You have a point here, except that last statement there is something I’m not so sure of…& i own a BTC (yep- 1 single coin lol)….i think the potential for govt issued crypto globally & collectively govt’s fondness for effecting currencies on THEIR terms will ultimately dampen the widespread...
If they did it w/ the Eray corvette then they sure as sh*t can make a case for a hybrid off-road truck even if it adds some weight I’ve been all over the EVs & the nonsense story behind them form day 1, I know if intimately, work in the industry myself. BUT a non-plug in hybrid like the Eray is...
In the “modern” era (10th gen F150 from ‘97 on) Ford has gone anywhere from 5 to 7 years in between redesigns, last gen was 6 years - do we expect this current generation F150/Raptor to go through 2026 or do you think it may run out to ‘27? Seems like it was a fairly heavy redesign particular...
Im at 66k miles, my maintenance has been as such (I plan on keeping for 120-150k miles)
engine oil every 5k
Rear diff every 15-20k (have a performance diff cover w/ makes it easy)
Front diff/T-case every 30-35k
Spark plugs every 30-40k
Engine air filter 2x a year
Cabin air filter 1x a year...
I don’t know if you read my post correctly- I’m saying I’m not bothering w/ the Fox factory adjustable 3.0s @ that price point w/ the mile on my truck & if you can get NEW Fox OEM live valve shocks for around $2200 all 4 corners then I also don’t see why anyone would go the rebuild/swap route...
$3800 for the fox factory 3.0 adjustables tho? Seems like TSW rebuilds w/ a core charge are no great bargain- I think better route would be getting brand new shocks all 4 corners for $2200 + install then selling you used take-offs for the best deal
You can get
Yeah I know all that was just ribbing ya b/c I know it’s 100% a GM OEM affiliate, & I used to handle akebono’s scrap generation for N. America, they have good quality control that’s the best you can ask for.
I’m surprised your brakes didn’t hold up well I’m now @ 65k miles & besides a shimmy on...
My ‘18 that got totaled @ 45k miles still had life left in the shocks for sure, but I’d say they were more worn @ 45k miles under similar use conditions than my ‘20 is w/ 65k miles- maybe the live valves last longer?
Either way- can anyone confirm if you can just buy new OEM live valves? I’d...
Yeah that seems crazy low it would have me scratching my head, not necessarily good to just have a Vehicle sitting w/o being used at all unless it was someone literally only putting 2500 miles evenly per year
I have 65k miles on my ‘20, w/ a good chunk of miles hauling a double jetski trailer + 2 dogs 2 kids wife & gear, probably up to 5k miles easy loaded up like that, my shocks are still definitely fine & showing no sign of obvious wear the ride is still plush on & offroad
The leaf springs are...
If get a ‘23 & see if you can get a discount, you obviously have no shortage of vehicles to drive in the meantime- so take your time & find the exact vehicle you want for the best deal
I had a ‘98 ranger that went 178k miles w/o issue until my friend totaled it, then had an ‘89 Ranger that went 280k miles on the original clutch!! Brake lines blew on me so I took it the junk yard lol, used it as a beater for a couple seasons during winter/bad weather when I was trying to keep...
I run the Nokian Hakkapelitta (spelling?) on my Raptor but if I couldn’t get em I’d 100% go w/ the Duratracs b/c you can get em studded, which would improve winter traction all around despite not being a true winter tire- they have good siping but the studs help quite a bit.
I originally had my...
wait until engine compartment is dry & mostly “clean” then Douse em w/ this stuff- Yamashield, then wipe down w/ microfiber cloth & let it set. Give it 30-40 mins then give another lighter coat & do not wipe off, let set 60 mins put on a 3rd coat be good to go
This stuff is formulated for...
Wtf you talking about most any dyno can put a 1/2 ton crew cab short bed truck on it no problem, now- some shops don’t like putting trucks on b/c they got long ass driveshafts & depending on the gearing you have to get to a fairly high speed for proper 1:1 ratio or whatever they shoot for &...
I could school everyone on the realities of EVs/auto manufacturing/recycling/mining etc. (literally my industy(s)) BUT I’ll refrain for now & just point out the last poster you’re quoting specified SOLAR power to charge his Tesla plaid during the zombie apocalypse…which certainly isn’t an...
lol it gets hate cuz it looks like what a 9 year old kid circa 1979 would come up w/ if he was asked quite literally to “draw a cybertruck” - I mean it looks hideous
I love Elon tho…zero F’s to give, he develops & delivers a product that the market/consumers wanted BEFORE being “mandated” in...
I cracked mine & had replaced it, can’t remember what the price was, def expensive but not that much
Got it @ either Levittown or Tasca
Edit- now that I think of it I swapped the BLIS sensor when I did it to save $$$, I also cleaned it up a bit had oxidization on the heat sink or whatever...
Why get that when you can get the Hummer EV? Is the cyber truck gonna be cheaper? It kinda looks….like my 8 year old designed it, but the performance is cool
I’ve used this kit on previous trucks & always had good luck & seemed to get more miles out of them than OEM
That being said….somehow I’m @ 62k miles on my 2020 & still have meat on the brakes, I do get a lil shimmy when lightly braking from high speed (70-90) but otherwise they work fine...
This reminds of end link noise on C5/C6 vettes GM used cheapo plastic/composite end links that would wear way before anything else in the suspension did, much easier to pick up on tho b/c the suspension/steering is obviously so much tighter to begin w/ on those.
Anyone know if Ford ever...
Would you cry if I told you ALL of those
Mods could be thrown in the trash & the tune alone you’d get from goosed would make all the bolt-ons pointless?
Don’t worry tho- they will only help & perform better w/ a tune too tho!
