My wife’s 2012 Traverse now has around 160k. The 3.6 are known for oil consumption. And the direct injection motors are “dirty”. The key is to keep the oil change and keep it full. I have to add 1/2 qt. between changes. I told her to trade it, but she said she’s gonna drive it awhile longer....

[quote]Hard to kill the inline 6[/quote] Trust me, I’ve tried in both my Cherokee and Wrangler after I fell off into them 12oz too much. They’ve been the most loyal of any of my 4x4 “backroad riding” all these years. I’ll never sell them....

[quote]I’ve heard that the “smart charging” system[/quote] They claim it for fuel efficiency. GM is big on this. Same as their AFM. I always recommend they buy a canned tuner and disable it or have it flashed off by a tuner. It literally saves you nothing…...

[quote]When you buy a lifetime warranty starter it isn't better than the base model, you just pay for 2 right off the bat.[/quote] Correct. Unless you’re buying OEM, I don’t care if you get it from Amazon, AZ, Oreillys, or wherever. It’s all the same stuff. If you can wait a couple days, I alw...

One of the saddest things I heard in my life was last year. My wife nephew just lost his mom, so she asked could he ride with us to the spring game to get his mind off it some. We’re leaving town and I see a guy that worked for me once walking down the road. I said “Yeah, there old Mike. He coul...

Fortunately, my parents out of my entire family are still together and I speak to them almost everyday. Both are retired now. Mom was a career paramedic, Dad spent almost 50 years in the Gulf on rigs. As for the rest of my family, that’s a big nope. They are the prime example of white trash. ...

No. The one time I knew I was getting fired, I made a phone call, resigned, and was back working for another company the next day. It’s always good to have friends that know you have good work ethics and not a POS. I eventually ended back at that same company years later after they fired the guy ...

I helped out a local DME part time. A few years ago, they asked me to go check out a problem with a patients bed. The guy weighed almost 800 lbs. Couldn’t get out of bed. These are bariatric beds that support up to 600 and are 42” wide. The bed had started sagging in the center and both hand ra...

[quote]Egg layers are not worth it to me. Between the crowing, snakes and daily work, I don't want that crap. And if you live in the country, you get about as many free effort as you'd like. A buddy of mine has layers and he gets 40 every single day. He can't sell them so he just gives them away to ...

[quote]In Louisiana if your license plate has 6 characters 3 letters/3 numbers it is a car. If it has 7 characters 1 letter 6 numbers you can call it a truck.[/quote] I was about to say the same thing. I have a 98 Cherokee and a 00 Wrangler. Both have “passenger vehicle” tags. All my “trucks” ...
