To your earlier point Tim, I work with engineers all the time and the look is common; a lot of times it is because I am bringing up something they didn't think of already or it's something I mention that was documented in the Systems Engineering Plan two versions ago and I must have missed the...

Tim, Yeah remember that video and his discussion and linked back to it on you tube where top commenters had the same concern as I do and which wasn't addressed: "I think the biggest problem is still not addressed, that is carbon buildup in the intake valves. It’s my understanding that carbon/...

Just a suggestion to possibly help the "durability" of the episode: Can you segment topics into chapters to aid finding particular bits of information, i.e. Chapter 1, Why Inline Six, Chapter 2, Durability, etc. As these trucks come into inventory, I'm sure the inevitable back and forth at...

Wow, Out of the Park on it. Glad you asked about Thermal Management, AKA, cooling, which was my first big question. Great detail on the low temperature circuit and the problem of turbo coking after long trips and drivers not letting the engine run after a long trip to allow oil exchange...

Given the thumbnail title, figure this would cover the last few minutes...It is so bad, it is good.

You Too!, Mucky here, but we will make it!

What is the premiere feature? On this forum, YT or the website?

Man, enjoy those days. Mine is already in his 30s and out in your neck of the woods in the city...Moving back East soon.

Well, cleaning out the garage may not be fun in itself but the music keeping you going makes it better as you say...Plus so satysfying in the end when it looks great. I will take the compliment, thanks, but think it is my nature to be a bit contrarian (I think I actually used the word in a...

Message boards come and go...Have some Beta fun this weekend.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what context the statement "times have changed a lot since 2021 mid-pandemic" is being used; technology of MRNA vaccines maybe, but given the time lines involved in developing propulsion needing articles like aircraft and land vehicles, it is isn't that long...

https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/03/2024-honda-passport-trailsport-the-good-bad-dealbreakers/ Remember the days when Honda was innovative and cool just with a DX model and steel wheels? I do. Now its tape and name packages like GM of old. BTW Jill, hubby use expletives much?

Stellantis Global Medium Engine. This is the company name for the Hurricane Engine Architecture the 2.0L and 3.0L both belong to as part of their engine portfolio.

Carbon build up? Well despite some BS about only "Five percent being shared" https://www.autoweek.com/news/a39525460/stellantis-hurricane-engine-details/ Stelllantis still referred to it as a GME Engine: https://www.motortrend.com/news/stellantis-dodge-ram-jeep-chrysler-turbo-i6-engine/...

Sounds like a Greg Maddux worthy change-up; any particular reason for going any from a road performance biased truck to one with an off-road bent and a diesel to boot?
