Personally not familiar with any CA laws, but if it only needs to meet CA emissions you have options as Nevada, Washington, Oregon cars should also meet the CA emissions requirement. Might be worth a little more research or a trip to the registry to ask what your out of state buying options are?

+1 on sc maintence's reply. Great nationwide junkyard lookup. Put in your zip code and sort by distance.

Large Pizza Box for each?

Wow! What a nice truck. I'm definitely with the just keep doing as you have been doing camp. Changing not highly likely to do harm but it could and not likely to gain anything so why ?

If you plan to just replace 1 suggest look on eBay for a used one Buy exact tire brand model with same/similar tread left. Multiple sellers there with good reviews. That's if other tires are good still. Otherwise suggest just buy a new set or at minimum 2 new tires if 2 wheel drive or all 4 if 4...

The transfer adhesive or equivalent that Vavavroom mentions is how they come new. Leave it off button areas.

Have you looked for used on eBay? Usually pretty affordable. Some sellers list mileage and some even vins that allows you to verify low miles with an online vin checker

Yes - with most aftermarket pads, even after removing hardware and removing rust under the hardware. Personally just consider it part of the job and I most always use top grade big name pads. Sometimes just have to grind off stamping burs but often more

That really sounds scary. Are you loosing brake fluid? If not I never just throw parts without diagnosing but in this case where multiple mechanics cannot Id what's wrong, I would. If you replaced the master cylinder and the Abs unit and thoroughly bleed everything I think that would likely...

Suggest Dan check owners manual for correct spec for what the Genesis takes. I mentiond the Napa source of Spiv because someone else mentioned Spiv in the thread.. I do suspect that was what Hyundai was using in 2012, but could be wrong there.

Eneos is probably oem spiv for Hyundai/Kia as bottle looks same as Kia bottle. Napa sells it for abt $10 a quart. Shifted same as factory fluid for me in Kia. May need to order but was only a day for order online pick up. In store when I ordered last

That works. If aunts friend is busy you can buy a pick set for about $2 if you have a harbor freight near you. Just push one that fits it in and move it around. Once it creates a gap pull and twist or spray a little wd40 or soap water or windex in gap and twist and it should pull off ez. Also...
