Unfortunately they're not all that accurate. If you stop at any point and compare the screen to a good digital gauge, they're usually off by a few psi and not always an equal amount. They're good for see that the tires are in the ballpark but that's about it. Yea, I'd agree.. But mine seem to be pr...

Well they don't need it to ID the tire with a lable. Just stay in order would be fine. I like to monitor the heat up as weather changes. I prefer front/41psi & rear/40psi at highway temp. It's a good ride in combo with my shock and bag adjustments. Right now that makes cold temp 35/36psi. As it ...

That's all assuming the tire pressure sensors are re-programmed every time the tires are rotated. If you rotated the tires and don't re-program, then the tire pressures with be out of order on the screen. Well crap, that's not good.... I rotated my tires every 10,000 miles or so. I guess the onscre...

Onscreen air pressure tire order

Does anyone know the order of the onscreen air pressure readings. My onscreen info shows a list of all 4 tire pressures, but I don't know which tire has what pressure because they are not labeled.

Hi there. The roof rack bars will allow you to get creative. I made my own tray, there is a clip here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkxAYcmaex4 It might motivate you to have a go yourself. I need to modify mine a little as I've bought an open canoe which is a little too wide for the current set ...

Here is a link to my $100 roof rack & light mod post. It worked so well we bought second one for our 2000 Infiniti Q45, (R50 Pathfinder) Ranch truck. We are even thinking of buying a third one to mount on the hood, as the ranch truck seldom makes it onto a real road. It is very strong. Much stro...

Interesting smj999smj Ingenious design, if it didn't leak. A temp. cooler, heater, and stabilizer in one unit. I can see the benefit to... For instance if running high RPM in 4low with little forward movement, the in-radiator cooler might offer more stable cooling than the ext-cooler for a longer ti...

First of all, it is still called a "cooler," though it does function to warm the ATF in times when it is too cold, as well as cool the ATF when the fluid is too hot. It's primary job is to maintain the ATF temperature around 175-210 degrees F. Yes, I would 100% agree with that... Although...

Ok just did it and then came in to see if I did it right. The pics in your link are great. Thanks. Everything looks clean and oil looks good. So what we are bypassing is a heater, not a cooler. What if trans temps surpass radiator temps? Is that possible and would it help cooling at that point? I t...

I think many people get confused (I did) and think the bypass takes out the transmission cooler. It does not. The radiator has a built-in transmission heater..(not a cooler). This helps get the Trans temp up when first started. This built-in heater is what leaks. You are bypassing this heater. The T...

I thought the same, pos location for a switch. But yes the keys will bumb it when driving. You can remove it with a screwdriver. Just 2 small holes behind it that hold the rubber posts from the pad.
