I'm getting destroyed now... I'm only at ~26,600 (though it's vacation season right now)

@TylerV76 Check the leading edge of the truck bed for missing paint... I'd get something on it ASAP since it's basically missing on my truck from 2-3 miles of dirt roads each day, and I have the OEM splash guards.

Lets play “what color is my truck, and when did I last wash it?”

The ABS system "kind of" makes the need for a proper locker un necessary. With the locker disengaged, but in the offroad cruise control mode, I drove passenger side front wheel over a large log. Put the truck in reverse, and let the offroad cruise figure out which wheels were gripping, and which...

For "Because the engine isn't running".

Latest and greatest.

Soooo, it's a Wrangler hard top eh... I hope crap like this gets denied by the USPTO... It's ridiculous that they even think something like this is novel enough to apply for a patent. Just make the Bronco have a removable shell with a decent ROPS, and call it a day...

I park in the parking lot :) I usually park pretty far out because the people who steal cars here like to hide in the rows of vehicles while they do their scouting. (#Detroit) Problem with that is everyone who drives a bigger truck (F150, Ram, etc) like to pull up and park right next to me, so...

That's definitely part of it. I guess things are different in NJ, I live in Michigan, and you can't take your truck in for anything that doesn't take half a day... Couple that with the amount of miles I drive, and it's not possible for me to do a dealer oil change schedule...

Well, my dealer wanted well over $100 (for full synthetic), and I had to drop it off for a day, so you can see why it doesn't make sense for some people, while it does for others. I can do the full change in 20 minutes, including tire rotation, so that's a crazy hourly rate.

I'll be doing my 3rd oil change here in the next 2-3K... All three will be Mobil1 5w30 with a m1 extended length oil filter. I suppose you could all watch how mine turns out. I should be well into 100K before most of this forum turns 20K.

Oh, they offer semi, and full synthetic at 4-5x the price of DIY. There's more to oil than composition though, some are changing viscosity, or other parameters, so that's more what the question is asking rather than "Conventional, semi, or full synthetic".

I mean, it is Tennessee :) I'd recommend finding a new dealer, and a new state.

We hit -25f to -30f when I owned my Focus ST, the car started hard (it was parked outside a few of those nights). The touchscreen was a little sluggish, but it worked properly in that experience. I was running 5w30 Mobil1. At the time, it was a Sync II system, so it still had a resistive touch...

I agree with your explanation. I think we're on the same train... I'm saying that I'd rather have massive torque numbers at "regular" rpm instead of massive HP numbers at 5500-11k rpm's, so in the case that the 2.3 makes 325HP at the 7200rpm that most tunes raise the limiter to is in-fact...

It's irrelevant if your large diesel engine spends all of it's time near redline running some sort of heavy equipment, but I can assure you 400ft/lbs and 200HP feels just as fast on the street as 500HP and 400ft/lbs. It's that instant acceleration feeling that you get when you mash the pedal...

It's all about the torque numbers, HP is just math, torque is where it's at. And you start at a baseline 400tq with the 2.7L, with a full factory warranty, and 0$ in modifications. With some tuning, you are now at an uncontrollable 425ft/lbs and 370+HP no hard parts at all. The engine in it is...

hell no.

It's cake, you're not doing it as a job, you just have one so you can share vids with a link to the vid instead of pointing directly at your google docs :). I definitely can add the numbers together :)

You should definitely upload those to youtube! They would be easier for those of us who's current "Condition" disallows us from using Google Drive :) Where you at in Detroit? I'm in Southfield area most days :)
