Decided it's time is even more likely limited. 2017 CX9 photos leaked. Seats look nice. I like the copper/titanium color combo inside, hope it's available on the colors I'll want. Still 3 or 4 hours until the real pics release with frost drive reports.

It looks bloated, I doubt that's a real picture.

Ahem.... Let's see....

Still looks better than any Subaru ever made. :lol: (excluding BRZ).

 

 

Here is one after a (dirty!) transport, before detail.

Picked up a used dresser with hutch and a chest last night. Fortunately I remembered to grab enough ratchet straps to keep everything tied down. Seems my truck is being used a truck more and more often lately. Sweet!

They make some good looking cars, IMO.

Went to a local lake to drown some worms, but mostly just enjoy the beautiful November Florida weather.

I was friggin' freezing in the Panhandle! Just north of Panama City. Was in the upper 40's my first night there. Next day was much better at 76° - I could really get used to that! Love it down there.

 

Was 26° back home the following morning. :nonod:

 

 

 

 

Both Mazda and Subaru have some sweet looking equipment out there now! Impressive. I could be seen in either one of those. :D

Press shots rolling out. One thing gives me pause: 250HP...although it makes up for it with 310 Torque. Saying it lost almost 200 pounds so it should still be quicker. 1100.jpg

 

Will tow 3500#......what kind of moron buys a mid lux 4 cyl Crossover to tow 3500#.....

LMAO! I discovered that too when we moved down here in 2011. And lizards.... They are everywhere and in everything. The one good thing is the lizards eat the huge Florida bugs so I don't mind them as much.

I looked at a 2015 CX3, before I bought the Escape, and I didn't mind the exterior, but the interior suffered from the same old shitty and cheap Mazda interior. And unless they started using a different process on the bodies, they'll be rusted out in 5 years. And not surface rust on the frame, I mean holes in the body…

 

I looked at the XV from Subaru as well, and I did like it, but the interior seemed dated, not as cheap as the Mazda, but dated… I actually kick myself for not buying it instead, because this Escape has put the last nail in the Ford coffin for me, never again… Complete garbage…

Neighbor has an '09 Escape. I don't blame you there, having worked on this thing a couple times. Ford took a painfully simple design that has been around for decades - the door latch - and incorporated cheap plastic and electronics. This not only made it unreliable, but STUPIDLY expensive at the same time. $340 at Ford - cannot be disassembled to repair the .00001 cent chinese plastic part that broke. Nope! Have to replace the whole assembly. What a friggin joke! Plus, it took 45 minutes for me to extract it. :nonod:

 

Edited the price - I was $100 too high, but still stupidly priced!

FUgly!

Yeah, it doesn't have more chrome than a fleet of Escalades driven by gangsters. :lol:

 

Everyone has their own taste. Just go to wal mart :lol:

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
