I ran Raybestos Enhanced Hybrid E3 pads on my Explorer and also on my Sequoia. I've been pretty happy with them even when it's fully loaded like with the Baja in tow.

Any reason you went with those? Cost? Reviews?

The hummer brakes were huge and before the wheel, it made it stop surprisingly well.

Cost and they claim to work like both a ceramic and metallic pad. So higher heat resistance with less dust

I have performance friction carbon on my exploder and g37.

They're decent for a street pad

Have a scangauge II installed in the truck. It’s always bugged me that I couldn’t see the trans temp as I know the ecu sees it. Well got on their Facebook page today and asked and they PM’ed me the code and how to do it. Went out earlier and entered it all in, bam....trans temp. That’s exciting as I loved the thing minus that one option.

Also should have a o2 sensor come in today as mine has been throwing a code and it’s an upstream one.

Hopefully that will make it run a little better.

It went to 145 and then back down to 140. Only know that 200 for an extended period is bad. Don’t know if what I had was good for having an aux cooler and just driving around or that is high for that given its was 50 outside.


Coop

o2 sensor changed. Hope that was the right one and what not as it was throwing a code very often. But they are only 25 bucks and seems like they’ve been replaced and have stuff on the threads so hopefully it will not be bad.

What are you towing?

I put in our ski boat all summer long but it doesn’t take 10 mins. I will eventually like to tow the vr4 to places like brg Incase it breaks or even farther away meets.

175F is a good target. Over 200F is where you start running into problems. I don't think there's a "too low" temperature, though probably not a bad idea to go easy on it when first driving if the temp is under 40-ish.

I really wonder how it’s gonna do when it’s 100 degrees out as well. Should be interesting at least. It’s a whole new gauge I know nothing about. Glad to know 175 is a target.

When I had my Grand Prix I added an auxiliary cooler because on a few occasions I saw around 230*. After I added the auxiliary cooler I never once got above 200, even climbing some mountains.

FYI, I never had a problem with trans temps towing the Spyder around, including out to Ohio for DSM Shootout and various NGs with our original 2002 Avalanche with stock cooling. Trans fluid still looked nice and red afterwards. No problems with the 2010 either, and that had a trans temp display built in that never got over 180F. That was an LTZ with towing package, so whatever options that comes with.

Good to know!

Changed the o2 sensor that I already changed. Facebook thinks I got a defective or wrong one. I idled it and drove it and idled more. Never turned on. Hope that’s fixed.

Facebook thinks....never thought that day would come.

I love those customers. "Do you want me to just change that or would you rather have me figure out what's actually wrong with it?"

This past Monday had an 02 Pathfinder with a lack of power. Wouldn't rev past 5k. Customer wanted me to change the converters (roughly 1800 for the pair).

They let me diagnose it. Needed a maf. About 500 bucks.

I read the code, I determined it was an o2. A new one didn’t fix it. So I asked. Seems like they were right.
