What is the empirical data that proves your combination reduces wear of an engine? A UOA with "better than average results for 5.5k OCI" is not, by itself, proof that it reduces wear. The same company, doing the same UOA, after driving the vehicle in IDENTICAL conditions, with AND without the...

If you get a high quality, API SN Rated, full synthetic oil, you will not be improving the additive package already in the oil. Oil manufacturers design additive packages for each oil type to meet or exceed the API SN requirements (currently the highest level tested by API), and every...

OP- In short, that oil will be slightly thinner at operating temperatures than what the factory calls for, but it will be fine for you to use. There is not enough difference here to matter. I do not believe that it will have much, if any, positive impact on your performance. If you want to drop...

Ok. I thought there would be a sensor for front wheel position and a calculation against inside rear wheel speed to determine the drivers intended trajectory.. Maybe I'm over thinking..? I've tried doing donuts twice in deep snow and the center diff really spoils the fun. I don't think I've ever...

Here's the numbers: (OP's first option)- $30,000 loan @ 3.00% for 60 months= $32,343.60 total payments $30,000 loan @ 4.00% for 60 months= $33,150.00 total payments. I give 2 rates, because that's the range that I see for private party used purchases currently, though, your rate may vary...

We had our first decent rain in a few weeks here this morning... I was on a slick off ramp this morning and my front end started pushing. I was surprised that the VSC didn't kick in, so I kept turning the wheel farther (it just kept plowing ahead), until I had turned almost 1/2 turn past where I...

I've been a member of JeepForum, TundraTalk, NASIOC, and this forum years ago (but I lost all my login info when I bought my 5th gen and returned... :violin:). NOWHERE, have I encountered a group of senior members (sorry, 1engineer... I mean "senior" in terms of your forum tenure... :bounce:)...

OP- Don't listen to him ^ I have black and it shows A LOT of rock and rock-salt chips.

Idea for the moderators... Can we make a Turd Pro Specific sub forum? And while we're at it... One for 5th Gen supercharger posts as well... That way the kids can play by themselves! :hurt:

+1 When you lose a key fob and need to buy a new one, they reprogram the fob to the vehicle, not the other way around. The only thing I can think of is some kind of hack where the key fob sends out 2 codes (each vehicle's code) at once.. But I would have to call the hacking group Anonymous to...

Put your hand in a plastic sandwich bag and slide it over the paint surface after washing. If it feels perfectly smooth, clay isn't needed. If you are waxing, and do not clay, you are sealing in, and potentially damaging the paint, if you do not clay. While waxing, you may pick up something in...

Am I the only one who noticed he's going on a 2.5 month camping trip? Holy ish man. Awesome. What's the plan with that?

Out of curiosity, why do you feel it is overused?

New car paint is cured in an oven. A 6 week waiting period is not needed. Body repair or new paint after the factory, wait as long as the painter recommends. Each paint (and climate) is different. Polish is what gives the paint depth and shine. If you never polish, you will never see the paint...

I have the same problem on my '14 LE. Reversing out of a parking spot with wheel turned sharp is the worst for me. I think it's just inherent to the center differential on the LE. Mine did it from mile 1 on the odometer.
