Taking it to dealer next week scheduled today. The sound has gotten so nasty the driveshaft sounds like it’s going to blow off every time it hit the gas. Over the phone they said they think it’s probably a bad U-joint which they will try and wrestle Ford to cover under goodwill. I am technically...

Ford seems to be selling pretty good despite the prices, but Ram is down 30%. We know Ram is faltering because they got rid of the V8, nobody wants that I-6 so they are giving them away and even then nobody takes them. The old CEO from the Hellcat era was just brought back and they fired the guy...

It doesn’t need to be, he just spews nonsense over and over. It’s like those people who lie to themselves so much they fabricate their own reality and believe it to be true.

It’s really a non issue and oils the engine better than a traditional gerator pump. The 2.7 has used this belt for 7 model years now and there are no mass or even common failures. The fear mongering is silly and I see so much false information posted on it all the time. This design gets you...

False

It’s not on the back of the engine, it’s up front and crank driven. No, there are no known major issues. It seems they last to about 300k miles or so from what I’ve seen online in the 2.7 and LZO. The one in the 1.5 EB came apart due to the tensioner arm system loosening the belt, had nothing to...

High trims are maybe 5-10% of overall salves volume, they aren’t making much money there. Per unit yes, not really overall.

The 6.2 was my fav, such a great powertrain.

Hybrid 5.0L would be welcomed by me, I’d order that tomorrow. Single cab Raptor would be cool as hell, even bring back the SuperCab Raptor. PHEV option.

Almost 2 years and 37k miles now, time for you to get in and drive!

That’s why I got Area 51 Blue, never have had that issue 😁

My cousins 1794 with TRD package has the locker but it’s all but useless since you can only use it in 4L. If you can’t engage in 2WD might as well not even have it.

At 190 miles your valves and rings aren’t even seated yet, I don’t think you can draw any conclusions about this being an issue until you have 1000 miles to be honest. These engines also create a lot of condensation smoke on startup in the colder weather due to the high compression ratio, I...

Shelter is out of control just about everywhere, housing is up and it’s impossible to get a mortgage. The bank would only go in 70 (Me) and 30 (Them) with nearly a quarter of a million in income and a 780 credit score and no debt due to age and being self employed. I just told the banks to eff...

US Steel Corporation is no longer US-owned as of 2024. Just because they produce it here doesn’t mean domestically owned. It’s now Japanese owned. What happens to these now Japanese assets if the US & Japan don’t get along?

Certain tariffs protect vulnerable domestic industry (steel, automotive, aerospace, lumber) which is a net positive for domestic companies whether consumers pay more in the short term or not. It’s like thwarting invasive species, net positive. You are paying more for American labor and keeping...

I thought about that but priorities shifted for the truck early on, that’s what the Mustang is for. The F-150 just doesn’t have the handling to really enjoy the power to its full potential.

Wheeeeeeeeeee *shift* wheeeeeeeeeee *shift* wheeeeeeee and I blow by all your slow ass pickups in my GT-500

I thought of one, I do like the camera mirror GM runs on upper trims. Nothing obstructs it.

I have always held firm in my stance if you own a business and tow 4,000-7,000 lbs regularly the 5.0L V8 is second to none in the half ton segment. It’s the best blend of reliability, power, and mpg. My buddy who owns a roofing business and tows a 18 footer has both a 2020 5.0 and a 2023...
