I'm probably going to take the 2012 Volvo to have it dyno'd next Wednesday/ Thursday. Something inside me is telling me to go with the...
The salesman said I can have it dyno'd. If it blows up on the dyno , the sales dept will be on the hook.
Luckily there's a Clark Power Systems near my house. $300 dyno and maybe $50 more for a couple other diagnostics. He told me about 10 times that...
Im buying my first truck. I will be hauling scrap trailers within a 100 mile radius. No mountains. I've narrowed potential trucks to: 2005...

I'll find out in the morning. Was the ASET/AC 355/380 really made for flats? I've gone over these mountains (Appalachians) heavy (well 80k) in...
Is it really? I drive a pinnacle now and it pulls really well in the mountains when I'm at 80k. Tell me more before I make a big mistake.
