    My response is in the post above. You may wish to review how Costco delivers the warranty length.

    54 week old LG refrigerator failure

    I'm not a member at Costco, and I cannot find the exact screen shots you are providing. What I get on the same item states 2 year warranty. The exact same model numbers sold at other retailers include the manufacturers warranty as 1 year Costco's customer service states the following...

    54 week old LG refrigerator failure

    Which is not the manufacturer warranty... and would include the LG refrigerator and all other brands costco sells. Original comment was made in response to a poster stating buy a brand with a better warranty. Costco's warranty only is a differentiater on where to buy it but the base...

    How is ford 3.3L GDI Natural Aspirated Engine

    The 3.3 has always been dual injected (Port AND Direct) so fears about carbon deposits are not warranted. We have them in many of our F150's in our work fleet. They are reliable, but gutless in comparison to the ecoboosts and V8. You will have to get on them to feel like there is any life to...

    Average age of vehicles is up&up

    It almost like the sales of new vehicles slowed dramatically for a couple of years. Say around 2009... https://www.statista.com/statistics/199983/us-vehicle-sales-since-1951/ The questioning of how the average age of vehicles on the road actually increased during cars for clunkers can start...

    ‘23 Malibu has wildly inaccurate fuel range

    Most Fords I have owned in recent years have had an overoptimistic estimate of average fuel mileage from the factory. I've adjusted the engineering parameter to get a more correct reading, and once I did that, the range remaining and the actual amount of gas it took at fill ups matched up much...

    The hypocrisy of selective anger

    I can see this thread/topic being used as a case study for employee relations... While the OP may be technically right in splitting hairs over the definition, the refusal to understand how the usage of the term may be offensive to others and in fact get worked up over the fact someone may take...

    The hypocrisy of selective anger

    Interesting there is no recognition of the use of the word in question as a slur, similar to used in racial and other circumstances. Use of other words were commonly acceptable in the past but are not in current culture. Sometimes it isn't about selective outrage, but listening to the people to...

    Drop unsprung mass, gain serious MPG

    Recalculate after you correct for the new tire size changing the # of miles being travelled. The two tire sizes are not the same diameter/circumference. There are a lot of other factors at play here besides just the weight. The tire section width, the type of tread and rubber compounds, etc...

    Interesting vehicle up for auction low mileage 2019 F350 dually salvage

    Yes, it was originally manufactured for and sold in Canada. Lots of these trucks end up coming back to the US to be sold on the used market. When I last shopped for a truck, you could often find dealers that had many of these trucks for sale on the used market...

    Does anyone need a truck like this?

    So under that interpretation, the only acceptable choice is the entry level, bare bones model. Does that apply only to medium duty trucks like these? Light duty? All vehicles? Over the road Owner operator trucks? Is there a reason a nicely appointed truck bothers so many but they have no issue...

    Does anyone need a truck like this?

    And it would matter to you because? We have literally hundreds of 3/4 ton and up trucks in our work fleet. They work for a living, and do jobs the Tacoma (or 1/2 ton trucks for that matter) are not rated for or capable of. From time to time you will find them in a parking ramp at an office...

    Does anyone need a truck like this?

    Yes. And that bothers you or others because?

    Rant about ripoff from security company

    As others have noted, the op didn't bother to get multiple quotes, didn't like how slow this company was to respond in prior work, yet had them do the work anyways, and is mad the bill is higher than they think it should be after the fact. Who are we mad at again...

    XL tires or standard load rating for half-ton suburban

    Are you getting the same tire? Falken doesn't list a non XL option in the size you mention. If the load rating is at or higher than the placard, then you should be fine.

    New Orleans water crisis

    The Mississippi River in New Orleans is currently at its second lowest flow in recorded history. The previous low was in 1988, at a flow of about 120,000 cfs. It is currently at about 130,000 cfs. In 1988, the salt water wedge made it to the outskirts of New Orleans, but it was of a relatively...

    New Orleans water crisis

    And that relates to salt water intrusion in New Orleans and vicinity in which manner?

    New Orleans water crisis

    One could point to drought conditions on the Mississippi river that are creating the conditions the allow saltwater to intrude further north on the Mississippi (the actual cause of this issue) before letting loose the diatribe on public services, but I digress. All part of the balance of...
