Smacked a deer with mine this morning on the way to work. :cry: Dented the front right fender just behind the headlight. Could have been a lot worse.

The TSX doesn't suffer from the dashboard cracking like the TL. The auto in the TSX is very reliable. One of the highest mileage 1st gen TSXs has over 620k miles and its original automatic transmission is still going strong.

Great cars. I have an '06 6MT that I bought in April 2008 with 10k on it. It currently has 337k on it.

Nice!

Type F has been used in 2T bikes for a long time. 70+ hours over the past year on each bike. 15+ races. I pulled the clutch pack on one of them a few weeks ago and everything is still within spec after 100+ hours (factory parts). I've used Supertech and Providence (Rural King) Type F over...

Gotcha. Yeah, the YZ250 is a great bike, but electric start sure does make things easier at times (off camber/hill situations). We have a few people in our series who run Shercos. One Sherco family built a YZ85 into a "Sherco" for their youngest son. It even has a headlight and electric start...

On two stroke dirt bikes, the top end and crankcase is lubricated by the gas/oil mix while the clutch and transmission share a different oil. OP Is talking about the clutch/gearbox oil here.

Being wet clutch safe, I'm sure it's a fine oil. Stock up! What bikes do you have? What kind of racing? I switched to ATF Type F in my son's two KX85s last year. He races hare scrambles and it seems to be working great. One of the things I was looking for in an oil was lower viscosity to help...

My favorite song of all time. I'm usually not a fan of covers, but Shinedown's is great.

Carefully consider whether draining the pool is the right move. As others have said, it could pop out of the ground. Most fiberglass pool manufacturers will void a warranty if they find out a homeowner drained the pool. At 10 years old, you may not have a warranty to worry about, but it speaks...

How many times have you slammed the brake going for the clutch? :) Congrats on the new ride!

Thanks! Didn't see your post til I came back to post about the first tow. (y)

I towed my old trailer with the new truck today. I only went about 10 miles and this trailer only weighs ~6k lbs. It wasn't a night and day difference - which is probably more a testament to how good the L8T/10 speed is and not a knock on the Duramax. The Duramax was certainly smoother on the...

No, it has the full console. Our 2500 had the folding console with 6 seats. I like the idea of the full console, but we'll see!

No, I think you misunderstand. I had a 2024 2500 that I bought new two years ago. It had the gas engine and I put 15k miles on it mainly towing a toy hauler camper. The truck was great, but with my new, bigger camper, I was wishing I had originally bought a dually. I started looking for a...
