Get a second opinion. There was a large chain of transmission repair shops that, back in the 70s and 80s, used to routinely tell the customer that their transmission's days were coming to a close due to "shavings in the pan". They'd then show the customer a little sample of the oil that they got...

I have no doubt that most any modern car is hackable. Maybe not by an amateur in 2 1/2 minutes but they will undoubtedly get batter at it.

Before - Left 0.28, Right 0.04 After - left 0.14, Right 0.14

That front toe definitely got adjusted.

Sure, Ranger-sized turbo, Borla exhaust, fancy stripes and fins - and Rich Corinthian Leather interior. It's part of the Cordova package.

1 grand a month for a car - ridiculous. That's more than my last house payment!

4 or 5 years total. That's about how long I keep any car, with a couple of exceptions.

I want to see some numbers. 0-60, 1/4 mile, cornering force, lap times. Let's see what 300 hp can do!

so the message on my ford app is basically a lie. It says "if you do not tow with your vehicle, you may wait for ota deployment for your vehicle remedy" - which implies that there IS an OTA possibility. Doesn't matter much to me at this point, though I will get it done next time I'm at the...

Out of curiosity, can a 2024 Lariat receive OTA? thanks

It's all about the MPG. It's the reason for the auto-start/stop, the reason for the crappy low-mileage tires, it's the reason that hardly anybody makes a sedan any more, its the reason for many things. Government gives them a target number, they do everything they can to reach that number at...

Isn't the chief benefit of a larger, more efficient intercooler allowing longer sustained runs without getting heat soak and boost reduction? I'd see this as a good thing for towing in somewhat hilly terrain where you may have 3 or 4 mile climb with 4000 pounds in tow and hot weather - you don't...

I have those Pirellis - Scorpion all terrain. Well, they're not really much of all terrain tire, but then again, I haven't used the truck off road much. Drove up into the back yard a couple of times, to drop off bags of mulch or move boxes from the main floor to the garage when I was packing to...

How far though? I think TFL might have run a hybrid through the Gauntlet out in Colorado to test it.

I really liked my F-150 when I had it. Also liked my Dodge Ram short-cab Hemi, though it was about the thirstiest vehicle I ever owned. But I'm very happy with my Maverick. A Ranger sized truck is about as big as I'd go now days, given the size of garages today. And I do like keeping my truck in...

the F-150 with the 2.7, 3.5 and/or 5.0 also outsold the Lightning by a huge margin. Why? Because the lightning isn't practical. I can't tow for long distances without a charge, and you're not going to charge nearly as fast as you can fill up your 36 gallon tank.

It is telling you just how exciting an equallateral triangle really is.

The differences in oil from the 70s and today are not that huge. There are other factors that lead to engine longevity including the design of the engine, tolerances of the parts, improvements in cooling, better materials to start with. A better question would be which vehicle would endure more...

That's pretty cool, but Sasquatch resides in that little bin.
