    My 2012 Grand Cherokee Hemi said something about using 89 octane in the manual. Probably basically what JT said.

    Does the Hemi still require 89 octane?

    Truck Tow Vehicle

    It's a a bit claustrophobic,.I'd agree, especially in the all black interiors. It doesn't even have a big panoramic moonroof ton open the interior up. It very much is a midsize SUV that got stretched out, it doesn't have the extra room you expect stepping.up.to a "big 3 row". Comparing it to one...

    No Hurricane I6 yet, nor any reliable info on when it will be. Frankly, I expected it in the GC like a year or more ago. I dunno if the motor is having teething pains, capacity constraints, or what, but I thought they'd have put it into the GC by now.

    Ironically we just got our Expedition back from a trans rebuild under warranty. We looked at Grand Cherokee L before we bought the Expedition. We liked them a lot, they're definitely significantly smaller inside and out, which is good and bad. The interiors are super nice, especially once you...

    New twin turbo six coming to Stellantis

    Not surprised. They go to these stupid all in one screens to save money, so it wouldn't surprise me at all that they'd be shared with other vehicles. I really prefer the preLCI interior that I have, but the people with the newer LCI cars sometimes prefer theirs. A lot of times they don't.

    Anyone reupholster their seats?

    Post some pics! Did you buy a precut and stitched kit, or used stretchy material?

    Battery outdoor power equipment

    Nah, 10Ah at 56V is like half a kWh. A full kWh is like, , 12 cents or something.

    Battery outdoor power equipment

    I haven't bought the edger yet. The string trimmer actually does a really good job at edging too. I'll probably pick up the edger eventually, but I figured that could be the use I leave to the old 2 stroke until it does and as it's needed. I have to admit, I'm very surprised by how well the...

    You bet. I bought the below. https://www.lowes.com/pd/EGO-EGO-765CFM-BLOWER-KIT/5005381953 https://www.lowes.com/pd/EGO-56-volt-16-in-Telescopic-Cordless-String-Trimmer-4-Ah-Battery-and-Charger-Included/5005424097...

    Interesting Jetboat related Car and Driver article

    No idea, I'm sure the larger motors are better at partial throttle, the MR1s have to spin up to like 6000rpm ish (give or take 1000rpm) before the boats are up and kinda on plane. I would wager that the larger engines get on plane at lower rpms and are likely more efficient there, though I think...

    Interesting Jetboat related Car and Driver article

    As an MR1 guy, it's cute to see that in 15 years and with nearly doubled the displacement Yamaha found another 20-30hp. Do my MR1s sound like very buzzy bees in my ears? Yes,.and I'm sure these motors don't as much. Still funny to me.

    Battery outdoor power equipment

    The line of tools thing is more like a nitpick, because now I have another line of batteries and a lot of them. I get it though, they're focused on outdoor tools, whereas everyone but Ryobi that has a full line of tools their outdoor stuff is an afterthought. I'd just like to see a few more...

    Battery outdoor power equipment

    Another update. I bought the 765cfm blower and the loneiq string trimmer. The trimmer is awesome, very powerful, a little weird that I don't have the same variable trigger like my gas trimmer had, but it's easy to get used to. It does have 2 speeds, I did a little trimming and edging and didn't...

    Wild to think you can get an XLT both for $500 a month lease AND as a $70k truck, lol.

    @2kwik4u Yeah, I was being lazy and didn't want to do a FULL calculation. We also math'd two different things. I math'd how much FL gas can I buy for the $10k difference. You applied it to the much more expensive situation you have, lol. I don't disagree with your comments about being fully...

    Truck Tow Vehicle

    The $10k difference between a lightning and a titan works out as a break even (assuming $3.30 a gallon, 19 mpg, and free at home charging cuz your uncle almgore gave you a solar setup to charge your truck and you only had to cut down an acre of trees to do your part saving the planet) of 60k...

    Truck Tow Vehicle

    There's a lot of truth to this. I really want to like it, there's just a few things that really kill it for me. Am I overly picky about it? Maybe, but at 70 grand I don't think that you can really be overly picky. That's a lot of money for a vehicle. I'm a big "driving experience" guy. My TBSS...

    Yeah, way to go jackass lol. Turns out there's lowering kits for them out already, and you can buy brand new loaded platinums for 70, the lariats are like 67, but younger that EV tax credit maybe. All that to say, I think they're gonna really struggle to sell the EV Silverado and ram. Those are...
