Oh and I forgot. I have a Dodge at the moment. Was cheap and I needed a trk. Doing ok for me tho. Military grade axles with 12 ply tires running 80 psi. It will haul a load!!Is that a single wheel Chevy or a two wheel??
My dream truck is a 5/4 military trk with the smelly diesel removed and a good running 454 it's place. I can't stand the smell of diesel fuel or exhaust and I refuse to pay those kind of repair bills. I can do anything I need to on a gasser myself and it would haul/ pull anything I ever would want to.
I know I'm the odd man out, but hey you like what you like!
I replaced the batteries in my previous 2003 BMW 330XI and the 2007 Audi A4 Quattro without using a jumper pack and didn't have any problems. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the newer ones would have issues. Although if your battery went completely dead wouldn't that also screw up the car's settings if that was the case?

Cut Split Stack Burn
That is a blessing when doing timing belts!! I’ve done a few on Audi’s
Love that design!! It sure beats all the minivans that you had to remove all the cowl to do anything!
Now I've not seen a super split, just fiskars. ( which I like as long as we're not talking big hickory etc.) except for the midget handle. How long are the handles on a super split?
While we're on the Volvo subject, is anyone else here in the marine industry?? Personally, I think they suck compared to their competitors.
Yep...when replacing the battery there's basically a reset that needs to be done so the vehicle knows what kind of battery it is and that it's new. It affects the charging strategy. If you put a new battery in without doing that the new battery will effectively be overcharged.
I have bumper envy!!
Let me tell ya... the hardest part is not using it on some knucklehead who desperately deserves it!

Found a 3 quart dutch oven. $57 and change one place. $68 and change another. Kept lookin. Found it on Amazon at 57% off. $29 and change. Still I thot free would be better. Applied for an Amazon store card and got a free $100 gift card. Will not be using the CC for anything, but $100 in free stuff works for me. Got this so far:

Here's a newer one for you, 3.0 TSFi. I've done chains on 4 of these. The engine has to be removed to access them at the rear of the engine. I would classify these as a royal PITA.
Not my pic...
The Jettas are pretty straightforward, especially the TDIs. Basically, the fancier and more expensive the model the repairs are more difficult and expensive.
At least the 441 has some powerThen the ms441 said hold my beer.
The 192 rear handle I have apart is pretty bad too
Getting paid makes it worthwhile for the mechanic anyhow. Still think of the millions of hours of unneeded labor each year repairing things that were overengineered.
would depend on how dead the battery was. The memory should still function down below 12 volts. I want to say like 7 or 8 volts the ecu shuts down completely to protect its self. Idk how that would effect the memory. Newer vehicles I don't have much of any experience with though.
Just volvo industrial diesels, had a few Perkins Saber marine engines I worked on from time to time, coupple of cat marine engines never a volvo marine though.
Ugg, nuts on that.
If you know it in advance. They just told me I could not do it, I found out from one of my clients who was a BMW service mgr.
Plus, the auto parts store would not sell me the battery!
The BMW was stone cold dead. The Audi wasn't.
The SuperSplit is a 2 1/2 second kinetic wood splitter. It can be bought with a gas motor or electric motor. I have been using one of these for over 25 years now. Mine is the same as this fairly new one, just more war torn looking.
