No, no I don't - I have never seen a test done to validate any actual advantages of larger filters. I don't see any real advantages, only "theoretical" ones. I live with a season called "winter" when oil can get thick overnight, and dirty oil gets thicker. a not-to-spec bypass valve can cause...

genuinely curious - what's the benefit besides easier to remove because it's longer? I get that theoretically there is more media, so theoretically better flow and less pressure drop, but I don't think I have seen this particular comparison anywhere. There is also the question of bypass valve -...

Every time I see one of these threads, the amount of righteous anger at Ford seems to correlate with the amount of mods done to the truck :crackup: We figured out a while ago that lifts, especially shitty puck lifts, will wreck your axels and maybe more. Can we stop being surprised already when...

I have the MX4. It does leak a bit in heavy rain or car wash at the tailgate and the back of the bed, but it's generally not too bad. RealTruck is great to work with, and if you reach out to their contact on this forum around a holiday they may give you a bit of a discount! One thing I will...

yes, except here is some more copy+paste - may or may not be true but inline with what I have seen, from dvcheck.com :D Summary – Michigan Diminished Value Claims Statute of Limitations: 3 years Third Party Diminished Value Claim: Possibly up to $3,000 if you were to win a mini tort case...

Unfortunately most states, MI included, does not allow you to recoup diminished value. Good to know, but check local laws!

I'm in Michigan. By mid-winter half of our road surfaces are loose gravel. In the past year that I owned the truck, through effectively second winter now, I only had one close call with a flying rock, where the windshield got a nice surface scratch from the impact but didn't crack, and I am not...

The stock Pirellis are so trash in the snow, the first time I drove them on .5 inches of fresh snow coming down I slid around like I was on an ice rink. Bought a better set of all season tires the same day. They will do fine in the summer, but they are amazingly bad on snow on pavement.

Ya'll know that there is still a key in the fob? Cause batteries sometimes die and you still need to drive the car? Yeah, open up that manual and do that thing you heard they do in school - read.

Lol, love having all the old farts coming in yelling for kids to get off their lawn and be more financially responsible. We had effectively two back to back recessesions in early 2000s, .COM bubble, housing bubble - and that lead to a decade of 0.0% interest rates to stabilize and accelerate...

Thank you, I needed a good laugh today.

yes, awesome tire. not too noisy, good in summer, amazing in winter. not for offroad though. I started getting them on all my cars.

honestly, the only benefit I see over the stock B&O is the wireless android auto. but for $1000+ I'll live with the cable :LOL:

The thread was focusing on potential issues of the 8 speed paired with the ecoboost, there was no discussion of differences. you made a pointless point completely irrelevant to actual discussion in this thread.

Lol, starting at the top, that's cute. There used to be a phrase "honest day's work for honest day's pay" - that used to be true when you were young. Now you need to be in the top 10% earners to ever hope to buy a house and are one major car repair away from broke. Times have changed, and not...

thank you for your valuable contribution. obvious troll is obvious.

lol, was there a point there?

Boomers grew up in basically the easiest times in history of USA. A simple search tells me, for example, the average salary in 70s was 10k, and an average house cost about 25k. 2.5x single full time salary. Today an average salary is 60k and an average house price is 346k. Adjusting for...

what is this top grade BS drama post? They forgot to put the plastic shield back - that happens. You call them back and tell them, they fix it - that's what normal people do. They do hundreds of oil changes a day, a lot of cars have those shields that must be removed, at the end of the day when...

He did say at the end of this video that a modern turbo engine will probably benefit a lot more from higher octane than his naturally aspirated gokart. And as tedious at the 2 random tuners video was, they did reference the AAA study of Top Tier vs cheap gas. So not without merit.
