  I plan on it next oil change. The Ridgeline is about due for an oil change probably next week. 39$ for mobile one. They claim a complete inspection. Brakes are getting close. Timing belt is coming up and the lower control arm bushings are wearing. I want to see what they catch and the cost. They have a five year 50K warranty. After the oil change I’ll check the plug and filter as usually do with a new place.

  That's always been my understanding/practice as well. Low range gives you more torque - if you're traction limited and more torque isn't going to help, and could make it even harder to get traction, then high range can be more appropriate.

  Judging from the rust, that's impact damage that has spread and has been rusting out the roof. Something chipped the paint right at the windshield edge where the heavy rust is and its just been spreading. The rest of that roof looks like bad sun damage and lack of protecting it, or some sort of acid rain damage.

  So when you put the key in and turn it on, do you have anything at all? Radio? Lights? Or when you key it on its dead? Or is everything working and it won't crank?
