K&N are never OK unless you are fine accelerating engine wear to get higher airflow. Doesn't matter if forced or naturally aspirated.

I too prefer my cylinder walls polished from all the micron sized debris that gets trapped in the ring lands. Lol. Your truck is now always be a truck with increased engine wear. :ROFLMAO:

Carbon fiber would not be much if any lighter then an aluminum hood. Most carbon fiber hoods are actually fiberglass with an additional layer of carbon fiber layed on top of the exterior. Because of cost. A true and only carbon fiber hood are real money. Like $3k+ I've had carbon fiber...

Straps and tailgate down. The utility in the rear window though is to get rid of wind buffering. So if you're someone who loves windows down, the rear window is a must.

made it 7 months driving in greater Phoenix. So yeah…:

Thank you for proving my point. My original point was about safety. Which there is no real benefit to awd for safety unless you get yourself in a ditch or snow drift. Like I said no one is throttle steering. Brake vectoring can be done in any car with 4 wheel brakes technically but modern cars...

That brake vectoring is just a way to save on costs vs a real LSD. Once again this is more for power application.

Because in 99% of scenarios that metric will matter the most. I'm not going to pretend to be Colin McRae where I need to throttle steer. For 99.9% of drivers, AWD will not help you maneuver more. I'm just intent on the fallacy where people think they need AWD, when in actuality they don't...

1. if you care about safety, probably nice to know the hybrid stops about 15ft shorter 60-0 then the eco boost. when it comes to safety in slippery weather, I don’t think I need to accelerate quicker. AWD isnt going to help you turn or brake. so safety goes to the hybrid. 2. Motortrend...

Well it was a joke. The hummer EV is a 213kw battery. Which is freaking huge. So I guess it's not so much a joke.

Very few people need AWD. And acceleration figures are not that far off from the EB.

Hummer EV is using up all the resources for batteries....

Well the problem with your statement is carbon buildup on the valve springs unless I'm misinterpreting your original statement. But the valve springs are continually coated with motor oil since they are part of the head under the valve cover. Maybe you mean valve heads specifically where the...

this carbon buildup on valve springs you talked about

Can you please expand? I'm a little suspect of you claim.

See below. That's 80% highway miles, heavy AC usage, vacations with bikes handing out the tailgate, etc. If we didn't use AC so much I think we could get mid 40's.

I feel almost all the loss can be attributed to AC usage. Unless the battery starts getting too hot and then it will limit charging and discharging to keep temps down as I've experienced. But there's very few people who will experience this, let alone notice it. But hey, we probably still...

My mountain bike has the same accent but in purple. It helps me find the valve stem to add air LOL. Looks to be the same here as well.

I also hit traffic prior to the fact. A lot of stop, slow, go which should be great for fuel economy. But I guess the charging and discharging only contributed to heat. so 115+, heavy traffic, bright sun at the hottest part of the day, just seems to heat up the battery too much. Wish I had...

I see through your belittling posts. Point being I’m letting others know this is an odd condition. no battery assistance for movement was provided. Rough slow speed acceleration is a symptom as well because of that. Little to no regenerative braking was occurring as well. Conventional brakes...
