Funny I read this today... I got to work Monday and either my phone or my tablet would not connect to our WiFi at work. I didn't think much of it since the network is commonly down, it's very slow and limits content. I went to notify my boss I was taking lunch and saw him perusing his inbox. I...

After Huricane Katrina, every spring I fill every empty fuel container I own with non-ethanol fuel and mark the container with the date of purchase. Normally by July I'll have 60-80 gallons on hand stored in three different sheds on my property. I'll use the oldest fuel first, in lawn equipment...

Several years ago I ordered a power wheels jeep off Amazon for my kids Christmas present. When it finally arrived it was damaged. I called Amazon and they emailed me disposal recommendations and refunded my money. They wouldn't accept it as a return due to the lead acid battery. After I examined...

I would run it for 5k miles and change it to whatever you like. When I bought my F250 it came with a complementary 1st first oil change. I usually do my own oil changes but13qts and Motorcraft filter hard to pass up for free. First they didn't want to do it since the oil life monitor still...

I replaced the fuel filters on my F250 a few weeks ago like I've done several times since buying the truck. The fuel line for the filter under the hood had a 1/8" molded hose barb going into it for a return line from the injectors. Needless to say I managed to snap the barb off while trying to...

My neighbor ran a new Briggs and Stratton (7500watt??) storm responder generator with no oil and it kicked a rod out of the crankcase. He called around a replacement engine was 3/4 of the price he paid for the generator new. He gave it to me and I disassembled it. I found a local mower shop that...

Stay away from amcrest. My wife bought me a 960h from them and three of the 4 cameras malfunctioned within a week. One is stuck on IR mode so the image is always displays black and white. Another won't go into IR mode so it doesn't see in the dark. The third never worked out of the box but I...

A few years ago, there was an ambush on some LEO,s here. I knew a son the son of one of the fallen. Fast forward a few months and I was having dinner at a local diner out with my wife and kids and two uniformed deputies sat near us. I quietly went to pay our tab and picked up theirs also. The...

I think that would be E85 compatible https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/bymodel/2013_Ford_Expedition.shtml

When I worked in autoglass I was vacuming up a shattered rear door glass on a vehicle burglary at some apartments near a large collage campus. I put the hose under the drivers seat and something got sucked up and lodged in the hose. Not an uncommon occurrence, I would usually just move the end...

I have the Nankang NS-25s (235-55-17)on my caravan. The SP-9 were also a consideration in my size. They're louder than the Cooper cs5s that were on it before but theyre also about .75 inch wider and a "ultra high performance" instead of the cooper touring tire. I was on the fence about the...

In 2016 our department bought 9 new f150s for our fleet at work. They were all short bed single cab 2.7 ecoboosts. One was totaled at 2700 miles. 5 have been flawless, one even averaging 24 mpg. One unit has had issues with blue smoke at start up after a 48+ hour rest. It's been to the dealer...

In the early 2000's I stumbled on a low mileage 95/96 Ford F350 Centurion conversion for sale. For those unaware, they were basically a crew cab F series with a bronco grafted to the back. The one I'd found had the 460ci 7.5 liter, 4x4 with 4.11 gears. The inside came complete with rope...

My dad volunteered to drive the church bus when I was a kid. He would run a route before services picking up elderly parishioners and a few kids whose parents would send them but had better things to do. One Sunday the bus wouldn't start. They opened the hood to find someone had stolen the...

There are new 2019 Dodge errr.... Ram 1500 ext cabs advertised around here for $22-$24k. The ones I've seen are 2wd v6 but often have the chrome bumpers and the vinyl floor. The single cabs were around $20k
