    2003 Acura MDX

    Lucky me we are far enough into the mountains to be RTA exempt. But if I lived where the shop is then I'd have to pay. I'm guessing since we'd both have the same engine with the same compression ratio, that the Pilots 86 octane vs the MDX 91, is probably a result of different PCM programming...

    Heater Core how to

    Your welcome. I used the standard parts store aluminum unit, which didn't fit great, but I was able to make it work. Had I know about the summit racing unit I might have gone that route, seems like ya'll have had good luck with it.

    2003 Acura MDX

    Oh good, I was hoping someone would post that has owned the same generation MDX. How well does the AWD work in these vehicles? Obviously I realize the MDX is closer to a car, and my Jeep is closer to a truck, so I'm sure the MDX's AWD is not going to be quite as good as the Jeep's, my concerns...

    Frame mounted Trailer Hitch for Step bumper

    Look up your vehicle on etrailer.com Even if you buy one from another vender that is cheaper etrailer will so you options from several manufactures. I have a Drawtite #41938 which is a class 5 hitch rated for 1,500lb hitch weight and 15,000lb trailer weight. WAYYY more than I'd ever tow...

    Some help finding these types of lights.

    From this distance they just look like cheap fog or driving lights. If you take them apart you might find a manufacture inside the housing. I'd suggest a better option in a similar style would be to get set of hella 450's or 550's depending on the size you want, the 450's would be about the...

    2003 Acura MDX

    The only real deal I've gotten off market place was my softopper. Other than that, yes CL. Look a lot of farm related stuff on CL and also sell a bit. Whenever I advertise turkeys for meat, or eggs it's on CL, Fucketplace won't let me advertise birds for meat or eggs, because it's against...

    2003 Acura MDX

    Ok, then you'll have first crack at it if we decide to sell it. Thanks. It's actually so clean inside, I kept thinking to myself when I drove it a bit on Thursday that I'm going to be putting my dirty boots on the floor and the dogs in the back, and it's sooo clean now! lol. I hope you are...

    What is this?

    It's just a power distribution point, nothing more. Has nothing to do with the heater. FYI we just had another thread on this a few weeks ago....

    2003 Acura MDX

    I agree with all of that. I definitely prefer older American rigs. To me it's the Jeep vs the MDX, as the MDX appears to be better suited for most of my needs, it's just like you said it feels like it has the character of a kitchen appliance. It's not my style at all. My only real concern is...

    2003 Acura MDX

    Well I need a distraction from the BS going on in my life right now so I thought I'd start this thread just to discuss my unexpected new car! I wasn't looking for a new automobile this thing just fell into my lap and I couldn't say no. It's a 2003 Acura MDX, that was owned by a customer of...

    What is you headlight setup

    We have the same setup, but I also have the Hella 550 (clear) fog lights. As for the difference between sealed beam halogens and the Hella buckets with 9003, the difference is huge! My truck went from having the worst headlight out of all of my vehicles, to the best.

    IDK, but I have that exact filter you mentioned so I guess I'll give those a try and see how they work out.

    350 vortec 5.7 lower intake leaking vacuum?? Help please

    I have those on the shelf at the shop, I had noticed sometime back that they'd physically fit a small engine, just never knew if it was ok, thank you!

    350 vortec 5.7 lower intake leaking vacuum?? Help please

    Ok you have gotten a lot of good advice, so I won't duplicate any of that, but I'll try to mention only stuff that has not been mentioned. Obviously you had issues with the intake and you are getting that taken care of which is great. Getting the updated spider injection is a must do, I'd put...

    1987 Chev R20 Electrical

    If the question is will the engine run fine without the air pump then the answer is yes, it won't effect engine operation. From an emissions stand point, both the air pump and the catalytic converter can be installed separately and each will work to clean up the exhaust, but together they do...

    1987 Chev R20 Electrical

    If you have a catalytic converter on the truck and want it to work properly I'd strongly recommend keeping the air pump.

    tow rating - '90 2500 Suburban

    In the back of my head when I was writing that, I hoped you'd have something to say about it. Thank for that info. I'm curious what you mean by "launch" Was there a particular speed you guys looked for going up the hill, or was it stopping and ability to get the load going again?

    tow rating - '90 2500 Suburban

    We live in a semi-rural area or at least what's left of us. There is a valley between us the major cities and that river floods so I know what you are talking about. We get some snow, but a lot of rain so there is plenty of mud, but good AT tires, and knowing how to drive the truck though...

    Towing with a 305 V8?

    I would hop in my truck and drive it across the country tomorrow if I needed to without a second thought. And I'd tow across the country if I needed to as well. Some of my feed hauls are 100+ miles towing 6K. I would not want to tow that much weight across the country, just because it's slow...

    tow rating - '90 2500 Suburban

    It's like that across the board the R vs V's and C vs K's The 2wd units always have a higher towing compacity at least to some degree. At the very least there is less drive train weight and who knows what else they figure in. I have a C series and most of the farms I tow my 18 foot trailer...

    How can I close the blend door, when driving in the winter season I notice that when I turn down the blower motor it gets extremely cold.

    @squaredeal91 Thanks for bringing me in to this thread. I'm not sure that I can specifically answer @Maniac question but the heater core thread is here: >>>> https://www.gmsquarebody.com/threads/heater-core-how-to.40744/ <<<<< If you flip though my posts on that thread you can see the...

    1996 Grand Cherokee transmission rebuild & on to other stuff

    With the exception of an odd trip here and there the Jeep has been in park my last update. I'm now looking down the barrel of some potential financial strain so I need to start driving the Jeep more, for a couple of reasons. One is to take wear and tear off the truck of the day to day commute...

    Heater Core how to

    My core didn't line up perfectly either, but a little fiddling with it did the trick for me.
