Officer - it's a recreational vehicle

I've bought extensively etail from Amazon, Walmart and Temu. All have their pros and cons , with prime you can return basically anything for any reason, lately though I see amazon allowing a lot of new and difficult to vet vendors, mostly from China, this mostly driven by Temu lower prices. I've...

Used valvoline on several autos in the past , in those cases the oem fluid was more expensive, most noteworthy was hyundai where their atf was some $14/qt and wasn't even synthetic whereas Valvoline maxlife is , of course there were some on a Hyundai forum claiming that anything but the oem...

I would only use Valvoline if it's the same cost or ideally less expense than Motorcraft ULV - which goes for $5 and change on Rock Auto and possibly other suppliers.

A week back I towed in a 25 mph headwind, saw 7.5 mpg , going no more than 62 mph. All to get to a p*ss poor antiquated campsite in Bryce Canyon N'tl Park. Sounds like you are putting on some miles and putting out some $$ doing so. I don't track my fuel spending, might make me come to my...

Mpg was likely a major factor in Hankook being oem , I was ok with them but somewhere around 30k got 3 punctures and decided to replace. Iirc correctly some on here have gotten over 50k .

I guess if you are willing to pay for it, after market kits are available. I seem to have a vague memory from my involvement with tire manufacturing back in the 70s that raised white letters required some extra steps in the process, using white rubber and some buffing and maybe special molds...

In one of the ATW4 reviews I read that Falken wanted to appeal more to the off roaders and make them less of a highway tire, when I researched AT tires to replace my OEM Hankooks I was surprised how many makes offer AT tires. I live 1.5 hrs from Moab and not too far from I-70 where you see...

Well I have very little credence in most anything that comes from TFL (being Boulder based doesn't help with my perception) my purchase of the Wildpeak was largely influenced by an attractive price , would have bought another brand - Cooper, Firestone, are some I considered, BFG too pricey for...

What do you think of the Falken ATW4 , I picked up the ATW3 on a close out deal from Tire Rack, XL tires , I think for $212 ea . Lost a bit of mpg as they are heavier than the oem Hankook but I was driving on a muddy uphill 4 wheel drive road a few weeks back and the traction was outstanding.

well if they suck it might be a result of Goodyear owning them. Goodyear makes some good tires but lots and lots of mediocre ones.

replacing the compressor would likely be much more costly - I believe the refrig would need to be evacuated, air removed from the system and new refrig put in - $$$ .

Monkey butt as below ? Don't know why replacing the clutch would be that costly, would expect a rebuilt compressor to be less . I believe your AC compressor engages whenever defrost is used so having grown up in Buffalo - it gets cold there and summer if it comes at all happens around this...

the packed situation, where I live now in CO don't see many Texans, but would see great numbers summertime in Pagosa Springs, escaping the heat of Texas. I actually have a few friends living in Texas and the development where I lived in Pagosa had numerous full time transplants and others with...

In March I towed the trailer to cottonwood az - just south of Sedona, for the trip my milage was over 1k, mpg was 10.5 , I declined to go over my gas receipts , I know I spent a bundle. Stayed at Dead Horse State Park, it was pretty nice, overall quiet. But yesterday was reading on a travel...

That bests a guy in my neighborhood who bought a 2024 F-150 v8 tremor (he was pronouncing it trimmer until I enlightened him) and pulling a 23 ft rockwood mini lite same size as my nobo , on his 1st trip up to Jackson wy he managed 7 mpg, going 70+. When I drive 2 lane highways at 55 mph I do...

For me over 60 mph and the mpg drops and not in a linear fashion. Over 70 I don't even want to think about it unless I owned an oil well. On interstates I just plod along at 62 mph and watch everyone pass by, including full sized pickups towing massive 5th wheel trailers going 75+

this happened in MO on Sunday - 4 fatalities. tragic and these RVs seem to be very combustible

based on your recommendation I disc'od the modem some months back - seems to have eliminated a big source of parasitic drain, that and deep sixing that stupid bms makes for a much happier battery.
