My 2019 Lariat has a big red warning that pops up in the left screen in the gauge cluster along with an audible warning sound. It doesn't have the red lights atop the dashboard.

I'm glad you and the horse made it. I had a 1993 Nissan pickup. I was going 30 mph on a damp asphalt road one night. I applied the brakes to make a left turn. Next thing I know I'm facing the opposite direction. lol The back end slid around and I did a perfect 180 degree spin. Stayed on...

Good job on avoiding an accident. I had a similar event a few years ago in my Lariat Ranger. The AEB really saved my butt from a wreck. I was just 200 miles into a 1,200 mile drive home at the time. I ended up coming to a stop with just inches to spare between a Buick on the left and the...

I wouldn't offer to tow someone out either due to the liability. There's a YouTube channel of a guy who owns a tow/wrecker company. He's in Washington State and rescues a lot of people on the beach using his modded Ford super duty and kinetic energy ropes. He knows what he is doing and is...

Hellwig rear sway bar. I like it, it made a nice improvement to the handling. But once I did the eibach rear shocks, I realized I should have installed them first. The Hellwig hangs down below the axle more than I like.

Yep, got to be careful. Happened to me also with my Dodge Dakota twelve years ago in a store parking lot. My door put a half dollar sized dent and a nice scratch in the car next to mine. I waited twenty minutes for the owner to come out. I apologized and showed him the dent. He literally...

A lot of newer direct injection engines have just that. Even the ECOBOOST V6's now come with secondary injectors in the intake manifold to keep the valves clean. One thing I read a while back about induction cleaning is that it can be bad when used on Turbo engines. Basically, do it on a...

Earlier this year, I started mixing my own windshield washer fluid. Like mentioned before, you put methanol in it to keep it from freezing. I start with distilled water and order everything from Amazon... The methanol...

Try a McDonald's burger, it'll last forever!

I need to make a correction. I was referring to Griffith Ford in San Marcos. I got them and Maxwell Ford mixed up. I have never actually been to Maxwell Ford.

I'm glad to see the recommendation for Truck City Ford. They sound like better dealer than others around here. I may have to check them out for servicing my Ranger. I bought my truck at Bluebonnet Ford in New Braunfels. I don't recommend them. My truck had been the service loaner, and had...

Thanks for the clarification, I stand corrected.

I'd say that that would be guaranteed! lol

I admit I did all the time before it became a felony. I'd just stoplight race up to the speed limit or a hair over. Then the stupid Fast and Furious movies came out and all the sudden people were doing some really dumb stuff behind the wheel. The crashes and deaths were even more spectacular...

That sucks about the Tacoma. I knew that could happen with the Fumoto. I looked into them a long time ago when I had a Dodge Dakota. Just seemed kinda risky. There are also ones like this one that don't look as vulnerable... Stahlbus Oil Drain Valve Plug

I did a thing today. LOL it actually works perfect at keeping the truck in 2wd when reaching into the cubby.

I'm getting my Eibach rear shocks installed this morning. I'm a wallet mechanic these days. Like the other person, I also have the Hellwig rear anti-sway bar. I got my Eibachs at Stage 3 motorsports. They are the same price as Tirerack...

What is everyone's opinion on liquid electrical tape? Like this stuff right here... https://www.lowes.com/pd/Gardner-Bender-1-in-x-1-ft-General-Duty-Electrical-Tape/3385480

I've been running one for a few months now. I haven't gone in to see if mine will do transmission temps yet. I mounted it to the steering column with the supplied velcro. A little trick I learned a while back.... Use WD40 to clean the plastic before applying anything sticky to it. WD40 is a...

Same thing here in Texas, usually they are going home to Mexico for Christmas and pile everything and anything into the vehicle for the trip home. Something I see a lot are the cars being towed to Mexico. Usually towing two cars at at time in a convoy of two or three.
