I'm sure Dupont will sue it out of existence :) Or somehow patent it and make it proprietary.

I view it more as 'headroom' I'd rather pull an 87 mph tire at 70, than a 70mph rated one at 70.

Carlstar (Carlisle) Radial Trail HD and the Goodyear (Endurance?) tires are both 87 mph. The 'Walmart' Carlisle/Carlstar (Reliance Radial) trailer tire is 81 mph rated. ..or at least they are in my 14" size

You'd end up with an 18 wheeler treads up and over your rig out on this coast doing that. It would be seriously unsafe.

Good for you? You have your (often wrong and abrasive) opinion, while the rest of the world has differing views.

No traffic on the interstate around here drives 65.

Keep an eye on temps and send it. It has done all the breaking in it is going to do.

The day I took delivery of my 2025 Powerboost Granted, I didn't hammer it on the trip and it was only a short 50 mile pull, but I refuse to be a rolling roadblock, so speed limits were observed. I would be more concerned with the transmission adaptive tables learning properly over the first...

I keep kicking around the idea of looking for one of those to buy. Problem is, the wife would need to drive it for a while since I don't really want to give her the TL to drive, and I'm not sure how keen she'd be on DD-ing a 6 speed.

Robertson square drive might do it.

My uncle was an upholsterer for all of his life and sometimes got some pretty interesting things in the shop: Cool doors bro.... Sadly I don't have any finished pics of the car.

3 Shafts, yes, 100% fail. 4 shaft units are solid except for some that have converter issues. Plenty of high mileage Ridgelines and Pilots out there, along with the TL's and lat(er) 2007+ Accord V6's.

Tuff Torq Recommended 5w50 Mobil 1 for years until they launched their own oil and changed all of their manuals to match.

If you're trying to decide between the 4600 and 5100's make sure and contact Bilstein first. In a lot of cases, if you're not doing any height adjustment the 4600's are valved the same as the 5100 and will save you some $$.

Well.... I bought some closeout air filters and cabin air filters for the Honda Cousins..... I don't think I'm getting them any time soon. For reference, I'm near Athens, GA.
