Mine are at 48,000 miles and are finally getting replaced with some Goodyear Assurance ComfortDrive tires. I usually buy Michelin but I wanted max ride comfort, and these seem like what to go with since Tire Rack does not have the Vredestein Quatrac Pro available. I would get the Quatrac Pro+...

I took mine in a few Saturdays ago for it's 12,000 mile service. It took about 30 minutes for the service. The hybrid component has nothing to do with engine service.

Congratulations! As I decided not to punch any holes in the truck or try to not damage the paint at all, I ended up with a cheap Tram glass mount on the rear window. It's not the best but I can bring up the local repeaters. I was up on a 6,000 top hill in SD a few weeks back and raised a...

KT went all in on E15/88. They built their own ethanol splash rack in Madison. By splash I mean they go to the Flint Hills or US Oil terminal and get however many gallons of base fuel, then drive half a mile down the road to their rack and splash in 10% or 15% ethanol into the tanker...

I have the same, but I wonder how many of these were built.

Best I can do on 18" stock rims.

I think I ran up to 35% or so with my C-Max, seemed to be fine. I tried over 40% once with my Five Hundred, it lit the CEL but otherwise ran fine. Cleared after the next fill so the ECM was just seeing the fuel trim was off. I should do the calculations and figure out the actual ethanal...

I went through the city instead of taking the highway around the city a few days ago.

So close. This is with about 20% ethanol blend in the fuel. I generally run E15 88 but topped it off with a few gallons of E30 for that tank.

I finally pulled mine out of storage for a few regional trips that my car can't quite do. Wave if you see a Rapid Red riding around.

Very nice. I'll wave when I pass you.

Do your dealerships not have Quicklanes? First come first serve, but all they do is maintenance items.

Bob do you have any sort of bed topper? If not the best thing would be to make use the the DYI Threaded Bed Holes (F). Look below for location. I would still run ground strap to the bed tie down D ring bolts for proper bonding. Plenty of room under the rear seat for mounting the radio and even...

Lets be clear. No mag mount provides an adequate ground, and I do mean RF and electrical ground. You should, in an ideal world, be bonding the antenna to the vehicle. Right now you have half of a dipole. Do yourself a big favor and get some ground braid and run it from the mount down to the...

Maybe you should say this is in Michigan? Just a thought.

I wanted fuel economy and lower emissions and did not need to waste money on something extra I did not need. It is my third Ford hybrid If I need something big moved, I have my dad drive over his F150.

Can you diagnose where the whine is coming from? Under the hood, behind the glove box? This should be easy to do as you say you have a minute after start before the noise happens.

Words like 'better' are subjective and don't really belong in the conversation. Words like 'higher' or 'lower' are measurable vs a baseline. Paper = Proper filtration if meeting OEM spec, Adequate air flow. K&N = Lower filtration than OEM spec, Higher air flow. Does that airflow get you...

Technically you are both right. Octane is what makes premium fuel premium in a way, but not all the way. Ethanol is how how we prefer to add additional cheap octane to fuel now instead of tetraethyl lead. When I go to the rack to fill my fuel tanker, if want 87 octane E10 I put 900 gallons of...

I use E15 almost exclusively, no real word discernable difference from E10 or even E0 gas. On the other hand, it did get cold. I took my truck out of a six week storage and drove it a few hundred miles this weekend, only 36mpg instead of 46mpg. Of course it was 30 degrees instead of 75 so I...
