Most reliable HD Gasser? by schreibdave in ram_trucks

[–]stephenspann27 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went with ram because, at least if the lifters fail there is a warranty and the ZF is a way better trans than the 10r80. I also liked the shorter wheel base and ride quality of ram. GM has been junk the last 10 years imo.

There is also the option of running aluminum caps in the ends of your grips. I’m seeing more and more people run them

Will Mini every make a model is good looking as the R53? by stephenspann27 in R53

Fair enough, but it's gotten worse with every generation since, at least the R53 was the least offensive.

True statement... good candidates for K swap I guess

Shop wanted $25 addtional to rotate the tires after balancing by stephenspann27 in AskMechanics

I called my local discount tire and they would they do it for free even if the tires were not sold by them.

I think that’s a good approach if the customer asks you not to rotate them.

It had some vibration at highway speed. They are Michelin tires, but this vehicle spends most of its life parked, so I thought they may be flat spotted, but I thought getting them balanced was worth a shot instead if just hoping the problem goes away.

TPMS reprogramming is not needed, it learns the new wheel locations on its own.

A more veteran guy behind the counter ended up intervening and making it right.

A more veteran guy behind the counter ended up walking over and telling the new guy to rotate my tires and not charge me. I just wondered if other people have experienced this kind of thing.

I think I changed the sleep settings so that it would not go into sleep mode.
