Don't have enough miles to really know one way or the other on difference in ride quality, though I'd say there's nothing I've noticed negative about it. I had about 2500 miles before I pulled them out, I've got about 100 miles since.
I'm not a big suspension guru (although I did take an...
I pulled the lift block off the rear axle this weekend. I bought the 2WD u-bolts, it was very easy to do the work in the garage. The rake on my truck with about a 1/2 tank of gas was on the higher end... 38.5" top of fender at the front, near 43" in the rear. With those blocks out its about...
2019 M2 Competition. Was my sunshine car, but turned into my daily driver the last few months. A blast to drive, but not great shuttling kids around!
speaking of whom, my youngest dubbed the truck the Stealth 150, since it has a bit of the stealth bomber color going on.
Brought one home today. 402a, lead foot, torsen. Ordered 8/20, got x-plan pricing, unloaded a 2016 Tacoma. This truck is big by comparison, I’m used to stepping right out of the truck on the ground. Gotta use the running board! Fits in the carhole, though only about 6” of length to spare.
Some good sleuthing tips right here, thanks! I looked at ~15 trucks both at the dealer I went with and the larger one up the road. Most were in the 12-20 days (Houston area, though in Galveston County), though there was an outlier I saw in the 30 day range. Gives me a bit of optimism, though...
Does anyone have data to show the time from build date to delivery in the last few weeks? I'm hoping I can have the truck before Dec 1, and I have a Nov 6 build date.
My 8/20 order is scheduled for 11/1 thus far. It was unscheduled clean until ~9/17, when I got a VIN and the 11/1 date, and I checked it again yesterday. Order is the 402A, Torsen, and B&O Unleashed, Lead Foot. Hoping it keeps that schedule, I’d like to have it in hand for some December trips.
I work in the lithium ion battery field (space flight use), and in general a lithium battery without a load should hold charge for months (and longer) without a tender. But… I haven’t looked at any kind of schematics for the powerboost application. I’d be surprised if there are active loads...
There would be a broad middle finger to that dealer had I stumbled onto that market adjustment. Maybe I should just be grateful that I don't need a truck immediately, I'd hate to be at the mercy of a seller. Likewise grateful my dealer was willing to take x-plan on a custom order.
Looks like my August 23rd order has been scheduled for week of Nov 1. Decided to change color to Lead Foot, hoping that scheduling holds lest I need to choose a new color.
