Do you have to unload it when storing it though?

I like it!

I think this guy, and Joe Arpaio from AZ need to run for pres. and v. pres.!

So, another store where IF they ask if you need any help, the reply is "no, I think I've got it" while trying to hold back the part where you say I probably know more than you about this.

I think it goes well with Gen3's "I want" thread. Not nearly as epic, though.

People have ethics these days?

Legit business, or just you making some cash? Taxes filed and paid on said income? If not, then shut up about it being a business. Your tactics surely don't help make it a fair market. Seems more like a "loaded" market." Didn't you state that you had done that with others? Really, I'm not out demonize you, I just don't think it's fair. I'm glad that you sound like you don't do it often, but I'm sure there are many more out there that do the same. For me, if I can't get a really good deal on something, I leave it alone.

I forgot all about that one!

Smart business? Artificially inflating prices is smart business? Sounds GREEDY to me. But what do I know. I used to be able to find good deals on ebay. Not so much these days, due to tactics such as you mention. I'm looking for a motherboard for a Socket AM2 processor, and all of the decent ones must be made of gold. The majority of them seem to be Buy-it-Now for as much, maybe even more than when they were new. Similar for the socket 939 processors. I do find SOME decent deals here and there on used auto and motorcycle parts.

Just not giving mods anything to edit.

I personally prefer tube steak. Oh yeah, and massive amounts of pasta.

Relentless this one is!

Interesting. I've been thinking about DIY-ing some heated grips, and this would go well with that. Add heated socks and I'd be set!

I only show 6 pages.

same as here: jporter12 I play (very poorly) Black ops almost exclusively.

If you have to ask, then probably not!

Have you met some of the people they employ? Oh, wait!

If you can, grab the code again before tearing into it, I may be able to save you some time/headaches! (I do this stuff everyday, for a "living")

Ok, I just looked this up on one of the resources that I have available to me, and the passages in the intake are what is the MOST common cause of an EGR flow code on those engines with the aluminum intake plenum. Take off the EGR valve, leave the tube alone, clean out the plenum and you'll be good to go. The test for this is to supply vacuum to the EGR valve (hand held vacuum pump, bypass the solenoid, manually energize the solenoid, etc...) and see if the engine stumbles. If it doesn't, you probably need to clean the passages. If it does, then you have either a DPFE sensor problem, or you're not getting vacuum to the EGR valve, due to a broke hose, bad solenoid, bad signal to the solenoid, etc... Hope this helps! If you have a code for the DPFE, then you need to replace that.

You might try just taking it loose at the top and start the car to see how much exhaust blows out of it. While you're at it, you can take the EGR valve off and see if the passages look clean in the plenum, all without bothering that bottom fitting.

This is a thread ABOUT cruisers, not to be participated in by riders of cruisers. Got it? I'm pretty sure that most of the riders I know that have "butt jewelry" bikes don't use the front brakes as their primary brake. I'll have to ask around on this one.

As a GM guy, I'm not exactly thrilled with the Equinox (or many other FWD/AWD GM's.) The wheel bearings (OE and replacements) are crap. Steering shafts can get noisy. I don't think they drive all that well. For the way they ride and drive, one might as well get a minivan, and have the extra space! I have a tough time calling a Pilot full sized (we have one.) If the budget allows, I would recommend going with the Pilot over the CRV, unless fuel mileage is a huge concern. The chain is an improvement, but not a complete remedy, since the chains do fail in the K series engines. More reliable than a belt, yes. As reliable as one would expect from a chain? Maybe not quite. So does my FWD Dodge (that should have died about 100k miles ago)

Too much nerd in this thread for us mere mortals.

They are, but they STILL spend WAY more than they get from us!
