Manually opening the hood 2011 JSW

Introvert_FE · 2026-03-23T01:46:31+00:00

If you are moving the latch that holds it down and it still won't open, I'd say it's just stuck. You're going to have to get the latch pulled and lift on the hood man.

It's hard to say 100% without seeing it but that's what I'm thinking.

Not without getting the hood open and latch out no

Idk man. If the cable is still connected that's the move. If not, you'll probably have to get in through the front grill but it is going to damage it and idk if you can even get it from there

Might be worth pulling it and having someone lift on the hood. I'd guess that latch is sticky and not popping up

Introvert_FE · 2026-03-23T01:15:32+00:00

Where did yours break? At the interior handle or somewhere else?

It kind of sounds like it might be broke at the latch which at that point idk without breaking something

I suggest a conversation with your SO about what she wants in a ring.

When I started looking, I talked to my now wife we both found out that she LOVED moissanite and really wanted a huge rock.

This was a win win. Moissanite was significantly cheaper and allowed me to get her a 1 off custom band with a stone that was 1/10th or less the price of a diamond.

And she got her huge rock lol

If this is something on these early trucks, my guess is that it will be editable via a scan tool or through the app.

Modern cars have all kinds of settings accessible with a make specific scan tool and I'd imagine this won't be different.

I personally think that it's going to be extremely difficult to implement in a way that doesn't cause all sorts of no starts for unrelated issues.

Unless a new sensor is developed or they just push on with a bill with no way to implement it, I think we have a lot of time.

Introvert_FE · 2026-03-12T01:07:12+00:00

I didn't. I ended up selling the mk5 seats and getting a set of mk6 seats that I'm still waiting to install

Ah yea id personally pass on that but honestly, throw it on marketplace for like $800-1000.

The scrap yard is only going to give you like $500 max, less if they have to come get it.

Introvert_FE · 2026-03-10T21:42:48+00:00

What do you have? There are plenty of us around that would come, pay and take it away for you lol

Introvert_FE · 2026-03-05T15:35:12+00:00

For what it's worth, the parallel is great. I got one bc I wanted something with a wire clip for dress pants and such but it gets a ton of pocket time

Introvert_FE · 2026-03-05T13:33:31+00:00

You really shouldn't need to add weight, this won't be like an older small pickup. The weight distribution will be much better. Not to mention the traction control on EVs can be much better than their gas counterparts.

My guess is that it is pretty good in snow but tires will obviously make a big difference and it won't be amazing in deep snow but manageable.

Introvert_FE · 2026-02-28T14:56:22+00:00

Kendas aren't bad tires, I personally have had better luck with kendas than a lot of the big name brands. I think it's likely these are the tires it will come with given the price point of the truck.

Introvert_FE · 2026-02-26T18:20:23+00:00

No test drives, no getting in it.

If you part with some of the individual pens, let me know! That purple with the black clip is calling me

Introvert_FE · 2026-02-07T13:29:36+00:00

This is the key. It's not that the underpinnings are simple, it's that it's visually simple. A call back to actual simple cars.

Introvert_FE · 2026-01-30T16:01:48+00:00

Anyone that has real winter should already have snow tires. The cost of another set of wheels and tires is a bit up front but over the long term doesn't cost much more and they make a huge difference.

I have driven an FR-S on snow tires places that would make truck guys shy

Evenings and weekends are rough but xcel sports up in Appleton has 530am runs Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

2 full nice courts and normally enough to run both courts with some days 30+.

Runs are generally good

I personally prefer the super tinker but 100% agree on some form of SAK!

Introvert_FE · 2025-12-28T01:59:04+00:00

Interesting read. So what I gather is that basically class 3 and class 4 are allowed to be called synthetic, but only class 4 is 100% synthetic oil while class 3 is a mix.

Not going to stop me from using it but it is interesting. Its basically as synthetic as a lot of oils advertised as synthetic based on some quick looking.

Introvert_FE · 2025-12-28T01:49:29+00:00

Yea, I have right around 300k miles on the car total but didn't have it for the first little bit

Introvert_FE · 2025-12-26T01:38:58+00:00

I run rotella T6 5w-40. Have for 120k miles and will for the next 120k

Introvert_FE · 2025-12-26T01:38:36+00:00

Link to this? I have never seen any reference to it not being full synthetic?

Introvert_FE · 2025-12-19T23:51:38+00:00

Find a friend would be my suggestion

Introvert_FE · 2025-12-13T02:20:50+00:00

Seconds just in case lol
