you have my vote for Ranger most likely to survive the Apocalypse

I recently bought enough supplies for my next ~6 oil changes. I caught myself checking prices every day anticipating the inevitable increase, so decided to just lock it in and get it out of mind. Geo-political environment is a mess, and has been for years. And not trending in a positive...

We got the message. Good luck!

I just started a drain & fill sequence for my transmission similar to what you have done in the past to get my % of new, clean fluid up. I changed the filter and to a PPE pan back in January this year and put on roughly 8,000 since then. Been able to monitor my trans temp via my AeroForce gauge...

I’m interested as well as I’ve not been able to make a solid decision either way. Following—

I had a similar “come to Jesus” moment ~18 months ago on my 2019 when I hit the 70k mile mark. It has been paid off and there’s not a real need to upgrade to a new vehicle, especially with these prices/interest rates and so took a deep dive into improving reliability and driveability. I’ve done...

Don't leave it at that, I'm trying to learn! I am still trying to solve the mystery about how politicians can artificially lower gas prices right before an election. Maybe we can just add it to the mystery of Adam Smith's "The Invisible Hand" metaphor for supply and demand haha

Not arguing here, just checking my understanding because I thought the old "higher altitude means you can safely use lower octane" logic doesn't translate as cleanly to modern engines as it did to old carbureted naturally aspirated engines. Altitude lowers an engine's octane requirement...

Ordered the Calibrator/tunes from Livernois July 30th and next day the 31st my order status changed to "Completed." Never got any notice of tracking number or shipping confirmation but not wanting to bug their staff I just assumed it was sent my way. Waited a week and with my UPS account still...

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) says that no drawdown of the strategic reserve was made in 2016, though a drawdown did begin in 2017 when the Republican-majority Congress mandated sales from the reserve. So with that mechanism/tool off the table as a method to manipulate gas...

What mechanisms are available to the Executive Branch that a President can use to artificially lower gas prices? I’ve always anecdotally heard sayings such as this, but never heard the mechanics behind it.

Annual camping trip to City of Rocks National Reserve in Idaho just across the border from Utah. The Icon front+rear suspension made the journey so much smoother this time around

I kept struggling with turning my driver’s side cv axles into junk. I had a 2.5” level in the front (spacer on top of the strut, not my idea, was there when I bought it) but I had always heard that 3.5” is the magic number where you should begin to evaluate whether a diff drop is helpful. Since...

Recently took the truck in for inspection at the dealership and laughed when they attached a ~$1300 estimate to my visit to replace the rear driveshaft because of the grease spray they observed. I told them the Tom Woods was relatively new and asked them if the spray was at the same location as...

I’m bummed about OP’s experience with the hassle and cost involved, but super grateful it was shared with the forum as it prompted me to have a look at my own assembly and plan ahead to replace the hose regardless of what I found. I got an 18” piece of 3/8” fuel injector hose from AutoZone and...

This sounds like the leaf spring front eye has broken. I know because it happened to me last year and I know the sound you are describing. Blocks underneath the leaf spring only exacerbates the ovaling of the front eye. It’s difficult to see that it has been broken because oftentimes the...

Great looking Lariat, what symptoms prompted the transmission change?

What in the hell did I just read?! 😂

Yep! As much as I’d like to be a few miles down the road on the Idaho side and get rid of my state income tax, the Utah side just has much better infrastructure.

Visited the Bear Lake property today to clear off any invasive weeds. Hoping to start building my cabin in the next year or two
