ECO mode has to do with the TC lock-up, and idle speed (since TC is locked up), with minor changes in shift points. I personally drove it with ECO off because I spent 95% of my time on the highway with cruise on. ECO=+1 mpg according to GM around town IIRC. To me it was not worth that.

99% of the gasoline purchased in the US has up to 10% Ethanol...You pay extra for non-ethanol fuel, which is typically only found near boating communities these days. I run a FF 3.6, I switch between E85 and regular all the time w/o issues or worries, the motors are designed to run on this...

You will need... 3800 Motor Tranny w/ said motor (4T65-e HD) Entire engine wiring harness ECM/PCM depending on year of motor

Most intakes infact do just this, I've had dyno's done before where the intake actually caused a reduction in HP. They are nice for noise, but typically other restrictions are in place before the intake flow becomes an issue. I do like the sound on a Turbo/Supercharger though :), debating...

Agree with everyone else post...Most shops are not putting in the correct amount of oil, prime example was Thursday I had my Impala in gettings its oil change, I see the bill and notice they only charged for standard fill, so I asked the counter guy if they put in the required 6 vs 5, he looked...

Its actually an older dslr, Cannon XSI

Which island?

Just got back from spending 3 weeks out in Hawaii for work, I was able to take a 3 day weekend trip to the big island (one of the islands I've wanted to visit badly) Kilauea Lava Flow by grometsc, on Flickr A 500ft waterfall to go with it IMG_1736 by grometsc, on Flickr Definitely my...

I know exactly what you mean :) I recently had a tank average of 42mpg (miles/fuel purchased) in a trip. Broke over 550 miles a tank on that one (only have a 14.1gallon tank). Was funny to be stoked about that :)

Its a common practice to go down for winter set It will not void your warranty. You will not have any settings that need changed (other than TPMS-tire pressure monitoring system) if you keep similar rolling diameters. Options for Rims 1) Find a set for 17" OEM Rims used (terrain/nox) 2)...

I agree with the resale value, but that is just about any SUV/CUV these days. And nice...a Vue with the good motor in it! Sure it had issues (after all it was a Honda Motor/Tranny which was the major problem with those setups LOL)...But it was very quick for its class! My sister had a 2004...

On Black Granite In-Channel design is the only way to go imho

I will go with this type of MPG @ 75mph :) Top is AVG MPG since start-up (37miles ago as I fueled up) Bottom is Instant MPG Edit: I have not made the 600 club yet, its just a matter of finding the perfect climate (its HOT still here) and a good drive to make it. So far the highest I've gotten...

I was not impressed with the 3.0L SRX, it had better gearing, but it was a slug vs the 3.0L Nox. I drove both, but i will state they do have a HUGE difference between them, besides the obvious body panels. I always wanted the Turbo SRX, but it was well out of what I would be willing to pay for a...
