  1. I'm sure that's nice, but $600! I was thinking about getting this one, and comes with a camera. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07VGR5Z4R/ref=ox_sc_saved_image_3?smid=AZV2Q3JGU683F&psc=1
  2. The leftists: If we could just get rid of those polluting filthy humans, imagine what a wonderful world this could be for the children. China: 🤔
  3. Will440, Curious, what's the arcronym over there for clean air and tax gestopo? I'm sure our current administration is frantically scurrying to model something similar and more diabolical!
  4. Never had factory amps as far as I know, bought with aftermarket kenwood head unit and speakers
  5. Not a lot of distortion, just a cheap tinny sound and can't seem to adjust to my liking, if I turn it up to concert level it's not too bad but I don't want to listen it that loud.
  6. By the way, concerning E.T.'s if they're out there, and seems they are, those little pricks need to stop playing games and cough up some technology, come on, throw us a bone!!
  7. Right, I get it, just seems like there would be a way to get some out of the door speakers? My son's '98 sounds pretty good, has no amp and a different double din head unit.
  8. Maybe??, but I just don't see were they're going to come up with all that extra magical electricity?? Make more dams? Burn more coal? Nuke? Extraterrestrial's? Ask Texas how that wind worked out. And how are low income folks, myself included going to afford new electric cars, and believe me you don't want to buy a used one, ever price a new battery for one of those things? It pretty much totals the car. And in the meantime fuel skyrocketing to discourage gassers. Definitely going to be a cluster....!
  9. I attempted to upgrade mine a little a while ago and still not impressed. The kenwood deck was in when I bought last year along with 6x9 Kenwood's and factory rear speakers, it's plenty loud but just sounded tinny. I replaced front with some pyle's thinking it might help.. nope. Then I installed a blaupunkt 4 channel amp thinking those 6x9's needed more power, makes it louder but still tinny. Next I lined the front doors with some dynamat type stuff I got at home Depot, maybe helped a little? BTW, I don't have pillar speakers. Really starting to wonder if it's the head unit? As much as I try to adjust I just can't get any decent bass or "rich" sounding music, (not sure about the terminology?) especially at low volume. I think my Buick's factory radio sounds better. I'm thinking about replacing rear one's with some mid bass components? I'm not really interested in one of those subwoofer boxes that take up the whole rear floor. Very frustrating! I'm not really a audio fanatic, would just like a decent sounding stereo and don't want to spend a bunch. Not sure that's possible anymore? I remember as a kid in the '70s I had a better sounding 8 track deck and "power booster" for about $50 LOL!
  10. Right on bro.^^ BTW, how'd we ever let the govt. Take control of our fuel anyhow?!! Can't help but feel a bit nervous about the price per gallon by the time the puppet has his way.
  11. Well, I just "blew" a .5 out of a failing 40 and I feel all tingly inside! What a waste of time and money!
  12. ^^^^^😂🤣
  13. That's insane! I guess the "people in charge" won't be happy until only the elite can afford to drive vehicles and everyone else is either using mass transit or walking! Our fearless leader is shutting down the gas and oil industry with no alternatives. And I wish people would wake up and realize electric is not the answer! Not sure what is, but??
  14. Hey, just got a quick question about the quadzilla and emissions testing for anyone that might know, I'm sure it's been covered somewhere but?? Just got a emissions test notice in the mail, I live in the big city of Boise Id. were I guess they need all the extra revenue they can get! (At least it's not Cali. ....yet!) Anyhow, first year with the quad, is there anything special I need to do, or a particular setting to satisfy the test? Set to stock? Does it even matter? Do they even care it's on there? Just some questions I hadn't really considered till now. Thanks!
  15. Thanks for the advice! I can't help but feel I'm about 20 years late to the party 🎉
  16. I'll bet your left leg is in a LOT better shape than mine! 😉
  17. Hmmm..🤔 could it have anything to do with the super tight trans.& Stall?
  18. So if 22 is kinda high for cruise load can someone tell me if 27 is high for idling in gear?, (up to temp)
  19. I usually drive on level 2-3 . I think 22 for load is about as good as it gets cruising, I usually see it bouncing from there clear up to close to 30
  20. So the you can't change the load with quad, just adjust quad to load? It's hard to find a flat mile around here plus head winds and all lol! Here's a screenshot of mine going down the road, best I could tell was cruise state, ( not sure how to tell) cruise control on, steady as possible, easier said than done, when I see people talking about going in and out of cruise, that means changing rpm's and?? Here's what I have it set at. See anything obvious to change? Thanks! I'm assuming that check engine light is just one of those things we'll never know? I've seen that, a little confusing, and this is not my daily driver, I've probably not gone through a tank of fuel all winter, I might drive it more if I could get more than 12- 14mpg
  21. I think I ment to say load also, wanted to see the difference on those parameters. trying to get this suck a.. mpg thing figured out and want to see if quad is actually making a difference in load. Too bad a instant mpg guage couldn't have been built-in would make life so much easier.
  22. Again, thanks I got it, it's just that toggling to zero when it was warmed up an having high idle turn on took me by surprise, I didn't know that was a thing, along with the check engine light that's still a mystery, they seem to be connected somehow. My delay was already set to 30sec. I wanted to run stock to see if my cruise timing was any different without quad, then this whole thing sent me into a tail spin.
  23. Thanks, I had to read that 3 or 4 times before it finally sank in LOL. I think I understand what you're saying, we can have high idle on demand whenever wanted, or not wanted in my case, did I miss that in "Instructions", or just a inside trick? I think that was the first time I actually ever toggled to zero? I guess the only other thing that threw me for a loop was when it threw that code the exact same time it went to zero/ high idle mode... Bazar! Thanks again!
  24. Just a little video showing I'm not seeing things, ....or am I? VID_20210221_135448_1.mp4j
