Still looking into the systems and how they interact, The ICE has its own oil, like any non hybrid, so oil pump in it is mechanical and pumps when crank is turning. good to know, my Ranger is horrible. Although I don’t change my own oil anymore, too many back surgeries. My question was more for...

Interesting, thanks..How are you liking yours?

Hm..thanks.

Thanks

Putting the gas pedal to the floor and holding it is called flood mode, all modern non hybrid cars can do that, it disables spark and fuel to clear the system in case of a flooded engine. My Ranger's filter is horizontally mounted which will make more of a mess, so I use to use the flood mode to...

Thanks, appreciate it

Thats not what I meant, I don't run the engine to prime it. If a filter is horizontally mounted you cannot pre fill it fully, in those cases I hold the gas pedal to the floor to put the engine in flood mode which disables spark and fuel, you can then crank it. I didn't give a good example, my...

Contemplating purchasing a hybrid, have had other questions and this forum has been great with info. My current question is can you start the ICE independently? As if you wanted to prime the engine after an oil change? Thanks guys

I put on women's clothing and hang around in bars

Would be nice for a second motor, thank you

Crazy world we live in. They (all manufactures) will continue to make vehicles as cheaply as they can. Best car I ever owned was a Pinto! Say what you want about them, they were great. I wanted to paint mine like a shotgun shell, thought it would have been funny. Ford knew the Pinto had a design...

Changes don't, flushes do!

Thanks, appreciate this

I plan on buying a Hybrid, live in California and am tired of gas prices. I have worked on electric motors most of my working career, these were for aircraft and or land vehicles. I am curious as to how well does the Hybrid do during either mild off-roading or climbing up steep roads. I am a...

Fluid changes won't damage them, flushes will.

I've been driving since 1974, when are people going to realize we are the test bed.

Well there's an interesting comparison....G spot! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Don't want to wait for the Stout? I was thinking on that or Maverick. I have always bought Ford's, they have been good to me, BUT I don't usually keep my vehicles beyond 125K.

When it comes to manufacturing mass amounts of anything you can never completely avoid issues. Nothing is perfect no matter who builds it. I worked 36 years in aviation manufacturing and you can hove two identical units, one will go forever and its brother will be a POS! Tolerances, every piece...

This is why when I replace my ranger in a couple years Im getting the hybrid MAINLY because the eCVT is a simple design. Same as what Toyota is using because both Toyota and Ford were using Eisn gearboxes way back in the early 2000's when hybrids were showing up. Basically 2 planetary gear sets...
