258k miles here on my '08. changed the plugs, front u joints, and front brakes, thats it! runs great, almost all highway miles. the AC compressor vibrates pretty rough at times, but not bad, you can hear it and feel it, but i figure thats just a side effect of it kicking in. the timing could probabl...

my '08 R51 has 258,000 miles on it and im averaging around 16-17 mpg depending on season. The winter I usually end up around 15-16 mpg as the engine runs rich and the gas gets winter additives. The North Dakota winters are killer on gas mileage. I've found that the oil pan heater + synthetic oil + g...

just got off the highway with a tech here at the dealership. He agrees there is something wrong. They r checking the alignment and ensuring everything is tightened and adjusted properly.

I should know more in a bit.

thanks for the reply NVRDONE It seems to be primarily in the right hand lane on the highway. I got my tires checked and rotated 3k miles ago, so they should be fine. I just got off the phone with a guy at Nissan here in town, and they are going to take my truck over night and see if there is somethi...

I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me out. Lately I have noticed that while cruising down the highway, at times, it feels as though the truck is floating left and right, in an almost scary way. It feels as though the rear end is letting go, then grabbing, then letting go, then grabbing aga...

With the amount of highway driving I do weekly and the increasing prevalence of ethanol in the lower octane mixes, I have been running pure premium (highest grade possible, usually 91 or 93 and NO ethanol). If there is no premium available, I will only take as much lower octane as I will need to get...

And that class is our English lesson for the day! We gotta make sure use of proper grammar and sentence formation is used on a car forum!

Here are some quick shots of the Pathy with the Firestone Destination AT's http://img44.imageshack.us/img44/913/1000306m.jpg not the most aggressive but amazingly better on mpg, tracking, and downpour conditions versus the BFG AT KO's overall happy with the choice. Those XD look awesome. These are ...

ur gonna love the destination a/t's. the water performance alone places them ahead of the BFG's.

grats on the pathy. if u r going to make it to Rapid City, SD i highly recommend heading a bit due north up the badlands... u will not be let down. it is amazingly beautiful and as rugged as u want it to be. you can catch 94W about an hour and a half into North Dakota and head West into Montana from...

hey Madrock... i had a friend in New York that came from some pretty "fortunate" family ties that insisted BMW doesnt even start until the 5 series.

lol, i know... i would be more than happy with an M3, we argued about that for years, still do.

Sven1olaf

imo absolutely get an alignment done with a full set of new rubber. also, it is very important to rotate at regular intervals.

i am going to start a 5 wheel rotation at every oil change with my set.
