    Wife's new Cruze 2.0 TD

    Or you could just buy it because you want to? Why buy an Escalade? Its just a glorified tahoe/suburban? Because thats why

    Wife's new Cruze 2.0 TD

    If you look at VW's the Diesel's get 2-4k more usually for the same car especially if it has a manual. Right now in my area you still cannot buy an MKIV or newer straight body, clean, manual TDI for much under 6k even if it has 250k on it. I think the difference is a couple thousand miles...

    Show off your new tools!!!

    I love cordless ratchets. Have a 1/4 and 3/8 M12 and sold my air ones the other day. Never used them anyways because the hose was a PITA. Traded my 17" green locking flex 88 for a 24" of the same and traded my 24" breaker bar for the 30" orange.

    DEF costs will be really low. In almost 100k on our 2011 LML we've spent less than $200. Wal mart price would be around $500 though id guess. I don't know how much DEF the Cruze is using but I would think you would spend less than $300 in 100k. Oil changes are a wash as is the rest of the...

    There isn't one, you buy the diesel because you want the diesel. With the diesel price of fuel it offsets the economy UNLESS you spend a lot of time on the highway. If you want economy in stop and go, get a hybrid thats where they shine. The numbers breakdown like this. Average fuel...

    98mph, no further? :(

    Are you implying Pat is on the same level as Greg? Pat will be the face of high speed diesel pickups on tires....mainstream. High speed duramax tire "Program", mainstream. Time to start a fan page.

    peer pressure, come play with the cool kids. I came to the realization its my wifes car and she puts on over 100 miles a day so she needs mileage. The mods don't necessarily hurt mileage, but her foot is a bit heavy so give her more torque and she'll use it and then blame me for why it gets...

    You have a big boy mustang though. Maybe on your salt flats, come drive on frost heaved midwest roads. You loose your kidneys at 50mph. Haha. The tires on 2500Hds and such are rated lower than 120mph usually.

    Yeah they get a little shakey at high speed not to mention they can't corner or stop. It's a lot more fun going fast in a car. Feels like your doing 65 when your at 100 in my wife's TDI and it's still got two more gears. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk

    Wife's new Cruze 2.0 TD

    My wife still has plenty of people tell her she's putting the wrong fuel in and her car has a massive decal down the side that says "TDI Cup Edition". I understand people don't know what TDI means but they have been in the states long enough that you would think the majority would get it. Her...

    Fireball+Taco Johns, she looks good and has an iron stomach. Hows the torque on those compared with the newer TDI's? I see its rated peak torque is at 2600RPM and the TDI is 1700. Now that I deleted everything and tuned my wifes it definatley is awake and going at 1700 but before I thought it...

    I could be wrong but perhaps you are the one that needs to get over something that happened 8 years ago when diesel performance was "chips"? You seem to ride on your own coattails more than anyone. I could care less how accomplished anyone is when they feel as self important to humanity as...

    Broken Crank

    Working on an 09 truck with broken crank. Got a good used crank and sent it along with the block to the machine shop to be cleaned, flux'd and check for straightness of the crank and align bore of the block. The truck is stock other than having stuff deleted and a small tow tune. Have a...

    Shiny PYO's

    No problem. I am guessing you are referring to your semi? Best solution for tanks is Paint. If I ever get anywhere with my old KW show truck that will be my solution. For most truck stuff you can get good results with a blue treated wheel/emery, yellow starched wheel/tripoli, untreated...
