    Tow truck broke something?

    So a squirrel chewed through my wiring harness and i had a tow truck take my x to the dealership. Now i have to push the shift lock button with a key to get it out of park. What could have been damaged as i wasn’t available when they towed and the car was dragged. Thanks

    To Sticker or not to Sticker - that's the Q

    I have a friend at work that has a gazillion brewery stickers on his rig but only ones that the rig has been to. Stickers are for fun. Use em if you like em.

    Stupid brakes

    I dont remember which pad i used but i know i avoided metallic and bought a more expensive pad especially since i upgraded tire/wheel size. Im more concerned with the other noises that have become more noticeable. Could a caliper failure be to blame? It seems to be only the front driver that...

    Wipers acting goofy

    So i replaced my battery and now my wipers are mixed up. If i pull the lever back the windshield gets sprayed and the rear wiper moves. If i push the lever away the rear window gets sprayed and the front wipers move. Anyone have a suggestion on how to correct this?

    How to remove uca driver rear bolt without cutting

    When removing the drivers side uca the rear bolt cannot be removed and it seems pretty standard to cut it and replace it from the other side. During the process of replacing my uca’s i found that my angle grinder wouldnt fit in the available space to cut the bolt. I was able to remove that...
