I wonder if keeping the auto start/stop off will help to prolong the MGU's life?

I would seriously give this a try. Have them watch the video.

It is strictly for fuel economy. I run 38/32 like a normal truck. The ride and handling, not to mention rain and snow traction, are much better in this range.

This guy had e a similar problem with an intake manifold leak. Instead of smoke try spraying carb cleaner around the intake manifold looking for RPM changes. Another culprit could be a worn, dirty or malfunctioning throttle body.

It is a Champion 100536 Snowblower. I bought it in 2021. It has run well, but the drive mechanism started randomly disengaging and eventually pretty much failed. By the drive mechanism I mean the two self-propelled wheels. IT IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT PROBLEM. The drive disk is good...

1) Google AI has gotten really good! 2) Thick white coolant smoke cannot be a result of the oil cooler, the only thing the oil cooler can do is leak coolant onto the ground or directly into the oil. 3) Thick white coolant smoke in the exhaust would be a head gasket or similar problem that lets...

No, I do not think so. Cleaning/Replacing the throttle body has been reported to help, at least temporarily.

This is a known issue. There is no known fix. Trans fluid won't make any difference. You don't have to shift to Park, shifting to Neutral and then back to Drive will work.

Lighting up like a Christmas tree is potentially the CAN-C Star connector failure. There are a bunch of threads on this. Search on "star connector" and/or "Bus Issue".

Freedom Worx has some good videos, quite interesting. I also enjoyed the CAI vid. He makes clear that there are two types of engine wear, bearing wear and ring/cylinder wear. As he states, I've never had a bearing problem on any new car that I've bought, and he's right, I could probably go...

It is entirely normal. Do not listen to the "leakers". I have two Fords and a RAM, they all do it. It must be evaporating out of the overflow container. Just leave it at the MIN level. After a year or two when it gets lower than that add a pint. Keeping it at MAX just wastes antifreeze.

Get used to it, they ALL do it. I used to add an extra bottle or two of friction modifier (the stuff smells really bad) in my old F150 but even then, when it got cold, it shuddered. Eventually, after a 100,000 miles or so, the clutches will start to wear out and it will ease somewhat, but you...
