Could be worse…

I bought it from member RC Mustang who was importing them from Australia. At least he was until Customs came after him for duty he owed. Haven’t seen him in a while.

My ‘21 Lariat Tremor has mirrors that fold when I shut off the engine and unfold when I start it. I think that qualifies as automatic? But I had to add a module to make it do that which I manually installed.

Could you incorporate a microphone into your system to provide an input of the engine as it’s running and then use something like a guitar pedal or vocal pedal to shift the frequency down. After you modify the signal then send it out to an amplifier and speaker. Maybe take the input somewhere...

No it does not. I replaced mine with black because the blue looked weird with Cactus Grey and had no issue with the camera.

Clay, Thanks! I appreciate the information and your well reasoned point of view. I’m learning some things. I also appreciate the conversation and that we keep this a civil discussion. There are many parts to this and I certainly don’t see all sides. By the way, have you read Daniel...

Floyd, Interesting conversation for sure! And I completely agree with you about news being mostly lies. Which is why I always try to refer to real data to try to understand what’s happening in the world. So let’s look at west Texas intermediate crude prices over the last 10 years. For sure...

Clay, thanks and I’m glad we are able to have a reasonable conversation. As it happens I work for a huge oil company and can say with “insider” information and confidence that our current high gas prices have little to do with anything the Dems are doing. Maybe something to do with what they...

Well if it happens that everyone tomorrow wakes up with an EV then yes, we’re screwed. But given the expected time for all this to roll out, upgrading the grid is totally doable and likely to actually result in lower cost for “fuel.” At least it’s pretty optimistic per this study from U of...

Well I’m not an expert in this but according to the gov’t coal is not the dominant fuel used to generate electricity. It’s been shrinking for decades and has been overtaken by natural gas. Still fossil fuel but much, much cleaner. Your point still valid that it’s fossil fuel but take a look...

CAFE standards were initially established in 1975 under Gerald Ford. Only predating Obama by 34 years. http://needtoknow.nas.edu/energy/energy-efficiency/cafe-standards/#:~:text=In%20December%202007%2C%20Congress%20passed,26.2%20mpg%20for%20light%20trucks.

Hi Benny, I’d like to order the Ford Performance Hood Hinge Mount Off Road Light Kit. Could you please send me a discount code? Thank you Kevin

yeah this is the one that annoys me

More severe duty will be associated with lower fuel economy. Towing for example causes the engine to operate much closer to full power than normal commute driving. Surprisingly, long periods of idle can be very severe for the engine oil. And of course high ambient and operating temperatures...

These are all correct. Full Synthetic oil is generally an oil blended with API Group III or IV base stocks. These have a higher viscosity index than the Group II stock used in most conventional oil formulations. The higher VI gives the better fuel economy and cold temperature performance as...

i don’t disagree with you but sadly the instructions are not available from Ford. In fact I got them off this forum after spending quite a while reading all the posts on the topic. I knew going in this was going to be a potential cluster.

My dealer honored the $100 labor charge I was quoted when I purchased the controller on the Ford website. However it took the mechanic a day and a half - basically 12 to 14 hours to do it. Labor rates here are $200 an hour. They were not happy. I also had to give them the instructions on how...

Jimmy, are you in the Kings Park subdivision? Neighborhood looks familiar. I grew up there.

The button in the middle with the “P” will turn the parking sensors on and off.

Gasoline is mostly toluene so sounds like you’re just buying gas diluted with a couple of common solvents and some alcohol. Stuff would probably give you a wicked buzz if you drank it. (Not recommended)
