  • Rule of thumb is what ever you do to one side of a vehicles axle you do the same to the other. You really need to get the other tire changed so there are 2 new ones of the same tread wear on the same axle.

    You wouldn’t change only one brake rotor or do the LF brakes and not the RF brakes. You do them as a set.

    Not only will your transmission and differentials suffer excess wear due to unever wheel speeds your braking and ABS will suffer too.

    If you had a 1970s vehicle sure you can get away with this and probably won’t have any issues. But with a newer vehicle your only asking for more expensive issues.










  • Definitely love the look of a stock 95-96 Impala SS. I miss the clone I had for over a decade. Most reliable car I ever had. Will never forget how well it would cruise at 100-120 MPH for hours on end feeling like your on a cloud. They really should have put a 454 in the SS


  • I’m interested in this too. Software for manufacturer specific vehicles like Ford Power strike or Toyota/Lexus as well as industrial off highway engines and equipment. Kubota, Doosan, Yanmar, John Deere etc.

    Many use similar communication protocols but the software for special functions are manufacture specific.

    Would love to cut out the dealers and be able to do forced manual Regen and injector tests etc







  • Depending on how often you run it you should look into doing a setup similar to what I have listed below.

    One, get a gasoline Honda generator. 7000 kw ideal 3000 minimum. Depending on how many loads you’d like to run at once will decide on your size generator. Don’t go too big or fuel consumption will be excessive. Too low and you will not have enough to do what you need to or will wear it out prematurely. Make sure to get roughly 25 to 50 gallons worth of gas cans too otherwise you’ll be stopping for fuel multiple times a week.

    Add in an 2000-3000 watt pure sine wave inverter/charger and a small 700-1000ah battery bank so that you can run your lights, router, small fridge, fans, furnace etc when the generator is not running. Idea is to add in some solar panels so that your small loads won’t require you to run the generator every day all day long. Run it when you need to cook, or power large loads and let the inverter system power the small loads when the generator is not needed.

    Stock up on good quality oil for the generator and change the oil every 50 to 75 hours depending on how hard you run it. Oil changes are critical to longevity of an engine and the MFG suggested oil change interval does not have the consumers best interest in mind. Change oil early or change the engine early.
