I competed with the RZR this year as well... Since it sits most of the time anymore.
There is the time factor, and that is assuming you're not introducing more moisture into the engine. If it's not hot enough, long enough, it will not evaporate all of it. It's a good way to get sludge... I had that happen last year on my track car being driven on street. Had to pull the pan and...
He's not wrong as he explains the physics of things. He also understands use cases and they won't all be the same.
Also, Blackstone is decent, but I stopped reading their input. They'd tell me oil is still good when it clearly sheared out of grade. Oooo... TBN isn't zero, but your 40...
Internal oil baffles/separators have been present in many engines for decades. As stated above, they're not 100% efficient, but neither are catch can/separators that go back into the intake (though I prefer a closed system). The only way to be certain the oily mist stays out of the intake is to...
If they do PDR, make sure you inspect the interior when they are done. We had an Impreza get caught in hail about 5 years ago and had PDR via insurance. The interior and trunk panels were all eff'd up.
I recently installed a Gentex Homelink mirror that I got for free... Was a bday present off my 'wish list' on Amazon, which I use to remember things that I either want to come back to, or buy when I'm ready. Anyway, it wouldn't work with my Ranger, so I put it in my wife's car.
I followed...
The issue I had with it locking up in 4th gear was that it locked for a split second and then unlocked. This makes it almost feel like it's shifting another gear and ultimately not smooth. On post #17, you can see on the vertical line intersecting the middle of 4th gear, where the RPM looks wavy...
I don't recall being able to upgrade to the luxury package with the XL. Part of the reason we went with an XLT for our 2023 was some of the upgrades not available in the lower trim.
I can be very minimalistic as well... I want to put minimal effort into opening windows (especially anything other than the driver's) and adjusting mirrors.
Crank windows and manual mirrors won't sell. As far as financials, a new vehicle may not be the appropriate answer for that individual...
Manual windows, mirrors and locks... And no cruise control? Nope. I was holding a 1985 Toyota pickup for my parents for the last 10 months while they visited back and forth from here. They've had it since new and it has all the things, or lack there of as you're mentioning (except for...
Got the Homelink mirror installed. The PnP harness made it pretty simple. Garage door programming took me a few tries. Ultimately I used the app on the garage door to get it all working.
Now that I know how to program these, I should probably program my Jeep. It's always had a Homelink...
That is definitely and option for people. They can just remove the lower shutters if they want. I would like to retain shutter operation as well as leave the car as fully functional as possible. Ultimately, this is my wife's vehicle, so she gets final say. She would "let" me do things like...
I got a free Gentex mirror with Homelink and auto dimming. It was given to me for my Ranger, but I don't think I can easily swap it out on that, so instead, I followed the directions on this board to buy some parts and make a harness for adding the mirror to the Maverick. I'll install it...
This was not directed at you and I didn't watch the video. It just seems like a simple subject with remedies that have been around as long as I can remember.
