Mr. Wiggles posted:A manual would really be preferable, especially since we're already in the mountains and it's nicer to not roast your brakes over Donner. We'll see how this one goes, though. I'm especially intrigued by the "microwave" and "commode" and "bed" options for band touring. I'll update if we buy it. Let me know if you'd rather have a Ford Explorer that needs an intake gasket done (leaks a bit when pushing uphill below 20F) which can now actually accelerate uphill for about half that. I don't think I'd want to take the 4.0 up Donner though. Taking it to Davis is enough of a workout. Seats are loving awesome, and it almost has a SID since its an Eddie.

Safety Dance posted:You can probably find a local place that specializes in trailer hitch installation that'll do a better job for less money. Just call your local camper/trailer reseller and see who they use (if not in shop)? They're certain to be cheaper than the dealership, and might also be able to cut you a deal if they do bulk purchasing.

Never used TUD; everyone I know of has had good luck with Dr. Colorchip.

Geoj posted:Bought a new Interstate battery for my (2002 Black Zetec MTX) Focus at Costco and the terminals are loose as poo poo...to the point of misfiring bad once I got on the highway this morning. Managed to finally track down a set of terminal shims at AAP and even with those in place I'm still getting random misfires if I give the car more than 50% throttle. First, how stable is the wiring to the terminals? If you live in corrosion country (tm), make sure you check where the neg ground attaches to the chassis. A really quick hack to see if this is what's going on would be to ground your battery to a nice shiny bit of the engine with jumper cables, and give it a good punch. Obviously, this isn't ideal, but it's pretty telling where the problem lies. Javid posted:My car has piddled oil for the entire decade I've owned it, despite changing every seal and gasket that's accessible without pulling the engine out. A dry spot on the driveway means I'm down at least one vehicle. My 2000 9-5 Aero is the biggest leaking bastard I've owned (after my godawful Ford 4.0 pushrod), but I still lack maybe a cup of oil after 5,000+ miles correcting for OCD refills.

Geoj posted:Only problem here is it seems to start and idle just fine, it only really exhibits the symptoms at higher speeds (say, above 40 MPH.) It was fine on surface streets until I turned onto a 50 MPH highway and gave it gas to accelerate, then it starting misfiring. With the shims in place it accelerates more or less smoothly with occasional/random dips in power. Do you have a way to track your alt's power at the same time?

Enourmo posted:General PSA: this does not apply for anyone reading this who drives a GM vehicle with dexcool. Change it regularly, and probably go ahead and flush it all the way out with distilled water and replace with standard green antifreeze. This. Dexcool turns into PURE CAR ACID if ignored long enough. We're talking the face melting poo poo for your car (even though it is generally a sludge). Do a complete flush and replace with green, or replace it every few months- either way, do it.

dwarf74 posted:Sounds real reasonable. How about if this is Baby's First Car Repair? Just take off each part one at a time, and replace with it with the new unit until you recognize how the cap fits and know your firing pattern. Pay attention to any super short or long spark plug cables and try best to match them up accordingly.
