I used to work for U-Haul. The stores get the same answers as the online portal when it comes to truck and trailer combinations. The system won’t let you complete the rental if the numbers don’t work. There wasn’t any override that I knew of, so I can’t say if other stores could bypass that or...
Definitely the dealer. This brings up some interesting scenarios. Once the tracking information stops being received, will the entity receiving it reach out to find out why? It was installed for a reason, right? That would mean admitting to installing a possibly illegal device in your vehicle...
BALANCE OF FACTORY WARRANTY — which is none. But hey, you do get a full detail and a “recent” oil change for your money.
At that mileage, you'd expect it's already gone through multiple sets of brakes, tires, and probably around 19 oil changes—if the mileage is actually legit.
It's available in fifty-five-gallon drums, so there's that. It holds the dirt, but overall, it's good stuff. I'd take it over the black, petroleum-based products being offered.
The Limited grill chrome pieces are stupid expensive, $55-$60 depending on the piece and there are sixteen individual pieces, the base grill is around $140. Crazy!
I'm in the middle of doing mine and getting ready to order the Pro rims. Question for you, can you reuse the lug nuts and did the sensors cross over to the new rims?
This should be what we are are looking for.
Here is a simplified list for at home use.
Step
Task
Target/Expected Result
1
Review symptoms and driving habits
Identify if low-use or high-load usage exists
2
Measure battery voltage (vehicle OFF, 2+ hrs rest)
>12.6V = full, 12.2-12.4V =...
I'm not under the TSB and sometimes get a thunk or hard shift into reverse when cold. It's inconsistent and most times shifts fine. Nothing has risen to the level of a possible trans issue for me.
The covers are probably the same ones I bought on eBay for $20. I spent a lot of time hunting for vinyl that would match and came really close. It’s not perfect and my wrapping skills are subpar, but it does the job. The shade changes with the light and angles anyway, so an exact match isn’t...
Ideas like this come from the various associations and publications that only exist to tell indie shops and dealerships how to "increase revenue" and "build more foot traffic." Back when I was a service writer, I'd thumb through some of the magazines we had lying around—it was pretty...
Each figure is affected by different engineering constraints:
Payload: Curb weight vs GVWR (structural)
Towing: Heat management, chassis dynamics, braking, and sustained load capacity
Manual vs Auto: Gear ratios, thermal load expectations, durability testing thresholds
Timely post! While loading mulch at Lowe's yesterday, I got the comment, "Why isn't there a bed step or something to get into the bed?"
It'll be here Wednesday.
