I've had Revo's since I replaced the Dunflops at 50k. Now after over 100k miles with revo's (multiple sets mind you) I'm kind of tired of them. They're great when new, but they wear awfully quickly, lose their grip in rain/snow/mud conditions after about 9/32nds and become really noisy around...

Did not realize that the gas in coolant, coolant in oil tests don't work. The waterfall effect is still there, yet no coolant loss. I just did 4.8k miles in 11 days, so I expected something to come from it honestly. My #6 plug was quite wet, but I do have leaky valve seals.

For the number people like me Avg $/gal= $2.42 (premium) Total = $736 Avg. range = 300 mi 4,800 mi 16.27 avg. MPG

Thanks all for your suggestions! Unfortunately as with everything, it didn't go as planned. Moab was excluded as time didn't allow for it. North Rim was closed for the winter still, the cold weather followed us out there so we weren't able to camp until the end in the SW (Having a 3 y.o. kinda...

They had at least one side out. They sent me a picture with 3 spark plugs. I'll find out in the morning when I pick it up.

I'll get back to you on that, it was done by a shop.

According to the FSM: Compression pressure Minimum pressure Difference between each cylinder 1.3 MPa (13.3 kgf/cm2, 189 psi) or more 1.0 MPa (10.2 kgf/cm2, 145 psi) 0.1 MPa (1.0 kgf/cm2, 15 psi) or less My results: 1 - 150 2 - 160 3 - 150 4 - 150 5 - 140 6 - 150 Synthetic its whole life, 160k...

It's not after a long time, just turning it off for 5 minutes and I'll hear it. Coolant stays at full though.

EDIT: Radiator test was negative 1 - 150psi 2 - 160psi 3 - 150psi 4 - 150psi 5 - 140psi 6 - 150psi Still unknown about the metal shavings. OLD: Now I'm worried :( I checked the oil to find metal shavings. I also hear the waterfall, gurgling sound behind the dash. No other symptoms. No...

Want to trade for my Windows tablet? LOL. Let me know those waypoints. Whats the policy on camping there?

Finally started making a packing list broken down by Have/Borrow/Buy. Handy to buy things slowly before the trip. Speaking of which, anybody have any camping gear for sale? Majority of my stuff is in-accesible (long story) until June. Anyone use a Fiskars Axe? This one seems really good for the...

I have an old Motorola phone I loaded HERE maps on for the ladys car. Works really well. I did find a Garmin nuvi 1300 on CL for $20. Just figured out how to use GPSFileDepot.com and BaseCamp (from Garmin) to upload custom maps to the GPS unit. Pretty slick I thought.

What about PC based? I have a sweet Lenovo 2-in-1 with Windows 10 and GPS on it. I already have a Windows 10 tablet as well that's collecting dust. Wish someone would trade it for a Nexus tablet.

Anyone know of any good offline mapping software? I used to use Microsoft Streets and Trips, but it has been discontinued. Or even a decent GPS unit maybe used.

Thanks for the offer! Right now I'm taking I80 West to Denver, but that might change.
