    Real world pickup fuel mileage?

    My Fords routinely get better mileage than anything from chevy that I drive at work. 2016 2.7 ecoboost gets 20mpg overall daily driving. (stock) 23mpg on the highway, 28 drafting a big rig. 2017 5.0 coyote gets 17.5 overall daily driving. This one has 2 inch level and 33's, 20mpg on the highway...

    Oil for 2.7 ecoboost

    I would think any euro oil would meet your requirements. As long as its 5w30 or 0w40 or 5w40 you should do well. I am still using 5,000 mile intervals on my 2016. I am at 150,000 now and it is running well. I have also used super tech and kirkland oil in this truck. I use it about the same as...

    Why 93 Octane in a GDI engine if it isn’t called for?

    This brings up a lot of questions. What is considered high compression now days? All these modern engines are using variable valve timing. So if you are 10:1 compression or higher and your engine control module can adjust for it, why not run 91/93 all the time? It will add timing and increase...

    IF you were to buy a 3/4 ton truck........

    Gas engine unless you tow 75% of the time, and that is still debatable. Ram has a slight edge in styling and quality but I still rank Ford higher overall. Chevy is still a good truck but if you go with 6.2 expect less than reported mileage. I think they all have their issues and you may get one...

    1967 Corvette 427 390 horsepower

    If it's already out of a vehicle, I would at the very least pull the valve covers and have a look. If it were me, I would pull the heads, use arp studs, and new head gaskets. I would look at all gaskets and replace anything suspected of leaking. But even if you don't, the big block will likely...

    Basic car stereo question

    Consider Crutchfield for something like this. You get to speak to folks who are nice and they will tell you how to wire up your speakers or new radio.

    Good low to no sugar mayonnaise recommendations

    Well, its not miracle whip but I think it has a good flavor. I use it as a base (sometimes) for an aioli that I whip up when I bake fish.

    Good low to no sugar mayonnaise recommendations

    Primal Kitchen Mayo is made without sugar. You can get it on-line or in-store in places like Target or Walmart. I get mine at Costco.

    Pumpkin bread. My favorite time of year when the beautiful bakers in my life start churning out these breads.

    Auto execs are coming clean evs arentworking.

    EV works for some people. I see it as a niche market and it obviously has some benefits. It shouldn't be mandatory, and I generally abhor subsidizing any industry. Let the market sort itself out, making an imaginary mandatory deadline to force a new technology is going to cause more problems...

    Oil filter change at 10k miles (every other change) ?

    I don't make a habit of it, but it is totally acceptable on a well maintained engine. I don't lose any sleep when I do it.

    Considering Pocket Carry

    Pocket carry is doable and safe with a few considerations. Whichever pocket you choose, NOTHING else goes in that pocket. Depending on the type of material of the pants or shorts, you will be limited by weight. It will conceal if your pants aren't skin tight. You have to practice, snags can...

    UTI's are bad. Could cranberry and d-mannose help?

    azo standard is a great OTC treatment and has been used at my house with success. If your wife has developed a resistance to antibiotic maybe try some colloidal silver as well.
