    The mother of all GAS questions..

    Ok... While at work today, a debate started going around my shop about which was the better gas, regular 87 or premiums 91~93. I said that I thought 87 was better during winter, since it burns hotter. (Or so I've heard from friends that are mechanics..) And that 91~93 was better during the...

    stonemiser, got something you could add to your tranny prodject.

    Hey stone, Just wanted to give you a "Thanks" for making that prodject on the transmission filter change and the EPC adjustment. I just finished up with it about an hour ago, and all is well with my ST. I have noticed it was just a tad firmer on shifting, but I didn't notice THAT much of a...

    EPC adjustment? Should I or No?

    Hey ya'll, This one's more towards Todd Z. I orderd my X cal 2 last week after the advice in the chatroom you gave me with the dealership giving me the shaft.. (Thanks again for that). Wayne said I should be getting that within the next 2~3 days with a pre~made tune he did for me based on...

    stonemiser, got a ? for ya..

    Checked out and read your prodject on the EPC adjustment and transmission filter change... My question is this.. I want to do the adjustment, but I'm afraid I'd screw it up.. How much of a difference does it make? How difficult is it to do the tigtening and the filter change? Mine's an...

    Spare tire ?

    Quick one this time for ya'll. Gettin' ready to do the cross country drive back home from Cali here in 2 months, my spare tire is still the stock 235/70R16 size. But my new ones are larger. Anyone know if you can fit a 265/75R16 tire in the spare tire well under the truck or is it too big?
