I had mine refreshed early on as part of a TSB. Most of the time it shifts smoothly in D going 1-2-4-6-78910. It was doing 1-3-SLAM 5-678910. Once in a great while it will revert to the hard 5 pattern., but not as rough. Slow n go and/or 4H, I use Trailer tow. 10-4 on the downshifts. The...

Clint will be 95 years old on May 31st (1930),and still active in films. One story goes that, In a conversation with Toby Kieth, he was asked how he stays sharp and active. His response was, "I get up every morning and I go out. And I don't let the old man in." This inspired Kieth to write a...

Ford vs Ferrari was the most recent theater movie for me. Before that, Mule; always enjoy a theater showing of a Clint Eastwood movie, but haven't seen Cry Macho yet.

There is the Keyhole satellite constellation for that...

Update: I'm back in SD and while heading to Custer, I filled up in Mitchell. with 91 E-0. 19+ mph head/crosswinds with higher gusts and light to moderate rain. I ran 70-80 mph depending on the weather, and the fuel computer showed 13.3. Me and the wife, a cooler and two overnight bags. Filled...

My worst was 15.3mpg driving to Custer, SD against a strong west wind. It'll drop into the high teens in winter with 5-10 min. warmups. Is most of your driving in heavy and/or stop & go traffic? Even with the long brake pedal travel on 5G Rangers, resting the left foot on the pedal can still...

It looks to me like a mid 90's MB E-class.

The points go on, they just won't accumulate with the card after 5/27 when FordPass ends its relationship with First Bank National of Omaha (FBNO). The points should still be awarded and honored independently when you buy Ford parts/accessories/maintenance/repairs, but they won't accumulate on...

In urban/suburban traffic with speeds of 40mph or less, I put it in tow/haul mode. It disables the ASS and keeps the engine turning about 200rpms higher, which is nice not having it jump into 6th 200ft from the next light. I also try to remember, unsuccessfully usually, to turn the ASS off...

There is no need to turn off the Climate Control in traffic. When you are stopped with the Engine shut off by the ASS, the AC compressor also stops turning, and the only thing running is the cabin fan. Once the temp sensor detects that cabin temp has risen a certain amount, the engine restarts...

I think it will look sharp once you finish the interior and put the door back on- what wheels are you thinking? Nice Tracer too Jacob, congrats. What year is it?

With a lift, the driveshaft is turning at an increased angle, and can cause stress at the trunnions and cross(es), this can cause premature wear in some cases. Someone mentioned that they thought Dana"s quality has diminished, so maybe cheaper O-rings degrade faster, causing loss of lubricant.

Now you're scaring me @Grumpaw! Maybe I should name her Christine. I have the last laff; the free subscription ends June 26th...Doesn't it?? Please?? Good Lord what did I buy??

Actually it requires you to have your hands on the wheel at all times. If you remove them, after awhile you get a warning message. I think the Lincoln version might allow hands free, and auto lane changing. Some GM versions do, too.

Subscription-based cruise control, It came with my Explorer .The hardware is standard with no delete option, and the subscription is no charge for the first three years. It does have regular cruise control, and you can set that as the default from the menu, but it chimes three times and it...

10-4 steer from the rear for the win.

Glad you're healing well, James.For now, you can preface every sentence with "Arrrrr!!"

You do have to tell them to use points, they won't do it by default.
