One of the guys that works for me this morning his truck was running rough...popped the air filter box and the filter was clogged by road dirt and somehow a paper towel got sucked up... ran to AZ bought a new one. Truck runs great again! Filter is original 2006 with 191k miles in a 6L Chevy...

So my truck is in the body shop fixing a boneheaded dent I put in the bedside, so I get to play the rental car game. Enterprise did a rare thing and let me down, I had three choices, a thrashed out 6 pot Mustang, a VW Beetle, and a Prius. The Prius was the cheapest and less annoying than the...

I'm thinking about getting a set of General Altimax Arctic snow tires for my truck. $113 each and I can pick them up at Tireracks warehouse. Are studs worth it? $60 to stud the set. Anyone run these on a truck? The reviews on Tirerack are quite good. I was going to get another set of wheels...

http://waitbutwhy.com/2015/06/how-tesla-will-change-your-life.html Fantastic article that really explains what Musk is doing. I like Musk's version of the future. When the Model 3 comes out I plan on buying one, or maybe a Model S.

Of normal vehicles. Sound check. My parents are buying a new Rav4, I was forced to go to the dealer. My god I hate those vehicles. I still don't get the draw and I have said this to my dad. I would rather drive my outgoing 2005 Silverado to FL than a 2015 Rav.

What kind of system does FCA use? My truck has a percentage count down but I don't know if its just mileage or if its on a logarithm like GM's. I have 200 miles on the truck and I'm down to 97%, which would make me due for an oil change around 6,500+/-. OTOH the manual had some silly nonsense...

Finally pulled the trigger and just signed the purchase/order agreement. 2015 Ram Tradesman 1500, reg cab 8ft bed. 4x4 with the 6. Now I have 8 weeks to buff up and sell the Chevy. Ordering a truck has some nice benefits you can pick the little options that no dealer ever does. I spent...

I'm negotiating on some work trucks and the best deals are on the V6 ones. How is the Pentastar? Seems to get good reviews. I was going to get the Hemi but I'm changing gears and buying a less expensive truck for work, and getting a car instead as a toy. I drove one with the 8spd and while not...

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31724995 Musashi running! Wonderful ships, but in the end they proved that the battleships days were over.

Nails it, warning a bit of language PG13.

My Silverado is in the shop today, so Enterprise handed me the keys to a blue 2014 Ram 1500 as a loaner. V8 Hemi, 8spd, 4x4, crew cab but not the long cab the smaller one with the 6.5 ft bed. SLT model whatever that means. Seems to be a pretty base model, manual seats etc. This was a good road...

http://www.ford.com/trucks/f150/specifications/capacities/ This is the first time I have seen the actual numbers without the marketing hype. These trucks are light, not one scales over 5k! The equivalent model to my current Silverado weighs about 450 pounds less! So they say, once you get one...

http://jalopnik.com/tesla-model-s-p85d-this-is-it-and-i-went-for-a-ride-1644637002 AWD is pretty much standard now at the above $60k price point so it was only a matter of time before Tesla came out with it. What's very unexpected is the speed, and autopilot. I think it might be on par with...

I love his videos, the massive RR coupe does a pretty good imitation a Subaru drift car! 6k pounds of old England!

The owners list reads like a who's who of the second half of the 20th century, including the Pope. The best built, and most technologically advanced car since the Duesenberg. Since this is an oil forum the hydraulic system that runs everything uses a proprietary Mercedes fluid. Pouring ATF in...

I confess I don't know much about Dodge trucks but they are starting to appeal to me over a 14/15 Silverado for a couple of reasons. 1. Price, it seems I can get a reg cab 4x4 V8 Dodge for about $2k-$3k less than a comparable Chevy. 2. They have more room behind the rear seats in the regular...

LTX MS2's on my Silverado are just about at the wear bars, I think in the next 2k-3k miles I'll swap them out. Normally I'd just put another set of Michelin's on but I plan on selling the truck privately this fall so I want a fresh set of rubber on it, that's cheap. Any decent tires in the...

No one does boats quite like Bayliss. My friend has a custom 50ft sport fish that's finished at about this level.

Since its March and some idiots, I mean die hard's are splashing: I like this motor, its like a cranky tired 16V71TI without a heater! The throat clearing and cough is impressive! Everyone on the dock will hate you! Watching the video I want to yell bring up the R's get the cylinders to catch!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Silver...=US_Cars_Trucks This place has a bunch of these on Ebay, are these flood vehicles? It seems kind of fishy to me, they are cheap!
