Unfortunately the fuel type won't help as it is injected past the valves directly into the chamber so it doesn't wash them clean like port injection does. Walnut blasting is not too involved and seems to do a really good job. Running cleaners through the intake might help but runs the risk of...
I swear by ACC. Did a long trip this summer (5K round trip) and I feel it significantly improved my safety and reduced my fatigue levels. Yes, it is annoying when a effing Tesla car cuts you off and causes a big slowdown, but I would have had to hit the brakes manually anyway. You just need to...
Master reset fixed mine after a rocky USB update. I had my dash cam plugged into the other USB port and that caused all kinds of issues, I thought I had bricked it.
Got the Valvomax drain plug and NOCO battery charger. Also got fly fishing stuff for Euro Nymphing (get your head out of the gutter, it's a real thing).
Remote start while I put my shoes on and wait for low idle before taking off. Might need a damper heater for those really cold mornings, the tailgate drops soooo slowly.
I am not arguing any of your points about dealerships, they can be pretty hard to trust. I only have had to replace a caliper once and it was in a 25 year old Volvo. I just want my truck to be the last vehicle I buy, so I will be doing, maybe over doing the maintenance on it to get it to last as...
I was driving the downhill twisties out of Bend Oregon this summer and tried tow mode. The engine braking was fun. Every time I touched the brakes, it would downshift and rev up to about 4k.
A bit off topic as I have a 2021, but I did notice a significant change in shift points when I last changed my oil. I had been using full synthetic and tried a synthetic blend (both Walmart SuperTech). The synthetic blend was noticeably more runny when pouring it in. Now my shift points are at...
I have been doing my own oil changes and rotations. Since I can just squeeze under the truck, it is fairly fast and easy to get the drain plug off. The hardest part is removing the skid plate, so I put a Valvomax plug on my Christmas list. I should be able to drain the oil with the plate still...
I once had a root canal where the dentist gave me a card for a free milkshake at a nearby ice cream place. I asked him if he saw the irony in it. He claimed people get low blood sugar from dental work lol.
