Interesting comment on Amsoil and 5,000 miles changes.
I have a couple of million miles, probably more, accumulated running the top grade Amsoil, which is Signature at the moment. I change oil at 10,000 mile intervals and Amsoil filters at 5,000 mile intervals.
Most of my applications went...
I don't know how turbos are lubed, but if they use engine oil then the set up might make sense. I was going to install one on one of my early Suburbans but never got around to it. It went 320,000 carbureted miles anyway, using no oil between 10,000 mile oil changes and 5,000 mile Amsoil filter...

I suspect I will need to spend a substantial amount of time trying to figure out how to use it. Do you have a favorite? What does PTS and FDRS stand for? I assume both are independent from the Ford website?
You know, I like the hybrid concept. I hate the full electric. I would park neither in my garage given the lithium-ion problem. Too many battery cells means too many opportunities to short and burn.
A viable electric battery would use something besides lithium-ion. Something safer. There...
Thank you for the explanation. That was very helpful. I was thinking we were still in the 20's for number of computers.
For some reason I was thinking Ford was programming all their software to work together. Kind of like Windows. I expected a natural flow. All warm and fuzzy and happy...
I hate to be stupid here, but I've been that way my entire life. I bought an owners manual and have been poking around trying to find update information. I did push a screen button to check for updates. It came back to me that I am updated.
How do I know I am updated and what updates I have...
He did his review in such a way that it made me think about the high end trucks in a much different manner.
What I 'heard' is that a high end truck has a single life as a luxury vehicle, then becomes a work truck. A low end truck has a single, but much longer life as a truck. Well that makes...
Yours truly here has driven a 6.2 2011 Yukon Denali from new (2011) to Sept 2024. 203,000 miles. Recommended premium. 405 hp. Seldom ran premium, but when I did it really woke up. Used no oil. V4/V8 worked great despite it being a stupid idea.
Replaced it with 2023 Yukon Denali. 420 hp...
My truck has 24 locking lugs. You are 100% correct in your assessment. No question they will eventually come off, key or no key. But at least they will have earned it.
Battery Tender. Schumacher or Daltran Battery Tender Plus. 1.25 to 2 amps should suffice. I have problems on all my cars (5) if I am not regularly driving them. Everything I read about Ford battery problems is likely the result of undercharging. I charge every two to three weeks or so if I...
Hopefully your luck is better than mine on factory upgrades. Everytime I attempt one I get in the middle of it and the instructions turn to Swahili, and I am stuck. I can get on YouTube and find them in Navajo, but I am no better than the Germans were in figuring that out.
So now I am down...
Thank you very much for your education. That makes total sense. In my case, catch cans probably don't money out because of low annual miles and the fact that I need to check it at every service. I will most likely die before my truck does.
On the lighter side, how many walnuts do I need to...
