Thanks for the condolences. My advice if you are in a decades long marriage and you are still each others best friends is... be selfish...die first.
As for pictures:
About the transmission, I don't know what they did between the 2021 Ranger version and the 2025 Bronco version, but SO much...
Since my Wife got sick with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in early March and passed from transplant complications in late november 2024 I realy haven't been on here much. It was really her truck.
Now I've gone and traded it in for a new Bronco. With locking axles on both ends. No more worrying...
Chrysler Corp was before, during, (remember the K platform?), and long after Lee a "hot mess".
But your 6 figure Dodge/Plymouth all had the worst build quality of the big 3. Iacocca had nothing to do with them. Before his reign.
Never lifted a head off a Mopar that didn't have a major ring ridge...
Full fluid replacement requires a flush because torque converter drain plugs were deleted decades ago.
So a pan drop, filter replacement, and replace 1/2 the fluid or a flush, pan drop, and filter and all fluid?
We must have lived those years in an alternate universe if you considered the illustrated vehicles to be "reliable".
My preferred rides were Chrysler products and I can attest that Plymouth/Dodge build quality was sub par but the torsion bar suspension handled way better.
When I Was getting paid to haul large quantities of liquid propane down public roads the company I worked for paid to fly me 600 miles and put me up in a hotel for 3 nights to take a drivers training course. The Smith Course.
The gist of the course was use whatever legal means to create space...
You run people off the road when you don't like that they can't maintain a speed? How would you know that somebody was doing this to you? Especially since you are paying so little attention to your own driving that you simply didn't use the left lane and go around the car that was driving slower...
I really don't like ACC
I really don't like people racing up behind me then slowing to my speed and just sitting there when they could easily pass.
I get to show that hate for both by slowly slowing down when the ACC guy gets behind me. It's a game. Best so far was 76 MPH down to 57 MPH. Then...
Pull
Pull through in a parking lot or the angled end spot are the preferred, backing in is second.
A pull through next to the dead end of the cart return!!!!
