LOL , I've seen Jeeps break going down a flat hwy . This guy was just dumb .
Reminds me of a friend back in 2000 that drove his Chevy K truck into a deep mud hole at about 35mph and promptly hit a stump . He tore the frontend completely out from under the truck :)
Automotive paint use to be a single stage enamel process then single stage urethanes became popular during the 80's . These were one shot applications that used a catalyst mixed in to cure or harden the paint . You could sand and buff imperfections out as the color was all the way through from...
I hated those Brats . One pulled out in front of me in '88 and totaled my '75 TA that I had just painted Corvette Firethorn Red . The impact slung two kids over the side that were in the bed seats on to the hwy and I just knew I had killed them . Luckily they got up quickly and dusted it off ...
Welcome and great choice . I really wish one of the dealers here would have had a Tremor on the lot or could have told me when I would have gotten an order back in Sept when I needed a truck . I probably wouldn't have balked at $1k ADM and saved more than that in modding my FX4 . lol.
I still drive my old '91 Ranger to work and around town a lot . 330k miles and everything still works great . If it had a good coat of paint it would look like it was maybe 5 years old . 4.0 stick , no power windows , locks or options ,lol .
Then there's the '99 Jeep but it needs a rear locker...
Luckily you had it tinted already or you would be cleaning up glass for awhile . Window film really helps stop all that flying glass in an accident . Over the period of 20 years that I had the shop I witnessed 2 auto glasses shatter for apparently no reason . One was when a customer and I were...
I wonder if some type of Conformal Coating would work on the alternator . In my hobby when I build a drone I use the MG product in case I crash in water or even tall grass that is wet can fry the electronics .
It seems like you could treat the alternator just as easily ...
Received my OBDlink in the mail yesterday so downloaded Forscan this morning and dove right in . Easy peasy . The best $49 I've spent so far .
Turned off Auto Start Stop
Turned off the double horn honk when you close the door with Key Fob in your pocket.
Changed the PANIC to a double press of...
LOL , you can find anything on the internet . It would seem factory bedliners are flying off everywhere . Influencers really know how to draw their audience in .
We sprayed Line/X at my shop for 20 years but I'd order factory with no hesitation . Now if I find a couple guys in my truck bed with...
Factory sprayed liners are generally very well adhered to the paint . The paint is still fresh and the liner material bites into it better than some poorly scuffed beds . I've seen companies spray liners over beds simply scuffed with a scotch-brite pad which is fairly useless . After the...
I will echo what Phil said and state that it is not just Ford . All auto makers have to deal with the regulations ever changing . My '91 Ranger is in great shape but it lost all of its clearcoat in year 10 as if it was shedding its skin . It looks the same now as it did in 2011 so the basecoat...
A real man shifts his own transmission , rolls up his crank windows , uses that said window for AC and uses maps instead of Nav . Automate any one of those and you're a wuss
The Mercedes uses a probe that measures electrical resistance between the gap to calculate the oils viscosity . I was curious if Ford used a similar method .
