    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    I remember the post, and I understand how knock detection works. I also understand enough chemistry to know the difference between a molecule and a compound and, as stated, demolitions to know how autoignition and explosion upper and lower limits function. I'll concede there's plenty I don't...

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    Literally everything about this is wrong, starting with the notion any octane gasoline is homogenous at the molecular level. I've never worked in a refinery, but I was trained in improvised explosives and booby traps, to include things like dust charges that rely on calculating a lower and...

    Slid in under the wire on the warranty...

    Cruise control button is failing intermittently and tapping the steering wheel on the outside edge toward the horn 'fixes' it for awhile. I know it's just the button or the connection but I called to see if I was still under warranty as I knew I was right on the bubble. 18 days of bumper to...

    Is There Such a Thing As a Easy Quick Reference Sheet For Maintenance of My '19 3500 4WD?

    You're asking why the barber thinks you need a haircut. They make significant profit on labor and parts to sell you service you don't need.

    My Dad has an awesome set of tools, I can fix it.

    Assuming it was previously titled and registered in the US and they have the needed proof of that: In general, yes. There are some hoops to jump through, like inspection for intact and functioning emissions equipment so it's not quite as simple as just driving it back over, but it's doable for...

    An impressive Caddy

    If I ever elect to move on from my Camaro SS/RS, it'd probably be to pick up a CT5-V Blackwing. My wife is going back to work soon and our son will be off my car insurance in a few years, so it'd be pretty easily doable at that point if I want. I'm kind of over the Corvette and the new...

    Truck Honks When I Get Out

    I mean, as long as you don't mind a middle aged colorblind guy telling you what you should be wearing, why not?

    Truck Honks When I Get Out

    So you're telling me you weekly had someone lock their fob in the vehicle, someone broke the window at random, and drove off with it? I'd suspect insurance fraud if someone told me they left their fob inside the vehicle while it was locked and unattended and someone just happened to bust the...

    Truck Honks When I Get Out

    The simplest thing is irrelevant unless you're willing to figure out how to retrofit a keyed ignition into the system or sell it and buy a truck old enough to use metal keys. If you think thieves are randomly busting windows to push a button hoping it starts but want to return to the security...

    Stellentis firing most of their employee's

    Madison CJDR has some at 2023 leftovers a $9k off for 5.7L cars and $5k off scat packs. 2 door is back to being a Charger starting in 2025. No more hemi, EV or turbo inline 6. The pictures they've released look pretty nice, IMO.

    Do you have something plugged in to a USB port?

    Truck Honks When I Get Out

    That's a big concern when you're checking your mail or opening a gate in the pouring rain? Are thieves busting windows and randomly testing push starts a big threat in your area? If the horn bothered me that much and I couldn't or wouldn't use any of the fixes in the thread, I'd just splice in...
