Seems like Toyota didn’t want to be left out of cheating on diesel emissions. This is on top of Daihatsu (100% owned by Toyota) falsifying safety data and yet another Takata airbag recall for various Toyota products...

Got these put on at the beginning of the month, they replaced a set of BFGoodrich KO2’s on my Ram 1500. The KO2’s were a C load range, the Yokohama’s are E’s…. Yes the truck came with P metrics, but E’s were optional. At the time the SL version was $204 and the E’s were $218 each and the E’s...

I remember reading some rumblings about being bought but the articles at the time made it seem like US Steel wasn’t that interested. Just saw today they agreed to be bought out by Nippon for ~$15 billion. I wonder how the USW union is going to handle this...

“Toyota said Wednesday it is recalling nearly 1.9 million RAV4 small SUVs in the U.S. to fix a problem with batteries that can move during forceful turns and potentially cause a fire.”...

I’m on a roll, haven’t bought a vehicle in 3 years 😜 Almost at 38,000 miles now, bought new in April of 2020. Just been a darn good truck. The only problem(s) it has had was something internal to the fuel tank failed that made refueling it an incredibly long and tedious process around 24,000...

As you may or may not know, Ram has confirmed an EV truck, but today they’ve announced it will have a range extender as well. I think it’s a great idea. They even opened up a thing where you can sign up and give them your thoughts and opinions on what the EV Ram should have/do/whatever. Devils...

So… I did the right thing and bought a zero turn when it’s 18F outside and in January. Been a year or 2 in the making, but I got a Cub Cadet Ultima ZT2 50. For once, I’m excited to cut the grass! Serviceable ZT-2800 hydros, 23HP Kawasaki engine, fabricated deck, led headlights, and big meaty...

After 20,000 miles the OE tires on my Ram, Goodyear Wrangler SR-A’s, were toast. The rears were down to 3-4/32’s and the fronts were at about 7-8/32’s… no I never rotated them. That’s not a fault of the tires, I abused them like they owed me money after the 1st winter but they were terrible in...

Looks like they announced the engines… a 3.5L twin turbo V6 making 389 HP and 479lb ft of torque, and a hybrid version making 437 HP and a whopping 583lb ft of torque both mated to a 10 speed auto. I might have to trade my Ram in 🤔

I’ve got a ~2006’ish Craftsman DGT 6000 lawn tractor with the Kohler 27HP engine. Once it’s warmed up, it seems hitting rougher bumps in the yard causes it to momentarily run super rich, to the point it sometimes blows a nice cloud of black smoke. It could be doing it while it’s cold and I don’t...

After dealing with cheap sub $100 weed eaters that wouldn’t make it 2 years for me, I broke down and dropped a few pretty pennies on this. Can’t wait to use it, hopefully it doesn’t bog down like my old craftsman one did!

Just got them put on our 2018 Grand Caravan. Initial impressions are great, but I’m also comparing to some 3-4/32 Michelin eco something or another tires that were on the vehicle. First set of 3PMSF rated tires and I can’t believe how good they are, van actually gets out of its own way now even...

Just hit 10k, figured I’d do a little update. Cons: Not a fan of the OEM Goodyear Wrangler SR-A’s in the snow or even really the rain, but they’re not as bad as I thought they’d be. Loose piece of weatherstripping up on the roof, minor annoyance and doesn’t actually do any sealing, will have...

I have been warned that the OEM tires that came on my ram are less than stellar in snow... so I am looking for a decent AT tire. The Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 looks like they fit the bill but I’d like some first hand experience from y’all, or are there better options? The G015’s do carry a...

I’m new to well water, never had a softener before. We have a Kinetico water softener at our house. But I accidentally let it run out of salt, no big deal just add more, but I’ve noticed that the water no longer has a sulfury/rotten egg smell. It would smell god awful if it started a regen. Like...

We’re going to be in the market for a new mower, the old 2005’ish Craftsman DGT6000 with a 48” deck is starting to nickel and dime us. We have 2.1 acres to mow with a couple of hills. What should I be looking for? The Toro’s with suspension look nice, and I think Ferris had some with...

My mom has been trying to talk my dad into getting rid of the 2006 Galant as it’s been stalling and rusting apart, and she wants him to drive something safer with AWD for all the snow they’ll be getting since moving. She initially sent me a list with a few trucks, a few Cherokee’s, and a Journey...

Can confirm.

Another one bites the dust! Plastic gear broke right half in 2. Sticker said it was made July 2004... replaced it with a Genie that has a battery backup from Lowe’s.

Current router is a Netgear AX4/AX3000/RAX35, and lately it’s been giving me issues. Refusing to connect to the internet, showing that WiFi is enabled via the led on the router but is not actually showing up on any devices, can’t support a 4K YouTube stream despite having 100Mbps internet, etc...
