But its a 1000.00 dollar maintenance requirement that shouldn't be needed. Honda has gone to chain on their 4 cyl engines but not their V6. As for Ford using a rubber belt for their oil pumps...yeah I got no answer for that either.

The latest gen Ridgeline was in my sights...until I verified that the 3.5 V6 still used a rubber band instead of a chain. I just need something that can haul about 3k on a trailer or thereabouts. I saw Old Blue and fell in love with the color. Took her home.

nah...I've only got 60k on my odo...still have about another 140k before I MAY jump lol

everyone needs to do an Italian Tuneup from time to time. :P I generally do mine when entering the freeway in the mornings. Truck has warmed up enough and I'll mat the accelerator until I get to about 90 then back off to 75 for a nice pleasant cruise to work.

Hopefully these are clear enough to get the numbers?

That is a clean looking truck :) I too would like a report on it later if you don't mind!

Here are a few questions for you. First you said new tires. New rims too or factory? And a silly question as they aren't very common but are they directional tires? Does it feel like a tire may be not balanced correctly? OR maybe there is a tire that required ALOT of balance weight placed...

My switch was a bit more drastic. So far the lane keeping has been about the same? Went from 255/75 to 255/65/17 - 30 to a 32 basically. D

So I went with the 2412 and it was spot on through 70 mph. Thanks! D

Mind the dirt :p

The center caps - not really sure? the ones they initially installed had broncos but they changed them out without any question to generic Ford. As for price? Probably a more active market down here in the greater Houston area so they can get a better markup? Again still cheaper than getting...

Hey all, found a nice deal on some Bronco take-offs. they are a bit larger than what I had - 255/75/17 vs the factory 2WD 255/65/17. First off, I could not believe the difference in the speedo lol. Using Waze to confirm I'm turning 70 on the speedo and 75 actual. Second, with that extra...

had to replace the fan about a year ago. BE CAREFUL!!! The fan I got I had to tap the holes where the fan attached to the grille! lol

Good grief...I was about to type "Insert Moby Dick comment here" oops...I just did...damn... :D

Hey not really familiar with Cali but we have a branch there in SLO and they are looking for an embedded software engineer. Looks like its a good ways from LA so not sure if its worth it but hey...never can tell. I'll PM you the info.

So I have to ask - these are motorcraft plugs I am assuming since they are factory no? I remember the awesome 2 piece 5.4 3 valve debacle... NGK or Denso (my two preferred brands) and some good anti-seize I think are in my future...

Okay so as I have never seen nor handled one - does this B&M dipstick allow the transmission to be filled as well or is it simply big enough for the indicator to go through? hurr durr - just did my own research and yes its for fill as well.

Gotta say I DO love the color :) Chevy's ain't bad but they aren't Ford's. You take care of it and I think it will take care of you. Cheers!

I wasn't sure about the styling of the 6G vs my 5G. It has grown on me a bit over the past few months. BUT With the economy looking as AWESOME (being facetious here so please...) as it is and the current state of how Ford is doing what with all the recalls (both from internal faux pas as well...

the wifes Civic has the blind spot camera on her car. it is rather nice I think. but I do have one question...why is it our blind spot monitor only kicks on the little LED in the mirror? Why not also say...change the color of the turn signal on the dash from green to yellow or red? OR have...
