You just gave me something to ask about. I'm planning to get some spray in liner, I just had my truck detailed and part of the job was removing those sorts of crap stickers. I don't want another. Thanks!
The shop is changing from G-teq to another brand, but compatible including maintenance products.
Easiest way to (as I understand it) to kill a ceramic job is to use the soaps at any commercial carwash (self wash or drive through). The high pH of commercial soaps strips it off.
Need to wash at...
Ceramic coating, front side windows tinted to match rear sides, and rear window darkened a bit. Interior also detailed.
Main reason for ceramic is the aphids here in the east Tennessee mountains. They drop "honeydew" which is sticky and turns black. Difficult to wash off of vehicles. Hoping...
I'll second this. Been a long while since I had a diesel. Hard for me to judge what would be normal today.
In general, city driving will increase regenerations, highway driving allows a great deal of passive regeneration.
Frequent regeneration may also put more fuel in the oil, so do more...
Agree in general. Ford did a pretty good job with the turbo 4 cylinder in the Ranger. Recent 3,000 miles towing a 6,500 pound travel trailer (near the limits for that truck) and it did fine. For a trailer twice that weight, the Ranger and its engine are simply outclassed and would be grossly...
5.7 in my Rebel with the A8 and 3.90 axles spins the tires if I'm not careful with the gas pedal. Gearing makes a big difference in low-end torque.
Sure, not as torquey as my M6 6.4 Challenger with the same gearing and shorter tires, but I still get 18 mpg overall in the rebel.
My experience is worn shocks and struts result in a softer, not harsher ride. Also possible bouncing too long after a bump and wandering in the lane (not holding directional stability).
Tires getting past a certain wear point do cause a harsher ride, the outer rubber is softer; once this wears...
Not a bad idea. I am planning Linex in the future, currently have a fitted plastic liner.
In the past for every truck I have had with an 8' box, I have bought whatever the cheapest sheet of plywood the hardware store had. Today, that price is getting up there. This mat seems like a classier...
Maybe qualifies more as a "with" than a "to."
Dropped it off for ceramic coating and interior detail, plus tint the rear window darker and tint the front side windows to match the rear side windows. Pics next week.
The ceramic is due to aphid crap getting on the truck, it is hard to wash off...
Even better in google is to use the site: directive. Also for any words you are certain are in the post, put them in quotes. From what I read above, I might try:
"12" "usb" "rear" "panel" site:5thgenrams.com
Example...
Seems if cruise control runs off GPS, it is more ticket reistenat than the speedometer running off tire rotation. Agree they really should match, but shouldn't setting cruise to the speed limit be at least a defense in court? I know going to court is also a pain, but citizens should fight...
It gets worse when going YY over, and then add ticket risk to even worse mileage for ZZ over.
I did find my highway mileage takes a serious dip around 70 and above. Takes a bit of energy to push a large brick that fast.
'22 Rebel (5.7 eTorque, 4WD, 3.90 axles). Few stop lights or signs, most roads 35 to 55 mph.
Winter 87 octane, 17.5 mpg.
Summer 87 octane, 18.5 mpg.
Summer 89 octane, 18.9 mpg.
I'll try winter 89 when that season returns, summer 89 is not worth the extra cost.
It took me some days to figure out my truck had this "feature." For me, I back out of my driveway and often a bit into the weeds across the street. The timing was such that at the exact moment I would start braking, the truck would do a really hard stop. Like a broken power booster diaphragm, no...
