Glad that’s over.
few thoughts as I watched this unfold.
1) Nickp was spot on, BroncosDong was a scumbag. Insulting forum members, whining about how nobody believes him, bragging that he has plenty more to show and acting like a kid at recess with a bag of skittles that he will only share if...
we have a grand Cherokee, trust me it drives like a full sized Tahoe. They are not the small mid sized SUV’s they used to be from early 90’s till the 2004 models. Ours has the hemi 5.7 and 4x4 and it’s MAX towing ability is only 7200 pounds, weighs almost 6,000 pounds and off roads like crap...
This story makes me think two things about the future of the automotive business.
.
1) The bronco will be cheaper than a JL.

And 2) The JL will be cheaper than a JL.
We are having a “correction” in the stock market, it’s time we had a “correction” in auto prices...
led lights are kickass, I really want those.
I’ve decided I will remain a gasser man and am going to most likely get the 7.3.
Simpler to work on, cheaper maintenance, overall lighter truck and I’ve had great luck with gasser motors.
I’ve found the problems with lariat... (about $67k)
1) Can’t...
Right now people in Phoenix are all wearing jackets or at least a sweater with the occasional Winter visitor who sticks out like a sore thumb wearing t shirts and shorts.
This is no joke!
We were constantly messing with Firestone ride rite air bags when we tested them out for our trailer pulling 3/4 ton pickups. Within 3 years, all 4 trucks were running with blown out bags, bent brackets etc..
Threw them away and installed Timbren, NOT a single issue. Just...
First gen Vortec 6.0’s had piston slap. GM claimed the piston skirts were too short and they replaced a couple of our engines in our brand new 2002 2500hd’s under warranty. The 2003 and newer 6.0’s supposedly had longer skirts and never had the issue.
What I remember being really weird.
The...
You know, now that im home and able to properly take my time and reread everything I realized something. if I would have just said it the way you just said it, I probably could have avoided all the chaos I created for myself today.
Sounds like you and your dealership are unicorns, kudos for keeping good employees happy so they grow with the company. That’s key.
we don’t have unicorns here. What we have are cheap ass greedy thief’s that don’t take care of decent experienced techs plain and simple.
Just picked up an F350...
yes exactly. That and going to chevron And spending money on surpreme gas with “techrolene” when your car only calls for 87 octane is also a waste.
Exceptions to the rule are if you have modifications like tuners that recommend premium unleaded.
I found throughout my entire life that every time...
That would be a liability on Frams part if they claim to have an exact cross filter that does not meet or exceed manufacturers specs.
Never would I run incorrect octane fuel. That would be idiotic.
I never said for anybody to do that.
If your car requires super unleaded then you must run super...
What the hell are you talking about??
Did you even read what I wrote?
Im almost done addressing you because you seem insane but let’s try this again.
1) I NEVER said using dirty fuel was fine. In contrast, I fully explained how I see plenty of fuel related issues on the job sites on...
And oils have gotten way better and fuels are more strictly regulated, filtered and refined. What’s your point?
I didn’t die in the 80’s dude, I’m still driving new trucks today.
Every engine that is ran for more time at optimum operating temperature will last longer than one that does not.
If your commute is two miles each way twice daily you won’t get near as many miles out of that engine as one that is ran once a week for 20 miles.
Edit:
I might add, Short commutes...
I’ve driven DOZENS of trucks very hard and heavily loaded over the years probably 2 million plus miles. I’m a Field service heavy equipment machanic with over 30 years experience.
Things I hear over and over but have never experienced In my life are the following..
The mythical “crappy oil”...
