Lived in Colo. for 15 years and only ever bought regular (85 octane gas), including in high performance sport bikes. Never heard a knock, never had an engine issue over several hundred thousand miles on two and four wheels. And the number is the minimum. I'm curious what is the actual octane...

Wasted about an hour trying to get my new Android phone (Pixel 9) to Sync to the Ranger. Followed all the online instructions from Ford (mostly some form of turn it off and back on again, unpair/pair). None of that worked. Neither did Dr_Stangelove's method. This is what worked like a charm. I...

Ahh yes, the Tuscan, like the Tuscon but more compact to fit Italy's narrow streets. Reliability also questionable :)

Through random chance I was able to get a small ozone generator this weekend. I'll be using it in the truck and report the results.

:LOL:

Just realize that though you may get the smell out, "eventually" will be years in the future. I'm 2 years 2 months with my smoked in Ranger. Have wiped everything I could touch down with vinegar solution and various degreasers, have a virtual Ph.D. in air freshners, set off more scent 'bombs'...

I fix motorcycles as a hobby and I'm on at least a dozen sites for various makes/models and I'm an admin on the Honda 600RR site. The two categories that see the most action on all forums seems to "problems" and "mods." To a much lesser degree there's "news" about the vehicle but there's...

What were we talking about again?

I could fill up this thread all by myself :) I've had more bikes than birthdays. Last week at the Dragon Tail on my Buell 1125r

Ended up having to drive to Charlotte three weeks in a row: 90% highway, 360 miles round trip. Had a 400 pound motorcycle in the bed. Truck tells me I got 28.1 mpg. Gas pump tells me I got 26 two of the times and 24 the other time (I was pulling a trailer with a 400 pound bike on it that time...

Pic is after I got them home from a salvage auction. They sit in dirt and sand lots for weeks, sometimes months, so they look bad. The hope is that there's a gem underneath all the grime. Ducati has worked out great, have been riding it the last few days. It had no damage other than that the...

It's a truck. It's made for workin' not lookin at :like:

Added vinyl decals since it looked kinda bare back there. The guy who made them for me sent me the wrong colors initially so I have another set as pictured. They are long life outdoor vinyl. If anyone wants them for say $10 for shipping and hassle PM me and I'll mail them to you.

Husky brand because I'm economically aware (i.e. a cheap b*st*rd). Rear are very easy to install. Front a bit more difficult because the clip you have to use is a tight fit. No drilling though. $38 from Amazon Warehouse.

Almost done with my minor customizing. Added hood graphic so I can tell mine from all the other white trucks running around. Rocky Mt. Graphics: $50 (easily removable, many colors available, went with the matte black) Practical effect: Sporty look. No one has the exact same truck as you. Time...

Added the Husky mud flaps. On Amazon they get mostly 5 star but quite a few 1 star reviews. Both are correct. On the one hand they are thick plastic and should last forever at a good price, on the other the install is a bit of PitA as there's this thick clip you have to squeeze between the...

The likely reason 15% ethanol has a slightly higher octane rating is because ethanol is an octane booster. What's not to like about it? Well, ethanol has less energy density and is corrosive to rubber and certain plastics. It's basically moonshine. No one would choose to use it if it wasn't...

The death of a thousand cuts continues: Ordered the console tray and the ignition shroud. Installed something slightly more useful than a nightlight to keep the auto-stop off without pushing the button each time. It draws 2 watts. Amazon: $8 Practical effect: No more auto stop and no more...

Today's mail brought the Dee Zee tailgate piston. Not necessary but I put some Gorilla tape over the knuckle because the cable rubs against it when you close it. You do stuff like that when you have an expensive new toy ;) Amazon Warehouse: $28. Practical effect: will save someone (probably...

Bought mine used and the PO had ordered it with the color tailgate letters (not raised) and the stone guard. Both are really good bang for your buck to make it stand out a little IMO.
