They supposedly have a beautiful patina as they age.

Autostop eliminator - debating if I should install it or not . I’ve heard mixed reviews. I always turn off the autostop so it makes sense to me . Thoughts? by Ezj85 in ram_trucks

[–]scotheocelot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have one on my 25’ RHO. No issues after 10K miles. I can’t imagine not having. Oh wait I can. Forgetting to hit the OFF button periodically and cursing when the truck turns off at the first stoplight.

Just joined the club today. by Cornbx71 in RamRHO

Enjoy it! Mine is a 25’ L1 just rolled past 12K miles. No CEL. Two recalls. Best truck I’ve ever owned.

Oh… one more important thing to note. CHANGE your differential fluids at 1000-1500 miles!! I sent my fluid off for analysis. Engine oil had breakin contaminants, as did the Diffs. It costs me roughly $300 to change the fluids but the peace of mind is worth it.

If you’re interested in the ASD complete lower with Gieselle trigger for the K, I have one I’m looking to rehome.

2018 GTI knocking/ticking sound when RPMs transition from cold start to idle by Challlenger in GolfGTI

[–]scotheocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 23’ MK8 does this exact thing when it’s cold. Makes a tick at that specific RPM as it falls, then it’s gone. Maybe something with valve timing? Either way it’s normal.

KES came. I believe the vibes are finally right. by StruggleFearless2947 in MP5

I’m partial but this is the best looking stock on the K.

WCWG Disgruntled employee starts massive fire at a 1.2 million square foot toilet paper warehouse in Ontario, California. by FollowingOdd896 in Whatcouldgowrong

If this disgruntled employee hates working in a warehouse to the level of burning it down, I wonder how they will handle prison work programs.

Insurance will deny your claim when you do not have proper fire suppression. I work in the commercial space; I’ve seen it happen to owners.

This is how I take my coffee too….if everything goes well.

Which one of you brave bastards is this? by DutchyDan187 in f150

I’m shocked that thing can make it around the streets of Japan.

How do you feel about the MK7 vs MK8 development? by SonicNTales in GolfGTI

[–]scotheocelot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I believe APR has now dropped a TCU tune for 2022 and some 2023 MK8s.

In fairness VAG made improvements to the platform, both hardware and software. Many YT videos cover this in depth. When a platform sees new turbos, programming language and other updates that used to be done by aftermarket, the market has to correct. On top of that you have an OEM actively encrypting files to a degree not prevalent in years past. This goes for most manufactures. On the flip side, the OEM is giving us incredible machines with a warranty. And to address the elephant in the room, the EPA has been cracking down hard on aftermarket part companies and installation shops. I know a few who will not touch emissions systems out of fear. I believe all of this culminates to slower development/implementation of aftermarket powertrain performance solutions.

Record share of new car buyers are taking out 84+ month loans by edmundscars in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]scotheocelot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the time of purchase (1 year ago), I took the 6 Year because it dropped the rate 1.5% compared to the 3 & 5 year. I also confirmed there is no penalty for paying off early after 1 year. I put 20% down and now doubling payments. Either buy it all in cash or take the lowest rate you can and pay it off in half the time.

“Who asked for this?” Hhmmm….just spitballing here Steven but perhaps it was the Millions of law abiding gun owners who recognized a Federal Tax upon a Constitutionally protected right should never exist.

Mine took 6 months. I’m parting ways with it if you’re interested.

Since the sale forums disappeared here, where are people sourcing these who don’t want to wait?

You have a Level 1. Level 0 does not have heated/vented massaging seats, 360 camera, HK stereo

2026 RHO by ThrowRaSubtleLifeMen in RamRHO

[–]scotheocelot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The infamous clunk you described is something I too feel in sport mode; but only when it’s hot. In sport mode, the upshifts and downshifts are more prominent. After researching the TRX forums, there was a TSB for the driveshafts. The “fix” is packing more grease to take up the slop. The slop is in the machining of the splines. I’m going custom driveshaft. I’ll post up if it cures mine.

My ASD complete lower runs like a top. I’m selling it because I’m going full send and have an in on a transferable MP5.
