I actually really like our lane keeping assist because it's quiet and fairly unobtrusive compared to some others I have seen (I try and avoid my vehicles beeping at me if I can help it). I just hit 80,000 miles and I have never had the lane keeping assist do anything remotely close to what could...
I'll take a stab at this since I'm not seeing any mention of the physics (at least my understanding) on LEDs in reflector housing.
If you consider what a halogen reflector housing is designed to do, it is focusing light off a very thin light source (the filament) that is 360 directional. If you...
I've been thinking about getting a pair of these. How do they compare to just upgrading the shocks (sounds like if I get the leafs I should plan on upgrading the shocks anyway)? Does the extra weight of the leafs affect payload much?
I don't have any real complaints with the standard 4x4...
My build date is 08/19, but I haven't had the problem yet (73k miles so far). Is this pretty much a guaranteed problem? The previous threads on the topic make it seem like its just a matter of when for 2019's.
Not sure what I'll do if I develop it. I doubt they would give me a rental without...
I've been thinking about trading my ranger this year due to due to gas prices. I drive a lot to commute to work in remote areas, and the many 80mph windy miles through Nevada that I do every week was adding up quite a bit. That being said having some offroad capabilities is nice as there are...
It isn't that hard to understand. A reflector light fixture is designed to reflect and focus light from a filament. If you switch to a LED bulb you will have a light source that is wider/thicker than a filament. This wider source will result in more scatter/glare due to the design of the...
Hello, I am wanting to get some small dents removed from my front door. My PDR guy said he would need to either drill a hole for access, or he said he could try removing the door panel and see if there is access from behind it. I was curious if anyone would know if there are access points behind...
I asked my dealer to grease the slip yoke, and they did it for me without any trouble. I didn't even try to get them to do it under warranty because I don't have the time or patience on my days off to try and get them to diagnose it. It ended up costing me about $160. It has made a huge...
Hello all, I have a few things I'm not using anymore, and I would like to get rid of them. I am not looking at shipping at this time. I am in the Salt Lake area, but I do travel to central Nevada for work and I often visit southeast Idaho. I am more than happy to meet up somewhere as long as it...
For what it's worth, I have been resetting my trip computer before driving back and forth from work to get an idea of mileage vs temperatures. It's not the most accurate dataset, but I definitely notice a drop when the overnight low starts to go into single digits. I have also occasionally reset...
The online manual for 2019 that I downloaded says this (p286).
Only fit snow chains to the following
specified tires:
• 255/70 R16 111T.
• 255/65 R17 110T.
• 265/65 R17 112T.
• 265/60 R18 110T.
• LT265/65 R17 109T.
Only use S-Class snow chains, 0.6 in
(15 mm) chain links.
Only use manual...
I tried to get this done for my truck today. They kept it overnight and said they couldn't reproduce it so they couldn't apply it (which is hard for me to believe). They also told me my PCM was already up to date. Is it likely that it would have already been done?
I just did a 14 hour drive yesterday and hit a storm with these tires. With 23k miles they are definitely not working as well as last year. Especially if they are new I think they are adequate if you're willing to take it slow when needed.
I'd like to get some snow tires though. Anyone have any...
I just barely noticed it on returning from a camping trip, so I haven't had a chance to investigate closely. I have been pretty careful not to overtighen the quick-release clamps, and the clamps near the cab don't seem to be bending it at all. I was also able to compare to a similar soft trifold...
I've had mine for a couple weeks now. I feel like mine is about a half inch to short to seal on both ends, and they forgot to send me the parts to attach the bulkhead bracket.
Also, I noticed mine has started to bend the lip where the clips attach, and I have tried to be careful to make sure...
I've thought about doing something like this, but I figured it was something I can hold off deciding for now. Not really sure how quickly rust becomes an issue here living in Utah, but the paint down there definitely gets hammered.
Apparently color matching bedliner is possible though I'm not...
I've been going back and forth on if I want to get a topper. Is the decrease in visibility very noticeable? I hate to spend that much money and find out I don't care for it. I don't drive SUVS or anything like that either, so I don't have much to compare with.
I do feel like the climate control doesn't work as well as my 04 camry's did, but it does work. Does the fan speed change if you change the temperature to max or low?
