I have one question in regards to people who already have a high end powermeter crank, like I have a THM M3 and a SRM Origin one that are setup with the current Etap- Will these work with the new groupset?

While these cars may polarize Porsche purists, we say the community is stronger and richer because of this diversity. So here it is, our list and gallery of the best restomod, outlaw and just crazy cool custom Porches.

(yes no one needs the big range.. like no one needs a bike. I do long offroad climbs consistenly over 15% for hours. range is nice..)

You don’t have to spend more than $100 to get great tech. Here are the best sub-$100 tech deals you can get on Cyber Monday.

The 4.0L Jeep engines are nearly bulletproof. If properly maintained, they can easily hit 250,000 miles. Unfortunately, sometimes they still have issues. It’s difficult to identify an internal engine noise via email, but there are a few things you can check. The first thing to remember is that the 4.0L engines were never all that quiet to begin with. The 4.0L engine was based on a 50-year-old design. Having said that, it’s also not uncommon for a 4.0L lifter to have issues. I think you should first inspect the oil pressure. The typical oil pressure rule for older engines like your 4.0L is to look for 10 psi for every 1,000 rpm. If it’s dipping below this, you could have a failing oil pump or worn bearings in the engine. Although, some 4.0L engines will run for years on minimal oil pressure. Regardless, excessively worn or damaged engine bearings will be easy to diagnose when inspecting the engine oil. If there are lots of metal flakes in the oil, you likely have a bigger internal issue and a teardown might be required.

We understand that most owners in this class will not tow; that’s not how mid-size pickup owners typically use their truck. But given the number of Wranglers we see towed behind Ford, Chevrolet and Ram pickups, it seems like the automaker would want to offer an integrated feature trailer brake controller so that existing Jeep fans who purchase both vehicles can tow the Wrangler behind the Gladiator. Seems like a missed opportunity for now but we’re guessing Mopar parts will pick up the slack.

As hinted above, the 2.8L diesel needs to be better. The aftermarket is always an option, but it’s nice to have the assurance of a non-voided warranty. The base 2.5L I4 LCV is mediocre, while 3.6L V6 never seemed to make sense in this truck, either. The Small Block-based 4.3L V6 LV3 with 305 hp and 348 pound-feet of torque would have given us everything we were looking for. Perhaps Chevrolet will figure a way to either offer the the 4.3L V6 or the new 2.7L turbo four – which makes essentially the same specs as the pushrod six – for the Colorado in the coming model years.

As for service just depends on the dealer. GM has good dealers and bad. Much of this is because they have too many dealers vs competitors. GM tried to cut them in the bail out but the goverment put a stop to it. Now it is too expensive to buy them out.

On Black Friday, we saw big savings on the usual culprits — KitchenAid mixers, Fitbit fitness trackers, and the Instant Pot, which were snatched up by eager shoppers. You can expect many similar, if not better deals Monday.

Hopefully the build quality is better than the table saws they’ve put out. Mine fell apart after a month of light use. Still love the circular saw they make, but that’s a simpler tool

I just got an Hitachi C10RJ, 10″, job site, table saw. Today it lost its virginity.

The stable and powerful Hitachi table saw is packed with features that any Pro should love, including the largest rip capacity in its class. It’s built for soup-to-nuts work from dimensional lumber to sheet materials. The cutting, folding, and transporting features work remarkably well.
