  1. Headwind vs Tailwind

    FWIW, given the BL is the better part of two tons and can run sub 6 sec 0-60 times along with real offroad capabilities - the mpg figures are quite good...
  2. Headwind vs Tailwind

    About the same here (N of Houston), esp across to SA and back... You know, for some reason I can't find a quick reference to the BS drag coefficient... I'm guessing "brick like" would be a good guess? Also noticed quite an improvement over the first 1K miles, and some effect of higher octane...
  3. Hood shaking at speed - what Mitsubishi did

    Not to beat a ... well, yeah. Adjust the "bumpers" under the hood (there are four - hood and either side of radiator) until it closes with a solid push, and ensure that the gap is (fairly) uniform all the way 'round. Had a bit of wobbly at first, but noticed the odd hood closure right away...

    BLIS is off (page 211) Use steering wheel controls: Settings>driver aids>blis on/off It's a handy feature!
  10. No sound from rear speakers

    Whilst a convenience, I'm sure, at my diminutive height of 1/8" under 6 feet, I have yet to have the rear seat headrest contact the front - even with a full size Maglite molle'd to said front seatback. Ah well.
  12. Delivered with missing parts?

    Huh. Mine has it. Jan 22 built...
  13. Gateway Module Failure

    Bummer. The GM is the "crossover" for the various CANs, so without it the separate systems (body, powertrain, displays) can't talk to each other. This is what warranty is for...
