David Reamer (@ANC_Historian) posted this photo on "X". Anchorage 1977, and I remember seeing this car back then. Appears to be a mid-60's Dart wagon.

Have you seen the article "Generative AI Envisions Ferrari Camper Vans"? It's a cool read about what a ferrari camper van might look like, combining luxury with adventure. Worth checking out!

Wife’s 2019 Nissan Rogue AWD. 50k miles so changed the front and rear diff gear oil earlier this week.

Found the carrier bearing on the passenger side CV shaft hot as I was changing the front diff, hot enough you couldn’t keep your hand in it. No noise I have noticed. On my Volvos I’d normally just replace the shaft but will be investigating replacing the bearing with this low if miles.
08 S602.5T/05 XC902.5T/02 S602.4T
08 C702.5T (sold)
05 S402.4i (RIP, timing belt failure)

Anyone following what may be a meltdown of Stellantis? There are many serious issues with the 2024 models and Indiana State Police has at least 80 new Durangos down with oil in the coolant. They bought over 500 of them. Rumors of plant closings etc. Affecting Dodge and Jeep.

Doubt they changed much but anything is possible, the 2009 rogue I fixed on had a non serviceable driveshaft. Unbolt the existing throw it in the bin and bolt up its replacement.
