    Lug nuts for snow tires/wheels

    KSMM03, Different thread pitch...thats odd.... The locking wheel nuts from FLM / McGard are the same PN for the MM and GM and CV and so on and on... Me thinks someone was confused when they gave that answer.... Any PepBoys or AutoZone should be able to sell you the plain nuts cheaper than...

    Vehicle Number

    new car survey arrives! Well-what to do?

    I believe the salesperson only gets dinged on things that reflect on him or what's in his control... My dealership sales manager sends out a letter that if you cannot mark it "perfect" to please call him before sending it.. Those scores do reflect on their "Blue Oval Certified" standing or...
