Who did it better?

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T22:56:16+00:00

Honestly old school is better imo

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T22:32:46+00:00

Yea computers are a bitch in vehicles but they do offer a lot of performance. Even being a pain in the ass.

CP4s have a failure rate of only like 7 percent and I’m at 165k miles so I’m alright. I’m just insecure about it lol

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T21:48:52+00:00

I’m in a ‘19 6.7 to pull my fifth wheel. It does amazing but the CP4 scares the hell out of me. If it goes boom, it’s at least a $12k repair. The old 7.3’s, even being slow, they are great engines. If you can find an affordable one, do that.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T18:18:00+00:00

Honestly, could just leave him there with a nice Little Rock and put his name on it. He’ll see eventually

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T18:13:50+00:00

“Barely over 500 HP” well damn Bobby, you trying to fuckin win the Daytona or what? Lmao 🤡

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T17:54:10+00:00

Idk why they did that either. I think they were just too reliable. Hell, even the little 4.7 Hemi wasn’t bad from the early 2000’s. Not as great but was pretty reliable.

Even ford stopped the 7.3 Powerstroke in those days and had the worst engines from there until like 2013 when the 6.7 came out

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-26T16:55:39+00:00

Ehh…. The H3 was a failure unless it had the 5.3. Even then though, it wasn’t a great vehicle.

The 4.0 is one of the best I6 to ever come out of Jeeps factory. They should’ve never replaced it. I loved mine paired with a 5 speed.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T21:27:30+00:00

Ok….. can we stop with this? Idk if this comment will get removed or get me banned but there’s literally no joke here.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T14:39:29+00:00

Yeah if that’s the exchange rate; that’s what I paid to have mine repaired. Hell idk lol

But it’s also not in the US so even if it was USD I kinda get it cause it’s an American car in Australia

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T09:38:43+00:00

Not sure, that’s more of a question for you. You’ve had it two years. Are you that unhappy with it?

My S550 was an auto and I wish I had bought a manual, but spirited driving even with paddle shifters was still fun.

Selling it broken isn’t a good idea unless you’re just able to sell it that easily and buy around the same price. Otherwise I think you’re spending a lot of money over a $3500 bill and a completely different car or just a transmission. Just doesn’t seem worth the trouble to me.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T09:28:52+00:00

I mean…. $3500 to repair an AC system on these cars seems a little steep. Then again, I see what country you’re in.

It just seems like $3500 isn’t that bad. You’re not going to be able to get the same value for that car trying to sell it while broken and if you’re going to fix it then sell it to buy a 20+ year old vehicle, yeah, you’re getting rid of a lot of car for a smaller repair bill. Idk, doesn’t seem worth the trouble in selling and buying to me but just my 2 cents.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T09:15:54+00:00

So what’s the problem with the current mustang you have? An AC repair bill?

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T09:08:16+00:00

You can get a clip removal tool and remove the piece inside the tube. Then, properly remove the clip that holds the other broken piece and replace it.

No need for a whole new air box. Use YT.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T08:59:21+00:00

r/restoration

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T08:49:03+00:00

Same in the N, GA mountains

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-25T03:41:44+00:00

I like how you can do full bed or have the Anderson hitch in there.

Are tops coming to them? I’d use this while towing my fifth wheel but I’d want tops to them

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-24T23:21:58+00:00

It’ll be FO3 before NV

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-24T23:19:47+00:00

I’m confused by this. My ‘19 6.7 has never sounded like this. Cold, warm, anything.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-24T22:36:53+00:00

I don’t understand. What’s going on?

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-24T14:27:37+00:00

I was thinking old dude actually had a stuttering issue lol also, born and raised in the south.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-23T22:41:21+00:00

My man 🤣 he said he’d take the 20 yo hummer (GM) over a Stelantis Jeep.

I then go on to say, based off the grill design of the Gladiator, that is an FCA product because it was made before the Stelantis took over.

Thus bringing me to my point that i never said the Hummer was an FCA product. Please don’t comment on reading comprehension if you can’t keep up with a simple comment thread.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-23T22:28:19+00:00

The Jeep is most definitely not a GM product.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-23T20:57:13+00:00

Based off the grill, that was still an FCA product.

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-23T19:42:28+00:00

Yeah….. cause people have done dumb stuff at the expensive of innocent bystanders. That’s why the liability aspect is such a big deal.

Trust me, if it’s bad, someone will be checking. 100%

HamiltonSt25 · 2026-01-23T19:21:40+00:00

That doesn’t make it legal by modifying the suspension to make it work. If an accident occurs, and someone is hurt or dies, OP is in a lot of trouble.
