    2026 model year changes?

    I believe CAFE MPG regulations may be going away too? Would be nice to at least get small trucks and cars back out of this ... The original round of CAFE stuff kinda backfired and lead everyone into a big SUV or pickup I think it's been made pretty clear that there won't be a move back to that...

    Lets talk about new vehicles

    I found out I'm Italian later in life, but I always thought Stromboli was a dessert. I grew up in the 5th most Italian municipality in the state.

    Need recommendations for clamshell bearing puller

    I've had the Vevor one in my cart on Amazon for a while now. It seems that it's the same one as the more expensive yukon one.

    Oil Priming an engine before first run

    Older engines with distributor driven oil pumps are nice like that. Chop off a screwdriver and put in a drill and run the oil pump for a bit. Well, until your distributor gear strips and it stops driving the oil pump ...

    Newer Dodge "Ram" trucks with Rust?

    I assume that's the reason that Ford went aluminum. 2016 was the last year of the steel body superduty and I can remember back in 2018/2019 there were 2011-16 trucks with rusted cab corners and wheel wells ... Same with the 10th-11th-12th gen trucks. Rust problems.

    Newer Dodge "Ram" trucks with Rust?

    The warm weather does lead to a lot of salt spray. Could be. I'm in the Syracuse area but similar climate. Maybe these were leases that got abused ? That era GM truck seems to rust bad too 😐

    Newer Dodge "Ram" trucks with Rust?

    No diesels for me! At least no modern ones. If I could get a mechanical diesel! Titans are nice but they just don't seem to exist - new or used. I know Nissan killed them off a year or so ago, but there's just none near here for sale. I have a friend who does fluid film but he's thinking of...

    Newer Dodge "Ram" trucks with Rust?

    Got mad at the Mercury and decided to do some truck shopping. I was looking at the Dodge 1500 "Classic" trucks. There's a bunch off lease. Basically 4th gen Dodge Ram made after the 5th gen came out in 2019. No DI, good ZF transmission ... no oil pump belts like Ford has on the 2.7 and 5.0...

    Mevotech TTX control arms.

    TTX was recommended to me by a few people as better aftermarket parts.

    Oil Priming an engine before first run

    I'd probably pull the spark plugs and just crank on it until the oil pressure light goes out. That way compression isn't causing any load on dry bearings? That's what I did on my 5.4L when I did a head gasket and my 4.6L when I did the timing chains and tensioners.

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    Ordered a new pump from Rock Auto. Will be putting this in my OEM housing. No Bosch but Denso and this seems to be made in Japan from what reviews are saying. Also - we determined this to be a lie (Rockauto's note on replacing the whole thing)

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    I was able to get a bosch for my truck, but I can't find bosh sending unit/pump or just a pump for my housing for this car. The connector on top of the tank and the pump assy itself I was able to get out without dropping the tank. Only issue I had was the connector for the purge solenoid that...

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    Unfortunately it had to be modified for me to avoid dropping the tank. It would only affect evap and not the pump/ sending unit, but no warranty. The tow truck driver asked me what brand fuel pump because he recently put a Delphi in his f150 and it lasted 3 days. I went used truck shopping...

    Delphi Fuel Pump Assembly Failed Sending Unit

    Welp. 95 degrees out and it died on the highway in a construction zone with no shoulder. Barely got it onto an off ramp. The whole fuel pump died now

    Purchased a Fire 10 tablet for $70 on Prime Days

    I have one I bought in 2022 for $50. It's the ad supported one yet I've never seen an ad on it? It's definitely not as nice of a screen as an apple pad or higher end android tablet, but just for watching youtube on the couch or browsing the web it works just fine.
