    best blurtooth scan software for iphone

    It's been a while since I've done my research on this but I believe the best option on iPhone is DashCommand with the in-app purchase of extended codes for GM vehicles. The app has a very antiquated UI but does the job.

    Power Steering Fluid... wth!

    The fluid looks like a "normal" old fluid. Mine looked similar. Is your rig really so rusty that you were afraid to disconnect the line from the PSF cooler and go the steering-wheel-pumping route? https://gmtnation.com/forums/threads/transmission-fluid-flush-power-steering-fluid-flush.12641...

    Got rear-ended. 9-7X rear bumper cover job tips?

    Yep, that was the thing hanging there ;) The EU mandates rear fog lamps so I have to have it (more useful than front fogs IMHO, people's taillights do a shitty job more ofthen than not). Fortunately the bumper has a carving on the left lower side for it -- is it some specialty for exported...

    Got rear-ended. 9-7X rear bumper cover job tips?

    So I got rear-ended by a guy who wasn't keeping proper distance. I must say he punished himself pretty well... :) I will be getting money from his insurance company (instead of letting any of their associated shops work on it - none of them ever saw this car and have no idea where to get...

    2004 Bravada stuck in AWD permanently -- FIXED

    Plus there is the Saab rear LSD and almost 50/50 weight distribution which themselves are things that help a lot in winter. If I understand it correctly just removing the encoder motor will solve nothing. The TC is engaged and if the motor is dead or is not present there is nothing to...

    Youtubers quitting

    Wow, when ETCG quits it must be something... I'm afraid that's not going to be the case. There's plenty of dubious content that has no real practical value but generates shitload of money, all kinds of stupid lifestyle youtubers etc... When I look at what younger people watch, the numbers of...

    Saab 9-7x: Disable DRL easily

    My 9-7X does use the headlights as DRLs and for perimeter lightning, but that's probably because it was first sold here in Europe and using turn signals as DRLs would not have been in accordance with the european law, AFAIK. I also have small parking lights bulbs in front of the high beam...

    Selling the Envoy, buying an Escape :)

    I already have :wink: (it's a non-issue with two seats but we'll soon need to drive with 3 ...I'm not planning to change vehicle anytime soon but if I'm forced by outside circumstances I was thinking about this platform and therefore I'm asking)

    Selling the Envoy, buying an Escape :)

    Interesting, I've heard different stories. But then again Jeep is a different class of vehicle, to be fair. Not sure what "nannies" you have in mind. Wheel braking? When not locked the system was purely mechanical, utilizing silicone fluid. I would love to have that instead of the stupid...

    Selling the Envoy, buying an Escape :)

    Not sure about these newer versions but the first generation of Mazda Tribute - the almost identical twin of the Escape/Maverick (EU) - was unbelievably good off road, given it's a crossover, essentially. It's a simple no-bullshit car with a relatively bullet-proof lockable AWD. I actually have...

    Torque for iOS

    Is it in US app store only? Can't find it :sadcry: I hope it's temporary... EDIT: I also see no mention of iOS or iPhone anywhere on https://torque-bhp.com/ Are you sure an iOS version has been released? Where does that info come from?

    HVAC blower set to windshield + feet, A/C off, compressor still kicks in

    As an example: It's a well known fact that overheating your home results in dry air and is not good for your respiratory system... so how is heating adding moisture? Also, as @Mooseman mentioned and I experienced, there just aren't that many occasions in cold months when you need it. I only...

    HVAC blower set to windshield + feet, A/C off, compressor still kicks in

    Will any of this set any codes or error messages on DIC or something? I went through the last winter without A/C and didn't have a single issue defogging and defrosting my windshield. A/C is especially useful when defogging in the warm months because you cannot help yourself by heating (and...
