Meh. My GLI had an odd B pillar rattle that showed up on occasion. Finally got around to putting some foam in and now the problem is gone. Neither work maverick has had rattle issues. Thing is the Canyon might be built better. Modern Chevy is a total crapshoot. But it wont drive anywhere...

The rest of the world laughs at this concept. In the UK, your uninsured, unregistered car gets towed, and you have 14 days to make it right or it gets CRUSHED. Not sold, CRUSHED. If they catch your car on camera, they will follow it to your house and put a tow order in with the local...

Can you? Sure! Is it a wise idea? Not if you value the health of your back. With that much weight one screwup is all you need to have permanent issues. Ask me how I know...... If you're going to be doing this weekly, at minimum you are going to need ramps. And make sure the engine is towards...

Nope. It's always been like this, all brake fluid absorbs water. What will happen in somethign that old is the brakes will feel like absolute junk, and you'll end up doing pads and rotors and new calipers, and of course this means new fluid, and then remark how bad the old brakes are. Old...

U-Haul has a serious hate relationship with Ford ever since the explorer incident. Even with modern Explorers, most locations wont rent you anything over a 2,000 lb capacity, even though they are rated for 5,000 lbs.

If he reports it to insurance he's screwed. They'll want panel repl;acement and that gets expensive fast. If I were OP I'd just get the glass replaced. Maybe do PDR on the body panels. The truck is beaten, but it still runs and drives fine and safety is not compromised outside the glass.

Get a water tester from amazon and see how bad it really is. My F-250 after 6 years is still at just 1% water, so I havent bothered changing it yet. The VW gets it done religiously because, well, german cars are picky things.

AI generated nonsense. I love the part where it shows the trailer being towed backwards with the hitch trailing behind the trailer. There have been no changes to 49 CFR 383.91 that I can find. And as always, RVs and camper trailers are exempt from CDL rules...

You will never recover the difference in price from the value loss via gas price. People fell for this in 2008 too. Especially considering the price of lariat hybrid 4k mavs. If you hit 77k in just 4 years you do a decent amount of highway driving, so you're only looking at a 4-5 MPG improvement...

Being entry level does not justify leaving a vehicle unfinished. This mentality is why the Japanese and Koreans ate the big 3's lunch. When VW launched the jetta, it was a $18k vehicle. Surprise surprise....it didnt have holes under the body, or exposed wiring. It's just a matter of attention...

One of the given reasons the Maverick has sold so much better then the Santa Cruz was its looks. That boxy utilitarian shape sells. The new Rivian R2 is getting people very excited...it is boxy too. Every smooth bubble fat car truck that tries to be "softer, friendlier" ece ece has failed...

That's a signal issue. Usually red is signal integrity failure. Either the screen is randomly failing due to a malfunctioning chip or the cable itself isn't seated properly.

The only vehicle with actual, functional "auto" climate control I've had has been my VW. None of the nissans, hondas, chevys, ece in the family have ever worked right. Even then, the VW's auto TEMP works fine, but its fan control has a mind of its own. So the fan is turned manually there...

Yes, you place it under the front and rear jack points on one side. It makes tire changes a lot easier, and it doesnt torque the truck at a weird angle so it requires less effort then jacking up one point.

But the vehicle isnt worth $80,000. We dont know the trim or mileage, but relatively new Broncos used around me are going for $38-45k. Unless he has a Raptor, even then those are $79k NEW, so he's not getting $80k on trade in. Used with 51k miles, they're still going for $62k, so the dealer...

Oh you could do that, but the truck wouldn't be "off", since modern vehicles still sense all sorts of things. You'd still have electric brake boost, I'd think, although I could be wrong. I mean you could still try it, throw it in neutral, turn it off, see if the brakes feel any different.

All dealers have declined in service, Ford in particular has had a very bad year or so of losing technicians at a rapid pace. None of the ford dealers around me have a good reputation. Same with the Chevys. There's one reputable Dodge dealership, the VW dealership I use, and one of the three...

I wouldnt go drilling the drain out. That will be where rust starts immediately with exposed sheet steel. If you want something to block wood from moving, I'd suggest something magnetic that wills tick there, or make a wooden bracket that will sit in the indent.

Good to know. I'm curious how that works with an electrically actuated master cylinder. Do they have a secondary hidden somewhere? It wouldnt be easy. Without power you will have 0 steering, those killowatt motors they use for steering are HEAVY AF. My sister's malibu was one of the ones...
