Found this on an F150 forum.
"Something to note about the EB Engines vs other DI engines on the market, is that Ford uses reversion via cam phasing to get some cleaning done during deceleration.
So as you are slowing down, reversion ingests some of the fuel in the combustion chamber, back into...
We had a wet spot investigated yesterday, the tech said our drainfield is not taking water. F***k! I have no idea where to go from here. The house was built in 1962, all lines leading to the drainfield were replaced in 2015. We have a big-ass magnolia that I am sure isn't helping matters. The...

I didn't know what key words to search for, so if this is in another thread, please merge there.
I just watched a compelling video illustrating the potential danger of routing a dash cam cable across the a-pillar. If the ranger airbag runs down the length of the a-pillar, and you simply stuff...
Just received a NOCO Genius 10, new from Amazon, but it came with no operating instructions. How do you get to repair mode? I tried it, you press and hold the power button, then toggle to Repair mode, then it just blinks for a few hours, then just shows a yellowed out power button. Did it...
First off, their rendition of Low Rider is appalling. But they showcase a beautiful 64ish Mustang with all emblems and logos removed. How disrespectful! I mean, it's clearly a Mustang. Who cares about the branding and logos? F***ing drug commercials.
In Sept I posted about an accident involving a '2000 Ranger that got totally demolished, the cab being completely separated from the frame. Then today a friend shared this.

What good is a water-saving (1.2GPF) toilet if you have to do follow-up flushes? Someone on here mentioned special ordering a sort of mega flush toilet to fix such an issue, but I can't find the post.
I have tried numerous things to avoid a second flush, clean the holes in the top of the inside...
After recently downloading Waze and using it for a few days, I realized that Google Maps was no longer an option in Sync. I am using AAWireless and Waze always pops up by default, no more Gmaps icon. Don't get me wrong, Waze is really good, the speed zone function is nice and more accurate than...
I have been doing a little research into solar generators and am intrigued at their features. There is a wide array available depending on how much back up power you need. Features I like are, no gasoline required, you can use them inside, you can keep them ready to go by charging with AC, you...
My Garmin GPS with built-in dashcam finally bit the dust. I think the internal battery is dead and I am going to try to see if I can replace it. But assuming I can't, I am looking at options. Sure I can get a newer, better dashcam, but there are a couple of features the the Garmin had that I...
On the way home from an unsuccessful deer hunting trek this evening, hit a fawn. Luckily there was little to no damage based on a quick flash light inspection. Even the air dam seems intact. The sound is part strike and part anti-lock brakes. I hope this satisfies the Ranger's lifetime deer hit...
I kept getting a message on the Sync screen that an update for AAWireless was available. When I clicked on it, it said "no phone", even though my phone was right there. So I brought AAWirelss up on my phone and clicked update, and with "no phone" still showing on the truck, it updated and...
I was discussing the pros and cons (mostly cons from him) about having work done at the dealership. He said one reason it's not a good idea is because the mechanics only earn half the hourly rate for warranty work. My BS sensor immediately went wild. He proceeded to tell me about how Subaru went...
Took the Ranger in this morning for The Works, brake fluid fush, and transmission flush. Leaving the dealership I hit mostly smooth slightly hilly roads with a speed limit of 60. I immediately noticed a minor change in handling, kinda drifty, I shrugged it off to maybe the rear tires being moved...
