The ability to control more and more of an engine's controls electronically and with superior engineering makes the engines more complex. Even if this is not a high-performance high revving motor Ford did something on the drawing board (now it is all with CAD and software modeling) that has...

This is a perfect example here of someone who is focused on bad assumptions and data. Just let it go. I have it is just not worth it.

If you want to educate yourself of the 2026 update for this engine, see below. Your comment is off base.

Just a word to the wise on the Ford Platty.... If you drive much on the highway or off road (caliche or gravel) get the bumper and the front exposed forward facing painted area covered with a good PPF. I had one Platty then a couple of King Ranches because at that time they had a chrome bumper...

I change my oil when the oil % from the oil monitoring system gets to 10% life. Tires are rotated for free at my tire dealer Discount Tire. I do them every 5 to 6k .

I agree--the GM steps have one motor. The ones I have installed myself have 2 motors on each side. On all of the previous one that were installed by me never any issues and that includes the ones on my 2024 Colorado Bison.

While in New Mexico Friday heard a horrible grinding noise. Got out looked everywhere even crawled underneath and nothing touching or rubbing anywhere then got back in and drove a few feet and there it was again. Turns out the driver's side power step motor had died and was grinding and the step...

Not the Raptor R but yes, the Raptor is just an option package as the vehicle is not even a SVT any longer. Had a TRX and it was a nightmare.

Well, you never know when Trumpy is gone what will happen. The CLA was passed initially in 1963 and modified several times the last time in 1990.

That is somewhat good news for the folks who do this. Unfortunately, it will still kill any resale or really the ability to trade in your vehicle because the dealer is then liable to bring it into compliance prior to future sale. Even in a wholesale at auction situation this must be disclosed.

Agree with your comments 100%. Could not have said it better myself. For almost 40 years have always done a suspension and tire modification (sometimes wheels) when I first buy them. I now have a Bison Colorado and a 2500 ZR2 both with 35x12.50 Goodyear Boulder MT's. Great on the road and just...

If these tire work for your application, then that is outstanding! (y) I have had many sets of the Nitto Ridge Grapplers over the years. Are a very good all-around tire and have 3 ply sidewalls, they were just not as good as a performer off the road as the current tire I am running on both...

Pretty much a mall crawler tire but it is cheap (made in East Aisa) not that there is anything wrong with that. Why people do not understand the old "Ply" system which is only for loads now not actual construction went away when bias ply tires went obsolete...

Cannot wait to get this one! The shutters on mine froze shut in an ice, sleet and snowstorm last year. Had to go to a car wash in Pecos and use the hot water to melt it all. Threw a check engine light and told me to pull over to prevent over heating lol. No problems after I melted it all off...

I have a lot of parasitic drain when IO forget to disconnect my cameras and my WeBost cell amplifiers. Keep one of these in each vehicle. No more issues.... https://no.co/gb150
