I've been reading about how great BND fluids are for a little over a year, and thought I'd finally give it a shot. Mind you I was quite skeptical about all the claims I had read, but thought what the hell. So I gave Brian a call, ordered up a bunch of fluids and converted a few weeks ago. Let's just say not only wasn't I disappointed, I was shocked! The fluids arrived when I was working during the week, so first thing I did was add the Aces IV since I need to fill up anyway. First impression on the first tank...no big deal. Of course I knew it would take a couple of tanks so I didn't give it a second thought. Along comes the weekend and enough time to work on the car, so in goes the coolant, oil, tranny fluid & differential fluid. Now it's time for another tank of gas...and holy crap I'm impressed. The noise at either extreme on the wheel is gone, the hard shift out of park on any type of incline is gone and the ticking noise that apparently only I could hear is now silent. To top it off, the throttle response is unbelievable, touch it and the car takes off! Is this some kind of dream, or did these fluids really make that much of a difference? No time to do any other work on the weekend, so I just spend the next few days driving, and am even more impressed as my fuel mileage goes up 19%. Now I'm thinking about what else I need to do the next time I get a day off...gotta change the O2 sensor I know is a problem because I've already done all the troubleshooting to eliminate any other errors. Now I'm on to my 3rd tank with the Aces IV, and to my surprise the code for the O2 sensor has now cleared itself...WTF? No way I'm thinking, but sure enough it hasn't come back after a week of driving. And now my mileage is up 30.5%. I may have been skeptical at first which is why I waited to convert, but I'm sorry I hadn't done it sooner. The car has never been so happy, I swear I hear it say thank you every time I turn the key. I haven't enjoyed driving this much since I first got it! The best part, the cost savings on fuel alone will pay for the fluids! Thanks to everybody here who pointed out the products & to Brian for working the witches brew cause this **** is great...still not sure how you got all that stuff in one small box! And no more ordering the ACES IV by the quart, only gallons from here on out. :bowdown:
Oh, and all those lifetime fluids that Dodge claims...well I think a picture counts for a lot. Take a look at this garbage I was glad to get out! No, they're not all "lifetime" but still kinda nasty! I didn't think to take pics of the new fluids beside the old until I got to the power steering, but I think we all know what new fluids look like...unless you haven't seen Brian's tackified gear oil, just think melted caramel with red food colouring added!
First the present to myself:
The power steering old & new:
The tranny:
And the rear diff:
