There must be something wrong with my browser(or eyes) as I could not find a previous post by you in this thread. I DID miss the info you just pointed out to me. For some reason(brain?) I was looking for the original post that had been quoted and then did not remember the info was there.... or...

One GOOD thing about driving is that you can break your engine in a lot better than normal short drive home followed by normal use. If you do drive, consider driving at various speeds for, say, 10 minutes and then shifting to higher or lower speed for a while. You can also accelerate to a...

Way to keep things under your hat, RK. I am up near Canton, and Smyrna is just 15 miles down 575. MofG is all the way on the NE side of town. Who is Val and do you have a reach number? Wade is a LOT closer. I'll switch if I can. tom

There are no MATERIAL availabilities putting your build on hold. It is 'clean' to schedule. I think.

Dan, just how many First Editions did you order? I count three if all posts are true.... Chuckle.

Down, are you following to closely, or are there just that many rocks thrown onto the highways? Times I have traveled across and up and down AZ I did not encounter excessive rocks. Traveling from Pietown NM to AZ there were very few rocks. Would not windshield insurance cover the extra cost...

Those that retail new cars to customers have been and are digesting the changes the internet and readily available information are having upon their current occupation. The ones that are flexible enough to learn will do fine. Those that depend upon superior(unavailable) knowledge to take...

Remotely adjustable mirrors were an option, lessthan $50, for th Pinto back when they were made. Drivers side had a knob sticking out the side of the door panel. Passenger side was a similar lever sticking down from the dashboard, to the right of the steering column. They both had 3 cables...

make your own… Ingredients: chemical, cas, % by weight Ethylbenzene 100-41-4 10-15% Petroleum Distillates 64742-47-8 30-40% n-Propanol 71-23-8 5-10% Xylene (mixed isomers) 1330-20-7 40-50% I was just doing some math... and wondered. Don't all those % figures add up to more than 100%? I...

Well, this is as clear as mud. Given the announced change, after accepting orders, it is not known if those orders will be fulfilled. It could be the schedule has been scrambled as some say by all the FWD TOW combinations thrown back. Or it could be parts delivery schedule got a kick in the...

I am out in Canton, will have pickup at Mall of GA, ordered through Chapman. Am still awaiting any indication of activity. Order 7/19 tom

!Somewhere! I read that the estimated mpg calculator can be adjusted to reflect actuals. I do not remember how, but it was fiddling with the cluster and controls. Some are optimistic and some are pessimistic, so the only way to know is to do a manual calculation and then compare to the cluster...

My take was based on the 139 quantity reported ordered for Hermosillo recently as reported by a poster whose spouse worked at the transmission plant. I do not know all of FoMoCo ordering going on beyond what I read here and on the web. I cannot state that 40% of the scheduled are hybrids. I...

There there.... It will be all right. We all feel for you. BTW, you should get on the horn to your dealer and ask what's up?

If you install bolts, you can thread them in all the way to seat the head against the bed. Then you could leave them in that position until you found a need to use them. OTOH they may be a bit difficult to break free of the liner material. FWIW, my brother that bought a Ranger has a September...

I was basing my comment on what I had read about the 139 transmissions ordered for one week supply. Seemingly the transmission factory is sitting on its hands, awaiting JIT order from the assembly plant. Given that, I expect there's some sort of assembly problem. Of course this could all be...

Really, the Chevrolet Vega had just as bad a Ronson or Zippo effect as the Pinto 2-door or hatchback. The media didn't want to hit on the beer-can engined Chevy, it was doing poorly enough without the whack on burning as it was. The 2.3 really needed a 5-speed to be able to cruise without just...

My head hurts. In a planetary, you can : Lock the sun(center) gear Lock the planet carrier(ICE crankshaft) Lock the ring gear. But, if you do that, wheels cannot rotate. OR a bit of all three sort of. With the engine OFF, vehicle in motion, the planetary set(carrier) will(!must!) be...

Seems FoMoCo is good at designing attractive vehicles, but is it good at producing them? Orders for the all-electric 150 are huge, for the Bronco- huge, for the Bronco Sport - significant and for the Maverick - big, but is production there? Not so far. Hope they can execute. The Taco was the...

I would vote more for flaps that deflect the road rocks. If you get chips in any sort of liner, you may get water penetration under the surrounding paint/line-x-coating and it will just fester and eventually fail. A thin, waxy coating, not car wax, but a thicker wax, can protect and will not...
