Like the blue colour for ambient lighting. Prefer red though meself, better at night fighting road hypnosis. Used to leave the red map light on in the lorry when on the night shift otherwise I couldn't get ten miles down the road without falling asleep. I put my car in the median of the...
Very few vehicles came with a standard transmission temp gauge. Its all mostly aftermarket. I think that should be something factory standard on all trucks, and SUV's with tow packages.
With the six, 35 is at roughly 2500 so I up shift at that point mainly out of habit, and the engine noise gets to me real quick. The gears could seriously be a bit wider. I will even up shift earlier just to keep the tach down sometimes if speed limit is 25 and I'm running 30, but depends on the...
Thanks to ''Ethanol Subsidiaries'' we no longer hold cheapest fuel. Ethanol 89, is $1.63, regular 87 just over $2, premium non Ethel, $2.25. Ethel, $2.01.
I shift at two sets of rpms, 2500 city, 3000 interstate acceleration. I don't use first except on inclines or if I'm heavy. After spending about 3 months piddling with different rpm shift points those two are optimum for max fuel efficiency. Of course the issue is I don't think the gears are...
Only ''Heavy Duty'' anything for transmissions are the coolers which you have to go aftermarket for. Then its a radiator for the transmission you shove in front or behind the standard radiator that's about half the size of the standard radiator. I call it excessive overkill for transmission...
The main reason why now, is because more and more newer automatics are hybrids. Using clutches and actual gears opposed to the old torque converter and ''bands''.
I don't care for the high rpms though at interstate speeds, 3k on the tach at 62 mph and that's when I shift to sixth for...
Pretty much most vehicles have the option for a smokers package, just my last three that includes the Libby have not had an ashtray. I think it was the late 90's it was an option for resale value.
I had considered cracking and getting a trailer wiring harness to tow the wifes car when we move to Florida, though I've pretty much reconsidered because the need for high RPM"s. I don't feel like toying down the interstate in fifth gear.
Blue RTV on the plug, never a good thing.
^ those are good, not to mention a few quick blows to the plug itself with a brass mallet might help too so not to do any damage to the plug and see if you can crack the RTV that way.
Blue headlamps used to be illegal, but they're not anymore though they're worthless in bad weather and in the city. They burn too bright on the kelvin scale, fantastic to use in the country side though on a clear night I ran arctic blue on my Focus for 4 months then swapped out because I had to...
