    Oh, I get it now, you must be a Cybertruck tough guy wannabe, Junior.

    Synthetic Oil

    Glad you are happy. I was in the OPE business for a lot of years, and was a dealer and certified tech for Briggs, Tecumseh, Kohler, Subaru-Robin (at that time known as Wisconsin-Robin), and Onan. Also Kawasaki via John Deere. Briggs' QC and durability was so bad it got to where if it was a...

    If it's a Briggs & Scrap-Iron, a fill of $0.99 Dollar General oil will outlive it anyway.

    OEM brakes replaced at 71k

    My '19 3500 DRW had @68K on it when it met its demise and the pads were close to 80%. Approx 10% towing 41' toy hauler. Love the exhaust brake. The '24 has had an easier life, so far.

    Mix the mid grade yourself and save?

    When I was a Stihl dealer they allowed up to 10% alcohol. I still have the test kit in my toolbox. Yup, Premium in small engines causes more carbon buildup. This was readily apparent on Onan twins needing de-carb, as you well know. Small equipment tend to sit around a lot. The alcohol in the...

    Wondered how long he was going to stick around after they disbanded the SRT program

    100% due to Tavares and his minions stepping on their dyck at every turn IMHO. Clueless emmer effers.

    Especially on a 3500 when you can get a 50 gallon tank. My range is awesome.

    Cummins automatic trannys

    It's interesting to me that Mopar trans are so hated, yet the only failures I have had were a Ford auto in an Expedition @13K miles, and a Chevy with the hallowed Allison that I lemon-lawed within a year.

    Synthetic Oil

    When I was in the OPE business, and they started putting extended oil fills/dipstick tubes on small engines, I can't begin to tell you how many came into the shop plumb full to the top and hydrolocked.

    Basically, Erik Buell was dead in the water without Hardly's checkbook, regardless of percentage ownership. It was a zombie company/vanity exercise from the get-go.

    Feds to require automatic braking by 2029

    What BS. I hate automated crap, and disable whatever I can. I'll drive it myself, thank you.

    Synthetic Oil

    But service cost is higher, and tires are costly and last 25% as long as a cheap car. I had lots of customers who learned the hard way it was cheaper to commute in a Civic, but no fun.

    I am not disagreeing, and appreciate your effort. I hope it works out as described, but, as hemimann said, I have heard this song and dance before. Fingers crossed.

    Ol' Muskellunge, the blowhard supreme, is getting a little dose of reality, and a heapin' helpin' yet to come.

    IIRC Nissan basically owns JATCO, and their CVTs were sold to other automakers, and were pretty darn bad. Subaru makes their own, I think. Not sure on Honda and Toyota.

    Synthetic Oil

    Tavares and his PSA minions completely destroyed FCA's value equation. They ass-umed they could milk us dumb Jeep and Ram American customers for all we were worth to fund their global needs. But their unbridled arrogance bit them in the ****, and sales absolutely collapsed. All automakers...

    True enough, but more related to sensitivity of the silly HEUI injectors and high pressure oil pump setup.

    Synthetic Oil

    I haven't done a UOA in decades. At that time I was using Fleetguard. I was having fits with two different Ferds with the junk Cornbinder 6.9 diesels and oil consumption. They both had very high iron, but the one was off the charts. I figured test results would help me convince Ferd to do the...

    Next step is oilless, like a cheap air compressor.
