  Joined today! Been trying to research for adding fog lights to my truck and on alfaOBD. I bought a 2016 Ram 1500 with the lovely 5.7 and 4x4 with only 19K miles on it!! Only downside is it was a tradesmen so it’s missing some feature I would like. I plan on doing some pretty basic stuff to it. A bed cover, rear bumper, a nice 3-4” lift and a air horn.

  Are we SOL with new power steering pumps?

  By 01yellercobra

  I've been looking around for a new pump for my car, but haven't had much luck. The new ones I can find are listed for GT's. I'm assuming it has something to do with the inlet position. I emailed Lares to see if they're going to produce more pumps for our cars, but no response. Can the inlet piece be rotated or replaced? I'm not against swapping in an AN fitting as I'm doing all of that anyway. I was looking at rebuilding my pump, but the tool I have to remove the pulley did a little... Read more

  Tire pressure recommendation discrepancy

  By Shaggy G

  I have a Air Touring with 245/45 R19 wheels. The sticker on the door frame specifies 49 psi for both front and rear tires. The new software update recommends 42 psi all around. The software knows what tires are on the car. What is the correct number? Thanks

  Beware: Your “luxury Genesis concierge” is just a cheap Hyundai in a Genesis costume

  By MikeMacFarland

  A few weeks ago our 2025 GV80 with <18,000 miles developed a “Check Driver Assistance system” warning. The dealer we bought it from, where we already have a service history, is roughly 200 miles from home. Genesis Roadside refused to authorize those extra 18 miles. Instead, it insisted on the “closer” dealership in Richmond, about 182 miles away, where we had no existing relationship. Apparently, saving 18 miles of towing mattered more than getting us to the dealer that already knew us. That... Read more

  2026 CX-50 transfer case oil change

  By PoMansMazda

  I had to do an engine oil change on my 2026 CX-50 today so I took the opportunity to drain/fill the T-case as well given the vehicle is at 14500 miles. I topped up the level on the rear differential oil level some weeks back. Much like the rear diff, the 23mm fill plug on the T-case wasn't very tight. Again I had to use a 6pt 24mm socket as I do not have anything that is 23mm. I have ordered a 23mm socket to have on hand. The ~400mL of gear oil that drained out didn't look bad, but... Read more

  road noise and water?

  By landcruiser3DP

  i've been noticing road noise at the top left of the drivers side window and finally got a minute to do a closer inspection. looks like there is some kind of seal that is broken. i'm assuming i do this four times as long as i am ordering it. what do i call them? any package deals out there? also is it possible this is the reason for water accumulation in those rubber plug sealed wells that run front to back? i am pretty sure my roof drains drain properly (though i have to double check) and i...

  Amazon/eBay Viscous Coupler (for Rear Differential)

  By joe-diy

  I need to replace my Viscous Coupler on my 2015 CX-5 2.5L 6SP Auto. Has anyone used one of the Amazon or ebay aftermarket ones? They are $250-300 vs $1200+ OEM. Car has 150k on it, newer to me so not wanting to put a ton into it until I get a feel if it's a 300ker. My question is if you were able to get the ECM programmed for the new aftermarket one. The OEM units apparently are tested and tagged with detailed results that are on a sticker that is entered at dealer when flashing. I'm... Read more

  Issues with A/C and compressor itself.

  By avrguser

  Hello. I'm almost done with the engine reseal project, but also have issues with A/C. Found a major leak from a line above the engine, not sure whether I have to replace whole line or just an o-ring. Anyways, there is no refrigerant nor oil in the system. A/C compressor bearing is noisy so needs to be replaced, but how do I check the A/C compressor? I don't want to spend around 800 if I can still use this one with a new bearing and/or clutch. What else I have to do not to ruin the whole A/C... Read more
