If tire diameter, tread compound (softness/stiffness), tread contact and total assembly weight are similar, no difference in performance will be noticed. That should be pretty obvious. The biggest difference will rest in the heart and mind of the owner. Does it matter if your Mav wears fancy...
Sounds exactly like the windshield of my wife's car. I printed pictures for the dealer but they couldn't confirm the condition since they open after and close before driving into direct sunlight was possible. After 12 years, it never got worse so it never got fixed. She wasn't lucky enough to...
Saw that video on the Ford Auth site. Rear suspension looks like a twist beam, got steelies and I think that's a Hybrid badge on the tailgate so you can eliminate a bunch of us from suspicion. Guilty driver is in a white hybrid XL fwd.
Finally had the EBB replaced back in June. Had no pushback from the dealer but waited over month from DG to repair. Parts backorder apparently. No biggy, it took me over a year to reach 5k miles and take it in for oil change #1. So far so good and the pedal height is a little lower now than...
My chiropractor used to say, "take it easy...young mind, old body not too good." Nowadays, my old body aches and pains are making me mindless. Rest his soul.
Idk offhand. Need to check the diameter differences btwn the OE 24 Lariat, the OE 25 Tremor and the 245s. I go to the Tire Rack website when looking for these specs.
Ah, now I see. Your seat of the pants sensations are 100 percent accurate because of the final drive difference btwn your 25 and 24. The 3.81 in your Tremor compensates for the taller tires and still results in higher freeway revs than your 24 at the same speed. All EB 25s were built in AWD...
Bumping this thread.
Did you ever have this checked? Seems you're describing the noise of the High Pressure Fuel Pump. Shuts off in Neutral and the engine runs on Port Fuel Injection only. The HPFP and Direct Injection runs in Drive at idle in anticipation of upcoming acceleration need...
Does your Tremor build speed faster than your 24 or your friend's 25? Tremor has taller tire with same final drive ratio as your friend's 25 so it should be noticeably less quick. To be quicker than a 25 Lariat (same engine as your Tremor), it must have some unstated difference like different...
The steering wheel was canted to the right in the initial reading, thus the exaggerated left side toe in. The steering wheel is level in the after reading, the left toe is lessened
0.14 degrees and the right is increased 0.10 degrees, both Total toe readings are very close. I agree with the...
Yes. Nissan has external mounted filter element and Toyota has in-pan type filter. Nissan got smart with the external mounting on the newer generation of cvts versus the idiotic valve body mounted ones on the older Jatco designs. I can write an epic horror novel on that Jatco filter. And...
Which transaxles today still have replaceable filters? I don't know of any including the HF45. Most everything will fail at some point no matter how good its reputation is or how good you think it is. Auto manufacturers engineer their products with different performance priorities today than...
To answer your question, nothing that I can quote but I do remember reading something somewhere. Manufacturers use transmissions that suit the requirements for the intended purpose of the vehicle. To use a higher capacity trans than necessary for that requires larger components, additional...
Ya, I remember a mag had the eb at 14.5 but I thought it was a '23 or '24. Was it C&D? No matter. My old eyes plus old brain equals messy messy memory.
I queried DD regarding tapping into the harrness to allow the fogs to be switchable instead of always on with the low beams. The reply I received was not encouraging. They do not condone alterations of the harness so some investigation into the operational strategies of the lighting system...
