im always convinced when people making money off something claim it’s safe and effective, no reason at all to question that.

I believe so, it all depends on the driver, as the metal goes through thermal cycles it can change shape when it’s hot and under load but they keep the shape when they cool. Perhaps an expert can weigh in?

So my wife’s friend had the shimmy associated with warped rotors and took it to a shop, they quoted $2,000 for a ”full brake job” I bought all new pads, rotors, and drums and did a brake bleed, it’s a Nissan versa so nothing fancy. Did it for a bit over $200. Is such a high charge the norm for a...

Have tried the vaccum on a 3.5 ecoboost, you only get about half the oil, it works for some cars but not for others. Youll have to drain your sump. It works on my Subaru but not my Honda. I kinda wish they designed all cars to have oil changes done from the top.

I think Volkswagen dealers got all the emissions stolen off their tdi vehicles a few years ago but the thieves reprogrammed the computers to fool emissions testing, that was nice of them.

It’s a 2018, I got a great deal on it when the new style started hitting lots, thankfully I got it before they started jacking up the prices, my buddy bought a new Chevy diesel and he paid like 6k over the sticker price.

Thanks for the input, its good to know that it’s a common theme among these trucks. I wonder if they went with a calculation so that a failed temp sensor doesn’t result in a truck on the side of the road.

Anyone know who the Big auto makers get their rotors from? also Does anyone besides me wish they splurge a buck or two and put some anti seize on the back of them, I’ve had some that were shall we say less than easy to get off.

anyone been able to convince a Tesla driver they’re due for an oil change yet?

As for the difference, I believe the fzn is a bit more of a rust protector, that’s what they told me a while back when I asked on the phone. I got the cheaper model you have listed I believe and they’ve held up well for over a year on a Subaru in the northwest. Sorry for the multiple posts...

no difference that you’ll notice unless you’re really using your brakes hard they’ll both stop you just fine and last about the same amount of miles. the more expensive ones might, and that’s a big might, last a bit longer somewhere the roads get salted a lot.

That’s a great looking car, I drove the civics in 2020 when I got my accord and liked them as well but ended up getting a 2019 accord for cheaper than a 2020 civic, still wonder sometimes if I made the right choice. i will say the Hondas are a breeze to do maintenance on and from what I’ve heard...

ford would settle that by offering a few free subwoofers to everyone, that’d get the rattles going nicely. I used to think I was cool with all my bass then I realized my truck just rattled outside making me look like an idiot. At some point in life I started Looking for ways to make my trucks...

crazy what good maintenance and care can do for an engine, it’d be fun to tear it down and see how many parts are still within new build specs. I did that on an old Honda atv once after I crashed it and after 10,000 miles all the internals were within specs, I did 500 mile oil changes though.
