Over on the Tundra forums the alternative that this Banks guy makes is king. The Tundra has a very tame pedal response post 2014 model year. The dreaded "dead pedal" that this Banks guy asserts about competition almost seems like more of a myth. Lots of people using pedal commanders and I've yet...

You know the shame for Ford is they had things perfectly set up to price ladder me into an F-150. I have a Ranger and love it, but I just don’t love the transmission. As my hobbies in life have changed, I need to grow into a full size. So I would have gone F150, but I just decided I don’t like...

i had my HVAC box and all that crud replaced last year. This year since it's been cold i've noticed that the heat blasts out to my feet from the center stack, but not on the left side of the driver area. So my leg closer to the door is chillier than my leg towards the inside of the car. I wasn't...

phew... things could be worse. according to my 8th grade health class teacher, young and amorous couples who attempted a double gasket for added protection ended up with a child! now THAT'S an expensive boo-boo!

concur. if both sides are set to, say 71 degrees, and one side is blasting heat and the other cold then there's clearly a problem. it's new dealer time.

I bought my 2019 used with 22k miles on it, certified, and it also has always had that cold engine bump when going into 2nd or 3rd. It also cures up after it warms up. This is actually the basis of why I always remote start in cold months to let the truck warm up. I always remote start the...

agree here. i saw this on Car Dealership Guy's twitter (I love reading the data he posts): LINK for those who want the post itself Always gotta be leery of anyone trying to predict the future in any way, but i've shopped my ranger around a bunch since summer looking for a full size. every time...

dang folks, homie just askin a question. after three years with this truck I’ve seen considerable variance in that recovery tank. Sometimes it looks low, sometimes it looks high. I couldn’t tell you the rhyme or reason for it (I’m not mechanically inclined enough to know). I can only say that...

With video evidence (of the road rager) I feel like there should be some sort of option at your disposal like a civil case for damages. A submission to the local law enforcement authority displaying the poor resolution identified by the police officer despite video evidence of a traffic...

the below isn't a knock on your perspective at all, just kind of how i'm looking at the next 10 years for myself: between my family's experience growing up, and my own vehicle ownership, it was very rare to see a vehicle make it past 200k miles without some major component failure (usually the...

yessir, i've been shopping the materials to do so this morning. it's so easy to do, i might as well do the front and transfer case too. i've seen numerous people on the forums claim this really improved the driving satisfaction too. so ultimately i'm glad i spooked myself into checking on this...

i'm at approx 63k miles and my 2019 has been largely great. my issues: bucking/surging epidemic -- solved via this forum; heater HVAC blend gate assembly -- diagnosed via this forum, confirmed at dealer, Ford covered 75% of the cost despite me being out of warranty. as others have noted...

Yeah, totally agree. The extra road grime made the small amount of oil appear to "bloom" outward on the back of the diff. Makes total sense.

In prep to attack this assignment I went and watched a few videos on the diffs and transfer case. Interestingly, they all had some weeping around the full bolt like this. Mine appears to look the largest, but I suspect that’s just because I have some extra road grime on the diff cover that...

Eeeexcellent info, all! Thanks! Yeah I’ll go for the refill, clean, and monitor. Much appreciated!

I tried googling and searching on this forum, but didn’t see this pop up anywhere for the 5th gen. Truck is running great, but I was underneath it doing some quick routine inspections when I saw the plug on the rear diff was wet. Doesn’t look awful, but here it is: and here’s a closer shot...

i inherited a 1992 (or maybe it was a '95?) Toyota Pickup when i went off to college. I always enjoyed the exchanges at the BMV when updating registration in person. BMV: Make and model of your vehicle? Me: Toyota Pickup. BMV: What model? Me: Pickup. BMV: Yes, but which Pickup? Me: Pickup...

1) i have a couple rock chips on the front of my hood, this probably would have prevented that.. so i should probably get this. 2) got daym i love the color on your truck. i got an all black and that's perfectly okay, but i wish i got something like this! beautiful

Off topic: Royal Enfield's reliability is actually pretty decent! I think their machines are just a lot simpler than the complicated gadgetry put forth by other manufacturers. That being said, the service intervals of some of the Royal Enfield's kinda suck. More frequent valve checks than most...

That isn’t entirely accurate. I called multiple private shops and all of them landed in the same price range as the dealer. I asked if 11 hours was reasonable and they said that “sounded about right.” There’s one particular private shop I take my cars to because they do great work. The manager...
