Got it!!!! Transferred and everything.

VexXx Dogg · Postby **VexXx Dogg** » March 18th, 2013, 2:09 pm

@Venum, when we went over the pit, the LO didnt even get up from his chair.

He pointed at the chassis num on the rear wheel well and told the prev owner:

"Yuh see them numbers dey, read it out for meh."

Done. Signed, and off to finish transaction.

hmm guess things really have changed; the last time I was there, the LO got out of the chair to ask to call out the numbers :lol:

anyway glad to know you're all sorted out man, I hope the truck treats you well 8-)

Wheels Deal

After Munroe Road flyover, South bound

They were willing to trade in my existing tyres.

VexXx Dogg · Postby **VexXx Dogg** » March 21st, 2013, 8:47 am

Thanks Sweeks.
Those are H/T or A/T?
Are the prices similar, I was told that H/T's should be a tad cheaper and much better for my current application.

venum · Postby **venum** » March 21st, 2013, 11:21 am

^^^ correct, but not necessarily cheaper

good HT's (Michelin, Bridgestone, Yokohama, BFG) not cheap

avg performance HT (Maxxis, Kumho, Bridgestone) are like $1500 Ea

crap HT are cheap (Roadstone, ChinChanChong Chinese) $900.00 and $750 Ea

I would recommend HT for majority Highway driving

my Kumho A/T last like 40,000km on everyday highway driving (~140km\h)

My neighbour's TCC 2.5 Sportero engine started vibrating on the highway like if some broke inside. He immediately pulled aside and called a flat bed tow truck...turned out to be that the balancer belt burst.

Vehicle has never been abused.

Mileage 998xx km.

I have had three customers already since November having the belts burst while driving all below 90K with no vehicle abuse ...

two customers had to change

16 rocker arms =4k and camshaft 4200.00

other customer was lucky only rocker arms ..

plenty of my customers say the frim say 80K now ..cause of the number of damages they getting ..

not sure how true..

Haven't heard of any yet ... Might be too soon to tell.

3.2 4m41 looking as if it's much easier to maintain.

King Kool · Postby **King Kool** » March 26th, 2013, 10:56 pm

Under $100...Save your evaporator!!!......We have the EVERPURE brand A/C filters in stock. Built strong just as the OEM. Activated carbon layer...creates a healthy cabin environment ..absorbs pollutants, ordours, toxins, carcinogens. We can install for you.

Lowest prices on evaporators period.

yes they do. I changed mines last year.
Remove glove box and you should see it being held down by 2 screws i think.
Its about $50-$80

cant speak for the 2.5 because ive never owned one, but my 3.2 has yet to call for an engine part other than maintenance, ive had the vehicle a little over a year and so far put on about 20K km on it, this year makes it 5 years old. I love my 4m41.
