    But then your new vehicle would be dead in the water since it couldn't update. Just like when Chevy introduced the new Silverado in 2018 for the 2019 model. It died on the presentation field because the update failed or was interrupted.

    Yeah, then we all would be in trouble if the cell phone carriers do the same thing, which is all a matter of time. Then it will not matter what vehicle you own.

    I just found out vehicle manufactures are selling to insurance companies the vehicle info on how the vehicle is driven, like speeding, hard braking and such. So now rates are going be set accordingly. Also touch screens overseas are going away as of 2026. Wonder if that will follow over here...

    Do you drink filtered water

    I ran a line from our reverse osmosis system to our ice maker. Cleanest water out of the ice maker ever.

    Tonight's rental - 2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe 2.0 turbo.

    My wife picked up a used 2023 JL 4xe Rubicon. Mainly uses it around town. Love the fact that it's easy to park and has a great turning radius. So far have gone 8 weeks between fill ups. Mainly use electric on her short trips and we just use the 110 charger. Takes 12 hours to fully charge...

    Do you drink filtered water

    We are on a well and here in eastern NC the water is contaminated with PFAS. Chemours up the river in Fayetteville has been pumping it into the river and ground for years. We now use a reverse osmosis for drinking water. We also had a huge two cylinder carbon system installed by Chemours to take...

    H7 to H8 size, is it worth the extra 50 CCA?

    It's been 5 years. Battery seems to be doing well. I keep a trickle charger on it. It's the factory battery and was looking at getting a new one. From what I can tell the extra 1.5" length will fit in my battery tray and not hit anything. Might wait but I do go on trips so don't want to get...

    GM AFM lifter failure mode identified by GM?

    The newer failures like in the 2021 and 2022 models were failing at 4k to 10k miles from new. It was an issue with a bad batch of lifters. But if you ask me, it is still the quality of the lifter. GM going with the lowest bidder and this is what you get. Even those that deactivate AFM/DFM are...

    Mower decks- sealed or serviceable spindles?

    I didn't read all the posts but on my ExMark Laser Z HP the spindles are sealed and it has 650hrs on it. But then again, this is considered a commercial grade mower. Only think I had to replace is the main drive belt.
