Many pooh-pooh the IMS issue, but once your engine dies 600 miles from home at 1:00 a.m. on a cold October early morning in Toledo, OH, you brush the naysayers off. Not sure if you've ever been to Toledo, but east of there, there ain't much of anything. If my engine died 90 minutes earlier, I could have been stranded literally, in the middle of nowhere in sub 30 degree weather at close to midnight.
