If looking at diesels, the 68RFE is actually decent on 2013 and newer when kept stock, this includes stock tire sizes. This transmission is very sensitive to changes in tire sizes. The Aisin AS69RC in the 3500(including SRW which is a good alternative to the 2500) is as bullet proof as they come.

Seems like a pretty basic recall. Obviously the worst case scenario of a lockup while driving is a big deal, and the volume of trucks is quite large, but I’d say you are probably still safe going with a Cheby (and insuring that the recall service was performed if it applies to the vehicle you are looking at).

Is it down to 6 million already? I thought JD said 30 million. Trump’s not even in office yet and he’s gotten rid of 24 million criminals and thugs!  Amazing!

Pro tip from someone who about lives on airplanes at times, and has done it for nearly 30 years. Don’t check bags - they inevitably have a more “interesting” trip than you do, even when they do arrive at the same destination at the same time. Something I learned early on in my travelling career. Those old commercials…

Not clicking on that video

You assume there will still be Dodge dealers in 10 years.

Crazy ..... He will make anywhere from $510k to $900k from the 175 million views. 

This is above and beyond,  although the wag in me says the V12 should be a Detroit Diesel 12V-71

Fun story.  A couple years ago, we were shipping stuff from Germany and Delta lost the shipment.   Said they looked everywhere and couldn’t find it.   Just make a claim.  So we started a claim.  $15 million of equipment for a certain box.   Delta magically found the box within an hour.

Bradley, you clearly didn’t engage critical thinking when you started writing this.  A quick glance of the video shows the two poles are about 12-15 feet apart and the “1 duct tape”, “10 duct tape”, etc are clearly referring to individual layers of tape, not entire rolls.  Each layer would probably be around 20 linear…

Stupid YouTuber does something stupid. News at 11.

Are we sure about those numbers? You’d have to apply 17 rolls of duct tape per minute for 24 hours straight to reach 25k rolls. Allow me to reserve judgement.

I don’t think it was 1 roll or 25k rolls. If you look at the first try, it’s just one row stretched across which would be like 1/40th of a roll. I think it’s the number of times they went across, not the number of rolls.

“When people think of spaceflight’s Apollo era, it’s either a bygone period of relentless exploration or it was completely faked.”

well they tried nothing and were all out of ideas...

Single handedly stole 9 cars? Does this guy run marathons? He’d have to steal the car, drive it miles down the street, then run back and repeat. Would put in a minimum of 10-15 miles on the sneakers.  Meanwhile, no alarm is ringing at the dealership?  No one notices a man jogging back and forth 9 different times at…

I predict by Q2 we’ll have an expose on how “lost bag” sometimes means “your bag was destroyed so we’re going to pretend we can’t find it”. A friend of mine who works at an airport I will not name in a distant state I will not name told me about a situation years ago where a plumbing issue resulted in a sewage backup…

Now Tavarish can fix it and start this all over again.

The tiny tracker’s rise to prominence seems like a missed opportunity for airlines. Major carriers could have designed their own in-house GPS bag tracking system and charged passengers for the privilege of using it.

I used to live near Scottsboro, Alabama. They are very proud of this place called Unclaimed Baggage, where they buy lost luggage and sell all the stuff they find. In general, it was a great place to get stuff like Bose QC headsets and iPads and nice clothes fairly inexpensively.
