Hoo boy! I've never had a full sized SUV before with enough giddyup to squat the rear end when she launches! Four hunnert and twenty horsepower on tap with the 3.0 Twin Turbo V6. She can sure get up and move for a big girl... has to be right around 5 seconds for the 0-60. And someone...

These tires are on a 2018 Silverado 1500 Crew 2WD with only 15,000 miles. It is a local truck. Truck was sold new at this dealership, and traded back in. The damage is mainly on the driver's side tires. The tires appear to be OEM's for this unit, due to the low miles and the late 2017...

Yale couldn't justify sending their band cross-country to Washington State for a game that Yale wasn't expected to even win (Yes, Yale DOES have a basketball team).... so the University of Idaho band stepped in to help. And then Yale won, LOL...

Unfortunately, this is real. A 55 degree drop in one day. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lat=40.2979&lon=-90.0608

Folks, I'm hitting the road early in the morning.... and this one is gonna be interesting. It is a 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe with a 2.0 turbo engine. I have it in the garage and plugged in. I know it won't get to 100% charge before I leave, but we'll see how much it does get. It has...

I ordered a $15 item off of Amazon. I had the feeling that it would be coming directly from China, with its stated 20-40 day shipping time, and by the unpronounceable name of the seller. But, the listing also showed "free returns". Hmmmm... How exactly do free returns work here? So, my...

Well, that's the headline from the Chicago Tribune. Can't say that I blame them. I have no huge desire to go see it anymore either. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/1/4/24025324/stellantis-jeep-dodge-chrysler-ram-chicago-auto-show?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=socialflow-cst

Just got home from a 95 mile round trip with a neighbor, to have Thanksgiving Lunch. We rode in style in his 1929 Model A Roadster pickup. And yes, that's a modern Ford pickup parked next to it, at least 3x as big, LOL. It's a gorgeous sunny day. 50 degrees and light wind.

9 1/2 minutes of all sorts of U-Haul fails...

Was finally told by the salesman that there was an additional $995 dealer charge for a "ceramic paint coating". This is on a less than 2 year old pickup truck with 19,000 miles. All of my vehicles are kept inside, and are inside 99% of the time... as I work from home now. Maybe if the vehicle...

Will there finally be a return of a mid-sized pickup to Chrysler/Stellantis? Baby Ram pickup?

Just picked it up at the airport tonight. 4900 miles on it. Black with black interior. Will be putting a quick 500+ miles on it in 2 days. It is reporting an average of 19.1 mpg from past renters. 3.5 liter V6 engine. EPA rating is 18 city / 22 highway. Window sticker is in the glove box. NO...

Took my 2004 Silverado in for a routine oil change and for diagnosis of a noise with one wheel. Since the disastrous series of Jasper engine replacement(s)... as in 3 different Jasper engines in this truck, I've had the mechanic do ALL of the oil changes on it. And when it costs $10 when I...

Here's the details and background: Driver's side front. 2004 Silverado 2WD with 145,000 miles. Happens at low speeds (such as driving though a parking lot, as I am doing in the video). Most prevalent around 8-10mph. Stops by 15mph. Lightly dragging the brake is enough to stop it. Recent...

Well, I was in the auction room at Auburn, and didn't even know that this was going to be happening. The guy sitting next to me filled me in as it was unfolding. Didn't know that Dennis Collins was going to be there either. Walked through the room shown starting at 2:55 in the video, didn't know...

Was getting ready to leave on a ride a week ago today, and discovered that the bike had a flat tire, in the garage. Granted, I was upset about having a flat... but having a flat while in the garage more than made up for it. Finally found a less than 3/16" long splinter of metal though the...
