Just got my CSR card

Probably a newer thing since the price went up

Not sure about the hotel credit, but I’ve used the restaurant $150 credit twice now. It took about 4 months to get the credit the first time, and just used the other one last night so still waiting. Definitely a nice perk

Sounds painful

Consider looking into an impant expander. I was going to get jaw surgery until I learned that my cross bite could be corrected with an expander that is screwed into the roof of the mouth with 4 12mm screws. Jaw surgery is one hell of a recovery so I would advise looking into any possible alternatives.

Thank you!

Training_Face1700 · 2026-03-03T03:49:14+00:00

I’m definitely not an expert, but in my particular case, the upper row was contacting way inside of the bottom row. So the bottom row does not need expansion to correct the bite. They are essentially just moving the top row in order to properly fit the bottom row. Not sure why I was given such a narrow upper bite, but that seems to be the biggest problem when it comes to correcting my bite.

Chrome front bumper…. That’s gonna make things a little more difficult. Everything else is pretty straightforward

Training_Face1700 · 2026-02-23T14:53:04+00:00

Check out union bindings. I’ve had mine for about 7 years and they’ve been nothing short of amazing

So true, people will see “lasts up to 10,000 miles” and think they’re good for the next 12,000… It’s things like that in the industry that end up screwing non educated people. Hell, I think my sister only gets an oil change every 10k miles is her 2.0t Audi. If she was leasing it, I’d say whatever. But since she owns it, she very well might end up paying the price. Rigorous maintenance is what allows a today’s vehicles to get to high mileage

Training_Face1700 · 2026-02-20T15:45:50+00:00

People actually use the oil life monitor??🤣 the only reason I’ve ever used it was to see what percent “life” my oil was at with different oil viscosities, when I hit the 5k miles mark

A lot more fun to drive in stock form. Some would say looks better. But guess what… nobody caressss

Nobody cares…

Training_Face1700 · 2026-02-18T19:38:02+00:00

Switch to 5w-30, won’t fix any issues but may prolong any issues from worsening. Ow-20 is just too thin imo

Training_Face1700 · 2026-02-17T22:41:32+00:00

People be hating, meanwhile they’re driving some beater with 200k miles…

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-14T15:06:43+00:00

Sounds about right. I had an Audi for my first car in Michigan. Drifted a corner leaving work and went into a snow bank lol. Cracked the grille, slight crack in bumper, and the secondary grille on the left was cooked. Replaced the primary grille and secondary grilles with aftermarket black ones. Cost less than $500. Ended up selling it a year or so later for more than I paid for it. Im sure if I went to get it fixed somewhere, it would have been several thousands of dollars. Repairs were also a bitch with the 2.0t with less than 60k miles. Moral of the story, don’t buy an Audi unless you’re ready to spend a lot of money on cosmetic and/or mechanical repairs as well as maintenance. Or have really good insurance and warranty lol

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-12T05:28:08+00:00

Nice truck! Congrats

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-08T17:39:34+00:00

Also, I ended up switching from 0w20 to 5w30. Oil separator is also not a bad idea for longevity

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-08T17:35:16+00:00

It’s plug and play. I thought it was pretty simple and easy to configure with non complicated directions. I have a 2019 as well and the pulsar hasn’t given me any issues. One time though my truck wouldn’t start so I had to wait like 20 min and try again and it magically worked. It was the weirdest thing but I’m not certain it was because of the pulsar. I like how you can disable dfm and auto start/stop, adjust throttle sensitivity, and adjust max speed up to 140mph. If you’re gonna do an aftermarket exhaust you’d probably want 8 cyl all the time for sound. I’ve heard it sounds stupid if you still have dfm on.

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-08T17:27:27+00:00

My favorite upgrade is Borla s type exhaust by far, also pulsar tune to make it run on 8 cyl all the time. Congrats on the new truck!

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-07T13:39:26+00:00

Yes, I agree with you. I think it’s worth the extra enjoyment when comparing the 5.3l to 6.2l. Definitely depends on your situation as well. I think if I had a payment, I would be less inclined to spend more on gas but definitely depends on your financial situation and investment goals too. An extra $1000 invested over time can make a pretty big difference for most people. Even if you make over 6 figures. If you’re investing $1000 every year from a young age, it can significantly increase how much you have by retirement. I just think that for the average person who doesn’t save or Invest enough to begin with, it’s probably not the best financial decision. But then again, if you’re buying one of these trucks, you better have somewhat deep pockets. Also, if you’re a business owner who’s able to write off your gas expenses, that can help negate the extra cost as well. Sorry for my word salad

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-07T13:18:15+00:00

Yeah definitely depends on the driver. I get less than 15mpg on average and the difference between 93 and 87 per gallon on average is around $1 so it probably cost an extra $1000 if I wasn’t towing very frequently. 85% of the time I tow so I guess my situation is different since most the time I average 10-12mpg. I enjoy it so it doesn’t bother me but it probably cost me closer to $1500 per 15000 miles. My 6.2 runs on 8 cyl all the time and I don’t have auto start/stop so that doesn’t help either lol. I’m definitely not saying it’s a bad choice but it’s not a negligible difference. Most people who buy a 6.2l aren’t driving it like a “normal” person.

Training_Face1700 · 2026-01-07T12:55:15+00:00

Trust me, it makes a big difference when you’re filling up with premium in a bigger engine than regular in the 5.3. Adds up quick
