The 8 year old Odyssey battery in my Jeep was $250 back then, now it’s $430. Could be replacing it very soon with the same. If Odyssey makes a battery for my blackwing, I’m going to go with that.

Yea, buy now to avoid the freaky pussy engine on the way.

2026 is the last year of the current generation 5BW! Get ‘em while you can.

I’m surprised $100 batteries still exist in today’s environment.

You don’t need to take it to a Cadillac dealer, can be any GM dealer.

Unacceptable!

This is a 5BW? I use a funnel with a 1” opening and pour oil as fast as it comes out of the bottle. The funnel is used more like a splash guard as I direct the oil without hitting the funnel edges much.

That’s what he tells the wife, meanwhile he’s finished off a 6-pack in the garage.

I have a lot of different equipment and tools purchased over many decades. I have many tools that I use once in a blue moon. But when I need that tool there’s no substitute for it. Making a fuse tap is very quick and all the supplies and tools are right at my fingertips. I can make a fuse tap...

I get the slight rear wander pretty regularly going from 1st into 2nd with anything more than about 1/2 throttle. But it doesn’t surprise me because some city streets are pretty greasy. It helps to pre-warm the tires by laying rubber in 1st before hand.

what's wrong with the OE fluid for the rear diff. There is a clutch pack and I would be concerned about blowing up my warranty with aftermarket. For the tranny HP-MFT works.

I love this engine. For a luxury street cruiser it does everything I need with plenty of low end grunt. Wouldn’t change a thing, other than fix the blowing up aspect.

That doesn’t sound right in general. If the road is oily and in a low gear it is possible, but would take at least 1/2 throttle I would think. Either way if PTM is off the car won’t lose control of the rear.

I use it on the highway when I’m eating donuts, drinking coffee, and smoking a cigar at the same time.

I just used an X-Acto type knife to cut the plastic off the end and solder on a lead. I know it works in the same way I know a lamp works in my house, because all my electronics power on expected.

These two empty positions can be use for ACC. I use one for my radar detector and laser jammer and the other for the dashcam system I installed on Saturday. Made my own fuse tap. There is normally a second blue fuse to the right of the red circles but it is removed for this photo.

On Saturday I installed the Vueroid S1 Infinite front and rear dashcam system along with a BlackboxMyCar PowerCell 8 battery. I have been waiting for a long time for this camera to be released. - A new offering from a Korean company. The build quality seems much better than the Viofo camera I...

Who would run drag tires on the street? And on the street I got nothing to prove, so winning with speed is irrelevant to me. I win with smiles and fun. For the strip there are much better cars than a Blackwing anyway, for less outlay.

I would not consider buying a charger (not a maintainer) with less than 15A for a car and 30A for a heavy use application like a Jeep with a winch. https://www.odysseybattery.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/odyssey-installation-operation-and-maintenance-manual.pdf

And that’s what makes it so fun!
