Tires like these with the chunky mud ridges in the shoulders can be sensitive to tire pressure. I had BFG KO2s on my Mazda and they were very quiet until they developed a sort of cupping / feathering on the edges of the tread blocks. You can try adjusting tire pressure to see if it can be...

Anybody besides me notice the Drive modes knob has a new position? 2H, 4H, 4L, and ... {4A}. What witchery is this? Legit All Wheel Drive? What changes are made to enable this? Different Transfer Case? Limited Slip Diffs? Or more electronic magic from the ABS hardware? Activate with...

+1 for this. Invisible Glass is great stuff. Get the Aerosol can.

I think it's not related to Tow mode. Mine does this in D also. I have assumed it is that once the machine builds boost, it is reluctant to dump it. Not sure why, it's just a guess. I've never had a turbo vehicle before. It's a little annoying, though. I'm used to just giving a little...

If an LED conversion is just a replacement bulb, and does not come with a matching reflector and lens, it is likely to give WORSE lighting performance and create safety issues for other drivers (and sometimes you, too). Optical design is a thing, especially when you need to meet the specific...

Isopropyl is pretty good, but if purchased at a supermarket or drugstore as "Rubbing alcohol" it will contain water, and sometimes it has other contaminants, and this can still leave streaks. It can damage some plastics. For an alternative solvent that is super clean, and is very safe for most...

Cartel Cadillac

And a low price point. I LIKE my XL interior. I literally DON'T CARE about plastic dash vs padded fake leather, as long as it doesn't actively interfere with operating the vehicle (Like the shiny bezels and shiny plastic panel on the"higher" trims). Molded plastic can be styled to look cool...

I have to say, he explains the issues with the drivetrain very clearly. It's always in too high a gear, and spinning at 1200 rpm, and there is just a vibration that permeates through the entire truck. ... This is all done in the name of fuel economy, trying to get that fleet average up... Had...

Attention: Dave @AzScorpion Shout out for the Damper... "However the lift-gate is not "soft-open and soft-close" so you have to be a little bit more careful with that..."

Helical gears generate thrust forces because the teeth act like wedges, and the thrust forces can cause the gears to shift and bind when the forces push one way, and loosen when the force is the other way. I believe this is part of the "magic" of the Torsen Limited Slip Differential.

@bearrug Just wanted to give you a thumbs up for the excellent thread title...

LOL Story of my life...

Nothing like a nice wall of text to moderate a developing flame war... It seems like we are all pretty much in agreement on probably 99% of everything said here. I just get bored sometimes... I believe OP did give several pretty good reasons why HE thought that pan was more useful for his...

The key is for the Association to use an Attorney to foreclose the lien. They will either pay up, or the judge will FORCE the sale of the property. But it has to be recorded, etc. There is a process, and a good lawyer can tell you all the hoops to jump through. The Association is likely not...

Same here in South Florida, and probably any other major metropolitan area. Automated "Lane-Keeping" systems are dangerous because of this. I love automation, but shitty automation is worse than stupid humans. I had one car with such a system, and the first time it shoved me into the next...

"You will own nothing. And you will be happy." Be careful what you wish for.

In Florida, you can MAKE them pay the fines. If they refuse, you can lien the property, and once the lien is established, if they refuse to pay, you can go to court to foreclose and force the SALE of the property to pay the lien. The Condo Association can take possession of the property and...

HOAs and condominiums are a huge benefit to the DEVELOPERs. To develop individual parcels is a LOT more paperwork. Individual surveys, platting and subdivision into single lots, etc. Then to build roads, sewers, lights, etc. and then deed them over to the city / county for continuing...

I'd just like to note for the record that Ford engineers, being employed by Ford Motor Company, tailor all the myriad design decisions to suit Ford's requirements. These requirements may differ somewhat from the set of design decisions "I" would consider optimum for "my" personal convenience...
