It was a sweet sort of chemical smell when coming through the vents. When opening up the hood after a long drive the sweet smell was more so prominent than the chemical smell.
That sounds like a coolant leak.
Yep. Water pump replaced! Luckily they are actually already done with it which is awesome. Only one day in the shop.
In terms of the amount of work involved in this job, it should only take about 1/2 day for a competent mechanic to complete (given all parts are on hand).
235/70 won’t fit in spare area (30” tire), biggest I can wedge in there is 245/65 (29.5” tire). This keeps spare as close as possible in height in case I need to try and run with drive train locked up.
that makes sence now that i work it through in my mind, just seemed strange at first that the 235 has a taller sidewall by .5"
Have you taken it off road yet? I've read that the 235/70R17's don't rub, but I'd like confirmation.
Sounds nice. Adaptive cruise is the best! It takes some getting used to. If you have lane centering (the button on the steering wheel) and ACC on the car basically drives itself.
Not yet off road but clearance doesn’t seem much different from that of the 245/65’s, probably due to the narrower tread width. Have bounced it over some pretty good speed bumps with wheels turned and nothing scraped. I’m not sure, but there might be some interference with the trim levels other than BL unless they have a little lift.
