I wired mine using the factory add-on kit -- it's not that bad. The hardest part was routing the cables over the fuel tank and whatnot. Maybe a 2-hr job. -John

I just towed from WA up to the Rubicon trailhead in CA. On the really steep hills/roads, I shifted up to keep the revs up over 2k. This brought the temp down 10-15 degrees. -J

TorkLift makes (3) hitches for my '05, a "same as stock" 5k lb, a 10k lb "drill-less" and a honkin superhitch double-trouble 12k lber. I didn't like the superhitch price, or the doubled-up hitch hanging below my bumper. I installed the 10k lb jobber in an evening with minimal pain. I think...

Whatever you replace with, try clearcoating them with some engine clearcoat, and occasionally squirt with some lightweight lubricating oil. Are you driving a salt truck or something? :) -John

Where you guys able to get the leather installed smooth? I have wrinkles on the bolsters of my front seats and I can't figure out how to get them out.

You were probably paying for the block heater CABLE.

All of the posturing aside, it's a little silly to call out Lorenz for "copying"... Neither of your products are partictularly revolutionary or worthy of a copyright. What I see is that KORE is focused on branding, bling and quality. Nobody argues that your product isn't quality, just that...

You guys are being really counter-intuitive and misleading. EGT and boost level is a function of fuel, RPM and air intake flow. These numbers, while related to power & torque, are not directly correlated. A perfect example is if you add a bigger turbo and more fuel. Your EGT and boost level may...

I don't agree. I've owned a lot of shocks, and found bilstein's to be high quality, easily worth they're (what, $65) price. -J

I agree with this post. If you powder-coated your parts, you'd sell more :) -J

My 2005 didn't come with the tow package so I added the trailer tow wiring harness. Everything went smoothly except there is a blue wire that comes through the firewall under the dash and I don't know what to hook it up to. I have a Prodigy controller with the pre-made wiring that clips into the...

I read on nwbombers that the EZ on higher levels will damage (erode) your injectors. You should look into it.

There's a noticable power difference between an '03 and an '06 isn't there? Fact is, the dude was lying to ya :) He probably had injectors or something... -J

The Tone Ring is that sprocket-looking thing above, it's used to electrically sense where the crank position is. The mod he did was to pull the crank pulley from the front of the engine, take off the tone ring, and open up the left side of the dowel pin that is used to align the tone ring. This...

Seems like DC just cheaped out on us... most factory turbo cars have a BOV. Thanks for the info!
