The whole Nolan trilogy was awesome.

Just pour some hot water down the drain from time to time? I have a Kenmore which is a rebadged Whirlpool, it is 15 years old now and I had this drain problem once maybe two years ago? So now I do the hot water thing.

People always say "oh I wish I bought Amazon or Apple or Microsoft or Tesla back near IPO" etc etc Now I'm not saying Rivian is going to be one of those companies but the point is you need to have some skin in the game in order to see those type of results. I am in it for a small amount because...

I deal with this a lot with Bosch components where the number is one digit off. Typically the genuine part at the dealer has the manufacturer logos on it while the "aftermarket" one number off part does not.

Purflux is a pretty huge filter manufacturer, supply a lot of OE Euro filters to the big boys. Here is a Ferrari 458 oil filter

As someone said earlier in the thread one particular test that stands out was a Tyre Reviews test where the best tire had stopped in wet braking and the cheapest tire (LingLong IIRC) was still going 40 mph at the same distance. I can post up ten different tests and/or anecdotal evidence and...

With that weave pattern it appears to be a rebranded Purflux

What exactly do you want? Someone to say that junk tires (regardless of where they are from) are fine? People are going to buy whatever they want to buy. You just won't see them on my cars. If there was a car offered on the market for 1/2 the price of a typical car but it didn't pass crash...

Average cost basis around $10.50. Should be fun to watch

A decade working in the tire industry.

They are. Likely double or more, and depending on the pay scale the commissioned sales staff make less as well. My old boss absolutely loved cheap tires and pushed them a lot.

This is the question. A brand like Falken is reputable and already cheap. Tire shops love the Chinese stuff because they are DIRT cheap so they can improve margins. They're also typically junk unless you only drive gingerly and never need to panic stop in the wet.

I almost paid ~$40 for a donair the other day because after I pressed the "tip amount" option ( I wanted to give them $2) I pressed 200 and the machine was setup with the default as a percentage rather than dollar amount :rolleyes:. Luckily I caught it before finalizing the payment.

You just went from like a 50k truck to a 90k+ truck in five seconds

IPhone 13 with average use approaching 3 years old, battery health is at 86%. I am probably going to buy either a 15 or 16 next month after the 16 debuts. My wife has an 11 and will gladly take mine to replace hers.

I saw a newer Duramax duallie with a single cab the other day. I was surprised, guy must have special ordered it

Never have lived no, been to yes. Although the hottest place in Canada (Lytton BC) routinely 110°F+ is only a couple hours away and I drive through there several times a year. Also have a bunch of relatives in Sacramento and spent a lot of time there. I've never noticed a real world difference...

Did it have modern coolants? Air to water heat exchangers for the engine and trans oil? Was it turbocharged, and was the turbocharger water cooled? If so, did it have an auxiliary electric pump to continue to cool the turbo after shutdown? Did it have electronically controlled thermostats? Did...

It's the first oil change. Just change it and move on. Dealer is not going to spend time chasing problems that don't exist.

In what way does your old Dodge truck compare to the OP's modern vehicle?
