I live in Massachusetts, any establishment that sells oil is required to take waste oil for recycling. The only issue I have ever had is AutoZone refused to take it because I didn't have receipt showing I bought the oil from them. Walmart doesn't care and takes what ever you bring back so that...

You are absolutely correct. I never heard of prefilling an oil filter until forums and the internet became common place. All through high school and college I worked in garages and no one ever prefilled an oil filter. Certainly can't hurt but I don't think you could ever measure a difference in...

I have almost 30k miles on my 21 Tremor and it has been perfect. It has not been on the dealer property since I drove it off.

Yes, I did remove the upfitter switch pod and no there there is not enough slack in the harness to relocate the upfitter switches. The upfitter pod is held to a frame by clips and was pried out with a plastic trim tool. I used an Autometer gauges pod mounted to a non Tremor tray that has clips...

Bulletproof except when Ford implements it. When the 5.0 Coyote was first released the gears in the oil pump failed quite often. Do a search on 5.0 Coyote oil pump and you will find all the big late model performance outfits either sell billet gears to go in the stock pump or replacement pumps...

Well that is interesting, seems the 21 and newer 5.0 in trucks has a belt driven pump. Prior to 21 and all 5.0s, 5.2s in Mustangs have a crank driven oil pump like the picture I posted.

The coyote 5.0 oil pump is driven by the crank shaft the same as the Gen 3 Hemi and LS engines. Here is a picture of the oil pump being removed from the crank.

FYI, I was reading an article about the three lights in the grill that have become popular on pickups these days. I always thought it was just a style thing but there is a federal regulation that any vehicle wider than 85" must display the three yellow lights on the front. Both the F150 Raptor...

I don't have anything against the current crop of compact pickups but I have a hard time considering them a truck since they are all based off a compact SUV with the back cut off to create a bed. Back in the day when El Caminos and Rancheros were the thing I didn't consider them a truck either...

FYI, I have a Tremor and a 1" level makes the rockers and frame under the cab level. All the Tremors I have seen pictures of with a 2" level are nose high if you use the rockers as a reference. There is still a little more gap in the rear wheel wells than the front but visually the truck is...

For me the best part of being retired is I feel no pressure to get things done. I certainly have plenty to do but I take my time and when I feel like stopping I do. I would love to sleep in past 5 am but the dogs won't have anything to do with that. ☹️

IMHO, the filter access on the Ranger is one of the easiest and with the little drainage shoot one of the least messy vehicles I have had over the past 50 years. All of the 4x4 pickups I have owned with a skid plate restricted access to the drain plug. The Ranger skid plate is by far the easiest...

I would venture a guess they are boot legged or are actually official releases that have not be released for the Ranger yet.

Go into settings on your sync screen and choose sync and there will be a menu item for a master reset.

Those are the wires for the brake controller. When you get the tow package Ford saw fit to not include the controller.

I am 70 and do all the repairs and maintenance on my vehicles. The only thing different than when I was 25 is it takes longer to get up off the floor. ☹️ My wife did me a big favor about 15 years ago when she bought me a lift. ? As a retirement project I bought a Factory Five Racing 33...

I ordered the shank that Grumpaw recommended (boy is that a heavy mother). It allowed me to lower the ball to be even with the trailers coupler when the trailer is level. I get about 1.5" of squat in the rear and about 1" rise in the front. When I attach the load distribution bars the trailer...

IMHO, a 2" lift on the front of a Tremor makes the nose sit high. A 1" lift is perfect (I have 1" on my Tremor). Also, I use the rocker as my reference for if the truck is level. When the rocker is level the wheel arch in the back will be a little higher than the front arch. FWIW, I purchased a...

Well then you have something broken in your transfer case or more likely since the display has no input it is just randomly showing numbers.

Well I have a 21 Tremor and it doesn't have it. The power distribution between the front and rear axles is a fixed 50/50 split. It's always going to be 50/50 because there is no center differential that would allow the torque distribution between the front and rear axles to vary like an AWD...
