I worked for a AAA contractor during grad school, and we had a full service auto repair shop as well. One regular customer dropped her car off one day to see if we couldn’t find the source of a foul odor. The car wasn’t exceptionally dirty, just a little bit of fast food trash. This was not the odor. It was kinda like…

You probably didn’t have a reaction to the antigen component of the vaccine, but likely part of the substrate. Most are egg based, and if you might have an egg allergy, a recombinant-based vaccine will alleviate that. But you might also be having a reaction with another part of the vaccine such as one of the stabilizer…
Because this is the federal standard, it means states cannot implement shorter limits for this particular combination. States have a long history of caving to railroad lobbyist pressures to make trucking less efficient. If you picked up a state DOT book, you’d see a similar digram showing 75' maximum, or 85' or 95' or…
Pretty sure that’s because it’s just some hacked together Chevy cladding on the old F650 chassis. Then Ford ended production at the Navistar Blue Diamond plant, there was a production hole to fill, which they did with the new Chevy MDTs.
Every single auto maker does this. You have a 3-yr/36,000 bumper to bumper warranty, 5-yr/60,000 powertrain.
Even the Focus ST could use a 7th gear. Really, it’s my only complaint about the car.... Cruising at western interstate speeds makes it spin way too fast. It pulls 7% grades just fine at 45MPH in 6th. I’m sure it would hold 7th gear just fine at normal speeds.
Not good. It won’t do it stock. If you program it to roll coal, you foul the variable vane turbo. Stock, when it’s running right, its an extremely clean motor.
No, not that year. The first gen 6.7L was a POS. It’s expensive to keep running unless you delete the DPF and program out the EGR function (which will be difficult now with the Bullydog crackdown).
Transit tops out where the E-series picks up, in terms of GVWRs and payload.
I’m going to have to disagree here.... Once they reach the mileage where head gaskets are inevitable, value plummets. Even in Portland. Less common variants, like your GT, maybe not. But regular variants are lucky to get to blue book. Except after every snow storm. Then they double in value overnight, because every…
But you forgot the best part... The emergency exits of the 747 are the start of the water slides!
I don’t think any of them allow you to pair while driving. Maybe try giving her a minute before you take off? Some of them don’t even grey out the option or tell you it’s unavailable. The option just goes away once you put it in gear.
They announced that in 2015, and yet, the Flex is the only 2019 car on Ford’s website....
It was the dealer fucking around with ridiculous markups, and then never giving a straight forward answer on what they actually would sell it for. After getting plenty of BS from 3 dealers, I ended up with 1-year out Focus ST. Honestly their fuckery has me pretty turned off from ever shopping for a new Ford. When I…
Snow tires on mine too. Its better on snow than any AWD on shitty all seasons. FWIW some nice simple black alloys cost me less than steelies (I tried to rob the spares of salvage yard STs or Titaniums, but couldn’t find enough).
That was my thought exactly. I got surprised on a late night run by an Explorer P.I. gliding silently through the park, zero light whatsoever besides the laptop glow.
Rear track on E-series vans is 3" narrower. Engineering told one of the aftermarket builders that it was done to reduce bent-wheel warranty claims from curb strikes.
The E-series has a 3" narrower rear track than the front, so from the perspective of a following driver, it can look like it’s dog-tracking even when it’s not. One of the major aftermarket builders was told by engineering that it was done to reduce warranty claims from curb strikes bending wheels. They finally went…
Also another problem with Fuelly and trucks, is you can’t sort by use. Folks who tow always get the big motor. Folks who don’t tend want a more fuel efficient motor. Which skews the fuel economy data quite a bit further than what it would be if only like use were compared.
