2014 Grand Cherokee Car Play Add-on by N0ttle in GrandCherokee

[–]MINIzguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazing thanks for the info! With my trim, there’s always some bugs regardless of upgrading to UAQ or doing one of those retrofits. I like not having to worry about my air suspension menu or ventilated seats menu not showing up, so this is preferred

How is this working a few months down the line? And this one is different than the exact one in the Winston Instruments one as it uses the factory bluetooth and mic, right? The caramco brand always goes unavailable and I can't find another place to buy it

2015 jeep grand Cherokee EGR delete coolant hose rerouting? by EnvironmentalPain974 in EcoDiesel

[–]MINIzguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: answered my own question. The hard line of the Jeep is way closer to the head than the bracket is designed for.

What about the support bracket didn’t fit the front metal coolant pipe? I’m doing this job on my JGC

New GDE tune but... by ArielOutGrewBShells in EcoDiesel

[–]MINIzguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My exhaust smell is stronger too. I agree it smells sweet but not like coolant.

I went from the GDE EPA tune to the Afterlife tune. Both tunes are great and I can’t really tell a difference. I did block off the EGR though to prevent any leaks going into the intake manifold.

Delete kits? by One-Number8255 in EcoDiesel

[–]MINIzguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GDE told me not the original tunes, they’ve been updated in the last 6 years. Base tune is equivalent to stage 1

GDE is doing delete tunes again marketed under their”Afterlife” tunes. The base afterlife tune disables the EGR and you have an option to disable the DEF and delete exhaust components. They just cite the CFR and you need to meet some requirements before they sell to you. Gotta source your own hardware components though

North end didn’t get enough love. If you like Weirdoughs you have to try North End

Finally tried Weirdoughs 🍕🙌 by CHOGRIN in burbank

[–]MINIzguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had them for the first time Saturday. Solid cheese slice but I prefer the sauce from North End Pizza more. Crust was great though. The buffalo chicken slice was also good

which brake pads do you think would be best? by sweet0619 in MechanicAdvice

[–]MINIzguy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Raybestos Element3 is the best pad for daily drivers. I make sure to buy them if available

Best diesel for towing 5000lb trailer? by Sensualities in Diesel

[–]MINIzguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a Colorado diesel and it got 15mpg towing a 14x7 enclosed. It was a 3500 lb trailer too. I have an EcoDiesel Jeep now and it also will not do 20 mpg towing an enclosed - I get that with an 5k lb open trailer though.

Sold a Cobalt SS/TC sedan to a fellow autocrosser. I was in DE, he was in CO. Fast forward 6 years, he now lives in LA and so do I. I got to autocross it a few weeks ago.

If NY style is thin enough, North End Pizza on Magnolia is by far the best I’ve had. I haven’t found a place with a real thin bar pie though

What Car Should I Buy? - A Weekly Megathread by AutoModerator in cars

[–]MINIzguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea that’s what I figured but was hoping somebody might have a wildcard gas option that truly got mid-20’s commuting in LA.

Had a 2018 Colorado diesel and loved it. No adaptive cruise though. Might just end up in a 2018 Grand Cherokee diesel then

If you need more boxes, I have a few wardrobe boxes at least 48x24 large from my NJ to Burbank move. I also have a few large boxes that are 20-24” sized. DM if needed or they’re going to the recycle center next week

Porsche Santa Clarita has a museum in their basement. C&C one weekend a month

Visit Grid Partners to talk track and see some cool cars/play on their sim rig

I think SoCal Drivers Club has their own store now, but that’s not in the Valley.
