    EV EPA Calculated Numbers

    More news to hurt consumer confidence in BEVs. Car manufacturers use an EPA sanctioned arbitrary number to calculate the EV benefit to their total fleet EPA fuel efficiency number. In the end, another buried incentive to go EV, born by the consumer again. Let's not kid ourselves. Car prices...

    "No Fix Recalls"

    Off-brands that we take on trade such as GMs or Fords quite often ship to the US, stronger dollar, more demand. Seems to me that lately Ford has a permanent "no fix" recall on their trucks. The recall has no resolution. Which means they can't be exported to the US. Latest one is a transmission...

    Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Did Its Job...

    ... and protected the driver. I do know the driver and he was checked out from the hospital and home, 3 hours after the crash. No serious injuries. I don't know how the crash happened. The Jeep was a newer SRT Jeep Grand Cherokee, picture of the Jeep and what the Jeep hit. Just wow.

    How many unintended consequences will the push to EVs bring?

    This consequence looks to be significant, sure the EV occupants should fair ok, but what about the folks in the other car? https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/science/us-official-warns-of-risks-posed-by-heavy-electric-vehicles/ar-AA16etCY?ocid=entnewsntp&cvid=66295dddd2df4d49a0d25049f309ced2

    New 2023 Colorado, will we see improved fuel efficiency? Maybe not.

    Given the way EPA fuel economy numbers are calculated, we may see no improvement in fuel economy on the 2023 Canyon vs. the 2022 V6 model. The 2023 footprint is bigger by 8.3% than the 2022, which gives GM more "room" for fuel economy numbers. 2022 Wheelbase 128.5" Track 62.4" Footprint sq. ft...

    Cummins 6.7L P0101 and P2281

    Have a 2016 Ram 3500 6.7L Cummins Limited Dually with 70,000 miles setting these codes. MAF was changed. Intake air leaks checked/fixed. The CEL illuminates and then the engine derates and goes into limp mode after driving 30 miles. Any thoughts on the remedy here? Thanks!

    So I went to Home Depot yesterday ......

    .... to buy some 1/2" copper water pipe to do a repair at mom's house. None to be found. Went to Lowes around the corner and found 1 - 12' piece left. I know most new builds are PEX now, but the lack of inventory in 1/2" copper was unexpected.

    Winter Tire/Rim Changeover Season - Fun Times Yesterday

    Switched out the steel wheels on my son's 2016 Sorento yesterday. It was quite the ordeal. Seems the wheel hubs were rusting tight to the wheel hubs, making it almost impossible to remove the steel wheels. Used some "Fluid Film" on the hubs in the fall, but it was gone this spring. Kicking the...

    Off Shore Hemi 5.7L Oil Manufacturer Recommendations

    I have seen threads where an engine might be specced with a heavier weight oil outside of NA CAFE requirements. Thought I would look up what oil is specced for the Ram 5.7L Hemi and JGC 5.7L Hemi in the Middle East. The manuals are clear in wanting a 5W-20 meeting MS-6395 spec for both the Ram...

    Changed out the Winter Tires, Fuel economy Jumped

    Wife drives a 2019 RAV4 Hybrid. Her driving pattern is fairly consistent. Changed out her Hakk9 studded winters for OE Michelin Primacy. I reset the trip meter, didn't mention a thing to her. Fuel economy went from 8.5L/100 km (28 mpg) to 7.4L/100km (32 mpg). Weather was similar before and...
