I have a quarter mile long rural driveway, so I get in and go in my Coyote. It's done high-idling by the time I coast down to the road. My other vehicle is a BMW 335D (3.0L twin turbo diesel). It gets treated differently. No hammering on it until up to full operating temperature. Gotta be kind...

Keep an eye on this recall. Could be a shot in the dark: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65380916/ford-fuel-pump-failure-recall/

Holy smokes! Ebaumsworld. That takes me back to about 2003.

I don't say this lightly. Meh.

The only temperature flex I can add is that I was stationed at MCAS Yuma in 1995 when they set their all-time record of 124F. I got Schweddy balls that day.

Coming up on 18,000 miles after 11.5 months of ownership and not a single problem. I still got the 7 year/150K just in case!

As a CDL-holder, generally, the answer to avoiding idiots on the road is to slow down, rather than do 120 mph. Don't fall into their trap. Avoid them. You'll never win the rat race. They'll just keep bringing fresh rats off the bench.

Take this from a guy who used to commute 40,000 miles a year in a Golf TDI diesel before I became a remote work-at-home employee. It's all about how you drive, what tire pressure you run, and what mods you've done. Best mpg will be accomplished with steady state (i.e. max highway) driving at...

Mine fully warmed up at low idle. Sticking an iPhone right on top of the engine for a video is like zooming in on your teenager's zitty face for a portrait. These engines aren't quiet, but this is totally normal:

On the bright side, if he's still in the market for a 2024 Tacoma, Toyota dealers are stacked with them. They're selling like cold cakes.

The 5.0 badge I put on the back of mine is OEM for the Mustang. Granted, it doesn't come from the factory that way, so it's not OEM placement of course.

I just slapped one on the back where it seemed to logically belong (in my brain anyway).

True that. The "Parts Content Information" sticker on the window of my Dearborn-built F-150 states, "US/Canadian Parts Content: 32%." So at least two-thirds of the parts are foreign.

Not a single issue with mine through 7 months and 12,269 miles.

Rotors can develop surface rust overnight, especially in more humid environments. You're just hearing that layer wear off the first couple of times you hit the brakes after the truck has sat. No biggie.

My '24 FX4 w/ 18's came with General Grabber APT's. They've been fine so far through 11K miles.

I'm neither a chemical nor mechanical engineer, so I just pick one that meets the spec in the owners manual. That makes it easy. I chose Valvoline Extended Protection 5w30, because it meets the spec and is readily available at the nearby Walmart for under $30 a jug. The geeks over at BITOG...

Wow. Talk about making assumptions! LOL Try to be less angry at the world. You'll sleep better.

The Dudes for Harris finally discovered this thread and it got good. Making my popcorn now.
