Out of curiosity, did you get an alignment after installing the lift?

These tools work perfectly. It connects to a ratchet allowing use of an extension. The jaws are spring loaded closed, and close tighter the harder you turn the wrench. Thanks for the user report. I'm going to stick with my puncture and baggie approach for now. I loosen the filter with the...

No power should go to the rear wheels unless they are slipping or you have selected 4WD lock. This sounds like a problem that will require a shop visit.

Ah, ok. As @jkernitzki said, perhaps overkill for off-roading.

What is it? The webpage describes use and installation, but there's nothing about purpose. Is it just to connect a portable power battery to your car? If so, how is it different from just plugging your portable battery into the power outlet in the back?

Grandpa had a 1960 Lincoln Continental. Grandpa would slide open that rear window so my brother and I could sit on the backseat hat shelf with our heads sticking up above the roof line...while grandpa would scream down the road at 100mph.

Not according to the NHTSA.

I like the changes Jeep made to the styling on these. Good luck and enjoy your new car!

Enthusiasts and traditionalists do not like continuously variable transmissions, but they make the most sense if you want maximum acceleration from a limited amount of power. Internal combustion engines make their maximum torque (power for acceleration) at a specific RPM. If you can keep the...

Not the same as the 2.0L, but quite a bit better than the 1.5L. Not thrilling, but adequate. For reference, my wife drives a long stretch of highway (180+ miles) weekly averaging between 72-74 mph. Her fuel economy increased from 30-32 mpg with the 2.0L to 34-36 mpg with the Hybrid. That's not...

We've driven several different Ford Escapes (rental cars) over the past few years equipped with the 1.5L engine. Acceleration is not what you get with the 2.0L (not surprising given the 1.5L makes 50+ fewer ponies), but it's not inadequate for a commuter car. If you spend a lot of time on...

A couple of nits: First, it's not carbon buildup or combustion temps the computer is controlling for, it's cylinder pressure. Detonation increases cylinder pressure, which if allowed to go on too long can increase head temperature and damage rings and piston skirts. Reducing excess carbon...

It appears those are in stock as well: https://www.amazon.com/Oil-Udder-Change-Tool-Construction/dp/B0FMVB9M65?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

They are currently showing 12 in stock at their Amazon store: https://www.amazon.com/Oil-Udder-Change-Tool-Construction/dp/B0FMVB9PSZ?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1

Looks like a good solution as well, especially for vertical filters.

Will report back after I get one. :captain:

If you have a shop compressor this tool might make DIY oil changes a whole lot less messy.

Not a thing, my man, not a thing. :handshake:

Reading through this thread makes it fairly clear that not everyone wants touchscreen controls. I think it started as a "cool factor" in higher-end vehicles (operate your car just like your smartphone!!!), but manufacturers have come to realize it's far less expensive to implement vehicle...

Increased throttle response is pretty much a given with a software modification meant to improve engine performance. There's only so much you can do with boost/fuel/spark control to squeeze significantly more power out of an engine without increasing engine wear and the risk of catastrophic...
