    CT4-V Tools and Parts for DIY oil change

    On the 4BW, the mess is not with the drain plug, its with the oil filter which will drain on the aluminum brace. I cut the top out of a 1 litter soda bottle and made a small funnel to fit under the filter to drain the oil into the pan. Ive used the Fumoto valves before, with my Cummins RAM it...

    A10 crew

    My coummute to/from work includes a 25 mile, 2 lane mountain canyon road, cresting 4k' ele down to 1200. Yes, I run it in manual every day, not to ring its neck, but just overall better control of cars speed, and yes I try to time the up shift as I'm passing "sport" cars.

    Am I the only one burning quarts of oil?

    25K on my 4BW now. Ill see about 1/2 qt used in 5K miles. If your using 3qt between oil changes that's definitely excessive.

    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    TPC Spec or not, coming off a worn out set to a new fresh set of rubber feels fantastic. It is truly amazing how much quieter, smoother and more precise the turn in is with the new set. Like putting on a brand new pair of socks, it makes you wish you could put on a new pair every single day...

    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    25K Miles on them, thought I had another 5K to go based on the wear bars. Didnt notice the inside edge wear. Always run at 32PSI, may bump that up to 35PSI to get some more center on the ground. Also going to have the aligment checked, drives and feels fine, but could have a bit excessive...

    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    Time for tires, cant find the TPC spec for the front locally, dont have time to wait for the TPC spec tires to come in so going to have to put a set of aftermarket PS4S's. I'm sure the new aftermarket 4s's will still feel better than the old warn out OEM's.

    CT4-V Transporting bikes within.

    I'm able to put my road bike in the back with the seats folded down, no problem. Just put the wheels in a wheel bag. I bit the bullet and tried the Sea Sucker for the MT Bike, its a bit scary at first, stopping to check the suction every few miles, but after a while you forget about it up...

    LF4 Engine Oil Temperatures and Type

    For those using Mobil 1 5w-30, for just a few more pennies you can get Mobil 1 Extended Performance which uses a better base and is generally regarded a better oil for the turbo bearings. It comes in 5qt jugs, so I buy three at a time which gives me two oil changes (4bw = 7qt) and I have one qt...

    SD card for Performance data recorder

    With all solid state non volatile memory media, there is a finite number of times the memory allocations can be written to. Larger storage media will last longer as it will overwrite the same allocation less often. With any of the higher quality media, this is usually not an issue as it takes...
