I think I loose some mpg with my 22” wheels and extra load tires. That plus my addiction to acceleration means poor mpg. Any idea the alcohol content of your fuel? Mine is usually over 70% here.

I usually drive a mix of city highway and since my BBP tune I drive with a heavier foot.

my foot is just heavy period, it used to be heavier but that gets expensive having to replace parts more. These vehicles can only take so much

Passenger front door handle took a poop this morning. $50.00 at Advance and fixed in 20 min.

Also, filled up with ethanol free 89 oct gas locally. Nice find! Will see if I can get better than the 9 mpg I get in town on E85.

If that’s not an OEM handle it probably won’t last.

It’s a Dorman part. I have one on the passenger rear too. Been on for almost two years with much use. I wanted to go OE but needed it fixed “now”. Maybe I can find some takeoff parts someday.

I actually heard Dorman fixed their design a few years back, they were probably replacing too many under warranty. I think it’s the cheap Chicom no-name ones off EBay that break right away. But my friend that owns a body shop won’t even paint one that’s not OEM anymore because he was tired of it.

Last I checked it was 76%

I was gonna say. My visual inspection of the replacement left me feeling like it was a quality unit. I stand corrected regarding the RR handle it is not a Dorman and of much cheaper quality. Still going after two years tho. The Dorman one seems stronger than the OE and I am considering replacing the driver door unit before it dies too.

I’m pretty sure it has to do with how hard people yank on them when opening the door too. Some people are just plain brutal.

My kids are brutal... Especially if I don't unlock it soon enough!
