  1. Great topic. The car seems to have great traction in the normal mode. Are people finding that they only ever use the diff changes when they are truly offroading or on extra slippery snow & ice roads as well? I am headed to the snow for the 1st time in our CTT (with new performance snows) and am wondering if I should just drive like I did with our AWD turbo Subaru wagon on snow or should I be engaging some diff? Thanks in advance.

  2. My tires drive dramatically different in cold temperatures. They feel like wagon wheels for the first few miles as they warm up in the morning. Have less traction and never seem to warm unless it is over 45F.

    i just had a pair of bridgestone re960 pole positions put on yesterday. I only paid $440 b/c of a screwup in another set i was going to buy.

    The only thing that alarmed me this morning was, the car seemed to sway more on the highway. I t made me nervous to hit 90.

    BUT it was 35 degrees out this morning and i don't know if these cars hate the cold weather or if it was b/c i just completed the cv boot service.

  3. I swapped from Pirelli neros to Toyo T1Rs. The dealer recommended N-rated tires, but after reading about how the N-rating was created I did not see the value for lack of selection.

    Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 rated the same for dry performance and similar for wet. I really needed wet performance living in Oregon.

    As you can see from the tread pattern, wet traction is fabulous. I pound through puddles where I drove up them with the Neros. Breakaway is very smooth and dry traction is fabulous.

  4. Awesome write up!

    Wish you were local.

    Thanks for the write-ups!

    How long did it take you for each bearing? (esp. the part from rotor off to rotor back on.)

    Thanks again!

    First one took almost 8 or 9 hrs. I couldn't figure out how to get the axel out of the wheel carrier. Then i hit it with a hammer and loosened it. Last resort worked.

    The other side took only 2.5hrs start to finish. Thats including taking pictures. And working by myself. Certainly having 2 people would make things go easier.

  5. Code please & thank you

    Try 2615

    or

    2613

    thank you for the fast reply. I missed the reply last night as I kept refreshing the previous page; need to set my options to email me I guess. I tried both numbers and they did not work. I will try again in an hour after the reset.

    :renntech:

    sooo I waited a 2.5hours (after trying it at 1 and 1.5hrs) with the car turned off and the keys out and the WAIT is still on. Hmmm. Searched other threads and do not see any recommendations. Ideas?

    I drove to the dealer to get the code and ask about the WAIT that would not stop. They said that the key had to be in the car, in the on position for 60+ minutes to reset. Hope that helps someone else.

    They said that they could not just look up the radio code with either the serial or the vin. It would take a tech's hour = $100. They did call the dealer where I bought the car used to see if they had the code-no luck. So I will just try a few codes for a couple days and decide if I go pay $100 this weekend.
