    R-444A VS R-1234YF refrigerant

    I'm sure Dupont will sue it out of existence :) Or somehow patent it and make it proprietary.

    Chevy Owners Manual: “50 MPH for first 500 miles towing?”

    I view it more as 'headroom' I'd rather pull an 87 mph tire at 70, than a 70mph rated one at 70.

    Chevy Owners Manual: “50 MPH for first 500 miles towing?”

    Carlstar (Carlisle) Radial Trail HD and the Goodyear (Endurance?) tires are both 87 mph. The 'Walmart' Carlisle/Carlstar (Reliance Radial) trailer tire is 81 mph rated. ..or at least they are in my 14" size

    Chevy Owners Manual: “50 MPH for first 500 miles towing?”

    You'd end up with an 18 wheeler treads up and over your rig out on this coast doing that. It would be seriously unsafe.

    Good for you? You have your (often wrong and abrasive) opinion, while the rest of the world has differing views.

    Chevy Owners Manual: “50 MPH for first 500 miles towing?”

    Keep an eye on temps and send it. It has done all the breaking in it is going to do.

    Chevy Owners Manual: “50 MPH for first 500 miles towing?”

    The day I took delivery of my 2025 Powerboost Granted, I didn't hammer it on the trip and it was only a short 50 mile pull, but I refuse to be a rolling roadblock, so speed limits were observed. I would be more concerned with the transmission adaptive tables learning properly over the first...

    Bought A Cheap Accord, The Sequel: Acura TSX

    I keep kicking around the idea of looking for one of those to buy. Problem is, the wife would need to drive it for a while since I don't really want to give her the TL to drive, and I'm not sure how keen she'd be on DD-ing a 6 speed.

    Which Valvoline ATF for 06 honda pilot

    3 Shafts, yes, 100% fail. 4 shaft units are solid except for some that have converter issues. Plenty of high mileage Ridgelines and Pilots out there, along with the TL's and lat(er) 2007+ Accord V6's.

    Tuff Torq K46 Fluid Change

    Tuff Torq Recommended 5w50 Mobil 1 for years until they launched their own oil and changed all of their manuals to match.

    Put Bilstein 5100 on my 2019 Tacoma

    If you're trying to decide between the 4600 and 5100's make sure and contact Bilstein first. In a lot of cases, if you're not doing any height adjustment the 4600's are valved the same as the 5100 and will save you some $$.

    Well.... I bought some closeout air filters and cabin air filters for the Honda Cousins..... I don't think I'm getting them any time soon. For reference, I'm near Athens, GA.

    The Current New Truck Market Is In Trouble

    This x10000 The '1/2 Ton' market is littered with 'trucks' that aren't anything more than a 4 door sedans with an open trunk. You have to shop very carefully if you actually want one that is capable of doing 'truck stuff' (IE Hauling and towing). The market is littered with trucks with...

    My 2006 Acura TL

    I'm not sure where Honda lost the plot with the TL's. Pretty much 100% of the dashboards crack. My 2003 Accord, same basic platform, different dash design, you'd assume made of similar materials.....no cracks pretty much ever.

    My 2006 Acura TL

    I've got the one Rockauto sells. I THINK it was the 'sedona suede' in black...its been a few years though. Does a decent enough job for me. I've seen other people use the coverlay one that is a bit more plastic/close fitting.

    Hybrid brakes and calipers

    With rotors this cheap I would throw those right in the trash and replace them and give the whole system a once over, front to back. Lube the pins, flush the fluid.

    Is Schrader an OE for Ford TPMS sensors?

    I've used the guys over at https://www.tpms.com/2015-Ford-F350-Super-Duty-TPMS-s/6660.htm They actually beat most other vendors when I was looking for a set for my Ranger a few years back. I did the same thing as you and spent all kinds of time looking into what I could use and then just...
