Aannuther thang !
Replacing the full size spare, on vehicles Iāve kept I replace it during the fifth year.
If I get a temp spare I replace that In,
The first week !
I deleted mine for $60,
18 months of regular but easy use, not a tear.
And my stock seats are still in place. Adds about two minutes to getting under the back seat.
A spare dated 1990 ?
Thatās not a Maypop thatās a Will pop,
In the first few miles.
By the time you get it up to temperature those rusted out steel belts will disintegrate and that dry rubber will fall apart.
Or it will hold together til you get up to interstate speeds then put you in a ditch...
Man these dealers love the average buyer.
We think we are negotiating, hahahaha,
We think they are negotiating, they are not.
They/Them have in prior meetings set the price you will pay.
My experience? Itās off the wall. I worked a buy here pay here lot and was taught by a retired GM dealer...
I listened to the regular stereo in an XLT,
At 65 mph
Then the B&O in the Lariat at 65 mph
The added sound proofing of the Lariat windshield with the B&O was outstanding when compared to the NON B&O system.
Iām an old fart, retired. My last hearing test at the VA showed I can hear a flat...
I run 93 in my Ecoboost.
$4.99 per gallon,
Worth every penny,
But then again Iām in the Appalachianās
Lots of little climbs, over and over.
My engine deals with 87 just fine.
On 93 it gets to, āBe all it can beā
Smoother,
Faster, not much,
More responsive, by a bunch. Still feels like it...
My Ecoboostās indicated mpgās are about 10% off.
Fordās not fooling me.
I get 26 mpg for a long term average from checking the old fashioned way.
They do this to sell stuff and to meet Guv requirements. You canāt tell me they couldnāt have been extremely accurate on mpgās.
I donāt waste my...
Iām sorry but a quick glance at the above videos showed me an F-150 operating well within its design parameters.
Going up the big steps, cake walk with a skilled driver.
Torture would have been doing that step climb with a half ton of cargo in the bed, at least.
Any 4x4 vehicle with enough...
Idda made em set the pallet on the ground and hand loaded the panels.
Load would have been six inches lower,
Big difference.
Front end is not lifting much, looks safe and if my 160 pound ass was in the driver seat the front would be lower.
Half my dang owners manual is lawyer speak.
Half that half is child seat info. That stuff should have been in a separate book so that us non child raising people could trash it.
The stupid visor stickers are going away.
Mine were noisier at 35 than at 38 psi cold.
Once warmed up my gage showed 41-42 psi. In these warm pressures exists a wonderfully quiet great handling responsive ride.
Try it for a week.
I do 37 front and 38 rear cold actually, Why Because In my mountain roads. Iām braking and turning far more...
