    Different engine for 08 3.7 failure

    Mitsubishi 3.5 & 3.8l V-6 will work as will most early model Pontiac straight sixes. The most common replacement reuses the entire front cradle and drive assy from a 2009-12 Caravan. Apparently, they are bolted in only using six to eight 10 mm bolts. The wiring harness only needs the orange...

    Vibration, shudder, rumble at low RPM in 4th and 5th gear

    We had the same issue with the shuddering as if you were driving slowly over the "rumble strips" on the side of roads. Fourth gear, 1900 rpm and very light throttle would produce a three second shudder. So fast that we didn't have time to drop it down into manual mode to isolate the noise. We...

    Trade 20s for 18s

    I just sold my 2012 Touring but still have the OEM 18" snowflakes mounted with Blizzaks that only have one season (8500 miles) on them. Let me know. I was going to put them on Craigslist since they don't fit my new car.

    Nexen Rodian HP 275/45VR20

    UPDATE - 12,500 not so gentle miles Wet Traction - Still excellent! Noise - Still relatively quiet. Not as quiet but still very good. Wear - 10/32. I am sorta amazed as I am a tire nazi. So far so good! These were DISTURBINGLY cheap tires. Although, I have owned many tires that s*** the bed...

    Nexen Rodian HP 275/45VR20

    Just as Rawyzf said, no rubbing or contact issues. I went with this size because there were more choices. Then I got real cheap and tried the Nexens N'Fera. The jury is still out on those... I too was worried that it would cause the tire to crown since the manufacturer recommends a wider rim...

    Nexen Rodian HP 275/45VR20

    UPDATE - Alright, as the official guinea pig for the Nexen N'Fera Ru5, here's a 6,000 mile update at first rotation. NOISE -Quiet tire not any louder than the awful Bridgeston HL400 and the expensive Michelin Primacy. No muted roar like the Roadians. WET TRACTION - Very good in the rain. I...

    Nexen Rodian HP 275/45VR20

    Update - First 200 miles we could not get these tires balanced. Two different shops and a roadforce failed. Too much roadforce (45lbs). He swapped them out to a new set of Nexen N'Fera Ru5. 65,000 mile warranty Same size 275/45VR20 Initial impressions with approx. 1200 miles on them: Quiet on...

    Spare tire sizes

    Does anyone know if there is a specific spare for the 20" wheels vs the 18? I just switched from 18" wheels to the 20"s and didn't think about changing the spare. Are they the same size? Thanks.

    Nexen Rodian HP 275/45VR20

    I recently bought a set of 20" 10 spokes to replace the 18" snowflake wheels on my '12 Touring model. Since I am buying winter tires for the 18's and needed tires for the 20's, my tire guy suggested I try a set of Nexen HP suv tires on the new 20's for $130 each installed. He claims that his...

    Latitude Tour HP Tires in Snow

    We bought our AWD CX-9 new last March and had a few butt puckering incidents then in snow with the ultra crappy new Bridgestones. We bought a set of the Michelins Lats two months ago thinking they have to be better right? Not a whole lot better. ABS is still constantly triggering and the ass...
