Bravo!

When I saw the previous pic with the wires exposed to the back, I thought "What an incredible job!" My second thought was, "Next, he's going to hide those wires" Although sometimes perfection is the foe of the good, I am extremely impressed!

What drive mode are you in? Mine definitely fluctuates depending on drive mode and gear (seems to always be AWD in first), but definitely fluctuates. But who knows whether that display is actually showing true engagement?

The transfer case has a mainshaft driven directly from the output shaft of the trans to the rear driveshaft. A chain in the transfer case routes power to the clutch pack. All power is always routed to the rear directly with the ability to engage the clutch pack to drive the front.

Here are the facts- the drivetrain power is routed directly to the open differential rear. That's what a rear-based system is all about. A wet multiplate clutch in the transfer case engaged by the computer directs power to the front diff which is also open. Depending on drive mode and detected...

Took a trip to Florida with the family last year. Kids had a three wheel stroller, we had to disassemble it, but then, we were also hauling luggage for the 6 of us. Like any packing, you'd have to try for yourself.

That is for sure! I remember working in my dad's gravel driveway when I was about 17 putting headers and exhaust on my car. I used a normal jack, concrete blocks and some 2x4s to support the front about a foot. You had to install the headers from underneath the vehicle and tilt them to fit...

What did you use to get that mild "pebbled" look?

Umm, no. But the ST with an even-firing bank V6 and turbos connected directly to the head is a case of two turbos being better than one BASED ON the manufacturer's goals. If you're at all interested, you should be thinking about the characteristic of a V6, why the exhaust manifolds don't look...

No doubt that since he's moved to larger turbos (both turbine and compressor) he'll make more horsepower. And it's some great fabrication but two turbos are NOT better than one (except in certain cases). I'm sure this comment will draw a major amount of criticism. So, I'll open a new thread...

The fact is that the best superchargers: Eaton TVS or Whipple/Lysholm will not make more power than a properly sized turbo since the effective pressure ratios (PR) are generally less than 2.5 (about 22 psi). A centrifugal compressor can make way more boost than that. As far as compressor...

Turbos make more power and are easily tunable. Not to mention the incredible amount of work to try to mount a blower. And as far as a centrifugal blower- it's basically a turbo compressor driven by a belt and is NOT linear like a PD supercharger. There is absolutely no reason to move to a...

The salt vs sand has to do with temperature. Salt isn't effective at very low temps. I spent two years in Grand Forks, ND. One winter it stayed below 0 degrees for nearly a month. They only used sand then. Growing up in mid Michigan, which normally isn't as cold as that, they only used salt.

The math on this is so far off it's incredble. First, 5 billion barrels at $107 a barrel is about $535 billion, not $5.3 trillion. Second, USGS and Williston show about 4.3 Billion barrels that would be recoverable. https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/how-much-oil-and-gas-are-actually-bakken-formation...

They're all built in the same place. A couple of hints: 1. Multiply all MPH by .62 unless you want to feel like you're going faster. 2. Multiply temps by 1.8 and then add 32. 3. Drop "Eh" from all warnings- for example when it says "Oil Change Required, Eh?", Just ignore the "Eh". 4. If you're...

World's biggest truffle.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE AN EXTRAORDINARILY BAD IDEA.

I think that would be an extraordinarily bad idea.

Look at post #1 and #11 in this thread. I think that will give you an idea of my thoughts.

Not a fan of the diffy stiffy. But, it doesn't require any mods to mount it. As far as reliability, all of the factory ECU safeguards are there, so you shouldn't have any problems, but YMMV.
