It doesn't do it all the time, but...

    Ford cuts prices of F-150 Lightening by 7-16%.

    The title says it all. They claim to have increased production and can lower the cost as a result. One would hope that increases sales. I feel bad for those who bought them before the cut, ouch.

    2008 Liberty odometer reads ERROR instead of miles.

    I changed my water pump yesterday, uneventful for the most part until I started the engine and saw the odometer reading ERROR. I checked the fuses, they're good. I had to remove the battery to get access to remove the fan, it appears this can happen when removing a battery. I did some searching...

    Looking for an M5OD Jam Nut.

    Any idea where I can get an M5od Jam Nut? Mine is shot. I'd rather not spend $100 for a shifter out of a wreck with a jam nut worse than mine. I found the part number F65Z-7L-197-AA but I can't find someone who has one. My junkyard buddy is closed until 8/22, no one else around here has them.

    Clutch job interesting find..

    Today my brother and I started doing a clutch job in my 88 E-150. The clutch was 27 years old and had about 80K miles on it. The slave cylinder was leaking, very slowly, that's what failed 27 years ago. It would occasionally chatter, and I want to use it to move us from NY to Florida in the near...

    Tire pressure?

    I'm make a road trip to Florida Friday with a fully loaded [weight wise] 98 RAM 1500. We're bringing a small lathe, tools, 60 gallon compressor etc. The tire placard says 41 psi, the tire says 80 psi. What pressure do you tire experts suggest?

    Win 10/11 Annoyance.

    While I'm waiting for a power supply to come for my Linux Mint PC I've been using my Win 11 PC. I'm not a fan of Windows or MSFT but that's another story. This PC has an SSD with the OS and programs on it and two HDDs with pictures, music, data, etc. I'm not about to replace them with SSD...

Anyhow they call him, not once but three times to inform him he needs some GDI injector/intake cleaning...
