I've used Craftsman for years with no issues. Few times I did need the warranty, no issues. Tools replaced on site with no questions.
Power tools are Kobalt. Have only had them for three years, but zero issues so far.
Compressor is also Craftsman, air tools are IR.
OK, this happened to me today, and I found it interesting...
It was at dusk, and I keep my headlights set to auto. They were on when I pulled into a business for a quick stop. When I came out, got in, turned on car and put it into reverse. The "something behind the car" chime started going...
Either someone at the dealership, or the body shop!! I'm not overly familiar with the internals of the six speed manual, but it sounds like synchronizer rings are crushed.
I can tell you some of my experience with FI just to maybe help a little:
1) I have a TS blown '03 that has 100K on it and has not had a rebuild. It has seen many trips down the 1/4 mile and is a daily driver. Granted, older 2V 4.6 making 412rwhp on an ultra-conservative 11.0:1 A/F ratio...
Put these on the SuperCrew. Not quite as crisp as the 'stangs, but that may also be partly because of the distance from the ground....LOL. Hardest part was convincing myself it was OK to holesaw the doors...
So, here's a theory that just popped into my head: All cars mentioned are from cold regions. Some even have block heaters. Has anyone else ever noticed when OTR trucks use various methods of blocking portions of the grill to maintain more heat in the engine bay? Just wondering if this is...
I would advise against a road trip of that length before getting it fixed! If it is loose, there is the possibility/probability that it could drop further and end up hitting the road surface... Could end up doing a lot more damage.
OK, cleaned with Klean-Strip Auto Prep: http://carkart.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=2147074507&gclid=CJXK7rOlzMMCFQckgQodzoQAGw

In spot mode on the toggle, it will shift on its own. In sport mode on toggle plus select shift, it will shift on its own, unless you touch a paddle first. In that case, it will redline and not shift until you tap a paddle. At least that is what mine does.
Toggle is the metal switch located...
