Originally posted by snab_snib modern stock AWD for suv's is perfectly sufficient for driving around in bad weather and crummy roads, and i've seen very very few issues with them. they don't need to be any stronger than they are. it'd just be more expensive with no benefit.
what i mean is dual clutch central differential AWD transmissions don't fail any more than regular transaxles or RWD transmissions. and combined with ESC, they provide the absolute best solution for sub-optimal driving conditions and automated corrections in dangerous situations. what i see most often when vehicles come in with traction control and ESC related diagnostic trouble codes is wheel speed sensors. this problem isn't unique to AWD vehicles, but it does make the computer panic more than normal because it relies on that information for safety on a constant basis, rather just in traction-loss events.
some of these sensors are easily replaced by a retard on his driveway. others are cap-type that require you to remove the wheel bearing. which a retard can do, and NAPA will loan you a slide hammer to do it, but you'll probably take it to a mechanic, and they'll probably charge you 2-3 hours labor and the sensor costs 75-150 dollars.
i've never seen a differential fail in a AWD system on a modern suv. automatics are more likely to have a 'failure' than a manual only because torque converters aren't considered a wear item and i've seen TCCS (torque converter clutch solenoids) and that thing that adjusts tension based on detected RPM slip between crank and TC likes to go bad. of course, manual clutches are considered a wear item, but the problem is that many shops don't like to work on automatic transmission guts. dealerships will often simply give you a quote for a new transmission and the old one gets remanned. but they can be serviced if that happens. find a shop that likes to do trannie refurb.
so, no, AWD isn't 'less reliable' than any other transmission system. within it's intended use case, and in modern designs, it's both highly effective and sturdy. it's just not for hauling - it's for managing bad road conditions. if i had to bet on which vehicle is gonna need service first i'd bet on the old truck in a heartbeat.
You say "modern"
where does say, a 2005 and a 2010 fit into this equation? -

2020-02-29 at 2:53 AM UTC in Shopping for a new car/truckSo, I'm NOT an independent contractor, I'm an employee (we are going to IOC very shortly) for a delivery company, but they made us give them proof of personal insurance, which I have. I thought I read on the website that they guaranteed liability towards the other driver just like uber so I didn't worry about getting a commercial endorsement (retarded, yes) but I can no longer find that webpage and they just told me "no we don't have anything for you, you're required to have your own to drive with us".
long story short my insurance company was told by other driver that I was driving for my job during the accident so they know, but I can't get ahold of them till Monday to figure this out now. -
2020-02-29 at 1:11 AM UTC in Shopping for a new car/truckCigreting are you saying a 2WD S10 or a Dakota would hold up better driving on minnesota shitroads all day errday than a AWD CR-V or the like?
How are foreign made suvs compared to domestic? -

Originally posted by cigreting Dude who the fuck do you think is going to finance him?

He will need to get SR-22 and even then the insurance rates are going to be higher than shit on any vehicle he buys
I have insurance I just dont have commercial endorsement insurance which I thought they gave me and they know I was working cuz the other guy told them I was. -

Drugs Forum is so comical because in every single thread they'll respond to the question with "UTFSE!!!!!!!11!!!!1!1!1!11!!!@1@@1@" and then the search engine is so broken it can't pull up the simplest question you can think of -

Originally posted by Rear Naked Joke Lol I tried to order one and I see the trick: the actual bongs are more reasonably priced, like $30-60ish but they "$7" is some accessory in the listing. That actually seems reasonable because no FUCKING way you can sell a whole bong, with free shipping to the USA, for fucking $7 and not have AIDS glass.
Now I'm interested.

Originally posted by snab_snib get the lowest mileage pre-owned certified hyundai santa fe AWD you can afford. that way, whatever happens, you are guaranteed 100% a working vehicle up to 100,000 miles. and they're cheap as shit. they're not small, either. there's a used car dealership that sends a lot of their warranty stuff our way, and i've never even heard of someone servicing the AWD transaxle or differential. usually it's a coil pack, on the 2.0 basically everything on the car is warranty under 5 years/60k miles, and the essential stuff that makes the car go forward is covered to 10 years/100k miles.
unless you're smart enough to know a good used car and do work if it needs it, a used hyundai is your most fiscally responsible choice for that reason. what you want is the 2015 V6 3.3 liter AWD santa fe. they have a slightly larger body. they're available for between 9,000 and 14,000 dollars unless you get lucky, and of course your payments would be based on your credit score, but you can probably swing 220 a month. that's with 30-40 thousand miles on the odometer, meaning you have 60-70 thousand miles to drive where you will never have to pay for any expensive work on your car, and if it breaks, you'll have a loaner while the dealership or service center fixes it.
Yeah thats a little more than i wanna i spend considering i could go completely broke here. With as much driving as i do that thing doesnt quite get the mileage i want. Neither do 4WD pickups.
2005 AWD CRV gets 22/27 which seems quite good for 15 years ago. Would be more in price range. -
2020-02-28 at 7:58 PM UTC in Shopping for a new car/truckThe reason I'm so fucked is because I was driving for work and the oyher guy told my personal insurance that I was driving for work at the time but I don't have a commercial endorsement through them and my company told me they don't carry liability for their drivers which is fucking retarded because I'm actually an employee of them, not just a contractor. I never would have done it otherwise.

Originally posted by Kuntzschutz It doesn't take too many unless you have some kind of crazy opiate/opioid tolerance. You can get a surprisingly large amount from the purple ones, but you're better off with persian whites or some other domesticated strain, because they're faster and easier to grow. I've grown the wild one indoors, it's ridiculously easy and responds well to artificial lights. It's a beautiful plant too. My plants were super fucking potent.
People plant opium poppies all over my city every year, but it's only a few people that maintain potent crops, and so it's better to just grow them yourself.
If you have room to let them reach full size, outdoors or indoors, grow 100 or more, or an acre or more. You'll end up with an insane amount.
Yeah, see how are you supposed to grow an acre and go unnoticed? If you hide them under shade then they won't grow, right? -
2020-02-28 at 6:45 PM UTC in Shopping for a new car/truckI drive for a living so i need something that will hold up driving around in Minneosta winters on the god awful broken pot hole infested minnesota roads, so I do want decent gas mileage but I also want something that won't be a repair pit like my tiny cars were. I'd rather not have to splurge on an extended cab, but I'd also like to be able to haul groceries and other shit where it won't get stolen so maybe SUV is the way to go.
Yes, I'm leary of AWD, I've heard it can cause more problems than it alleviates and don't really know why it exists.
Just a compact pickup, mind you. -
