  1. Why is Ford cutting the OEM wheel well liners.

    I'm another guy that will stay aftermarket with Ford, if only because someone that worked for Ford made the decisions. That may be stupid, but I have been accused of worse. One irritant when I bought my Ford liners for my 21 is that they folded them in the shipping box. It still shows. It...
  2. Key Fob Holders - Custom

    I was surprised with Etsy as well. Lots of stuff not available elsewhere.
  3. How screwed am I?

    You pays your money and takes your chances.
  4. Cold air intake - Roush / S&B / Other? Better/worse despite minor differences?

    Of course, the real boost is to integrate turbos and forced air. Now we are talking some real power. Some guy out there has done this.
  5. EREV Hybrid F-150 Lightning Announced!

    1. The chinese are already beating our butts on EV's. Tesla's market share is tanking. Rivian can't sell despite great technology. Absolutely no one else can make decent EV's at a decent price. Except the good old Chinese. 2. This concept seems much like it's too good to be true. Ford...
  6. How screwed am I?

    I was thinking about your grille guard comment. Those are common in Central Texas, which is where we see the majority of our deer and pigs. They work great with deer but are a little more problematic with pigs. One tends to go over pigs, as opposed to into the deer. The only concern you...
  7. EIWE questions

    Thanks every one for the help. It seems that running around in 4A is not a bad thing. Standard 2wd truck ride until things begin to happen. Then 4A kicks in.
  8. Adding weight to bed for ride quality

    Levitating manhole covers. The good old days.
  9. Adding weight to bed for ride quality

    Compared to 40 years ago, these are Cadillacs. However, the best riding truck I have is a 1961 Chevrolet Apache 10. Factory torsion bar suspension. Added a front sway bar. 350 tuned port. 700r4 with 3.10 gears. It is a freeway/interstate/highway cruiser. At 2700 rpm it has climbed on that...
  10. How screwed am I?

    That's a little hard to look at.
  11. Talked to dealer about a transmission fluid change with and without filter change

    Technology seems to create more problems than it solves. It has been an entertaining discussion. It's like me listening in spanish. I can hear it. It seems to make sense. But I can't understand it. FaaWrenchBdr has some points about pressurized flushes that are not addressed in the...
  12. EIWE questions

    Thank you for the explanation. It stirred up a question. I have a 21 F150 Lariat 4wd. It has a 4Auto position. I have never really figured out what that is for. I had a 2011 GMC Yukon Denali XL that had all wheel drive. I had no control over anything. It was full time AWD. Does it act...
  13. EIWE questions

    One reason why I am on these forums it to learn new things. This is cram packed with new things. I probably have one, so I can learn something. I have a 21 Lariat F150 4WD What is EIWE? What is a TOD Transfer case? I at least know Dorman well, but not what the kits are for. I thank both...
  14. Adding weight to bed for ride quality

    On my 2014 F150 I added a rear sway bar, upgraded the front sway bar, used the Bilsteins on all four corners. The ride was much more controlled. he sway bar addition in the rear and the upgrade in the front worked astonishingly well, but it still rode like a much more controlled 2014 truck...
  15. Adding weight to bed for ride quality

    Very interesting idea. Downside is I would need to get the wife to hold it while i bolted it in. She has no sense of humor.
