    K&N Air Intake

    Not recommending either as I only have had the 63. I do recommend a dry filter from my experience with K&N filters and also to pad the heat shield if you were to install either system.

    K&N Air Intake

    K&N Air Intake

    The 77 is chrome tubing and the 63 is made of hard plastic. I have a 2005 v8 and have had the K&N 63 series installed since the first year. I would recommend not using the oiled filter given with the system. I have used the oiled filter in 3 of my previous cars and 2 of them I had to replace...

    Gas pump keeps shutting off

    Been having this problem for years at different pumps. lifting the pump so the tip points downwards works the best and doesn't require you to constantly hold the lever. I use to struggle with it holding it in different positions but this works best for me.

    Does your V8 consume oil?

    Difficult to pump gas

    Used to happen to me often, but hasn't happened to me as much of late. When it does happen, it works if i hold the pump with nozzle end angled downwards (with auto latch at full). I think it relieves the air pressure so the auto latch won't pop off. You can clearly hear the gas flowing louder...

    What would you do? (battery question)

    Actually living in the San Francisco I make a lot of short trips. I'm shocked at how long it has lasted. I don't want to change it out prematurely, but then again I don't want to be stuck after having not drove it for over a week. I'm looking at probably getting a DieHard. Anyone know which...

    What would you do? (battery question)

    I am still on my original Panasonic battery and it's coming up on 7 years now. The other day, the viewing eye showed that I needed to add distilled water which I did today even though it's a maintenance free and now shows that it is "OK" (blue outer ring and red inner). Other than that it...

    Hey guys how do you change the light on the Drivers Info

    Finally changed a few of my bulbs yesterday. Would have changed them earlier if I knew how easy it was going to be. The dealer wanted to charge me $175 to get them done the last time I had my t4r in for another issue....took me 2 mins to get to the bulbs. Bulbs cost close to $5 each, but they...

    trouble with sunroof

    I had the same cracking noise where the automatic open and close wouldn't work and I would have to cycle through to get it working again by holding the button. I just dealt with it for awhile and thought it just had to be reset. After just dealing with it for many months it finally got stuck...
