested in data from sustained towing, steep uphill, u-joint and transmission wear, long term load survival. I took 3.92 to get 'r done. 👷‍♂️

    It's sad to see men suffering from 3.92 envy trying to drown their sorrows. :cry:

    I have no way to verify this, but it sounds about right ...

    Thoughts on Cold Air Intakes?

    Cooler air or less filter restriction can allow the engine to pass more air, and thereby make more power, but it's a small amount and only at or near wide open throttle. Most of the time you will be deliberately restricting airflow with a big ol' throttle plate anyway, and they will make zero...

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    I can see how lack of traction plus lack of torque might lead to feelings of insecurity... 😟
