I hear yah! I just pulled a 7k trailer from California to Illinois on 33", stopping every 70 minutes to refill the tank. Between that and my truck camper, it was driving me nuts. I'd been holding out for just the gears for the front so I could do the front & back at the same time with air...
That's good to know! I was wondering if I'd have to do something hacky with forscan to adjust the tire size for the speedometer because I didn't know there was a gearing section. I'll see if I can find it and report back if I do.
Hey @Colo_Ranger , I went back through the thread but maybe missed where forscan changes were discussed. Are the forscan changes for the speedometer reading, shift patterns or something else? I've got my parts ordered and on the way, so want to make sure I'm up to speed on everything.
Oh I was face palming when I read through the early threads saying just to use the buttons to lock out gears. The frustration was palpable. Absolutely a "wtf" moment from people not understanding anything about how gears work and ridiculous arguments about how transmissions work. Seems every...
Ahhh, gotcha! Thanks! And seriously man, I can't thank you enough for starting this thread and doing the work. I'd been watching the discussion from the start, lurking, and was the biggest reason that I joined the forum overall.
Yeah I think that I will follow your plan closely.
I'd like to do the 4.46 gearing at the same time as installing ARB lockers. My XLT doesn't have the rear locking differential.
As far as I can tell from your write-up, it looks like I can pair the gears with ARB lockers and be good to go?
I have absolutely no idea what the politics are behind why any auto company would back any particular engine oil product. I honestly don't think think it's a meaningful metric.
My theory for the poll results are people are buying either what they know because someone in their family does it, or...
JFC man, you're insufferable.
It's not a massive conspiracy, so you can go look it up yourself.
I just ran a rudimentary Google search:
Mobile 1: Group III
Castrol: Group III
Valvoline: Group III
Shell: Group III
Pennzoil: Group III+
Again, I don't claim to be some kind of expert on any of...
It helps to have some kind of comparison matrix to look at. Here's the Top 5 oil producers and their comparable specs (according to ChatGPT).
To me and my admittedly very rudimentary knowledge of oil, I don't see any major red flags... although it does appear that Amsoil performs better overall...
Putting a company's logo on a website doesn't mean the company is backing them. It doesn't even give any sort of context around what they'd be backing or what they like about that product versus any other product.
Other companies try to put the company's logo that I work on their websites all...
Dude, do you even realize this is meaningless? I went to the website, it told me the history. What's the take away? What am I supposed to understand about Amsoil by looking at Motul's website? Adding a company's logo to a website doesn't mean jack.
Let's see some numbers and independent tests...
So far all you've done is talk a lot of weird manic trash and gone on borderline schizophrenic rants. If you're going to make all kind of claims then back it up with something.
"Various auto manufacturers across the world" ... wtf are you even talking about?
Ah okay, I got it now.. this is just a troll thread. ??
That dude tested all of the major oils, went through A/B tests, adhered to adopted standards and was up front with all of his findings.
Anyhow there's plenty of other independent tests out there looking at Amsoil and it's consistently the...
I don't know what you're going on about. What am I supposed to be looking for on this Motul website?
It's pretty wild that you jump to conclude that Project Farm is a paid sponsor of Amsoil. Good video to watch and short enough for the attention span of a five year old.
Oh yes, that trail is nearby the one that I thought you might have gone up:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/UF88X3mZbMo7uf4J9
I wanted to explore 7N35 but there was too much snow at the trail head earlier this year when I went. I've met a few guys that hit that trail and highly recommended it to me...
I might have missed it in the earlier threads but I didn't see where Amsoil was in comparison.
I watched a series by Project Farm on YouTube and his testing methodology looked pretty solid to me, with Amsoil coming out on top.
