That’s terrible about the AMSOIL……I’ve read about the Fram version though.
Just to ruffle some more feathers I figured I would post this comparison picture. The top Microgard is the FL500s version and the bottom is the FL820s. I won’t say which one I’m running on my Powerboost…..but I’ve...
I think we have similar opinions about maintaining our vehicles.
I run a maximum of 5000 mile OCI’s on all turbo/DI vehicles that I own. I enjoy spending a half hour or so under my pickup just double checking everything to make sure there isn’t anything that I need to let the dealership know...
Synthetic vs cellulose media, the quantity of the media, the type of backing material along with other design factors come into play for the filtering rate.
BITOG has some seriously informative threads on this subject if you want to do some reading.
If not, you can stick with what you’ve...
Here is a thread about the Car Quest, but you can read through quite a few different threads on BITOG about the issues with BOSS and Wix XP filters. There is a standardized test that is accepted by nearly all of the reputable filter companies and you can look at those threads that talk about the...
He is a hack according to people on BITOG that work in (or have a bunch of knowledge about) the filter industry. He did not use the ISO standard that most reputable filter companies are judged by.
I ran a Boss for one oil change and ended up doing some reading on BITOG about the iso 4158 or whatever standard they use to test filters. Long story short........the Boss is a rock catcher according to some very smart people. I decided to run a Microgard Premium from Oreillys (Carquest was...
Auto reviewers that can only spew what the manufacturers post in their release are worthless anyway. Ben Hardy never gets to the crux of the matter like the Car Care Nut or some of the other in-depth channels that are out there.
Yeah, I might have been perfectly happy with these if I had dealt with a brick and mortar shop instead of an easy to order option.
I will say that the Baja legend was a decent tire......I just happened to have two of them that wouldn't balance.
I appreciate the feedback!
I considered the G3's but decided against them initially. I might go ahead check out the E rated G3 since they are listed at only 52 pounds. I guess I just didn't want to jump on a new Nitto product when I didn't love the G2's. I was hoping to see some high mileage...
The way I understand it (maybe @HammaMan, @Snakebitten, @FaaWrenchBndr or someone with more knowledge than me can chime in)
When you turn your truck "on" the DC/DC charger kicks in immediately. At least that is what I have noticed. My pickup doesn't care whether the ICE is engaged or not, it...
I was thinking the same thing. Like I said.......that is my only complaint.
I will be calling them to see about an alternative......but it will probably be Nokian or Michelin.
Switched out the bigger Mickey Thompsons after customoffsets refused to offer any type of customer service during a warranty issue with two of the tires. Long story….but I’ll never do business with them again.
I ended up buying a set of Load range E 275/70/18 Rocky Mountain A/T from Discount...
Yes, I run a MX+ also, and can see voltages while driving. I was referring to resting voltage and the "sag" when the starter is used.
If you run a Bluetooth monitor on your batteries, you might notice some differences. I'm not saying that your AGM isn't a good option, but it probably won't...
I'm not sure about the LFP options that @Snakebitten and @HammaMan are running but the X2 that I bought has a BMS with safety feature that will not allow it to accept a charge until it warms up to 33ºF. I had several mornings that were below 0 and the battery would always begin charging with...
I don’t know if you run a battery monitor, but it’s been super informative since I installed mine a couple weeks ago.
This would be one of the biggest differences between a decently sized LFP battery vs the AGM.
Mine has a resting voltage of 13.25 and even on the rare occasion that the starter...
Too many uneducated owners and technicians were probably the biggest single reason why the powerboost got such a bad reputation. My local dealer only had one tech that even knew anything about the powerboost, so I decided to go 30 minutes away for my next warranty appointment where the service...
