I am a project engineer for an automotive safety systems supplier, actively validating multiple projects for the same OEM in multiple global markets. The North American region actually has higher standards for crash protection than the European, African, or Asian counterparts. Multi-stage...

Maybe on this platform specifically, but this engine has been deployed since 2015 and this topic is nothing new for eco-boost engines in general. Check google and you'll see F150 forums from ten years ago asking the same questions. Surely a solution would have come around after a decade of...

Well now I'm wondering if I just missed it lol I'll have to check again later, but I'm pretty sure mine doesn't do that. Maybe this just comes down to 2019 vs 2021 programming.

Yeah he can be rather snobby and none of the vehicles he complains about are ever that bad. Automotive journalists tend to be spoiled by the best of the industry, so vehicles that are fantastic to the average Joe look like shit to him. Like you said he clearly has a technical understanding...

I have also found tow mode to be the best performer in the mountains, but are you sure down shifting with the manual button takes you out of tow mode? It has been my experience that pressing the downshift button locks out the highest gear with each press. So pressing the downshift button once...

Fair enough, it never hurts to keep an eye on things. I have personally run three projects through conditioning including USCAR salt spray and my uncoated, carbon steel pressure vessels only experienced superficial amounts of corrosion. Gives me some confidence that these high end UCAs will be...

Only 4 years on the job, I'll often defer to the expertise of the veterans in the industry like Phil or most of my colleagues, but with all due respect I'm feeling confident with this one lol

Maybe I should have said "repeatedly submerged" lol I'm referring to an aluminum I-beam cradle that lifts or lowers a boat out of the water. The snowbirds have their cradles raised most of the year, but the locals can get daily salt baths before getting hung up to dry! It's actually pretty cool...

I would bring to everyone's attention all of the bare aluminum frame boat lifts down here in central Florida that are in nearly perfect condition after years of being submerged in saltwater.

That size will likely fit just fine. Best thing to do is try it out and adjust as needed once the tires are on.

Back tracking at its finest lol

I think there's a higher probability that he'll actually receive a Bronco than his new Jeep catching flames lol

The Chevy Colorado is a midsized truck, yes.

All Z71 trucks come with the Eaton G80, which is a true auto locker.

To be honest, I'd take a used JKU with the limited slip 3.73 rear axle over waiting on a bronco. My younger brother drives a 2014 Unlimited with the 3.6L, 6-speed manual, limited slip 3.73 differential, 3 inch tera flex lift and 285/70r17 K02s and it is just such a fun vehicle. We did...

Fox 2.0 leveling kit and bigger tires. Don't bother with the Ford performance kit and don't ask the dealer. Not worth the extra couple hundred bucks. Old Man Emu seems like a good package, but good luck getting finding the right kit. If you're getting the ARB bumper and a winch then there are...

I had a bracket made to match the tie-down hook mounting holes. I'm down a set of hooks, but I haven't missed them yet.

Just printed the Front Camber and Caster Adjustment procedure to share with the service manager that told me it's impossible to adjust camber on these Rangers. Thanks!

1) As an automotive engineer operating as the design authority for my projects I can say with confidence that manufacturing defects happen regardless of design quality. It's just how things go when large scale production is done affordably. Good luck finding any mass produced machine that offers...

I'm seriously doubting that he is in 4LO the whole time. The engine must be screaming at 40 mph
