    School me on DW & Colt 1911

    I have a Dan Wesson Guardin and a Colt Competition... Both in 9mm. The Wesson is a better looking gun. It is a commander. It is also a little finicky about ammo. The Competition is a govt.model in SS. I have never had a issue with it. For a range toy either one would be fine. When buying a...

    Anyone have experience with decibel meters?

    Yep. Either calibrated and certified or not able to be calibrated. If you can't calibrate it, it can be checked against another. User calibrated leaves room for abuse.

    Anyone have experience with decibel meters?

    I have one I bought from Grainger many years ago. Extech 407703A...it's been discontinued, I don't think its user calibrated. Amazon has some other brands.... they can go from cheap to really expensive depending on your exact need. In my case, there was an employee complaining about the sound...

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    Our old dealers service dept. was great.... They grew really big and just stay busy. If we need service again we will go back there. 3rd Acura for us also. 99 CL 2003 TL 24 RDX They make a great car.

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    Ford will. I had some warranty work done incorrectly. Ford will authorize you to take it to any other dealer. They will get you a rental and make sure the service is done correctly.

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    The OLM was at 15%. It was coming up on a year in service. It was time. Even my old 7.3 diesel wouldn't look like that with 120 miles on it.

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    You get what you inspect, not what you expect. This dealer was a little further.... We thought we would give them a try. Far less crowded and easier to get to. If we decide to go to a dealer again....we will go back to our old dealer.

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    It's not worth my time to drive to the dealer. It was worth even less once I put it on the ramps and took a picture of the oil filter.... I was 15 minutes from having done it at that point. The first trip wasn't bad. I followed her over and took her to an old style meat market BBQ place in a...

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    I think he is joking. Either way, makes no difference. Her OLM indicated the oil needed to be changed. Acura refers to it as an A1 service. Car has been in service 11 months. The oil is so clean now you cannot see it on the dipstick. You are allowed 6 services in the 2 yr plan. She may get 2.

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    My understanding it is now ex employee..... as it should be. Someone should be responsible for checking to see if the work was completed. That falls on the shop foreman. The Service Director turned out to be an OK guy. I have his personal cell number now. He said call him anytime. My gripe...

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    I usually do it myself. It's the wife's car and I defer to her on who does it. In this case, she gets the first 2 years of maintenance free. Just trying to get what we paid for, I mean, it's just an oil change.... how they going to screw that up???!!!

    Correct. That is the original factory filter....after the "oil change".

    2024 Acura RDX, horrible service from Acura

    As a heads up, let it be known that Honda/Acura will not help you when you have an issue with a dealer. Long story as short as I can. Took my wife's car in for its first service, Acura covers maintenance for the first 2 years. About 2 days later I check the oil...apx 120miles. I called Acura...

    Do tow truckers not get tickets?

    LOL, I'm talking about the ones just driving to work... I'm on the NW side. Used to head east toward Humble on bw8. I think the Sherrif has a sub station just past 59. I guess they were running late. People have no idea how many law enforcement agencies we deal with here. Almost every school...

    AGM battery on a non AGM car?

    If it had an AGM, it says in the owners manual of the F150, when you install a new battery you leave the truck untouched for 8 hrs to reset the state of charge. That does not reset the BMS. To reset the BMS. Key on, engine off, flash high beams 5 times, step on the brakes 3 times and the...

    Do tow truckers not get tickets?

    You know they don't. Tow Trucks are usually waiting for the cops to show up. They come out anytime and the cops depend on them. You also see how the drive going to an accident. Sherrifs and Constables are the worst. I used to have several blow by me on the Beltway going into work....when I used...

    Any experiences with Dorman steelies?

    You could try Discount Tire. They sell wheels for the exact reason you want one. They may even have a slightly used tire for it.

    Diesels have doubled in hp.

    Ford couldn't make it work with thier V6 diesel. I think it was supposed to get around 28mpg. When you start looking at fuel cost and maintenance... and convert that to $$$ per mile it can get tough. Maybe Chevy can get it done. Dodge was doing ok with it. I don't guess either one has a gasser...

    AGM battery on a non AGM car?

    If I was running an AGM in a vehicle not set up for it, I would keep an eye on the standing battery voltage with the engine off. If I was seeing standing voltage above 12.7 I would be concerned. Last time I checked my truck it was 12.4. My wife's car was 12.3. Depending on who's chart you...
