Hey, that was my Prius engine? ;)

Probably just need a fluid change (or 3).

I will say that the Sunsongs are not always “pre-bent” like OE. For the price difference, I guess I’ll deal with it…but it’s still frustrating. Just one example. Getting all of the brackets to bolt up (and thus bending the hose) was a real joy in that spot.

If you’re on FTO for a week, what would you do?

Not sufficient. I’ve had numerous batteries pass load and electronic testing, but was still insufficient for ESS to work. Not saying that is your issue here, but I would not consider those two testing methods to be fully definitive.

Defender2 appears to be a good, long-life dry climate tire. Wet traction appears to be very lacking, at least according to TireRack's testing.

Depends on the type of charger. If it is a 350kw charger, absolutely! 10-15 mins is often enough to bump the SOC by 20-30%, which could add 100 miles of range.

Keep in mind that a battery tester is not always a valid method for determining battery health. Some of the newer vehicles will have guided functions within the onboard modules for testing. MB does this. Not sure about Ford. Also, if a vehicle has ESS and it isn't working, there is an extremely...

It looks like your belt got wet with coolant. Belts do not like exposure to coolant, even for a brief amount of time. Next time, remove the belt before doing this job.

All of those comments make sense. I'm at 26k on the factory GY tires and wet traction has been non-existent for awhile. I'm sure anything is an improvement at this point.

Wonder if the extra additives you've been adding, are compromising the performance of the final mixture.

Let me know if they carry any benefits over the Defender LTX for pavement. My truck sees zero off-pavement use. Other than the 3pmsf rating of some light all-terrains, I fail to see any reason to consider them over a HT tires.

And how much he has spent on that vehicle, if he bought all of their recommended work.

To be exact, 3081.

How is the top-end of your engine so nasty?

Sunsong works fine. But the Toyota ones are better.

These 3/8” dr Snap-On Low-Profile Impact Swivels are neat!

If your area sees minimal precipitation, wait until the end of season. Tires age.

Now you just need some impact swivel sockets too...
