    Mercedes vibration nightmare again

    How many Kms on the car? Any out of spec play in suspension component is concerning. Have you tried swapping front wheels to rear and rear to front?

    How long does it take to build a 2025 Ford Transit?

    Takes about 8 hours to build it. In August 2014 I toured the Kansas City plant that builds the Transit. We were a launch customer for the 2015 MY Transit. The side panels were stamped in a building, inside a building, just in case something let go - hundreds of tons of stamping machinery...

    Toyota Highlander 2015 - No Trac - error codes p0328, c1280

    The conscenus I see is to do the proper diagnosis before changing parts. Very knowledgeable people on this blog have recommended checking wiring integrity first.

    Or a Dorman, where OE is the correct choice.

    2025 Toyota Rav4 personal engine oil struggle.

    I own a 19 RV4 Hybrid. Do an early oil change, and then follow the dealers 5k, 6 month recommendations. Use TGMO 0W-16, and OEM filter. And then don't worry about it. It will last a long time, and enjoy the ride.

    2025 1500 Ram SST Issues

    Possibly, but the sales people that drive them also pay tax on their use, so it does wash out. It's called a standby tax rate.

    2025 1500 Ram SST Issues

    I work at a large Ram dealership. We have and have had many SSTs out as sales demos. Have yet to see one down, granted they are grounded and sold as demos at about 8,000 miles. Have yet to see a misfit vehicle being dumped as you describe, after seeing 1,000s of vehicles sold. If a vehicle...

    Daylight Savings Time

    I would prefer DST all year. The biggest argument against is kids would be in the darkness going to school. So move school back an hour. They're going home at 3pm right now as it is. Maybe school unions would be against it but it would give students an extra hour of sleep.

    Delta crash at Toronto

    Seems to me the firefighting crews were on scene promptly. People in the process of evacuating and they're hosing it down.

    Changes To Emission Rules (video news)

    Being on the retail side of the car business, I see a big issue on the low end, where someone can buy a decent certified car for 10K or less. Almost non-existent now. The EV mandate would have eliminated the entry level ICE car that is on its 4th owner. BEVs plummet in value once driven off the...

    Ford recommends semi synthetic. Why not full???

    He's showing the damage, as facts. Nothing about oil. I'm suggesting, in my opinion, higher viscosity, more frequent oil changes, "full synthetic" oil may delay, or stop some of the damage he's seeing. If you haven't seen his YouTube channel, check it out. I find it to be quite good.

    Ford recommends semi synthetic. Why not full???

    Fordtechmakuloco would like to have a word with you. With the amount of cam phaser issues and other valve train issues he's seeing, maybe a better oil and/or a higher viscosity oil with shorter oci may have helped.

    Need your professional opinion on tires

    I've been driving a Grand Cherokee with GY Weatherready tires for about 2 months. Have driven through some pretty bad roads, icy, snowy, slushy. I was impressed with them. Next level up would be studded winter tires. I would recommend them.
