I've been working with atp's SpotLight solution for 20+ years in commercial aviaiton. https://www.atp.com/spotlight/ When teaching SpotLight to Mechanics I tell them Troubleshooting is Troubleshooting, aircraft, car, boat, motorcycle. It has to be a process. SpotLight is a knowledge base which captures and keeps tribal knowledge forever, making it easy to find the Solution. Same thing the USMB does but larger and easier to use. USMB works for us. I've searched for solutions and I've found them. One was even submitted by Lmdew years earlier I had forgotten the details but the USMB did not. Larry

If you have a GL10 or some other model with a sunroof, I found that the sliding cover is painted black on top that absorbs a lot of heat from the sun and then radiates it into the cabin. And the bottom of the cover is the hottest part of the ceiling on a sunny day. So the solution to that is to apply aluminum faced tape to the top side and you will be amazed in the results. Then the bottom of the cover is the coolest part of the cabin ceiling and on hot days you don't get that heat buildup radiating down on top of your head. Which is particularly annoying when it is over 100 degrees and your A/C does not work.

That doesn’t work on 2005+ legacy and outback’s due to changes in the ECU.

engine or tranny mount, maybe? would not necessarily be noticeable just by looking at them... but could cause issues under load

Stomping on gas and taking off from a parking spot sounds like drive shaft, U joint. Any play? Subies are robust but not meant for Dukes of Hazzard jumps.

Well, long ago the Mileage Challenge got Surpassed as I couldn't find a new timing belts' kit on time; but now I have to update this Thread with new information: I had to buy separately the left and right timing belts in Gates brand, the T-299 and the T-300. The old Timing belts worked Coverless for more than Eleven Years almost reaching twelve and also reached a total of 114,XXX Kilometers, which means a little above the 70,000 Miles and those belts doesn't looked as bad as other timing belts that I've changed in other cars, even in this mere Subie in the past, when it had the covers for the timing belts; so, the warm air blowing from the radiator and the centrifugal action has helped these belts to be cleaner and last longer, being Coverless; as the covers tends to get oily and dirty.
