I guess from the position of the drivers seat, with the cock-pit type layout where everything is driver centric....I dont really see that side of the dash in my face so I dont particularly care?

Good thing it hasnt been that old dash since 2014 when the 2015MY was released.

This dash really bothers you that much? I actually think its tasteful, will age well, and looks great.

I believe in my moms Durango you can set an auto-on feature but it wont activate at temps warmer than 40-45F? It would be nice to have it auto-on up to 72 because 65 at night is chilly.

A little metro area with about 110-115k people? The city its self has a population of 66k. This was about an hour and 20 minutes up 94 from Minneapolis.

Back in March of last year I had a fantastic experience at my parents local Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership. My moms 07 Santa Fe finally kicked the bucket at 265,000ish miles (she bought it brand new in 06). There was knocking coming from the engine and glitter in the oil and filter.

Her requirements were that she…

This is a really well done video. Sounds like overall for N/A the 6.2L aluminum engine from the Escalade/Denali is the engine to have. Same packaging as the others but the biggest displacement.

machining that metal plate is likely more expensive. PLUS they cant make a thick bulky shifter lever that carries a ton of mass to make shifts feel more compliant and less mechanical. Oh, and to reduce NVH.

no more dorky than a 3rd gen MR2, the MR-S

Probably cannibalized Dakota axles just like the Viper

If I recall correctly from when South Dakota raised their limits to 80 MPH speed limit they decided strict enforcement was a MUST. Sure you were driving 80 before but youre still only going to do 80. They had HEAVY patrolling for at least a year after and from what I hear they only have about a 5mph variance now. 85…

My dream livery for a camper would look like a log cabin. Seems pretty obvious and simple.

This was actually good though.

I explained this to a guy at the bar a couple months ago. He said its all computer signals now blah blah (referring t0 CAN-BUS). I illustrated how square wave signals work and how you can diagnose a bad signal pretty easily with an oscilloscope, cheap ones of which can be had. He actually seemed to be coming around on…

Kid Rock was excellent in Joe Dirt

SUPER fast.

But will they fill it at my local brewery?

We should all be on the Kodak calendar

High speed damping is usually softer, or increases at a much lower rate, than low speed damping. Take a look at a typical shock absorber damping plot of damper velocity on the x and damper force on the y. There is typically a “knee” where internal valving opens at a certain damper velocity allowing the damper to…
