Nice :) Although, I'd rather have access to live cams at a Guns & Roses concert. Lets just say that the term "drop top" was encouraged by the organizers and there were plenty of participants willing to get with the program in order to appear on the big screens.

While thinking of it, might look into whether it is worth cryo treating the front rotors on the '16. I do this on my older Ferds to prevent warp. Do not recommend the slotted or drilled rotors as this reduces the amount of braking force. Been there, not doing it again.

IIRC, only real difference from a 3/4 ton to a 1 ton was is in the rear as 1 tons could get dually, and the 1 tons had the stronger springs. But there are also (or, were) 1 tons with singles. And there were 3/4 tons with springs which actually put them in the 1 ton class. Just checked on Tasca...

I'm shocked that Kali did not manage to add a 4'th item to that "Caution" sticker for Prop 65.

If loosening the fuel cap works, then time for a new cap. If not, any other restriction points such as inline filters? Crimped hard supply line? Imploded soft supply line? Can try the trick of forcing air back into the tank to see if it was a simple clog. Make sure to loosen the tank cap...

Is the voltage 12.8 when the glow plugs are supposedly 'On'? If so, this seems like they are actually offline and I'd expect ~8 - 10v when the glow plugs are active and healthy. Do not recall the DS4 6.5 doing a "race up and fall back to idle" behavior. My other computer controlled diesels...

I am a bit lost here in terms of what is going on. Narrative indicates that the only major thing is the tranny. Except, the invoices show that the powertain is (or, was) also a mess. What is the current status here? Not sure I would have fixed a locked-up turbo, but rather go with a new unit...

This is another area where 5'ers and TTs differ. 5'ers usually allow for more insulation space in the overhead which makes them better candidates for 4 season camping. Walls on both the TT and 5'er are usually about the same when it comes to insulation space. In the TT, there are only a few...

The cut-off is 2006 - 2008 (the .com bust). After this, corporate raiders bought-up a bunch of the surviving manufacturers and let the bean counters take over. I happened to meet somebody who wrote and consulted on new electrical code / standards, showed a picture of a 2017 Class A...

Related, if wanting to take a long break and park the TT / 5-er for a while (say, during the next pandemic for example), there is no worry about whether it will start or the fuel has gone bad.

Yes, a few years ago. It was a pain. I did figure out how to navigate the quirkiness. Once I found the part number, I walked into the local Delco store.

If you want to really take a deep dive and DIY, there are instructions floating around on how to make a Raspbery Pi carputer. This is not as hard as it seems as people have already created the modified OS. This is on my wish list, but my time keeps getting sucked into something else (Honey...

IIRC, Pioneer and Kenwood are pretty much like DeWalt and Black & Decker. Same guts, different skin. Either way, both are good at the consumer level. Of the two items referenced, the Pioneer states that it runs on Android, but the ad does not give the OS version number which makes this claim...

IIRC, the manufacturer sometimes has notes on the lifespan hidden in their disclaimers. Some have public narrative on the topic. But, generally it is no more than 5 years for tires with a good reputation if they get little use. 7 years if the tires get regular use. This is also the case for...

Definitely neat and nearly no expense, but still looks like a bit too much work for me :) I went this route: https://www.tmrcustoms.com/collections/tools/products/diy-toe-alignment-tool Have to admit that I had the local shop actually use the TMR tool on my beastie, but it worked well. For...

Based on this, best bet is to replace them at the 5 year mark from date of manufacture. And the spare too ;)

Am just now seeing this as well. For the SOB RWD CC LWB dually, I went with Michelin Agilis Crossclimate all around. Thought about the XPS ribbed for the rear, but backed away as I was not confident it would do as well if I had to drive in wet snow. The Crossclimate is working very well on...

Seeing as this thread was dredged back up... With the previous owners buried next door, perhaps a slight re-work to the house design is in order:

Any other oil additives that the owner does not want to fess-up to? Or, more than 5K interval oil changes? Although, agree that the run-away might have done the damage. And then the 2 more only added to the injury. Agree with WW that veggie oil does not belong in an engine that anybody wants...
