My dads 2016 f150 2wd has it. A 2014 we test drove also had it.

The truck doesn’t have to be IFS to have CV’s explode due to a Detroit locker.

No it isn’t, its a legitimate selectable locker. I asked a Chevy sales person (years ago) if they would have a selectable rear locker like the F150 and he said they won’t because the gm has a “automatic one” and the Ford is inferior because its manual.:-) That made me think because Ford still offers the selectable…

I’m a little torn. I have a JK rubicon that is falling out of favor (with wife and me) because its just so slow on and off road because the suspension will punish you for any speed. The manual option is great but its not that great of a manual so for the first time in my life I may buy a automatic. I’m pretty set on…

Eaton E-locker which I believe is the same as in the Rubicon.

I really don’t see that at all. People with rubicon’s generally stick with the axles, people wanting to switch out the axles but the sport. Not saying it never happens but I haven’t seen a rubicon without rubicon axles ever.

I guess one would assume those multimatic shocks are worth keeping considering your article. They have less damping zones then the new raptor’s shocks but maybe they work better?? I know we have to wait till Monday to find out.

80 vs 95 ft lbs shouldn’t cause a failure. I’m thinking there was something else to blame as my experience is no tire shops use torque wrenches unless you ask them too

When some coils contact eachother the spring rate will increase, I’ve seen it on high end off-road coil overs for atvs and side by sides. It usually two different springs stacked on top of eachother. I have not seen it on cars or trucks. Even the Ford Raptor seems to have single rate coil springs in the front. If you…

A coil spring is just a coiled torsion bar. If they are made out of the same steel and have the exact same spring rate, pre load etc, then they would weigh the same. But coil springs literally store energy in torsion, and are constant stress springs exactly like torsion bars. Leaf springs store energy by bending and…

But it states in the article that the companies won’t be self regulating. They will have to pay to certify their cars. It seems like it will be law that automakers will have to use the laboratory so I don’t see the leverage automakers would have to influence the testing procedure, if anything this is going to cost…

Good Point: Based on a thermal expansion coefficient of 6E-6 (in/(in*R)) for cast iron a 0.001" increase in bore size would happen every 40 deg R or F.

I did some digging based on a bore of 4.185 and stroke of 3.253 a .001" inch bigger bore will result in a 0.17 increase in CI.

You should have compassion for your fellow people and people should look to people for help, the government is ill equipped to help individuals, or to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

That’s an interesting question an I may have read the same article with the wall street journal about a universal basic wage. Basically replace all the socialist programs; welfare, medicare, medicaid, social security etc, with a basic wage just for living and breathing and being over 21. It would be cheaper to manage,…

How does it compare to the Raptor on and off road?

Should a gallon of milk cost more for the rich? A new car? House? Where does it end? There is already a progressive tax, we need to keep an incentive to making money, like being able to spend it.

Yes you are allowed to make a living but you aren’t guaranteed one in a free capitalist country. Life sucks and there is always suffering, people should help their neighbors, friends, family, but it is not government’s job to make sure everyone makes a living, nor is it in the constitution. Nobody is entitled to a…

And it’s a perfect example as to why the law stipulating regressive fees should be reconsidered. 

It’s not a right to make a living in a non communist country.
