    Investments

    ^^This. Wall Street Journal has done several experiments where blindfolded humans threw darts at a board to randomly pick a stock portfolio, and more often than not they outperformed the portfolios picked by so called "experts". Vanguard S&P 500 index fund (symbol: VOO) is a good one in my...

    President

    Of all the Hollywood celebrities who swore they would move to Canada if Trump won, I wonder who is leaving first? I'd even be happy to give any one of them a ride myself, but I'd be willing to bet not one of them is going anywhere.

    Question: DD replacement vehicle for VW TDI Buyback

    I am in the same boat have a 2015 Passat TDI. I really like the car and have averaged 40-45 mpg mixed driving with it. The buyback offer is too good to pass up, plus I do miss having a truck. What is everyone's opinion on the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel? I'm between that and a Colorado Diesel. It...

    Busted by police for deleting

    Couldn't agree more:thumb:. These government bureaucracies are completely out of control, and their level of incompetence is beyond embarrassing.

    Problem with tuning 5 Speed Allison TCM

    Thank you very much this worked like a charm. I have not flashed the truck yet but can open the TCM file and edit no problem.

    Problem with tuning 5 Speed Allison TCM

    It's been a while since I've messed around with EFI since I sold my truck. I am trying to edit a transmission tune for one of my friends with a 2001 LB7, with the 5 speed allison. When I read the current tuning file from the TCM with EFI version V8 it saves the file as a .ctz file. I open it...

    VW TDi and EPA oops

    I just bought a 2015 Passat TDI a few months ago and have been nothing but impressed so far. I could care less about this whole fiasco really. My only worry is that since I am still under warranty and VW still owes me a couple services at 20k and 30k miles, I imagine that the next time I visit...

    2016 Colorado diesel

    I'm very excited about this myself. I'll be in the market for a new DD this year and am sold on either the 2016 Colorado Diesel or a 2015 Ram EcoDiesel. I think the Rams are ugly personally, but my current DD is in rough shape and if it doesn't last me through the spring/summer my mind may be...

    2015 run away

    Just to clarify, I meant the CO2 kind. I don't know if the powder kind would work. I'd prefer to give the intake a spray versus having my hands/face in the engine bay trying to choke out the intake.

    2015 run away

    Another reason to keep a small fire extinguisher onboard your truck. Spray that into the intake and it will shut her right down.

    Winter storage advice

    I just add some fuel additive to my tank, but I do start it about once a week and let it idle for an hour or so. I'm not sure if that helps or not but that's what I've always done. I do drive the truck a few times each winter though. Probably no more than 5.

    Autel maxisys scan tool

    Did you take the balance rates in gear or in neutral? Either way -1.1 is well within the GM spec.

    Which CP3 for the LML

    I did not know Bosch had made changes. I'd be interested to see this as well.
