In Q3 2024, Ford offered 7.9% with 800+ credit score.

Single clutch, open rear differential dual-clutch, locking rear differential: And yes there are 3 clutch packs. The first is in the front transaxle PTU. That determines whether it is going to send power to the rear, or not. The second clutch in the standard RDU disconnects the axles from...

Unintended acceleration.

https://a.co/d/80fxR5x Less complex. No fabricating. 800 watts max output. 230 watt hour capacity, so 17 minutes at 800 W before needing to recharge. Recharge will take a few hours at ~125 watts (90% round trip efficiency).

The existing inventory sitting on lots, or vehicles currently in transit, are not subject to the newly instituted tariffs, leaving the price unaffected. However, if you order one and it is not already built, it will be subject to tariffs. As a result, anyone that is thinking about buying a new...

Are you suggesting the Trump tariffs are causing price inflation of used goods? I thought this was just a tax on Chinese companies that the Chinese have to pay?

Interesting. I though they used a sealed gas tank because manufacturers are required to build a certain number of partial zero emission vehicles each year to avoid emissions fines and that to qualify as a pzev, your hybrid has to have “zero evaporative emissions”, which necessitates a sealed gas...

I traded in the wife and got a new model on lease. When I want something, I just have to ask myself, can I afford it? If the answer is yes, it gets purchased. No hassles. No headaches. Last year I bought an 85” tv and had a contractor recess it into a 4” deep “tv niche” to flush mount it...

I have the same problem with a cheap no-name brand Amazon USB-C cable with my iPhone. it worked fine for a year or two, but now it randomly throws errors, saying that the device is incompatible with the cable, that the device won’t be charged because it draws too much power, or that the USB-C...

Federal motor vehicle safety standard 49 CFR part 571 section 5.1.2-5.1.7 requires that electric brakes, brake by wire systems and regenerative braking systems all have manual backups in case of electrical subsystem failure. If there was truly no backup braking system after electrical...

I mean, it’s your call. It’s your vehicle to do with as you choose. But, if it was me and I was experiencing the problem that the recall addresses, I would take it in and get the recall done. If I didn’t take it in for the recall, and then I back over my neighbor’s kid or their pet because the...

Personally, I don’t worry about things like this. It is an edge case. If I decide I want to tow a 4k load up the Davis Dam grade at full throttle in 110 degree heat, then maybe I’ll revisit the issue. Otherwise, I’m not going to stress over it. I’ve got more important things in my life that...

Interesting. So you’re saying that people leave their upscale, low crime neighborhoods and head to the impoverished, high crime areas to commit their crimes? That is the opposite of what happens where I live. The poor people leave their impoverished, high crime neighborhoods and head to the...

That’s fantastic! If your waste gate is stuck in the closed position, that means you’re getting all the boost, all the time. What are you gonna do with all that powa??

Rats.

Even if the exhaust pipe stuck down 1 inch lower, it would still be dropping the exhaust out under back end of your car. The exhaust pipe would need to be another 9 inches longer in order to not emit the exhaust UNDER the car. Hot air rises. And exhaust gas is hot. If the exhaust drops out...

Yeah, the frontal area is 70 square feet. In the 2025 maverick towing guide, it says 4k towing package EB is rated for 40 square feet frontal area, 4k lbs, 8,130 GCWR, 400 lb tongue weight. If you keep it under 55 mph, it would be fine. But at 65 mph the aerodynamic effects are going to blow...

I was confused by this. The original post says screen. The linked article has a picture that looks like a welded patch, but not a screen. So I found a better picture from a different thread that shows it nicely.

Resonators are more common than you think. Even on cheap brands and older cars.
