Yes, same bezel.

It is ironic that with the massive investment in battery technology for electrification, the plain ‘ol 12v car battery is falling behind. I got 3 years to the month on my June 2020 truck batteries. Meanwhile, the battery on my 2016 tractor that is stored outside in the south Florida heat is...

‘When I am saying we were arrogant, I’m talking about myself, nobody else. I’m talking about the fact that I should have acted immediately, recognizing that the convergence of those three problems was there, and we had to set up a task force to address them,” Tavares said at Stellantis’s...

Regular Loctite does not work well on stainless steel because of smoothness, and stainless is chemically inert. Use Loctite 243 or 263, both are designed for specialty metals. If it were me I would not use stainless hardware for this application. They are lower strength than carbon steel and...

I edited the title for clarity. I have a DRW.

It is limiting for well-understood reasons. Drive by wire systems, electronic suspensions, mild hybrid systems, and redesigning subsystems (AC, power steering, coolant pumps) to take them off the engine requires wiring harnesses that significantly increase weight and volume. The higher voltages...
