    Negotiating Ram Connect price

    Did you try the "I quit, too expensive" route on them, cell phone carriers usually jump back with a better offer especially if wanting to move to other carrier. I went through the privacy policies and thinking they're way over the top gathering data, I have my own privacy policy, and thats to...

    Theft is on the rise

    If you've never seen this before, here is a video in how the car thief gets your keyfob information while outside of your house, and thats why you need to protect your keyfob with a faraday sleeve or box, besides tinfoil, aluminum window screening works great, wrap your cell phone in it and...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    Yes you are correct, its nothing but a burden if you don't use it, in my case Im living in the country, its highways and rural roads, it will do absolutely nothing for me, I cant speak for everyone else, but I don't want to pay for something expensive that will give me zero benefit.

    Theft is on the rise

    Its getting to the point were your going to have to carry a rfi scanner in your pocket and scan your car after coming out of a shopping center, thieves are sticking small GPS trackers in certain parts of the car making it a beacon for them to find easily, in many cases they use Apple air tags...

    Theft is on the rise

    Here is a link to a auto data port lock, Im thinking of building one provided I can get the parts I need. thieves are worried about time, anything that slows them down is a plus, if they get too discouraged, they'll give up and move on especially if the car is outside on the driveway a few feet...

    Theft is on the rise

    Ive had this thought on my mind since Ive decided to shop for a new truck, I have a few ideas to slow them down such as fake ecm port, hidden switches and so on, its defiantly a problem, I have an alarmed garage but that may not stop thieves, perhaps a bear trap painted black on the floor...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    Just shutting off etorque will do a great job charging your 12v battery, the problem is if your out of warranty replacing it will cost you (I hope your sitting down) around $3000, the DC to DC converter will cost you $1500 if it fails, FCM claims etorque is good for 80,000 miles, on average...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    It is a desperate reach to comply, auto makers are given a next to impossible standard made up by incoherent and zero common sense environmentalists, they see wind turbines are not working out like they thought it would, even they were told by experts its not going to work to meet the needs, now...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    I was going through some calculations and these are lab numbers not real world, real world would most likely be less, an average start stop on a life of a car would be 100k stop starts. which includes both cold and warm starts, an active start stop system on a car jumps it to 300K-400K, how many...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    Thanks for the reply, I was doing some research into cars in Europe, most of them are being switched over to start stops using various techniques, they basically had to meet almost impossible to impossible environmental rules forced by governments, needless to say when it comes to bad ideas...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    Forgive me if this has been talked about, could you lead the the thread that does. Im looking a possible problems the E-Toque can pose down the road from start stops, this cannot be good for things like crank and rod bearings, even though the engine is warm during these cycles I still find it...
