actually - married 50 years ago on September 11th and she’s still my best friend.. Actually, building the new shop was her idea!!!

Thanks Bob! Much appreciated…

Thanks - As i said earlier - I‘m just finishing the shop and moving into it. It’s not nearly as pristine as in the photo above right now… LOL Your friends place sounds like a huge slice of heaven!

Thank you. I am in the process of finishing it and moving in…

I did something similar as I had been considering taking the truck to Discount Tire to have a tire balance issue addressed. If you’ve ever been there, they get 4 guys all with floor jacks pretending they’re NASCAR Tire Changers and they’re just gonna throw those jacks anywhere they think is...

I had to buck the system and put a Ford Small Block in my 33 Ford Street Rod when I built it…. It was the “right” way to do it in my opinion…. It also has rear sump.

Why would anyone in their right mind put a Big Block Chevrolet in a Ford truck?

We traded in an 8 month old 2025 Rubicon Unlimited on our Maverick. The Jeep was an absolutely terrible traveling vehicle and we do a number of 1,000+ mile trips per year and we’re both in our 70’s so the lane assistance and more comfortable ride is very important to us. Sorry to hear about...

Is the light flashing on your ankle monitor? :teehee:

I subbed to your YouTube channel and followed the whole storyline on the transmission. Great respect for the follow-thru on that… I think we both knew what would happen when you pinched that outlet on the condensation drain.. LOL. I could almost feel the rush of cold water and guck running...

After having had a pretty bad door ding on my 26 cost more than $1600 to repair (they did great - PDR couldn’t have saved it), I am convinced that I have crushed stronger beer cans on my forehead back in college days. — Good luck with the repairs. Personally I would choose a good full-service...

Final drive ratio change alone can make a HUGE difference in off the line performance. An old drag car of mine picked up .7 seconds changing from 4.11 to 4.88 gears with no other changes.

I never said that I DID expect great mileage at 80. But I will say that the 29mpg that I did get that day, certainly isn’t bad. Nothing short of a 1 ton diesel dually with a battering ram is truly suitable for Texas roads…

I had read that the change was actually just the final drive ratio - not a whole new eCVT. The lower final drive ratio will increase RPM, but keep the truck in its proper power band Which would be particularly advantageous when towing or carrying a heavier payload. If I can find a link to...

I added them since sometimes I drive down a caliche road and if it happens to be raining - well - caliche is like adobe cement and it is murder on paint and tough to wash off..

Thanks for this Matt! I’m thinking that maybe a rear-view mirror mounted camera may be better because it’s back away from the windshield and would be shaded by the sun screen (which we have to use from beginning of June through September here.. Good tips!

If the video quality is not good enough to read license plates, how much good will it do you in court?

HEAT PROBLEMS One of the problems I seem to have with my Dash Cams is the heat. I live in Texas and my vehicles are parked outside usually. I have 3 Viofo A119 units that have all failed. They last about 6 months before they start randomly rebooting. — I suppose I could go through the effort...

Wouldn’t it be nice if Ford would give us the option of using the 360 cameras in some of our trucks as Dash Cams? A friend’s Tesla does this..
