Bridgestone tires. good or bad? My experience.
You get what you pay for. The tires that come with the vehicle, car or SUV, are basic crap tires. If you get 10K out of them you’re lucky. Low end, basic tires are just to get it off the lot and down the road a ways. I always go with premium, high quality tires. In the long run they last longer... -

Motor Mounts
I replaced my 2012 Yukon SLE (5.3L) motor mounts at 100k. They were hydraulic and one was leaking, so I replaced both. The hydraulic ones have a lot of problems, so I went with the old rubber/steel ones. No problems after 3.3K miles.- bill1013

Problem with keyless entry, unlock does not work on all my fobs.
Sounds like the trans/recvr unit is bad. My 99 Tahoe LT had the same trouble. What made it worse was the new one was bad too! Took a while to get one out here but it finally came and all ended well. Aloha!- bill1013

Crack in radiator
Barr’s may help until you can get a new radiator. Spend the extra time and money and get the completely metal radiator. They are expensive but they won’t crack like the OEM ones. And I speak from experience. My 99 Tahoe’s radiator cracked on the plastic side on the top. The OEM replacement...- bill1013

MILEAGE POLL
It’s paid for and I’ll keep it for as long as either one of us lives. Plus, at 129K, I don’t want to say anything nice and jinx it.- bill1013

Auto Theft
As my grandfather used to say, “Locks only stop honest people. If they want it they will find a way to take it.” A big tow truck comes to mind in your case. Get good, really good insurance. And enjoy your ride!- bill1013

TPMS Relearn Problems
Here’s the one I use. I got it on Amazon for $13. I have learned through experience that after you’re done remove the 9 volt battery before you store it. Also, weak batteries cause all sorts of weird problems, so make sure the 9 volt has a good charge before using. Mine hasn’t failed me in the... -

Not Really News, Bigger Vehicles Are More Dangerous
A tall, raised pick up truck overturned in Waikiki a few weeks back. The guy was racing down Kalakaua Ave, doing around 45 mph, when he made a sharp turn to miss a car that was turning in the lane in front of him. He turned sharply and the truck flipped over several times and ended up on its...- bill1013
