I’ve used both Motorcraft and NGK laser iridium plugs in Ford ecoboost engines(Explorer Sport and F150). No issues with either, the Motorcraft from the dealership were significantly cheaper than the NGK from O’Reilly when I bought mine.

85 Chevy C10. It was my best friend’s truck in high school. Keeping that thing on the road was a full time job for both of us 🤣

With inoperative electric power steering you’re also fighting the rack to steer it. They’re harder to steer than inoperative hydraulic power steering.

Different strokes for different folks. My 2010 Fusion runs everyday and every option still works. My 22 Pacifica the dash lights up with all kinds of warning indicators randomly and who knows what the infotainment system may do and when. It probably just a module or communication network issue...

Federal Couragia mud tires are also ridiculously loud.

Chrysler problems, not necessarily hybrid problems. That’s why I said no more CDJR products for me.

Professional mechanic here. On my second hybrid. Plug-in hybrids at that. I’d buy another Prius without thinking twice. I’d also buy a Ford hybrid as when I was still in the dealer system we just didn’t see many problems from Fusion, Escape and C max hybrids. I probably will not buy another...

I did too for about 15 years. Just look at this young fella before the world had beat him down and stole his hair 🤣

I quit caring about maintenance when I went to sell a truck I’d owned for about 7 years. I kept a log of all maintenance and repairs I’d done during that time. It wasn’t done by a dealership but I was a dealer tech at the time so real similar other than my cost. Not a single person that looked...

I’ve got no desire to experience Death Valley heat. I’ll stick to 90 and humid to hail to tornadoes all in the same day! Midwest for life 🤣

You’ve done a great thing helping her out. I’m sure you feel betrayed but coming up in the foster care system I’m sure this poor kids mental and emotional health is a train wreck. My BiL and SiL have 4 kids they adopted of of the system and it’s hard even on the ones that get out young. I agree...

I mean, no children would certainly make life more convenient. If that’s what you’re going for then it’s wiser. I don’t know your past some children were unfairly forced to be the adults in their household and maybe that was you at one point but I don’t feel like anyone is stronger than the...

I thought these were actually a WalMart exclusive but I got them from my local tire shop. 215/55r17 65k rated and made in the USA for $98/each mounted and balanced. They don’t look like they’d do as good in winter as say the RT45 or Uniroyal Tiger Paw A/S but with the price difference and last...

You guys are crazy. Bigfoot is real. They have an open house in June every year 🤣 I’ve made it the last two since it’s only about 80 miles northeast of me.

Gen 2 Coyote was still MPI. DI came along with the Gen 3 that also had oil consumption issues and the often problematic 10 speed in 18. Just another option for you. I know if I found a rust free 12th gen with a 6.2 I’d definitely be interested in that they’re just getting hard to find rust free...

The 00-03 were seriously great. I didn’t realize how good they were until I realized one day that all the trucks I was doing fuel tank strap recalls on had 350k miles on them already BUT they’re 20+ years old now. 6.2 is great. Thats not a bad option at all. Have you considered a 16-17 with a...

I feel you! I think that’s how it’s gonna be for me somedays BUT Just keep in mind what Chael Sonnen said at his UFC HoF induction. “Dreams come true. Hard work pays off. Bad times don’t last but bad guys do!” Also anyone who’s a pro wrestling fan may recognize who he stole part of this line from.

Play softball. I played 4 nights a week with tournaments on weekends….then I started having kids.

I can’t, it’s too cool!

I was young once and resealed a riding mower engine on a patio table while wearing just shorts and flip flops. Also the body of the mower was lifted up using a tree branch and a come along. I’m pretty sure that was an automatic 30% reduction in value if any realtors drove by 🤣
