I was listening to Bloomberg Odd Lots the other day on an episode about property insurance and they also said that in that market at least (probably also for auto) insurers issue a lot of bonds also as part of their financing structure and so a lot of insurers are also getting slammed by higher...

I finally replaced mine with an H8 (AC Delco AGM Gold for $180 on Amazon) on my 21 and so far it’s amazing. I can’t remember the last time I’ve had a fully functioning battery - I think this is the first time I’ve had auto stop start work consistently I’ve been getting updates every few days (I...

I finally replaced my battery that has been preventing updates since probably October or November and have been getting an every 2 to 3 days but i’m still in the 23 update era

Let’s hope though not sure I’m holding my breath… We twice a month drive down to our cabin and the drive is 145 miles of mostly straight 2 way 65mph roads and even though I’m sure would still mostly rest hand on the wheel (as I end up doing on highways anyway with BC) this would make the drive...

I just put a retrax one XR on last week after 3 years with some $150 Amazon roll up cover. Was easy to install and way better than the roll up since it actually stays latched and doesn’t have a big gash where someone cut it open a few years ago. After some crazy wind the other week blew it up...

Street parking here. If we had a garage would rather use the space for a workshop than a house for a car.

Are they load rated with the HDDP? Mine is 35psi for all 4. If they are how much do they weigh? That might be a big culprit

I have a 21 3.5L 501A with max tow and get around 22-24 highway (generally keep it under 70 occasionally get up to 90-100 when passing but very short periods) with Michelin Defenders and about 1 mpg less with snow tires. Don’t do a ton of driving around town but it drains gas since the auto stop...

I’m not sure steering angle is an input so much as it just works like any AWD system in that it reduces power to automatically to keep wheel spin constant. There are mechanical fluid based AWD systems that manage this without additional “inputs”. While im sure this electronic im guessing the...

I live in CO and have snow tires (Bridgestone Blizzack) and use 4A in the snow 99% of the time. I only use 4H getting up our driveway to our mountain house which has a steep 90 degree turn and sometimes snow up to 8 or 10”. like most things with 4wd/awe the benefits are low speed for the extra...

Look you can visit just drive 5 over the speed limit like you would anywhere else. That is my only request.

This thread has definitely taken some turns and so my apologies if this has been addressed already but… I live in CO where 85 octane (NOT E85 that is 85% ethanol and can handle higher compression but do not use unless vehicle designed for it) is “regular” - I have been advised by people who...

Update: Ford Pass tells me two updates happened last night about a half hour apart. Haven’t been out to truck to see what they were but this is since the 6.1.0. Will update if/when I get more info.

Also got this today after 4.2.6 earlier this week. Hadn’t received an update since July but two in 3 days!

I bought a pair of Duratracs when I bought my truck in Jan 21. Took them off last year after two winters of not being able to make it up our driveway if more than an inch or two of snow without putting on chains. Put in Blizzaks for winter which was world of difference and then summer I’m now on...

I typically go the middle route and take it the self wash car wash (but also don’t have a garage and street park so hand washing not really an option). That being said it’s been 6 months since I last washed the truck and I’m starting to think I’ve been too precious so will probably start just...

Thank you much! Super simple will give this a try today.

How does one reset the bus? I think mine had always been jacked up. Eventually updates install but it usually requires a 3+ hour drive to get to a point where it will. Another symptom of this is my auto start stop almost never works since it is always on battery charging. My truck was built...

Yeah - I always loved cruising up the mountain roads during a storm with my old GTI with Blizzaks passing trucks/Jeeps/Subarus etc stuck sliding off the side with all season tires. The problem with that was I more than once high centered it in deep snow. Prior to putting Blizzaks on the truck I...

I didn’t spend a ton of time on stock tires but I took a 2-3 mpg hit with Duratrac. Went from 18-19 overall most tanks with 3.5L Ecoboost (calculated by hand) over about 25k miles to 21-22 since taking them off in December (mostly with Bridgestone Blizzak, but about same with Defender). So...
