Yeah, they did have an issue with synchros early on, but seem to been adequately fixed. I’d assume most that were affected already had warranty repair, and it doesn’t seem to be recurring.

There is only transfer case gear reduction when you shift into 4-low. 4-hi is still 1-1.
I would see no reason why not. The powertrain is very solid, as is the chassis.
Huh? That’s a AWD drive model shown. One that could send 100% torque to either end. Those are pretty decent in bad weather, especially the long body which has better weight distribution.
Is this actually more dangerous?
A new F150 is every bit as capable (payload and towing) while being substantially more powerful, than a F250 from the 90's, while getting double the fuel economy of the 460 V8. Thile the Powerstroke could sometime come close to the EcoBoost for fuel economy, only made 215 hp at the time and was even down on torque…
In rurul parts of SE Asia and South America, gas is sold in soda bottles, sometimes from roadside popsicle stands staffed with young children.
Our 2000 Jaguar S-Type has auto wipers that work flawlessly. At a stop, they wipe intermittent, move to steady on when up to speed if the rain is heavy, and will speed up when you get next to a truck throwing water.
No, this can happen to any solid-front axle with worn bushings. It’s only more often with Fords an Jeeps because you can easily lift them with just taller coils, but they makes the problem much worse.
Gotcha. Very understandable.
Also, go a a dealer that does performance mods. Mine installs them from Ford or anybody else, including adding forced induction. I’ve never heard of anybody have a warranty issue with them.
And air-to-air just won’t fit, without swapping to the ‘08+ front clip first.
I call it the PowerJoke myself:)
It is kinda hard in the vans, because they don’t have an intercooler, so as soon as you tune it, EGTs shoot sky high. The big issue with maintenance is doing anything under the valve covers is super cumbersome in the vans, and with the 7.3L being at last 15 years old at this point, stuff like o-rings, glow plugs,…
Yeah, E350s had either the V10 or diesel option. The V10 has a hefty price premium now in the used market, since the 7.3Ls are getting up there in age and the 6.0 diesel is a POS.
The V10 makes 80 more hp than the 7.3L, the same torque, and weighs 500 pounds less. Also maintenance is far less needy on the V10.
Next, people will say: “I don’t want an essyoovee; that’s what moms drive.” So what will be the next family car?
Yes, there will be some folks who won’t be able to easily charge. Around here (Portland area) there’s charging stations at every major grocery store, most major employers, city-owned Parking garages, and scattered around random streets. Even some of the Chevron stations have EV charging now. I did have some friends in…
Poor people shouldn’t buy new cars anyways.
