As if on queue, OEM died today. Costco unit is now 64.99. Still a good deal, and yes they waive the core fee when you bring the old with you. In fact, I just told 'em I had it with me (which I did). Just plopped it in the tire bay with all of the other dead units. Cranks way 'mo better now. Perfect ...

Hey VO, I am going to try cleaning the air flow sensor, see if that clears it up.

Well, mine does the same thing, but not enough of a probelm for me to do anything yet. Mine is in the morning though.

Out with those shortlived SS, in with the hawks. Too much daylight this time of year so have not been able to put them to the true test. Looks good in the garage though

Agree, I keep a pair of Z chains around, they work great and are fast and easy to install. A bit pricy, but I buy mine in the spring when they are moving them out

New Lowe's just opened up nearby! Time to go check out the grand opening and you know what I will be looking for! Great DIY project

ATT has pretty good coverage here in Pac NW, and I have had good service from them. just a few more months on the contract and then we will see what there is to chose from.

Well, that is probably the best "how to" car buying article ever written. Required reading for anyone prowling those dealer lots.

FWIW, I started M1 and figured the 5k interval would be fine. I do 3k on dino oil in the other vehicle.

Not whipped, its Smart, you get what you want or need that way, well, once in a while at least.

44 goin 60, will have 2 teenagers in November Hey Abby, how about a GT 500 w/ 427 Cj?

I don't know, guess I'll listen to a few different beeps to hear if any are in a different location, if not I think the LED is for me!

That was going to be my next mod! Thanks for the head start. Any Pics? My other thought was to hunt for the beeper and add a bit of 200 mph tape (duct) to mute it a bit

Steel, looks like some of the yellow paint has come off on a couple of the letters, must have been painted at the vibe factory

Dealer replaced the whole assembly, was relatively painless. They were a bit suspicious about how it broke, but did not hassel me. Took less than a week to get the part and they installed it in no time at all. Decent dealer experience considering that I did not purchase the vehicle there.Seems to ru...

Need to dump the university of michigan frame anyway, from the prior owner. Anyone want it???

I knew, no Vibe person would consider doing that. Handy where I live, they take the oil away with the trash pick up, along with all our other recycle materials!

Nice Pic, where's the next one of the 12' breaker sweeping it off the road . It's not nice to fool with mother nature.

Hope the neighbors didn't see you chaging the oil into the drainage ditch! You did have a catch pan didn't you?

Yep, the tires, esp with the 55 profile, not much flex there to absorb the minor imperfections in the road. I notice it is very good at transmitting the feel of the exposed aggregate in the concrete pavement around here. Not a bad thing though, ride and handling are great for a wagon.

I have an air intake box on order, so I'll chat with them when they are ready to install it.Seeing yours, I see why mine is of interest! Yes, we had a very nice summer up until this week!

Does the factory alarm module simply plug into a pin connector? I have the power package, but not the security option. I was thinking this might be an easy way to install at least a minimal system, without having to get the soldering iron out.I know my Ford f150 came "prewired" from the fa...

Sylvania Silverstars = Replacement Headlights & (Fogs). Have not driven them at night yet, but man they look bright in the driveway!Fred Meyers = Northwest "mini" super Walmart type store owned by Kroeger (too bad). There must be a few in Washignton?Me= Portland area

Took another look under the light of day, looks like the side of the air cleaner housing serves as a vacuum reservoir for the vsv, and it will be easy to epoxy up the old hole and tap a new fitting into the side.

Hey Nova, good pic, but my busted line is from the top half of the filter box, on the same side as the valve in your pic. Looks like it might help regulate the valve, maybe helping to close it? It has a male fitting for the vac line, but that's the part that is busted. Not enough of it left to put t...

For those that live in the Northwest, Fred Meyers has an unadvertised sale, $17.99 a pop.

Bought this Vibe used and have had it a couple of weeks. I was checking the air filter and noticed a vac line with a broken end. Did not think that was doing much good. Traced it down and it was busted from the back of the air cleaner housing. It T's off from the vac line from the TB housing that ha...
