    Throttle only opening 86%

    well you 20 year old superman- 1st- if you're so good- why you're not having a job making 100k / year? engineers getting that. wonder, with the tremendous knowledge here, some people have, why they still grubbing on the floor the minimum wages jobs off and doing here like they where the...

    Auto Door lock when vehicle left alone. 2015 RAM

    Only when you have the key in your pocket. if not, the doors will not lock. that's the point. The guys I was talking about had all keys in the vehicle. The vehicles had the feature, that the door is locking back, if the owner did not open the driver's door within 30 seconds. this prevented the...

    Paddle Shifters?

    why you want a paddle shifter on the back of the steering wheel, when there is already the function above the cruise control? just asking what the benefit would be from that? It would be only for the 8-speed anyway and there it's stock equipment. The radio- yes- I would like that- my wife has it...

    Anyone elses brakes squeal ?

    Take them out, break the edges and put them back in. That solves the problem in 90% of the cases. The disks corroding on the surface, when they get wet. And this causes the pads to stumble in a high frequence. That's all. Try this: take a eraser and pull it over the table- it will smoothly...

    Consensus on the rotary shifter?

    The first two weeks, I grabbed the empty space at the steering wheel. Later especially when I wanted to back up. Now I'm ok with it. I like it now.

    Auto Door lock when vehicle left alone. 2015 RAM

    There was something in early times and audi and vw deleted the function. But it was not exactly what the question was. Discovered was the issue through a recall at the audi tt in the late 1990's. If you unlocked the door and if you not opened the driver door, the vehicle locked it self up after...

    Throttle only opening 86%

    Is there anybody who knows how a modern gas engine works? The question and the answers explaining a lot in this forum. And then playing around with engine settings and tuners. I just shake my head. I spare the technical information about it. Nobody would believe it anyway and nobody is...

    Oil change (synthetic) advice for guy who won't be changing his own oil

    Buddy. Ok, for you and all others having a problem with undersranding. What I said was: semi synthetic oil is enough for a stock hemi. I also said, if you choose the oil, you want to run your engine with, stick with it. I never said, synthetic is worthless but I said in a stock engine not...

    Oil change (synthetic) advice for guy who won't be changing his own oil

    I don't know, where you're coming from, and who taught you manners, but it was obviously not enough or not sustainable enough. The next thing, what I read out of your rude, unsuccessful try to make me think, you know something, is, also you, have no idea what I'm talking about. Also for you...

    Oil change (synthetic) advice for guy who won't be changing his own oil

    That was not the question and my answer is according the statement, that full synthetic oil is not necessary, semi synthetic oil is enough. Ergo full synthetic is a wastest of money for a stock engine. Read, think, then answer.

    Oil change (synthetic) advice for guy who won't be changing his own oil

    That's what the recommended oil change intervals are there for. And you will be surprised what oils can do today. The problem is, that there is still old school hardcore opinions about oil spinning around. Oil- no matter which one- lasts way longer than 20 or 30 years ago. I actually trust more...

    First truck - going from Audi to Hemi (did I get a good deal?)

    And what is wrong with the statement? 93 is a waste of money in this truck. But only if you're not a millionaire and can care less. For all others, do your research and learn, what the octane number says and in what relation it is to the engine. Then you would understand.

    Oil change (synthetic) advice for guy who won't be changing his own oil

    got another one- I had a BMW 540i and went to a lube place- because they offered oil change for $35 + a free 20 point inspection. I went in and asked if they are able to make a oil change on a BMW. they kinda acted like I offended them and yeah- we have all certified master technicians (yeah...
