    Anyone taken any long road trips?

    No long trips yet. May June and July will see trips to Atlanta, Alabama, Upper Peninsula MI and possibly Florida. All separate trips from central Ohio. Probably an oil change in there somewhere but everything else is ready to go. 232,000+ miles on the clock currently

    Severe transmission lag when slowing down then attempting to accelerate

    Experiencing similar issues. I think I'm going to service and / or replace the trans wiring harness.
