Get underneath the truck and look at the rear couple of bolts, holding manifold to head. Bet a dollar you have at least 1 broken/missing one.

The brake clean/carb cleaner trick doesn't work anymore. The computers are so fast at compensating/adjusting fuel. Also computer, is extremely sensitive to air leaks and would flag a check engine light. My bet would be a leak in the exhaust, most likely the at the manifold and cylinder head...

The video posted by @Zeusmotorworks is 75-0, video I posted is 60-0 and the statement by hammer is 60-0. Just to be clear on said test conditions.

I new I saw it somewhere here. Not a video but a post. Seems his truck could be heavier with 37s, and two spares, it will be hard to find an apples to apples test, but his stock brake measurements where basically the same as in the alcon video, so I expected similar numbers with the switch...

Did not see you posted similar video. Looking for Wilwood video. Yea their older kit required 20" wheels or larger so we don't want that kit.

Here is alcon video, they did front and rear. Can't find a video with just front alcons.

I will see if I can find my sources in the morning. Both test had the same stock stopping distance. There are always some variables, the # difference is quite a bit.

So in the small but couple tests I have seen done. Stock braking from 60mph is 150 ft +/- a few feet. Willwoods are -17% around 130 ft But alcons are -45% around 106ft. (If I have mistaken something please say so)

Having a plow would just allow people of lesser vehicle to follow, eph that sh-it. Get your own. Might as well put an asphalt-er on the back so prius can hang with you.

I have seen a couple of those, damn I would think it would be fun as hell.

Fair enough, you an Amazon driver (just giving you some crap). You will gain HP and MPG with higher octane. The HP rating isn't based on the worst conditions, it is based on the best. It doesn't sound like you drive enough to make it pay, but I would estimate with 87 you are down 2-3 mpg...

So what you are saying is you don't actually know how to drive anything but a prius. I would get tracks before I detuned, just saying. And yes I have seen a Michigan winter (upper peninsula) definitely harsh, even compared to my location.

Have you ever tried 93? Is there a reason you have a Halo vehicle but use the lowest possible grade of fuel?? This is mind boggling to me, so in all seriousness I would like to know your thought process.

Yea, my wife's 2013 SHO has no hard buttons for heated/cooled seats. Loose that screen and you loose a lot more functionality that just the radio.

Yea, I suspect a failed APIM (sync module). The earlier ones had memory chips that would degrade over time (same thing is affecting earlier tesla vehicles, causing them to become 6,000lbs lawn ornaments)

I'll bite, why does it seem suspicious?? Do you normally have it marked on your calendar when things wil go south in your life?? Seems like a classic parts failure, especially electronics. I am trying to be some what of smart ass, don't get me wrong. But in all seriousness, I have customers...

Oh And geeze, patience is not your virtue!!

What year? I see a few issues with the APIM (sync module). Some (not all) have an factory extended warranty program for 10 years.

Would you please come out west so we can test in some great off road experiences.

She was a teenager when I was born

Oh I am sure it happens. She just doesn't tell me.

Actually want to try a set of those on my superduty.

I haven't installed them yet (the old cobblers kids have the worst shoes in town type thing). So when installed I will judge size. I already know they will be bigger in diameter over what I have since I am down to about 4/32 in the rear.

Let me know when you want go for a ride then. My 71 year old mom in the back seat 8 months ago (Doing 105), "I can't believe we are going 100mph on dirt, who would have ever guessed" My dad (who was off roading in the late 1960's) "yep" (My mom does most the talking if you can't tell)

every IWE I have seen and I have seen a bunch made a ratcheting or grinding type noise, why because that is what is happening. The teeth on the IWE are grinding on the teeth on the axle. Thumping noise seems like it would be something else, but if you can prove me wrong please do so (post your...
