NJ B.S. Thread

Just based on the only stuff I've been able to find online...

I still haven't been able to find first hand experience with the chinese versions cracking, not that it's not true... Just can't find proof .

I also thought the Safari and Air Flow America ones were more expensive than they are

 

To be perfectly honest though, thats one of those things i should have checked after a few hundred miles, and i never do that

 

But how will he tell everyone else?

Loctite is an anti-seize.

 

Just throwing this out there

September 6th/7th yak and camp trip
Milford to Stroudsburg
~35 miles down the Delaware water gap

I'm aware of the RC trip however, some might be in the mood for something a bit different... and summers almost over!

 

I just had $5600 worth done on my wife's car at the dealer replacing pretty much the whole top half of the motor. Then they tell me I need new front wheel bearings on both sides.


I just replaced them in June. But RVT is the plan but clean off the old shit looks like it is going to be fun.

Sounds like a good trip.

 

If the bumpers come I'm wheeling that weekend, if not, I'm kayaking. Win win

 

35 miles in one day or camping on the river and splitting it between two days?

have you ever done that stretch of the river or have you ever done that many miles? personally i think the only fun section of the delaware is farther north, and thats a LOT of miles especially if you're trying to do it in one day.

sounds like you need to find a reputable mechanic and stop going to the dealership.

 

Anyone know of a good place to get an oil change in S. Jersey? The Firestone on base sucks, they overfilled my subaru, and its high time the trooper gets changed out.. Gotta drive down to mississippi next month and I dont have the means to do it at my home

 

if you feel like taking a ride to 07755 you can do it at my house. Never done an oil change on the 4 cylinder though.

 

You need to tell my wife that. The only reason the dealer did my oil pan gasket was because they covered it under warranty and same with the wife's car due to the pos 5.3 burning oil since 30k. It's the only reason GM pick up half of the $5600 bill.

^^^ This. Unless you want to come down to the 08204. Looks like I will be doing an oil pan gasket.

 

Should be a good time... so would RC though
Dang, I thought they were splitting the rebuild cost with you?!?

Haha, good plan

Nope, nope and nope
Two day split
Sat(~15mi), river/island camp and finish Sunday(~15mi)
It will still be fun... party pooper
They want to do a 5 day trip next spring... NY to Harrisburg

 

Goddamnit I always wanted to camp on one of those islands. You are going from Milford, PA to Stroudsburg, not Stroudsburg to Milford, NJ correct?

I've gone from Milford to Dingmans when I was a kid and had fun. I've tubed Easton to Milford, NJ which was also a good time too. I wouldn't mind Stroudsburg to Easton.

 

They did, the bill came out to $2400. One day I am going to buy a Yak.

 

It's my island!
Milford, PA to Stroudsburg, PA

 

Yeah Id be down for either but I have no clue where those are

but the concept is the same on a 4cyl only difference is that the oil filter is on the bottom of the truck near the drain plug area (ish)

 

You can pick up a drain pan for like 10 bucks at autozone... What else do you need?

 

Or you can come to 08831.... And my buddy who works at the stealership can get you 12 quarts of 0w20 and 2 filters I think for 80$ and I might be closer to you than Scott or Josh.

 

holy crap!

 

What? Lol thats 2 oil changes for 40$ Ill be doing my oil change soon too... I just went over 4500 miles... Although our engine oil is said to be good for 10k I am changing at 6000 I think

 

yeah I try and keep it around the same millage you are.. especially when I drive cross country, always wanna keep it safe..

but two changes for $40 each with synth is freaking awesome.. sign me up lol
