  1. Looking For Some Honest Opinions

    Drag? Maybe. Keeping air from under the vehicle is a good thing. Cooling? Definitely not, you aren't somehow forcing more air into the grill, and if you were it would hurt your drag.
  2. AC Hygene

    Don't know if you're grumpy, but you're definitely Howard-Hughesian in your fear of A/C germs. No one except you does this, we're all fine. Do you do it in your house?
  3. What are your thoughts on these points against owning a hybrid truck?

    I hope you aren't expecting a Ford to last like a Toyota, which is the most salient point about a Prius.
  4. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    And while we're at it, nobody is getting out of a ticket because they discribed your car incorrectly. Now, seeing the judge and saying "really?" might work.
  5. What are your thoughts on these points against owning a hybrid truck?

    click bait video is clickbaity. It is almost certain your maintenacne costs will be more over 10 years, but batteries isn't it, that was a concern 10 years ago, they've figured out how to make batteries last, mostly by not charging and discharging them fully. There are more things to go wrong...
  6. Ticketed: UNSAFE TOWING DEVICE

    Cop mad he didn't get his kickback fom his buddy with a tow truck. no good deed, etc.
  7. Update after 3 years and 49k towing miles

    You should find significantly better mileage around town, especially if you take it easy. Mileage on the highway will be about the same, you can't beat wind friction. Hybrid ought to help your brakes as well. Just don't buy a hybrid believing you'll have fewer reliability problems, hybrids...
  8. Premature rear brake rotor wear

    I'm trying to figure out what the issue is here. Rotors look rusty after sitting in the rain and definitely after salt. They look fine after driving for 5 minutes. You know your rotors are worn by measuring them, not by looking at them. Metal to metal has nothing to do with rotors and...
  9. Has anyone added a tachometer

    I don't know how to do it but I fully support your desire to see the engine rpm.

  11. Neutral Tow with an unauthorized key

    Did you get keys with the PATS chip? They have to be programmed. No Kias here.

    The dot means full. You're under the dot. Go drive it.
  13. 4k tow package Drive ratio, cooling and radiator fan percent difference recource/discussion

    There's nothing stopping you from towing a n 80,000 lb semi with your truck other than tearing it up. And the liability of overload when you hit a busload of kids. Pretty sureyou get different suspension components with 4k.
  14. Socket and breaker bar for flat tire

    My take here is if you want to automate, get something to run the scissor jack & tire cable with. Lug nuts were easy, jacking the truck up and down & getting the tire down was not.
  15. About to cancel order!

    First time you've had to deal with a railroad I see. This is rather typical behavior I'm afraid. Every business that relies on rail shipments has a rail expeditor who keeps up with missing rail cars.
  16. S&B intake installed. What a difference

    I do not believe that an air intake improves your fuel economy. It doesn't make sense. The largest loss in the intake system is the throttle, so getting rid of intake flow head losses upstream of the throttle won't do anything. You MIGHT get wide open throttle improvements if you can get more...
  17. Suggestion, Keep Your Steelies

    Counter-suggestion - keep your steelies on the truck and spend the money you would have spent on new wheels on something better.
  18. Does anyone know the expected life for screens in vehicles?

    These are not the things that fail and make the car undriveable like ABS units or computers that eventually become unobtainable. Things like that are why you can buy an old V-12 supercar for 8 grand, it will become essnetially undriveable the next major thing that fails. Screens will be in...
  19. After you drive it off the lot.

    I didn't get nothing, I had to pay $50 and pick up the garbage.
  20. How does the Tremor fare off road

    You will get stuck a lot farther away than a 2wd
