  1. Operational cost: Gas EcoBoost vs. Hybrid -- The REAL Break-Even Mileage

    I bought the hybrid because it can be towed behind my RV on its own wheels, not the case with the Ecoboost. The extra fuel economy is nice but as I only drive about 4,000 miles per year it really isn't a big deal to me. The Maverick is lot quieter and smoother than the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon I've...

    Just stumbled on several articles detailing how the Karr alarm system, installed on a lot of cars by dealers who are trying to stop thefts from their lots, actually enables theft by hackers - here's one of the articles - https://techxplore.com/news/2026-07-million-cars-anti-theft-dealers.html...

Huge improvement in comfort, mileage, carrying capacity, and more yet it weighs just about the same as the...

  6. 👉🏻UPDATE👇🏻 Ford uses Torx PLUS ++ Here is the Difference

    Oh boy I get to buy some more tools - already have BSF and Whitworth for old British motorcycles, SAE for my Jeep and Metric for my Japanese motorcycle and various bicycles, etc. Also have Philips and JIS and Pozidrive and "Reed & Prince" screwdrivers, "Security" Torx bits, etc., etc. Off to...
  7. Fob is working , but key cannot open the door manually?

    Best thing for locks is "Houdini", available on Amazon, known as "the locksmith's secret". I've used it to free up 30 year old padlocks - the stuff works.
