    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    I now know who I need to ping if I ever get a warranty problem! On the lightning, how did the car get hit? I always thought I was safe in a car during a thunderstorm because of the tires. That must have been a mess. Lightning can be scary stuff. A number of years ago, the farm where my wife...

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    I will check the number but I don’t know offhand because on Mopar.com, I have an account so the stuff I order is by VIN. That is a good deal at Walmart but there is not one all that convenient to me. But I am curious -that’s a good deal -so I will check the number on the filter. Thanks!

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    Helpful experience but not dispositive and i would not want to take a day off from work to do that. And how many people simply go away once the dealer initially objects? Again not a dispositive answer although certainly relevant anecdotally. For sake of sanity I put an hourly dollar value on...

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    $104 shipped is a good deal - mine was just under 120 with shipping. Will keep that in mind for the other cars. Thank you.

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    I am an attorney by training. The key phrases in the above quote are “unrelated to the consumers use” and “was caused by.” These phrases invite argument as to what caused the damage. As Boomer posts, who do you pay, or how much of your time do you want to waste, to debate those phrases if you...

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    This debate has been beaten to death before. And the poster above with the Jeep is why I do what I do. Respectfully, I also posted about a good deal on Mopar filters. This is now a complete aside. If you believe the manufacturer is too incompetent to specify an appropriate quality oil...

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    The world is an imperfect place. There is what should be, and then there is reality and how people behave. Have a good day.

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    There is not a store convenient to my travels. As far as the original equipment filter goes, my truck is under a factory warranty so the original parts raise less questions if there is ever an issue. Plus if it is is good enough to be original equipment it is good enough for me. Have a good day.

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    it’s the Mopar e-store: www.mopar.com I am not sure about the 3.6. You would have to check. But hopefully it’s a good deal for you too.

    Mopar Oil Filters from the Mopar store

    For those of you with a Chrysler vehicle, I just got what I think is a pretty good deal from the Mopar store (received an email with promo pricing but no code or coupon) - 12 oil filters for a little less than $10 each with the shipping. That’s for a Ram half ton with the 5.7. Decent deal for...

    Is it legal to have 2 copies of your driver's license?

    Fyi, of my teenagers explained you can now keep your license in your Apple wallet and it is valid for legal use. It is a state by state thing but if you are worried you can find out or just try to load it in your smart phone - it probably won’t allow you to do it if it is illegal. Not the same...

    Can I ask where you got the transmission? It’s getting harder and harder to find parts from good sources. Thanks!

    Car/Motorcycle Accident in Vancouver, BC - Cycle Ends Up on Traffic Light Stanchion

    We have covered the bias. It is based on experience and data. I am focused on sport bikes here because there is a photo of one hanging from a traffic signal. Not something you see every day. If you want to talk about street racing, other illegal behaviors, my reaction is similar. With...

    Go back and re-read what I wrote. You’re missing the point insofar as I agree with much of what you have posted here. Take care.

    Car/Motorcycle Accident in Vancouver, BC - Cycle Ends Up on Traffic Light Stanchion

    We all have biases. Biases allow the mind to react quickly and make judgments in a complex world. Yes, sometimes they are wrong but we would not be wired for them if they were wrong oftentimes. Stated differently they come from evolution. Mine are based on what I see every day. The reality...

    Car/Motorcycle Accident in Vancouver, BC - Cycle Ends Up on Traffic Light Stanchion

    No, I really didn’t. You just don’t like the fact that a large percentage of crotch rockets are ridden by people who ride like ******es. The death rate for these things is 4x higher than motorcycle fatalities generally. Now if you ride in a lawful manner, good for you and I commend you...

    I have little patience for lawlessness in any setting. I don’t want to argue further, I have stated my views. People will believe what they want. Have a good day.

    Car/Motorcycle Accident in Vancouver, BC - Cycle Ends Up on Traffic Light Stanchion

    No you are not missing anything. This is the kind of thing that happens when you make a high powered machine available to people with little training, little maturity (most deaths and serious injuries involve sub 30 year old males), and there is a lack of concern about the deaths and injuries...

    Car/Motorcycle Accident in Vancouver, BC - Cycle Ends Up on Traffic Light Stanchion

    I will take the other side of the bet any day of the week and twice on Sunday. My friend the actuary tells me you are better off smoking than riding a crotch rocket. They are relatively inexpensive to insure because they are relatively inexpensive to replace/total and the injuries quickly...
