I’ve got the cap of my SIL’s jeep to redo... the stock finish is blistering.

As a follow up on the cabin air filter.
We’ve had plenty of rain, and it’s been sitting under trees in the driveway, so if it was going to get musty, it would have by now.

Also... was driving behind a tar-pot the other day, and it dawned on me... I don’t smell tar.
Then yesterday I was behind a tow truck dragging a car that must have still had the brakes (partially) on, as smoke was bellowing from one wheel... yet again, no smell.
It used to be that you’d smell anything and everything going on outside on other cars... hot clutch, oil on the exhaust, etc. (a fart from a passing motorcyclist)... but that’s not the case now.
I guess the carbon filter is doing its job... much to my surprise.

Thanks for the review! I am going to order it

Replaced the starter motor on the 8.0.... It's been on there awhile, so, both terminals broke off, as opposed to the nuts coming off..... A job that likely only pays half an hour, took me 5..... but, it's done, and it's a truck again. (the old starter was struggling to roll the motor over.....)

It's a little tiny feller. I have seen window fan motors that are bigger..... I could one-hand it into place. Not what I am used to.

Installed LED lights that you control with your phone and change to white when you open the doors

I don't know...... Didn't have to change one before yesterday. I suspect it is pretty much the exact same thing as the V-8 fellers. A high-torque mini-starter. Gear reduction at that.

I thought the V10 had higher compression so it would require a slightly larger starter , learn something new everyday
