    School me on 2007 or 2008 Dodge Ram 1500

    I'm looking for a truck - and I don't know all that much about trucks. I like the Fords, Nissans, and Dodges. The Dodge is the most affordable, so unless I can find a great deal on a Nissan or Ford I'll go with a Dodge if it's not junk. I'm looking for a 2007 or 2008 with under 40k miles. My...

    Spark Plugs - is this an issue?

    I changed the spark plugs at 44,xxx in my Jetta 2.5L 5-cyl. Looking at the pictures .... well I'm not sure how to describe it. It looks like oil got where it shouldn't. I've never seen plugs with this oily goop. Is it something the factory puts on like dielectric grease? Should I have put some...

    Texas guys - where you at? Garrage day?

    Willis, TX here. We are about 30 miles north of Houston, and 15 miles north of the Woodlands on I-45. I've noticed a few other Texans here on BITOG, and was thinking it could be fun to have a little meet and greet. Some of the best friends I have were met on the vwvortex or other car enthusiast...

    STP S2870A Cut Open

    Let's hear what you think. Can't expect much for the price. Their cartridge filters (at least the VW 2.5 filter) has made in Germany on the top and feels pretty solid.

    Top Tier - premium or product line?

    I typically run 93 octane (premium) fuel in my car. Though the car requires Regular, I feel better putting in v-power etc because of the added detergents. My question: am I incorrect in thinking that there are more detergents in the v-power over the regular at Shell, for example. Are Top Tier...

    Getting ready for the weekend!

    This weekend will be a busy one for me! I'm doing the Cam follower in my A4 2.0T, and the 40k tune up on my 2.5 (only 5k miles late lol) I got all sorts of goodies in the mail, including 12L of LM goodness.

    I was going through my old photobucket account, posting pictures in anther thread I made - and stumbled onto the oil cooled computer my roommate and I did in college. I thought I would share. I tested the idea using a cheap alarm clock I got at the local wally world. I didn't want to sacrifice...

    New guy - my various cars

    Hey guys! I've been browsing BITOG for ages - and decided maybe I can make some contributions to the community. I'm 24, from Texas, and like long walks on the .... wait who am I kidding. I like Volkswagens. My love affair didn't start with VW, though. My first car was a 2001 Honda Civic that...
