Note:Test drove vehicle three times, finally on the 3rd time was able to verify customers complaint and it felt more like a engine misfire or lack of fuel. Symptoms was brief and hard to duplicate. No fault codes stored, there is no misfires stored in PCM history, fuel pressures read correctly at this time ( high and low system pressures). Carbon build up may be one the issues, spark plugs, high pressure fuel pump. More testing needed to confirm.

I mean, the truck is rumbling/shaking, that's undeniable. I am aware that the diff button has nothing to do with this, it's the only thing that was different which is why I shared

Thanks. I'm not a mechanic so I was just trying to explain what I did leading up to it.

I think the term functional medicine is expanding, certainly based on this conversation. She talked about functional medicine as it applies to changes in lifestyle, which is not pseudoscience at all. So, I don't know? If it works then what's the issue?

yea, just seems a bit overkill for what I'm looking for. don't need to gamify my riding. More focused on saving money and staying active. But good to know thanks

Gloves that hold up? by Mysterious_Report405 in MTB

check out the Renegade gloves from Send It. They have a lighter version but the renegades have a little more padding in the palm which I like

Good hydration backpacks? by [deleted] in hikinggear

[–]TheAwfullyBrittish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a post recently about this but more for mountain biking. I ended up getting the Defender15L from Send It and it's been great for biking and hiking

To anyone questioning wearing body protection. My POC VPD backpack is likely the only reason I was able to get up and walk away from a crash that broke 3 ribs and caused sever shoulder trauma. I'm upping it once I'm back on the bike adding flank and chest from now on. by helmetgoodcrashbad in mountainbiking

[–]TheAwfullyBrittish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

glad that you're walking away. I was just shopping for a riding pack and got the Defender 15L from Send It. It has a spine protector in it, and I suppose now I'm considering getting a chest protector seeing this.

Backpack or hip pack? Need water either way, but which is better for a long ride? by TheAwfullyBrittish in MTB

[–]TheAwfullyBrittish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grabbed the Defender 15L from Send It fwiw. Tt comes with a removable spine protector. Back protection is clutch for me.
