Something to remember is that tire manufacturers have long ago switched to the letter rating system for load ratings on LT radial truck tires. The reason is that most load range D and E rated tires do not have 8 and 10 plies like the bias ply tires from many years past. Most today are only 3 ply...

Are these here the mats you didn't care for? If so, could you elaborate a bit? I was thinking of purchasing these for my truck. I live in SoCal, so mud, rain, and snow is not a big issue. However, the black carpet mats are not cutting it and want something to collect dirt when out in our local...

1965 Ford Falcon 2 door hardtop with 85K miles. It was my first Ford and daily driver. My Dad gave it to me for my 15th birthday along with my first Craftsman tool box filled with the basics. I had a year to get it running like it should. He taught me how to pull the C4 transmission to send...

Yep, you are correct. I think I was confusing it with the Corsa model which was introduced in 65.

Wow... Corvair's first year was 1965 and it already had rusted through the floor by 66 or 67? That's crazy. My grandfather was one of the first to purchase a Corvair here in San Diego. Because my Dad was familiar with air cooled engines and did a lot of work on V.W.'s in the family, he started...

Honestly, I'm not sure. You still have to pass a visual, though that's not a big deal unless you made an equipment change. I know that they can fail you for having a catch can.

I know that Ford Performance does a good job with their tunes. Living in SoCal, I chose one of their tunes for my Mustang GT that included an intake manifold and throttle body change. It performs well at the track, it's C.A.R.B. compliant, and I don't have to worry about the hassle of switching...

Yeah, I posted this in the large catch can thread. When these cans are mounted far away from the engine they will collect a lot more water than oil. This is especially true for the Ranger with such a large engine compartment and a 4 cyl. engine that will take a while to heat up that compartment...

These numbers are interesting. People with the Ford Performance tune seem to be reporting worse gas mileage, while many with the Livernois tune are reporting gas mileage gains or much smaller losses.

OK, now I know why it comes in a square box. These bumpers look great, but I have to ask. How strong is a bumper that comes in three pieces?

Is that bumper in a square box?

One thing I learned is to make sure you see the color in person. What you see in print media and on monitors is not what it looks like in person. I learned that before I had purchased my 2016 Mustang. A good example in the image above is the Lucid Red Pearl. It's the same color and paint code as...

Often, OEM tires are being built to manufacturer specs in order to help meet CAFE requirements. These specs focus more on improved rolling resistance and etc. and less on other attributes if it interferes with the intended goal. That is why some people comment that they like aftermarket tires...

Awesome, thanks!

Those wheels look good. What brand are they?

My wife's Jag F-Pace has a cool waterproof wrist band that acts as a key fob. It activates when you lock the keys in the car with the wrist band out of the car. We use it all the time when going to the beach. Upon return to the vehicle you simply place the wrist band near the J in Jaguar on the...

Regardless of the various ways to recalibrate tire size for the correct speed, a small change to a larger size should not make this truck feel sluggish. In addition, shift points are based on RPM's and not what the speedometer says, so a slight difference in speedometer error won't make a...

Looks nice! Is it one solid decal like the factory ones or separate pieces?

Naturally asperated engines - yes. Turbocharged engines - no. The less backpressure the better. I suggest you google "increasing backpressure on turbocharged engines". It's fairly interesting.
