As a dirt and street rider I go through about 2 tires a month, dirt bike tires need to be soft rubber for rocky condiiton to grab well. They wear fast but can be bought cheap in off brands. Higher price brands can be somewhat soft and still wear well. Street tires have varying compounds, softer...
I did not read the whole painful thread but this might help someone-

New to me some months back, showing 85K on clock with unkown maint history although she is clean as a whistle and appeared well cared for. Decided to change F n R diff fluids. Pulled plug on front and it came out honey clean. BTW old trick learned from bikes which often share Gear, Clutch and...
My light works on older model but to prevent having to mess wih switch I mounted a commonly available stick on LED light. 5 dollar no holler....
Kind of Jenky but it works fine-
I have had this happen to my F250 SD Diesel. Very expensive and time-consuming repair. There are sprays and such but I found the high pitch rodent repeller to flat out work. It emits a tone that will drive them away. I live in dog heaven for squirrels. These types of alarms will cause a squirrel...
52, right you are without muddying the waters I am trying to get some sort of DRL back with my LED install. My current thought is to drive the Fog Lights (lower bumper light) with a relay fired by the wire that is hot in DRL mode. If I am thinking correclty this will give me DRL (acting as Fog...

Are the Fog Lights supposed to come on with the DRL when the stalk switch is set to the icon for fog lights?
My high beams come on as the DRL at low intensity (1) but the fog lights do not. Is this normal? My fog lights do come on when with low beams in headlight on mode and swtich...
How much weight and what type and terrain are you towing? Speeds? Enclosed cargo trailer around town is way different than on the highway with wind resistance.
I spose I could drain what I can from the radiator and see what the measured amount is. Looks like I would like to be able to drain half the stated system capacity of 4 quarts or so. My plan is to flush the sytem with tap water from the hose at an idle with the T-stat out running a garden hose...
Wanting to do a coolant change.
Location of Block Drain plug and can I reach it?
Other plan-
Remove thermostat and leave radiator drain open while idleing the vehicle with garden hose in. Let it drain and fill with distilled water and drain 4 or 5 times. this will leave it with mostly nothing...
I did not have the heart to read this whole thead but share the frustration with the "stick creep". If you have a good eye you can read it on the stick when hot. Not a problem for me but the GF has difficulty with a hot stick, OK leave it at that. I think what is going on is that the stick gets...
Perhaps (no wait,ummh yes, no) I am confused. I have not ACTUALLY pulled my bulbs out but do I have HID's in a 2014 Grand Touring? I thought I just had a standard 9035 and H11 halogen bulb? If I do have HID then what is a good replacement option for them that would give a little brighter light...
Rats, good catch I will update my sig. It is a 14 Grand Touring. I am trying to figure out what will produce the most downrange light. Beam cutoff is key as you do not want to blind oncoming drivers. What good are bright lights if the oncoming driver is blinded and in your lane?
As I said my USA...
Is there a thread somewhere on LED headlight upgrades?
Rather than buying various brands of LED headlights has someone already determined which brand is a good match? I am wanting ones to replace all the headlights. Is this simply plug and play or is there conversion "Stuff" that is needed? My...
Drivers Side only lumbar heat works, Passenger nothing.
Passenger side could be switch, Drivers side suspect part of element burned out or unplugged. You are right, just need to dig into it a bit. Just trying to form a game plan ahead of time.
Passenger seat inop and driver seat only lumbar heat. I have not dug into it but I suspect the elements in the seat itself is bad. When I test drove the car both seats worked but on the way home they quit, so much for my luck!
Questions-
Source to purchase the heating elements to place into...
2002 Protege ES with some bad Front and Rear pass side door damage, chalk that one up to experience. Long story short what should I look for when shopping for replacement doors? What years fit thru what years? Anyone know where to buy aftermarket doors? I am not having any luck finding these...
