Okay, now I've seen photos of the Durango I bought. And I like what I see.

Kinda. Now that I've learned that the predicted low temp is consistently about 10 degrees too high. Which I definitely have no problem with.

Has anyone ever trusted a forecast?

I understand. It has to be nicer to enjoy the shade in the park and feed the alligators.

Maybe considered best by many, but not by people that really know this stuff. Which is how I found out. There's at least one other lab that's both better and less expensive.

Looks like I might have remembered correctly. Did a quick search and found this. "I sent Blackstone a virgin sample of Audi 0W-30 fully synthetic oil. It was clearly labeled as Virgin 0W-30 oil. As you can see from the report below, they thought it was a 10W-30, but also stated it could be a...

There's something that Blackstone uses some sort of algorithm for rather than actually testing. I just don't remember what. That's why I went with another lab, wanting all the actual results.

Is that the value that Blackstone uses a formula for, rather than an actual test?

That's what I go by. I don't give a damn about resale values, what other people think of them, or... If I like them and have fun with them, that's all I care about.

Still much better than a Hornet.

It's like those pesky tailgaters, following your speed and every move. Except in a useful way.

I used to flat tow my Jeep, with freewheeling hubs on all four. Then I found out about something called trailers. They are absolutely great for towing vehicles on or in.

All my posts are done correctly. More or less.

Without going out to look, I'd say there's normal high range AWD, high range 4WD, Low range 4WD, and Neutral. More than enough to allow flat towing.

Got an email about a Grand Cherokee, or maybe it's a Grand Wagoneer, that's $40K off of MSRP. It's a 4Xe, so that explains why it's hard to sell, and it's black. Could be used locally as a hearse I suppose.

I can't even remember the last time I saw a vehicle before buying it. Although, usually there has been photos of it to look at.

Me too. Because it's either just fine, or has a new transmission.

Yes, the driveshaft will still turn, but with the transfer case in Neutral the transmission won't. Actually, as I recall it should be in Park.

With the transmission not turning, there's no reason for the fluid to get cooled.

The dealer doesn't even have a photo of the Durango I just bought, so I can only include the press photo they used in their ad. It's a '19 GT AWD Plus with 90,000 on it. Supposedly it looks like this. Or at least used to.
