Quick and simple upgrade on the Kia... Solid shifter bushings. Here are the factory ones I removed. Phenomenal engagement through the shifter with out that "rubbery" feeling now. Little details count, and to be able to physically feel the engine RPMS via the shifter.. 👍

Thanks for the update on your code. I stumble across this code quite frequently in the FCA world and 9 times out of 10 the fix is expensive...

Yep... one of each... on 2 different 90's vehicles.. in a row! Ford Taurus 3.8L Under 100K miles.. head gaskets were absolutely blown.. Ran that 3.8L until the pistons actually broke through the side of the block... - it did not take long haha. Saturn SL2 (DOHC Automatic) About 115K miles...

Kinda digging the red "Kia" Emblem., and the lack of computers/displays/power motors/sensors etc to go wrong... Im almost half impressed at the 25W + 25W tape deck. Is this what happens when you get old? "back in my day".... Good deal nonetheless. ;)

Honest question arriving. It does appear that the first gen 2.4L/2.0Ls that have been "babied" so to speak have more issues with oil consumption, noises, and overall a rougher engine esp as the miles add up... BUT a 2.4L/2.0L that see WOT more often than the "babied" vehicle seem to not have...

Weather is getting warmer... know what that means? Back to "thick" With the past 74$ Vavoline Restore and protect (pass) 0W20 o/c fresh in my mind, and now over the "bitterness" of the price I paid for it... I liked the Euro 5W30 M1 ESP but being a Autozone only oil at near 50$ for 6 Qts plus...

Sparkplug replacement and test run of the new video scope on the 2.4L....

"Knock Knock".... Who's there??? No it's not the 2.4L 🤣 A very common source of steering wheel knocks and on center "play", and that would be the rubber/plastic steering wheel coupler bushing on EPS equipped Hyundai/Kia vehicles. The sonata has a silent recall/extension/customer satisfaction...

Kia 2.4L MPI Out: PUP HM 0W20 w/ OEM filter - 3,900 miles In: Valvoline Restore and Protect 0W20 W/ OEM filter. First impressions: PASS Based on a strictly "price point" there are much better value proposition oils that are not AutoZone only location specific. I had to try it, but the...

This is a interesting observation regarding Subaru & PUP.. recently w/ a Subaru 2.5L 2014 40 ish K miles, no mechanical issues and no noticeable oil consumption over the years.. I swapped out the dealer oil with PUP 0W20 & a OEM filter, filled up to the full mark on dip stick, (factory spec +...

I'll put my 2 cents in... I was literally going to ask the same question about my Koup, as I noticed a "couple" times recently I started the kia on pretty brisk mornings (single digits) and it revved to near 3500 rpms out of the blue, I actually thought the same thing the pedal was stuck or...

One last thing I noticed is... Do you have both the WIFI from your MODEM/ROUTER combo (MOTO25FC) and your LINKSYS router enabled? As in do you have (2) separate 2G networks, and )2) separate 5G networks showing up under your WiFi?

You have a separate Wi-Fi router (Mentioned Linksys WRT1900?) which would be your Linksys WIFI and then you have a Motorola modem. The Modem receives the data, than the LINKSYS Router WIFi lets the data be assessable... The 16 channels DOWN/ 4 CHAN Up are the CABLE STREAM connections from the...

Verify your Wi-Fi router settings via the admin page, ( 192.168.1.1 ) or ( http://myrouter.local/ ) The default administrator password of an unconfigured router is admin. If you have changed it, enter the new password instead Paying for 600 Mpbs down, 20 Mpbs up.. results on a iMac using 5 Ghz...

Unfortunately, I can confirm on the 3.6L - see a lot of them come in leaking oil, sometimes POOLING in the cavity of the engine below the filter housing, and oil than running down the bell housing and dripping/running down the whole undercarriage of what ever vehicle the 3.6L is installed in...

interesting results.. I'll pass this information on, that I really did not believe, until after about 7 or more alignments over the years, and replacing the whole front end of the car.. EVEN SLIGHT BENTS in the rims can cause a OFF CENTER wheel! I had a "drift" or "Bias" pull to the right...

Gotcha Maguires… 😂 it is Jan 2024 after all in NY, and for some reason never tired the Maguires ultimate detailer on the car under 40 degrees and sunny. Todays there a snow flake icon on the display, and full clouds but the truthfulness of the situation was the spay wax was never easier to...

For the curiosity in us (me) :LOL: I decided to disassemble a half dim H11 LED bulb to see what makes it... Light!. There is not too much going on inside of these LED bulbs. looks like a couple controllers, and 3 micro LEDs per side of the bulb for 6 micro LEDS total per bulb. The aluminum...

How Ironic this thread shows up. Just serviced an older 2.4L Journey with about 78K on it the other day. The holding tank does not hold pressure, the metal radiator cap on top of the radiator SHOULD have pressure after getting warm. If no pressure most likely the cap is not holding the the...
