That oil pan is pretty impressive especially once you pull off that cheesy plastic pan. You’re gonna love the improvements! Make sure you follow the bedding instructions on the front brakes then let us know what you think about the upgrades. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Two bolts in the handle come out. Behind the cover. Then pull out the bottom and push up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice. For once the law does something right. I have darker than legal tint on front windows. I also have Police Officers in the family. I’ve never received a tint citation but when I get pulled over both driver side windows are down, license and reg in my hands on the steering wheel, and the...

Never liked extended warranties. Sold service contracts for a while and they mostly made money. I bought two extended warranties, one on a 2017 GMC 2500HD Denali and one on my ST. Between emissions issues and def fluid issues along with $1000 power heated folding mirrors, heated seats, and a...

Both looking good up there^^ Winter tires are amazing for those that have never used them. Performance on hardpack and ice is hard to believe. I still remember the first set of Blizzaks I put on my front wheel drive Cavalier Z24. Drove a full season in ski country before upgrading to 4wd. Never...

Steeda subframe bushing kits help with no downside imo. I agree with UNBROKEN on mounting the diff too solidly. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Never. Pulled many out of ditches as well. Actually traded in a 5 year old 2500hd Denali diesel with 130k miles almost straight up for my ST. Back when you couldn’t get new diesel towing trucks and the used market was crazy. Probably the only time I ever market timed[emoji23] Sent from my...

A lot depends on where you are and how much snow you get. I’m in Midwest with some snow but rarely more than a few inches. I run Pilot Sport AllSeason. Never really had an issue other than ice. When living in Vermont and New Hampshire I had a separate set of wheels and Blizzaks for winter time...

Correct. You are right, it is semantics. Once a wheel slips though, an open diff will try to direct all torque to the slipping wheel. Then the active braking takes over. Regardless of how it’s done and what it’s called, I feel it is a remarkably stable vehicle in slippery conditions. Either...

Impossible on our parts. Best case is one front and one rear. The Timberline has a locking rear differential so you get 3wheel drive in a timberline. A mentioned above, open diffs front and rear so the drive wheel is the easiest to turn or both when nothing is slipping. Once one side slips it...

How can you call it AWD when there are never more than two wheels driving the car at any given time? Not poking fun or anything g, honest question. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did, it worked well although it felt like I had a dead gas pedal[emoji23]. Turned traction control off. For an experienced snow driver it works better off than on in my experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I will say this about it. While it is not AWD, it handles pretty damn good in the snow. Just got back from a trip to northern New England. It was snowing the two days I was there with lots of packed snow and sand on the mountain roads. I was impressed with the ST in the snow with the Pilot Sport...

If you are driving on the highway you are essentially in one wheel drive as only one rear wheel is being driven and the front is disengaged. If slip is detected, the front differential is engaged but only one wheel in front and one wheel in back. From there it only engages the other wheel on the...

It’s very low risk to not open a bleeder while compressing the piston if you keep up with maintenance. If you never flush your brake fluid in forever like a former GF I had then it can cost you. Doing a brake job on her old VW cost me almost a grand for a new ABS valve assembly after pushing mud...

To an old school guy like me, I describe it more as computer controlled 4wd, and not the traditional old school 4wd. To me, an awd is full time viscous coupling, no clutch, awd. Like the original Audi Quattro drive which is outstanding. No interaction required, person or computer, as it...

I’d rather have a knowledgeable shop rebuild mine. Had a customer of my former business did the remans for a big 3 automaker. While they had a great process for high volume, they were far from one guy building your transmission. I’d rather have one guy doing it versus 30 guys doing their step...

No. It will push old fluid back into the system potentially clogging abs valves. Not 100% likely to screw something up but why take the chance. Also good to open the bleeder screws every so often so they don’t rust and seize up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And there you go confirming everything I said with an insult to boot! Good luck in life, I hope people are as nice to you as you are to them, or not. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
