• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    My Diamond Plate Aluminum Floorboards

    They look great. I found that sometimes a ryder just needs to change position. Ken in Vegas said he puts his feet up on the plastic. I decided to go one better and bought 2 pieces of steel strap, cut and bent to fit and bolted to the motor mount, brought them out from under the bottom plastic...

    Change your tire if you wish but there are three (3) wear bars on the tire. High, Medium and low. Look to see. If you have a lot of tread, tire should be ok. Tires are no different than car tires.

    PRO SHOPS REPAIR

    To be honest, Im not sure if they verified it was the Mobile 1 4t but I was told by several others and my mechanic that it now has sm rating and Mobil had not put that on the oil containers.

    2011 RS 91 octane?

    The lower the octane the hotter the burn. If it doesn't ping, it is OK. 87 usually is alright. But if pinging occurs, up it to the next level.

The dealer and Mechanic informed me, and I take it for what it is worth, that when a motor is broke in with a specific type of oil, a person should stay with that type. I was told Castrol is ok but...
