I have lived in Massachusetts for all but 3 of my 73 years and I have never seen a rattlesnake or know anyone that has seen one. I have been told they are in the Blue Hills but again I haven't seen one or have heard of anyone having an encounter with one. I live in South Eastern Massachusetts...

There are only two kinds of snakes I don't like, they would be live ones and dead ones. Anyway, a number of years ago I was working at an engineering test lab in Santa Clarita, CA, on the first day there as I pulled into the parking lot there was a sign stating to watch out for rattlesnakes in...

I go regularly to two shows that run April through October in Massachusetts. Sunday mornings is the Rebels & Rods on the waterfront in Plymouth MA. There is typically about 400 cars, trucks and motorcycles at this cruise. Every other Thursday at Patriot Place in front of the Bass Pro store is...

FWIW. I purchased an SCT X4 from Steeda in 2013 for my Focus ST that came with a custom tune. I latter purchased a 15 Mustang and Steeda provided a tune to use with the same X4. I latter purchased a tune from Unleashed for the Mustang and used the same X4. When I purchased my 21 Ranger I went...

The 2.3 Ecoboost engine uses a speed density control system meaning venting the oil fill cap will not have any impact on controlling the air fuel mixture. However, there is a sensor in the PCV system that measures air flow and venting the oil fill cap will/can cause check engine light and a...

FWIW, based on the picture I would say that system is 409 stainless not 304. 409 is much less expensive than 304 and will still corrode but very slowly. 409 is what the OEMs use.

I fished a coat hanger up from under the dash into the tray area then taped all the wires to the coat hanger and pulled them back down under the dash. Power for the gauges and lighting came from the fuse panel via an add-a-circuit. The vacuum/boost gauge has a vacuum line tee'd into a vacuum...

I removed the up fitter switch pod on my Tremor and replaced it with the non Tremor tray with this Autometer gauge pod. The gauges are GloShift.

I have adopted two Dachshunds that were transported by the Weiner Express from the Carolinas to us in Massachusetts. Each volunteer drives a 50 to 75 mile leg and some will keep the dogs overnight.

Here is the /6 that was originally in my 68 Barracuda. Even with all the mods it was still a dog but did get a lot of attention at car shows. The 360 I built for it makes at least double the built /6. The /6 I originally built for the Cuda. Here is the 360 that replaced the /6. Here is the...

I am still MOPAR at heart but have always purchased what served my needs and wallet best. I even have a "South Shore Mopars" sticker on the back window of my Ranger. Here are my current Mopars; 68 Barracuda I have owned for 28 years. My Hemi powered 33 Ford Hot Rod. My wife's 21 Jeep Cherokee.

The truck they have in other markets are compact unibody vehicle like the Maverick. The article states they don't know much about what the midsize for the north American will be. Articles I have seen state it will be a body on frame. The picture in the article is a rendering, it may or may not...

I had 3 Dakotas that I put almost 600,000 mostly trouble free miles on. I would likely be driving number 4 if it was still in production when I purchased the Ranger in 21. If it looks as good as some of the renderings I have seen I will likely be driving another one.

Please refer to my post right above this one for all the things that can cause tires to make noise and/or change the level of noise they make.

That's totally untrue. There is a multitude of reasons why a tire would generate noise. Uneven tread wear or a tire defect for sure. But tread design, rubber compound, road surface, tread wear or ambient temperature can all cause the tire to make more or less noise. The noise a tire makes is...

You could go for a highway tire but anyone of the road focused all terrains would be a good choice. Tire Rack categorizes to help with chosing.

Well there was no uneven tread wear on the tires. I measured them so I could post them on Facebook Market Place. All 4 had 1/4" of tread depth across the tire and there was no scalloping or cupping. They sold in less than a week.

Those were one of the tires I was looking at. I went with the Pirellis because of the deal I got on the tires. $166 per tire including the Pirelli instant rebate.

Well the original Grabbers did not wear out prematurely. They had 50+k miles on them and still had 1/4" of tread depth, they easily exceeded the 50k mile tread wear warranty. There was no unusual tread wear going on. I replaced them because they were getting noisy and the wife was complaining.

Perelli has 5 different tires in the Scorpion line. The ATR I have is classified as an all terrain the is primarily focused for on road use. They also have all terrain that is off-road focused, mud terrain, highway and all weather.
