    Electric Power Steering. Tried it all.

    Found a you tube video of a guy doing one on a F150, looked about the same as the one for RAM, while he had the unit removed, later said could be done so without removing the unit.

    Anyone know where to find a rack and pinion?

    That is good to know, is the belt very difficult to install? Why the hell did they not use a chain for that?

I god a decent deal...

    Synthetic Oil

    What year is your Harley, on my 2014 FXDL that tranny shifts as smooth as a hot knife thru warm butter and simple to find neutral, on the other hand my 21 Road Glide Limited is noiser shifting and a bit more tricky to find neutral. I run Amsoil V Twin primary and their transmission oil in the...

    Dealer said No for transmission fluid change.

    I did 3 drain and fills when servicing my trans, I just shifted it from forward to reverse numerous times to adjust the level as shown in one of the videos. Am now wondering if it is correct as now many say have to let it shift to 2nd gear before adjusting the final level? Would sure love to...

    Dealer said No for transmission fluid change.

    I did 3 drain and fills when doing a fluid change. The PPE pan makes it a lot easier as the drain plug is so easily accessible.

    BW44-44 Transfer Case Fluid

    I used the C+ in my 2016 and have had no issues with it. Now though Redline recommends their MT-LV 70W/75W GL4 for the 44-44.

    8hp70 heater bypass

    I remember when R410A came out we had to buy another set of gauges due to the much higher operating pressures. Would hate to be in the machine room of a big chiller when that high pressure relief valve let go.

    8hp70 heater bypass

    R22 works great for medium and high temp applications however for low temp use it sucks as it runs very high discharge temps and causes a lot of sludge. Use to have to change oil on a low temp R22 system, it looked like year old coffee.

    8hp70 heater bypass

    In my last 10 years before retiring I saw many new refrigerants come out that were so called non ozone depleting, they are being phased out now because they say they cause global warming. IMO the old CFC refrigerants worked great. What better way to grow the industry by claiming they caused...

    8hp70 heater bypass

    I worked in the refrigeration service industry for 38 years and had never heard of R1234YF until buying the Ram. Saw so many new flavors of refrigerant come and go the last 10 years before retiring, would not be surprised it 1234YF is discontinued soon. My opinion the old R12 worked better than...

    E88 gasoline also known as E15, at 70 cents less per gal

    Since buying a 2021 Road Glide Limited the comfort is fantastic compared to the 2014 Dyna, have done Sturgis twice along with several other 2 to 3k mile trips on it. That is some fantastic riding around Durango, the Million Dollar Highway is beautiful in the fall.

    MDS Already Bugging Me.

    That is true, I did not think of that. Guess will just keep using the button to deactivate it as is about a thousand bucks to have a shop re program the computer.

    MDS Already Bugging Me.

    While on this subject, does anyone out there know if the MDS solenoids energize or de energize to load? If they de energize to load am thinking that one could just disconnect the wire to the MDS solenoids to permanently disable it as I always disable it with the transmission selector buttons. As...
