I think I have a problem with my alternator... I ran a test this morning. I disconnected the battery and checked all of the connections at the alt itself and then reconnected the battery. I started the car and watched the voltage via scangauge, it was 14.2...then I turned on the ac, headlights...

I agree with the SB6141 modem. For the price, you cannot beat the Asus AC5300 router. I am a recent Linksys fan convert to Asus routers. I bought two of the TM-AC1900 routers (TMobile) and converted them to RT-AC68Us.

I've used napa gold before, but for the price, I've just stayed with OEM filers - I got a case of 90915-YZZF1(Made in Thailand) filters for my Highlander for $35 on Ebay - made them about $3.50 a piece.
