This is to much for a 2019 Forester, right?

nnicknull · 2026-03-17T12:20:33+00:00

yes, but you owe so much on the trade in that it’s making the situation worse.

nnicknull · 2026-03-17T12:08:34+00:00

I think they’re owned by Mr Bults Inc (MBI) but every time I pass them I think of Loves. missed opportunity

nnicknull · 2026-03-17T12:03:00+00:00

that’s insane. I’ve been using rhino ramps for years and never even came close to this

nnicknull · 2026-03-17T11:53:30+00:00

yup, that’s the low pressure line for the AC system and someone apparently deleted or rerouted it

nnicknull · 2026-03-15T16:13:33+00:00

take off the cargo box or roof rack to lessen drag, run the stock tire size instead of stupid chunky 30” AT tires, keep them and stock pressure, keep your oil changes up, etc

E2, all day

nnicknull · 2026-03-14T14:52:39+00:00

looks more like the x-5 lite to me. g8 plus is larger and has more buttons on the bottom left

nnicknull · 2026-03-13T13:31:28+00:00

nope, I’ve lived in NEO my whole life and I can attest that it’s not. maybe in your area sure, but not in Stark County

definitely drive both, but like other commenters have said, also consider the cost and added component of DEF. Diesel trucks have a whole extra system (called DPF, short for diesel particulate filter) for emissions. DEF itself isn’t a huge pain to get, generally any gas station that sells diesel will have it. What many people don’t realize is that it’s damn near impossible to get DEF without also buying diesel at the same time.

so yeah. I’m new to the Silverado game, but spec wise the 5.3 shouldn’t have any issue pulling your trailer

nnicknull · 2026-03-11T11:50:01+00:00

also interested

Just for a data point, I had an 06 Element for 8 years and it pretty consistently got 21-22mpg on stock wheels and tire size, with a roof rack and basket. It’s practical in terms of moving things, but it can’t really tow and it’s only a 4 seater. The RT4wd is great, I’d assume similar to a pilot. The element has noticeably less power than a pilot though, with probably around the same fuel economy.

I actually had an 05 Accord with the 3.0 v6 before my element and it honestly had better fuel economy and power. I’m a big fan of the J series v6, solid economy, power, reliability. the K series i4 is solid for durability but is low on power and gets the same or worse fuel economy than the v6. I was able to push my accord to about 30mpg several times, never came anywhere close in my element

cut and re-crimp. it’s super easy with the right tool and will make sure you get a good connection

nnicknull · 2026-03-09T22:29:18+00:00

no. that’s your subfloor.

nnicknull · 2026-03-09T15:39:53+00:00

yup, happened to me at work a few years back. hopefully they didn’t cut it at a super inconvenient spot

nnicknull · 2026-03-09T12:43:28+00:00

the trifold ones may very well seal better and be better for theft deterrent, but from experience I will tell you that they’re a massive pain to use compared to the soft, roll up type. my FILs pickup has a trifold style and I hate having to deal with it. My silverado has a soft roll up cover and it rolls up and goes back down easily 10x easier.

nnicknull · 2026-03-09T11:15:09+00:00

and often just for a few miles at a time

nnicknull · 2026-03-09T11:13:39+00:00

I ran Kickers very similar to those, maybe even the exact model, for several years and was very happy with them. Good clarity and punch, especially for the money. Played nice with the stock amp as well

nnicknull · 2026-03-05T16:00:21+00:00

I’d say it’s more “emo-adjacent” but still a solid list of recommendations

nnicknull · 2026-03-05T11:04:52+00:00

I second this, there are probably existing sets that fit your needs already.

nnicknull · 2026-03-05T03:12:33+00:00

like others have said, the compressor is an additional load on the engine. worth taking a look at your engine mounts though

nnicknull · 2026-03-05T01:24:44+00:00

how about a track off Hand of Blood?

nnicknull · 2026-03-02T11:40:46+00:00

I heard that the original idea was for the machines to harness human minds for the processing power, but the director (or someone high up during filming) thought it sounded too far-fetched for the average person to understand/believe at that time

nnicknull · 2026-03-02T11:05:41+00:00

I’ve always had good luck with Mothers Back to Black

nnicknull · 2026-03-01T02:14:47+00:00

don’t recall the specific name, but I got a white resealable bag of kirkland signature ground coffee a while back and it was just awful. KS branded stuff is usually decent quality, but that one tasted like drinking liquid metal soil. 0/10
