My history with Ford products goes back decades. My Dad didn't have a car until I was 10 years old. He worked for the railroad and we traveled by train when we visited relatives in WI and IL. My brother had financed a used '54 Customline sedan in '59 after he was forced to trade in his '55...

Okay... This Maverick journey started a week ago with a trip to my local Mitsubishi dealer thinking we may buy a small roller skate with good fuel economy and low payments. A test drive showed my wife and I the car was too small for our yearly trip to Florida. On to the Ford store to see a...

Where are the tpms sensors located on my '73 Maverick?

30 seconds with a heat gun would fix that. I've mounted hood scoops with panel adhesive and King Kong couldn't pull them off. That said the style is a matter of personal choice.

Well... Seems like the Maverick I "bought" won't be mine. I signed a purchase agreement contingent on my dealer getting the truck via dealer trade. Didn't happen...yet. They haven't been able to make an equitable trade with another dealer. I was assured that doing a dealer trade would not be...

Yes...if you want the trans to last. While I'm a Mopar fan that lifetime oil is a myth. It's only lifetime until the trans blows!

Nice work. Steel fabricating is my favorite past time. After a big wreck in my Peterbilt in 2009 (a drunk illegal pulled out of a side road and I nailed him broadside) I had to fight the other guys insurance. No money for a $1200 bumper so I fab'd my own. Keep up the good work.

I gave up on bitog years ago... especially those posts by 540rat... he was on virtually every forum know to God. Same posts...same opinions. He was a firm believer in that one armed bandit bearing scar test even though it's validity had been throughly debunked by guys who were actually IN the...

Henry...is that you?

Nope...he is a genuine tribologist that worked for Joe Gibbs Driven oil for years. His job was testing and designing oils for racing and street use. Speed has only been on YouTube a couple months and has tens of thousands of followers... pretty good for a guy that doesn't know anything.

I didn't think anyone still read his posts anymore...

Well they can't shut down the entire fuel infrastructure with a flip of a switch. And I can make my own ethanol...

I'm going to try some chrome inserts... either vinyl or stainless

Around here most dealers are selling at msrp. I shopped three dealers...one offered a $500 discount but I used to work for them and they are mostly lying scumbags. I paid window sticker but got a free 7 year/100,000 mile power train warranty as part of the deal. Yea I know it really wasn't...

Before I had a lift I put my cars on four tall jackstands when I worked on them. Of course I needed the belly room cause I'm a lardass...

Over 5.5 million miles of over the road driving I learned that Michelin makes the best tire out there. I owned my own trucks for 22 years... a $500 11R24.5 Michelin drive tire was cheaper than a $350 tire of another brand. I got over 400,000 miles out of the Michelin XD drive tires...another...

I didn't post a link just his YouTube user name.... for some reason I'm having an issue with linking a video. Just search for " motor oil geek"...you'll find him.

The biggest favor you can do for your vehicle is keep fresh fluids in all systems...and good filters if applicable.

Just be advised that everyone of these issues ate usually related to the incredibly stupid emissions control equipment required to be used on these vehicles. It's not a coincidence that the goverments around the world are intent on requiring all vehicles to eventually be electric powered. Shut...

Motor oil is one subject that everyone has an opinion on...me included. Some of you may have visited the site BITOG.. BOB IS THE OIL GUY. Man if you want misinformation and non fact based opinion that joint is fir you. If you want REAL oil info from a guy that actually formulated oils in the...
