    I was absolutely, positively 100% sure you would use him as you reference. He makes money from his videos and you viewing them. Also you must believe every product sold works or is needed. How about cold air intakes, they let dirt into your engine do nothing but make noise when installed alone...

    I believe you have a problem. I have a 2015 2,7 that has not used one drop of oil in 25k miles. Some 2016 2.7 with a certain build dates have a big problem and oil consumption is the first indicator. http://www.f150ecoboost.net/forum/31-f15...rough-idle.html...

    I have not had a license plate on most of my vehicles for more than 20 years, always lived in Texas. Not one time have I been harassed or even had it mentioned to me if I got pulled over for speeding. I got a ticket going over the ship channel bridge on Beltway eight about six months ago and he...

    I had a 2007 tundra bought new. Air Injection Pump System was the solution at that time for cold start emissions. FAIL http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/toyota-warranties-air-injection-pump/ The current 2.7 has not had, (as far as I can tell with my research) any lspi issues and is...

    I am doing approximately 5k OCI. I am too ocd not to and changing the oil on this truck is so easy with ramps, a 5 gallon bucket and the filter on top. I was running 5w30 PUP with the motorcraft filter. I did not like the dilution/shearing with it so I switched last OC to Valvoline 5w30 HM Max...

    I am very well aware of this. It is rated A5/B5 for gasoline. That is what I have. the thread was not talking about diesel oil and it is not in the diesel oil section. Twist is as you like. The Valvoline does not shear/dilute out of grade in my engine like the PUP does at 5k miles. I...
