Yep, the 7th largest tire manufacturer in the World needs to change its brand to appease Americans who think the brand sounds funny. I'm going to ask Michelin to change its brand too - its too French.

The short answer is if it was infested with Emerald Ash Borer, transporting it can easily spread Emerald Ash Borer to new areas. If left to just the insect to spread, it would move short distances in a year. Human transport changes that. Options here are to: Burn it, bury it, or chip it up...

2 orders with them in the last two weeks. Both arrived a day earlier than promised. Both exactly what was ordered, new, and undamaged Motorcraft parts. One was 1/2 the price of what the dealer wanted, and the other was 1/3rd the price of the dealer. Used to have a decent option with...

Correct - it did not start with backup cameras. Which scenario presents more opportunity for conflict? Backing into an unoccupied space or backing out into a lane with cross traffic? With over 1000 fleet units, the trends are statically valid as to what has happened since our policies were...

My employer specifically trains us to back into parking spots where it makes sense (angled parking is not one of those scenarios). Our parking lot is about 2/3rds pull throughs and back ins - you can tell who the field staff vs office staff are... Interestingly, one of our major categories of...

Yellow is fully compatible with the previous Ford Orange that is now obsolete from Ford. Have an F150 that is running just fine with a dump and fill with the new yellow on top of the old orange... From Ford themselves... https://www.fcsdchemicalsandlubricants.com/quickref/coolantsEN.pdf

2021 Explorer with the 2.3. We've got 58k miles on it now. The engine has plenty of oomph and mated to the 10 speed it pretty much always has the "right" gear. We are averaging over 22.5 mpg in our driving. Not bad for a three row SUV. (For comparison, this explorer replaced an '07 Explorer...

Oh yeah - the 3.5 Ecoboost got the 10 speed in 2017. Forgot about that one... Regardless, the transmissions in the article are the 6 speeds... (with their own issues... the one in my 16 F150 has been great. The one in my former '07 Explorer with the V8, meh...)

Recognize that the transmission in your 2020 is not the one being discussed in the article - 2015-17 all had the 6R80 6 speed that had been in the F150 for many years prior...

Likely the Roku. See above -restart it.

Remarkable that such a major story breaks with the second hand word from one dealership GM and then on good old bobistheoilguy. Stop for a second... think about it. The internet sure is full of speculation. The majority of it is pure poppycock...

I believe I'm at 17 oil changes since new... 130k miles on the clock.

I've got a 14 quart or so, and the openings in it are just enough I can let her rip, and it won't overflow. The air vent is likely the real culprit on the speed though. One with a larger opening would be nice - I had one once upon a time! The ford plug has an O-ring on it it - I look at mine...

Get a bigger drain pan. Problem solved. I have the plastic plug (and pan) on my 2016 F150 with the 2.7. 130,000 miles with the original plug. No leaks (and no pan leaks either). Love not messing around with a wrench or socket wrench to get the plug off. One hand, easy peasy. Folks who...

Last I checked, 62 is still more than 55... Good luck with your rationalizations.

So you were speeding regardless. Don't want a ticket, follow the speed limit. Simple stuff. Otherwise don't complain when you get caught or the method that caught you... And before anyone says it, yes, I do drive over the speed limit in some circumstances, but if i was caught I wouldn't...

The rental F150 I'm driving at the moment is 45% USA made content. (2025 F150 Powerboost). The engine as an example is manufactured in Mexico.

EIA stats show that Canadian Crude imports are actually at or ahead on a weekly basis compared to 5 year averages. Not granular enough for one specific tank farm, but certainly shows that there has not been a reduction in the volume of Canadian crude coming this direction. Speculation at the...

The idea that there is not sour crude available to midwest since one pipeline opened up that sour crude to other markets is not how the markets are playing out. There are issues for the gulf coast since they historically look to Mexico and Venezuela for that type of crude oil. Refiners in the...

Because nobody ever broke into cars... until now. Giant sarcasm alert... Sorry to the OP. Never fun.
