I am in debate mode as to what thule cargo box I want.
I am deciding between the Ascent 1100 or 668ES Frontier. It will be going onto my stock base rack on my 02 P5.
Anyone out in internot-webs lands have photos of these cargo boxes? Complaints? Awesomenesses?
As the title says, I am getting a squealing noise from under the hood every time I start my P5 these days.
Background info:
I'm in WI with mid 30s temps and higher relative humidity
Only squealing when the HVAC system is running (Air conditioning or no air conditioning running)

So I got a Thule 480R foot pack and aero bars with the 1302 kit. I measured the bar length between the two feet which was given to be 38 1/4. But, when I have the feet at this length, its way to short.

Well, the ad is for 215/50/17s. I don't think these will fit a P5 and if they did they would be a horrible choice.
Check out Tire rack. They might be the absolute cheapest, but they have the best information and package deals.
If you were going to go with the stock wheel set-up, you would want a thinner tire to cut through the snow better or the stock size.
BUT...

If you could find Mobil One, I would really recommend it. I used it and it made a world of difference.
I like you changed your mind about doing it yourself. All you need is a 23mm (I think i remember) socket and a funnel with a long tube attached.
Drain.
Put 1.9 qts in
Done.
Well, first off, its not a hard job at all to do. But, if you want to yourself, $70 sounds reasonable for a dealership. I used Mobil One synthetic transmission fluid and it made a world of difference. Other great brands are redline and royal purple.
