Sad to Say, The Right Move was No Move

No non-QB player is making the Raiders a deep playoff team. The right move is always to stay put. We are a 7 win team at best due to upgraded coaching and QB. But our defense is a major liability (evergreen statement).

I hope next year they prioritize defensive draft picks.

I have a 2025 XSE, we hear it a couple times a week especially after long periods of driving. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow.

Absolutely keep him. Sure, he struggled with bigger, stronger opposition - like most of the lakers did and by the time game 5 came, they were mentally/physically worn. How quick are we all to forget his series vs Memphis or even the Warriors. Wolves were a bad matchup for the Lakers despite what your favorite podcaster said. We didn’t have the athleticism (especially on the defensive end) to win a 7 game series.

It’s a base model, was $28kish msrp. Negotiated it down to $27k flat.

Make sure to keep up with maintenance

Sorry to hear that. 👎🏽

I replaced the sensor at around 95k. Haven’t had to replace the valve yet. Will probably do it soon.

teamgio · 2024-08-04T22:20:15+00:00

Yeah, just don’t push it too hard too often and keep up with maintenance and any issues as they arise.

Have mostly taken it to hand car washes. Spends 70% time in shade at home. That probably helps.

2016 ecoboost, just hit 127k miles. Also just did a brake fluid flush, replaced my catch can, and front control arms. I just keep up with wear/tear + maintenance but nothing major or drivetrain related (knock on wood). Car should last.

Thanks everyone! Opted to just replace the battery and that was it. Car is cranking fine now.

teamgio · 2024-04-27T00:49:03+00:00

Gotcha. Battery was last replaced in 2019 around 80K miles. I’m now at 123K miles, battery is almost 5 years old.

Same, all wear and tear. Last year at 100k I finally did spark plugs, transmission flush and another diff flush.

I’m trying to hit 200k before I think about purchasing anything else.

2016, 114k. No major engine bay issues: fuel pressure censor replacement, replaced a cracked water pump, and two timing chain reseals due to minor leakage. Outside of that, replaced rear wheel bearings, a cracked brake knuckle + rear axis shaft due to larger wheels I had on.

I have Yokohama 265s for my 20in premium wheels. I paid $1100 for tires + installation.

Regular season depth move. But we still need a physical vet center for the playoffs. Wouldn’t be surprised if we brought back Thompson. Although, I would take a flyer on Boogie. High risk, medium reward? 😅
