If you want a funky tank, try an old VW. There is a huge pinch in the tank. By the driver's left foot was a knob, which would open the connection between them, letting you use the "Reserve" gallon. Then in '64 they added a fuel gauge, and dropped the knob. Nonetheless, the pinch remained at...

And, boy oh boy, does it do that! It is the only turbo that I have ever driven without a noticeable lag from the turbo (and I include the 2.0 Maverick in that "unsatisfying" collection). It "cheats" by using the electric motor to fill the gap. In fact, the computer has to limit the electric...

With all of the things that want to send me alerts over the slightest whatever, why in the world does the antitheft system merely beep the horn rather than send an alert? For that matter, the mere fact of moving should trigger an alert! That wouldn't require constant gps; it could be triggered...

My wife's is still too new for that (near the end of the first tank; will we hit 500?), but if dodge gets off its tail and ship the ramcharger before I order a powerboost, I'll likely order it (at least if they price like powerboost, not Silverado ev!). Powerboost F-150. I'm not sure the you...

reply with "no sale" and work with another dealer!

The EPA was running an experiment in which they had drivers travel the length of Nebraska on I-80 at 55. They had to shut it down early, after the first five drivers died of boredom! 🤪

@mepot101 for the locks, @Carlitos_92 for explosives, and @Blue_Max for a wheelman . . . maybe @Art_Vandelay as an accessory after the fact for whatever still needs done . . . 😜

Hey, there are folks looking high and low for a Rockcrusher transmission. One of the most prized retrofits for a classic with a sissyautomatic transmission 🤪 I had a taco that drove me for a couple of days; does that count?

Nevada requires a front plate on vehicles equipped with a bracket. Not realizing the exception, I insisted on the dealer mounting one on my 2006 Miata. After several rounds, we gave up on getting it to start on. And now my special order Maverick has shown up without a front mount!

That's not surprising--the computer should be taking air temperature into account when setting the fuel/air mix. Give it the wrong temperature, and get something suboptimal. (unless there is a separate measure of the intake air temperature--but that would be surprising unless something is done...

Or you could get one of these: 🤪

But if you were "found innocent", the story rights would dwarf your insurance costs. No one in the English speaking countries has ever been found innocent in a criminal case (well, Scottland may be an exception). The verdict "Not Guilty" includes "We're nearly certain that he did it, but . ...

Decency, sir. Decency. :teehee: 😜 nice explanation above. but does this mean that if "fails" means "won't hold much" rather than "nuthin'", that it might still do this job?

Indeed. Ever since Cadillac developed the Hydramatic transmission, and GM stashed it in Oldsmobiles first just in case it was a disaster, manufactures have been trying to hide the shifts of automatics! Now, ford is faking what wants to be hidden? :explode: (and on the Hydramatic, 1/2 and 3/4...

use the diode checker setting; there should be continuity in one direction, and not the other, on a working diode (LED or otherwise). I can't imagine it passing that but not emitting light. Again, the diode setting, not general continuity--the voltage may not be compatible. You may burn out...

You parked in the wrong row; yours is designed for parking angled the other direction. Check your VIN; odd and even final digit indicate whether it is for left- or -right angled spaces. But maybe Forscan can switch this for you . . . 🤪 That sounds more like turbo lag than the transmission...

It had a long, stressful, day. Give it a beer, a dimly lit room with a recliner, and half an hour, and it will be centered again. You say "TMat." I say "most lopsided game of Tic Tac Toe in history!" I'm more likely to trust some else to pick the produce than I am for it do rematerialize...

So Hyundai runs those USB wires near the gas tank 🤪 Anyway, USB maximum power depends not just on the socket side, but also on the device. Base spec is to deliver 1A at 5v, and there are multiple protocols for a device to ask for more and the source to agree.

I'm one of those. We first looked at a Maverick for me. I sat in one, an XLT, and could not arrange the seat to fully extend my left leg, or even enough that the seat was supporting my full thigh. I then sat in a ranger, and the legroom seemed identical. When on a lot to check colors, the...
