I replaced the factory Continentals at 9,258 miles at the end of August 2023 with the stock size 225/65R17 Michelin CrossClimate 2's. I waited until the local tire shop had a sale and had these mounted/balanced for under $800. 348 days, 10,004 miles and 4 seasons have passed since then. I spend...

I put all of my fuel economy data into a spreadsheet. This is what I learned. I'll put the TL;DR at the top: 38.2 MPG I drive, on average, 226 miles per week. And I fuel up every 403 miles, or 11.97 days at 10.55 Gallons per fill up The dash has been 6.2% optimistic compared to my calculated...

I didn’t like the color that I was seeing on the dipstick (very scientific metric, I know) and the OLM was at 23% so I changed the oil last night. I even had an apprentice (she only spilled half of a quart on the ground). I did not take a sample this time, so unfortunately no Blackstone...

One of our members ran over a ladder. It reminded me of quite a few odd events that I have had happen on the road over the years. Instead of filling that thread where the OP is asking questions I started a new thread. I’ll start… 5AM on a SE Ohio two lane. I had been driving all night and was...

Just thought the 12,500 mile dash picture I took tonight looked a bit festive. Best wishes to you and yours.

Back in October I completed my second oil change on my Hybrid at 10,888 miles. This was the first oil change that I did myself - the first one was done at a local dealer at 4,267 miles. For context: I drive with fuel economy in mind generally, but also regularly see WOT. I use remote start...

Hello Hybrid Owners, I have been monitoring the temperature of the high voltage battery (HVB) for a little over a month as temperatures drop here in Michigan. I have observed that after sitting overnight in 45* temps the battery temp is within a degree of ambient temps. At the same time, the...

I recorded the screen of my ScanGauge III while driving my truck in various scenarios. While it does not allow us to data log directly, I am effectively doing exactly that by recording the screen. I am putting this thread out there to see if there is interest in this type of data here on the...

Hello Friends, I have been tracking my mileage through Fuelly since I got the truck in January. Around the 2000 mile mark I started resetting the Trip for each tank and recording the MPG reading alongside the hand calculated number. This is from 2000-7000 miles on the odometer. I had figured...

I have been reading the forum for over a year and was initially concerned with 12v battery drain and "Deep Sleep" but from my reading it appears that this issue may be isolated to 2022 model year trucks. I have experienced none of these issues in 4 months and 5k miles. On a separate but related...
