    New F150 5.0 Break-in

    My 2018 5.0 sounds like that video. It was like that new and it's got 52k on it now. I've driven it hard since I pulled off the lot and that noise hasn't changed at all. Since this thread was about suggestions for your buddy I'll throw my procedure in the ring, right or wrong. 1kmi I...

    What are you listening to right now?

    I just discovered these ladies a few months ago. So amazing. Completely influenced by the old school thrash and metal that I so dearly love.

    19 F150 5.0 Amsoil OE 5w20 4,871 miles

    With prices an oil quality level being equal I would probably buy the M1 but that's just because I've used M1 more than Castrol over the years. I wouldn't worry about using either one. One thing I meant to ask. Does engine feel like it revs slower or feel down on power at all?

    19 F150 5.0 Amsoil OE 5w20 4,871 miles

    I have an '18 F150 5.0 and yeah, they are noisy as hell. Drives me nuts but I try to just ignore it. I've thought of going to 5/40 or 5/50 so im interested how it does and if the engine stays noticeably quieter or time.

    First in-person observation of Tourette's...

    Back in 1999 I was in England and flew to Maastrict in the Netherlands. It was a short flight on a small 30 passenger twin engine. We flew out in a thunderstorm and were in it pretty much all the way over. It was like being on a roller coaster and you never knew when the bottom was going to drop...

    Way over inflated tires!

    When I was still a full time tech I ranked nervousness about over inflated tires blowing right up there with the nervousness of having an old school coil spring in a set of spring clamps. I've seen a guy end up losing a hand when an over inflated tire blew and I was across the shop when a spring...

    Driving addiction, hard to cure

    I worked for a company and after about 8 years there they put the GPS junk in the delivery trucks. I was a technically a delivery guy but I knew how to run the location and do EVERYBODYS job, including both my bosses. I ignored the GPS. After 10 write ups in 3 months I told them to fire me or...

    First Conceal Carry Handgun?

    With all the stuff going on lately, and now that I've a wife, a kid, and a house, I finally decided to buy a pistol. Shot quite a few guns but just never bought one. Went to the range and shot my fathers and brother in laws guns. Decided on the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 2.0 9mm and it'll have an...
