Yes, California has the highest state gas taxes of any state, by far. To make matters worse, we import a large share of our oil, even though California holds some of the country's largest reserves. It's also illegal for California gas stations to buy cheaper gas from across state lines since we...
In California, a new gas blend was introduced this past July that is supposed to reduce emissions by only a very small percentage. Some studies said it would increase the cost of gas by up to .65 cents per gallon due to the additional refining required, while others said an increase of .10 - .15...
Gave it a much-needed detail, which included a clay bar, 303 Graphine Nano Spray Coating, and installing a new Truxedo Sentry CT hard roll-up tonneau cover.
Are you referring to a leveling kit like this that involves mounting a spacer to the top of the shock mount? Or a complete coilover replacement that includes new springs and struts like this one here?
This is scrubbing with just a Magic Eraser.
This is after with 303 Protectant. The lighting makes it look less dark than it is. The big question is, how long will this last? These were replaced under warranty 18 months after purchase with the supposed "new and improved" trim pieces.
The...
I'm still getting reminder recall notices for the backup camera on my 2016 Mustang GT. What's the deal with Ford and backup cameras?
I experienced a black screen in my Mustang, but only when I was running it at the track (road courses). It works fine as long as I'm not at the track.
I used a 10-oz bottle for my deep pan install. I will use it again when I drain the fluid one more time to remove the majority of the old fluid over the next couple of thousand miles.
I'm at 57K for mileage and the pads are still good. I'm always dropping it into Sport mode to downshift when going down hills or coming to a stop at higher speeds. I think I've always been good with brake pads since my driving style is like a momentum machine. Quick braking followed by quick...
It's done! The new deep pan is installed. I'm posting this again since I was one of the lucky ones who had their posts deleted on the 24th with the server upgrade. :crazy:
I pulled 4 quarts last Tuesday night through the dipstick. The next morning, I pulled 2 more. On Thursday morning, I pulled...
Yes, but he stated he has the Pro Stage 2 coilovers. They come with an adjustable collar to set preload height and don't use the snap ring like the Pro Stage 1.
I went with the deep pan since I found it slightly cheaper than the standard depth. I have the same mileage on my 2020 and am making the upgrade for the same reasons.
FYI, RockAuto had the best price on Mercon ULV that I could find (as of last week). I checked my local auto parts stores. They...
Why 20" wheels on a Raptor? The less sidewall height you have, the less performance you have offroad and the more prone you are to wheel damage. Unless this is a mall queen only driven on the street? No offense if it is.
No. The distance you set the adjustable collar does not translate to the same amount of lift. The resulting amount of lift achieved (or reduced) is more than the distance the adjustable collar travels on the threads.
I'm going to be pumping out fluid today for the pan change. I will try to wait two days to get as much fluid as I can.
This morning, out of curiosity, I checked the cold level using @TJC methods. I think I detected a small amount of fluid at the very tip of the dipstick. It wasn't 1/8" though...
I just completed the Fitzstick install today. Took about 45 minutes. It took me about 15 minutes to figure out the best way to remove the plug. Contrary to what some assumed, it's aluminum, by the way. I used a flexible 3/8" ratchet and a 1-1/8" combo wrench as a cheater bar. Instead of bringing...
