Re: Car Buying Maximalism

IMHO taxes should be absolutely linked to vehicle weight, without moronic congressional loopholes to help GM, Ford, and Ram (Stellantis), which were engineered by their lobbyists (read: the usual, normalized practice of bribing congress members). "But Matt, surely you can't be saying there are ...

Re: Lesson learned (Ignition Coil Purchase)

Stick to Bosch.
Or get the used Genuine coils from junk yard ($10/ea in my area). Test one by one (label them as "checked").
This way you know the used coil is ready to be used, if necessary.

Re: Does anyone repair ECC modules?

The Kat ran great except when I ran her out of fuel, twice. Dumm...

Re: After -10, you just die faster

A friend can’t start his new diesel VW wagon. Killed a battery trying. Fuel gelled up? Last diesel anything I’ve touched was a Peugeot 504 wagon with glow plugs. I have an old magnetic block heater that grabs anything steel, took that over. It’s heating against a fuel distribution cylinder and seems...

Re: Us air washed their plane 15 years ago

The wiki and other reports tell me both engines were severely damaged by Canadian Geese and would not be able to restart. The checklist was 3 pages long and they couldn’t get through it.
