Everyone seems to be missing the fact the estimate based on a full tank not a tank filled beyond that point which he clearly states that he did and the actual gas used was closer to 14.3 gallons before overfilling. Even then that estimate is off and would be around 43.3 MPG for 14.3 gallons of...

No it does, the security agencies already have tech like this. They will also subsidize the automotive makers if they play along. Then you have big data and their interests in using all the video / photo capture to train the AI's.

I don't know if this is true with Ford's implementation of ACC but in KIA I had rented with ACC during heavy snow with the ACC on it decided it wanted to accelerate and ram into everything the radar detected.

Agree, I still use Garmin maps or OSMAND when I use Android Auto. I also have an older Rand McNally road atlas just in case.

Here are some more real world results. Keep in mind I have A/T tires which decrease MPG on the highway compared to A/S tires. On a full tank with eco mode engaged I averaged 33.1 MPG with my speed averaging around 75 for over 400 miles. The extra power and cooling from that intercooler really...

Both for front rotors. The front rotors I bought in the set are all 3. I meant slotted and drilled for both front and back rotors. Sorry for the slop there.

Call me when Ford, Tesla, etc. invest serious money in building a national charging infrastructure needed to make EV's viable outside of specific usage parameters. Until then this is just another fleecing of ideological muppets. This is like building a cell phone while touting all it's features...

Is that Ford Connected Navigation or Ford Digital experience? Yes there is a difference between them. Ford Connected Navigation uses Synch 4 and TeleNav for maps while the Digital Experience uses Android Automotive OS and google maps.

It can though if you upgrade the software to SYNC 4 and install if not already installed an APIM module. You'll also need the telematics unit for the cloud based updates. Just make sure it has built in offline navigation if you lose cell service or decide to not pay the subscription fee. You can...

Oil your regular air filter like they do on cold air intakes.

Wrong. They run cleaner because they combust more of the fuel not less. That also leads to more power output on each combustion cycle especially for producing torque at low rpms which is why the engines also last longer for heavy load haulers.

It is not about the quality of the fuel but the fact a GDI setup aerosolizes the fuel to the point there is no excess to wash the valves. It increases MPG but carbon buildup is your trade off. There is no free lunch the only cost issue is the cleaner used or walnut blasting vs. gas saved in mpg...

I used to have farm bureau which was good when I bought the vehicle for the $500 off the truck but switched later to Progressive. I'd definitely have them quote you a rate.

I check mine at every 30k and then also have the dealer do it to have it on record that the fluid is good for warranty purposes. Once it gets to a very dark amber or brown is when it gets flushed and changed. Service manual shows exactly how to do it, so when the time comes I'll do it myself.

Let us know if you want a medal or a monument 👍 This a public forum comments and info within are meant for everyone reading.

Fair enough on the DOT 2 I am not a classic vehicle guy. The original point still applies, the fluid wasn't subjected to higher braking temps like it is in ABS system. Also and this I don't know the answer to is what material where the brake lines made out of on those trucks. If they were...

It is, low viscosity fluid is needed for quick brake response without boiling the fluid in ABS systems and even more so with electronic brake boosters and things like ACC.

No it is about color and moisture content. Dark brown or black the fluid is done, 3% - 3.5% moisture content the fluid is also done regardless of color.

That should read Dot 2 is not hydroscopic. Your truck your decisions. Jus keep in mind these newer systems are more prone to vapor lock because of the hydroscopic nature of the fluid. the more water it absorbs the lower the boiling point. ABS systems heat fluid much higher than older non ABS...
