I have had several sets of KO2's, I think one thing some do that causes the wet performance to be less than stellar is running the tire pressure too high. Often, people will increase tire size, and when doing so don't take into consideration the need to decrease pressure as tire size increases...

That's true, consider the use case on those as well.

If foaming in T6 was really an issue then every Subaru WRX/STI, KLR650, or any other higher reving gas engine that ran T6 would have blown up.

When I was a kid I wanted one of those so bad, drive around with an American flag in the back. They were great trucks, If I was in the market for a small truck I would drive a PRO-X4 for sure.

This is spot on. I would ask outside of this community, what percentage of people change the oil on the vehicles they own? What is the percentage of the overall population that does their own oil changes? 20%, 30%?

I also think these engines get a bad reputation, they are complex and with that increased complexity comes increased maintenance requirements. I think they are overall really good engines, make good/great power and can be reliable if taken care of. If you do your part I think they can be...

Not that I could tell. If it did it's so insignificant as to not be noticeable.

I agree with the x-40w oil in the 2.7/3.5 family of engines. I know several people who have had phaser issues running 5w30 dealer serviced intervals. The issues with phaser rattle on these engines are well documented. I think long change interval, the micro soot for lack of a better term that...

I don't know about warm up. My wife hits the button on the 4Runner it fires up as soon as she can she pulls in in reverse and she's gone. I some how don't think it's going to destroy it's self. I wonder how many people in the world are just like her, and how many vehicles see XXX,XXX number...

Try changing the oil filter on a TRD Pro 4Runner, the skid plate weighs 30lbs or so. I am in the same boat, now it's at 25k, not doing 10k oil changes I'm thinking about just dumping the oil this time and running the filter another 5k. Factory Toyota filter, rated for 10k oil change intervals.

I'll have to chime in on this. I work in a Cement plant. Any one familiar with the type of industrial fall out of a cement plant knows how difficult it is to keep a vehicle clean. I was turned on to Tec 582 about 6 months ago. I have used everything you can imagine over the 15 years I have...

You opened a can of worms. I had an 05 5.4L, ran 5w30 and Fl-820s only for 130k, no phaser rattle no chain issues ran great. 5k oil changes, I did plugs on it my self and had to put a transmission in it at 100k. Regular maintenance, coolant flushes, trans fluid changes, transfer case, diff...

Grey Pneumatic (81659CRD) 3/8" Drive 59-Piece 6-Point Fractional and Metric Duo-Socket Set Not the same I know, but I have these and think they are probably the best sockets I have. I use them now almost exclusively...

I would take the VIN to a dealer and do a search on what's been done to the vehicle. The CarFax will not show all the details. The 4xe has had lots of known issues. Some recalls, some stop sales. If you check the Wrangler forums there are lots of people who complain about them. Some love them...

That's impressive, that's not even the supposed updated chain and phasers.

So much smack has been talked about these engines, this is really interesting. Do you know if the cam phasers are original? Timing chain guides/tensioners? Anything about the maintenance history? Coolant flushes? How's the transmission?

I don't usually follow the rules either, like you it's served me pretty well most of my life.

I find it interesting no one has commented on how it's going to blow up or be ruined, destroyed by using the wrong grade of oil.. cold start flow..Bla,bla,bla.

One time I was using my Top Sider oil extractor to do an oil change on my 2016 Jeep. Same thing happened, started sucking air when I thought there was a little more oil in the pan. I twisted the nylon tube a little and it got stuck......which freaked me out a lot! I could not pull it back it was...

I have a Greenworks Pro 80v we bought from Costco. Blower and Trimmer. I am very impressed with them the blower is very powerful and very tuff despite by best efforts I have not broken it. The trimmer is hands down better than a gas trimmer. We have had them a couple years now so they have had a...
