No, I still have no clue as to what it is and it's happened several times since. I have determined that it only happens when accelerating slowly from a stop and only when turning right. It feels like it's directly under the drivers side floorboard.
Actually, the intention was not to induce the flaming, I just had no doubt that it would happen. The purpose was to get people to look at actual evidence (which I provided).
I used to believe in different things until evidence was provided to show that I was wrong. Growing wiser with age is...
Truce, but my opinion is still that if oil is still fine after 10k miles, it's wasteful to change it at 5K. I guess it's much less wasteful than the guys on the fuelly app driving rangers that are only getting 14-16 mpg on their new rangers (worse than my large but oh so comfortable, fast and...
Floyd, I premised my post by stating that I'm a current gearhead and a formal Ford tech, as to state I had a better than average understanding as what effects oil degradation, I'm sorry I didn't make that more clear.
As far as buying new being environmentally irresponsible, exactly how long...
I honestly haven't kept up with the state of motor oil recycling of late, but I know several years ago that most had given up on the practice, it just wasn't cost effective.
I decided to test what I already knew to be true, that modern engines with modern oils can go much longer between oil changes than engines of the past.
Many on this site and on most other forums still claim the Ford recommended 10K oil change interval is foolish. Being a hardcore gearhead...
From mining and drilling, just like coal, oil and natural gas. All these hydrocarbons must be replenished at every fill up, the precious metals stay with the vehicle and can be recycled when the vehicle is at the end of it's life.
It's loud, but not deafening because it's enclosed. It was a VERY tight fit and required a modified aftermarket mounting bracket to make it work. You may notice I lined the cavity with sound deadening material also.
I installed the ARB duel compressor last winter, but forgot to post. This thing will pump up the airbags in a second or two, it'll pump up a tire pretty damn fast too. I would hate to imagine how many hours I have in this install, but this setup in VERY handy in my business.
I own a super cab, it does not suffer the buffeting problem that most 4 door vehicles do when the front windows are cracked open a bit. I don't remember the truck suffering a wind noise when the windows are closed until I installed the AVS window guards; now there is a slight whistle at speeds...
It's true, the paint does look good, but looks are only skin deep (as they say) and in this case it's VERY thin skin. The real bothersome thing is that they just seem to appear out of nowhere; on my old truck, you knew what caused the damage, as you would hear the rock or experience the...
