Troof, I had a couple but I gotta watch how deep I go as all the X Honda posse boys will gang up on my arsz.
I'm definitely impressed with the gf's crv. Has just over 50k on it now and has needed nothing except tires and a battery which the dealership popped a new one in for nuffin.

Just imagine how many transmission shops have thrived on the various pos Dodge trannys...
Their sh*tty transmissions are how that lifetime warranty thing came about in the early 2000s. They had to offer that to get people to buy that absolute sh*t product. I wish they hadn’t done that, They would’ve sailed into the sunset like they should have.

just cause you had bad experiences with dodge doesn’t mean they are all that way. Every brand has there share of issues. Guess some just get over it while your stuck on it


I can assure you that GM builds some good quality junk.
But their van seats are spectacular.

Lol. My nephew by marriage bought a new ram because of that warranty. 3 years ago I think it was. He was so sick and tired of having to use said warranty he traded it in in a new Ford f150 with the 5.0.

I got your back Tim!

Your truck ain't a truck bro. Can't tow a house or crawl the Rubicon trail. You should have gotten a car if you don't want a real truck.....
My only real issue with Honda's is that they engineer some of the best driveline stuff, but fall short on suspension adjustability. Our RB Odysseys have both had Cusco rear camber arms added by me, and when i was an aligner we shimmed the rear arms of so many CD Accords (5th Gen) i can't begin to guess. Also had to loosen the front subframe on most CDs and shuft it across to even the camber up.

Exactly why I got rid of all my Hondas. Could never keep the suspension quiet. Interiors are very utilitarian. Yeah, they run forever but I don't ride in the engine compartment.

I hear ya kiwi. I just worked around my front sub frame for a week. Would like to know how to shift it on the chassis!! Camber is tilt right. Are you talking caster, fore or aft positioning?? The independent suspension is what I like the most on this old girl. These tires got 65k on them roughly. Yes I rotate for sure LOLIMG_20210719_111707952_HDR.jpg IMG_20210719_111659565_HDR.jpg

Not familiar with a Ridgeline (sp?) but on the CD Accords the front subframe was attached to the body at four points. We would undo the bolts and then jab a large bar in against whatever and pry/lever/move the subframe on its bolts in the direction that suited us for camber. Long time ago now but i seem to remember a third of a degree was possible (whatever you take from one side goes to other) because lower arms are attached to subframe but upper arms are on monocoque. Put the tight back in the bolts and bask in the awesomeness of adjusting the un-adjustable.
Bigger vehicle might require a more HD solution, but hopefully you get the jist.

Well…DoD folks are back to mandatory mask wearing, whether fully vaccinated or not. And soon to follow down the pipeline…if you want to keep your Fed Govt job, you will be vaccinated. If not, you know where the gates are, and that’s exactly where you’re heading.
