    Future Ford vehicles will repossess themselves

    FoMoCo Repo: Ford Patents System for Self-Repossessing Vehicles I’ll leave my personal thoughts out for now, but this is ridiculous.

    B-17 and P-63 collide at Dallas airshow

    Looks like the P-63 splits the B-17 in half before they drop to the ground.

    2024 GMC Sierra Denali EV

    I have my reservations about electric and still feel the only way I’d buy one is if it had an onboard generator (like the supposed RAM REPB), but this truck looks f’in nice. I like the exterior, and love the interior. The cost is absurd though, and I’m not sure how the average American could...

    Best Electric Tools

    @Eighty gave me the idea from one of his posts to start a discussion (debate?) on the best electric tools. I started with Snap-on electric tools in the early 2000s, and switched to Dewalt around 2014. Dewalt used to be fantastic. They had a service center 30mins away from me that had a trade-in...

    Help finding oil cartridge 060521154

    We all know about the oil filter shortages recently. Because of that, I started using ecoguard filters. They are built just like OEM housings and cartridges, which I confirmed by disassembling and checking with a micrometer. These and OEM filters could actually be reused if the cartridge were...

    Blackstone Labs how to change oil

    Were you expecting me to ask how to change oil? If so- gotcha! If not, here's a pretty funny "how to change oil" from Blackstone. It might just be because I'm a bit inebriated, but I found it hilarious because I've done most of that list at various points in my life. Blackstone Labs Oil Changes 101

    2023 Raptor R

    There’s been a quick rundown of the Raptor R on SVTperformance. It looks incredible. Not gonna lie, I want one; however, that ~$107k starting price makes my wallet cry. Preorders opened on July 18th. 2023 Raptor R- SVTperformance

    How to Search

    This is going to be short and sweet. It is common knowledge that search functions baked into most forums don’t work well. I won’t get into the why’s of that at this point, but it’s unavoidable without making a custom search function. The value is not worth the effort when google has invested...

    Need help with human psychology

    I don’t know if it’s just because people are really getting on my nerves today l, but I do not understand what goes through peoples’ minds. What kind of sense does it make to sit and idle for a half hour or more (in this case) to save $.36 a gallon on gas? For some quick math, there were 31...

    DASM cover removal

    Does anybody have instructions for how to remove the DASM cover? I have window tint on my windshield and the edges are underneath the DASM cover, so I don’t want to make a mistake. I can’t find any instructions on the DASM in mitchell1, so I’m flying blind right now.

    Audi remind you that you are cheap

    So this is what it’s coming to. I expect ram will be worse and the message will say “this is what you get for being a cheapa** .” https://www.thedrive.com/news/44967/audi-owner-finds-basic-hvac-function-paywalled-after-pressing-the-button-for-it

    Universal fuel engine?

    I think it would be cool if this became a reality, but if the EV push causes fuel to rise to astronomical prices, it may not matter anyway. Waste oil could be an option, but if fuel prices rise that high, people will start charging a lot for waste oil and there won’t be any benefit to that...

    Lazy man’s engine block heater cord extender

    I was getting tired of opening my hood to connect my extension cord to the engine block heater. I didn’t want to wait for a Kats 5 foot extension, so I made my own from stuff laying around I bought from Home Depot in the past. The wire rating on the extension I made is well over the...

    Scientists train fish to drive vehicle

    So, I came across this gem of an article today. Forget world hunger or the climate crisis, let’s figure out how to make a fish drive a car. Wow, just wow. You’ll never get this time back if you read this article, so you’re welcome in advance… Scientists train goldfish to drive a fish-operated...

    Snow in the South

    Since Maryland is the South, it’s weird to have almost 70° weather one day, and 13 inches of snow the next. Here’s a couple shots.

    ANC removed for 2022 Alpine system?

    I just put a sub and amp in my 2022 Laramie with the nine speaker alpine system. I noticed that I only have two microphones in the headliner, but according to every wiring diagram I can find on the Alpine system, I should have ANC. Does anybody know if the microphone locations moved for 2022...

    OBD Fusion app for egt, regen, and boost

    After extensive searching for the Torque pro app and seeing that it gets 2.8 stars in the Apple play store, I started searching for alternatives. Has anyone had success with OBD Fusion on monitoring PID’s like EGT, DPF-related stuff, boost, etc? A little background: I have a BlueDriver already...

    Should the Carolina Squat be called the Idaho Squat?

    The “Carolina Squat” is officially illegal in North Carolina. I vote for it to be called the Idaho Squat from now on. https://www.npr.org/2021/12/03/1061200749/carolina-squat-squatted-trucks-suvs-illegal-north-carolina

    Tire size calibration question

    Later today or tomorrow I’m going to use the taser dt to calibrate my tire size. For all you guys who have already done this with any calibration tool, are you measuring all four tires with the truck sitting on the ground and averaging that, or are you just measuring the front tires and using...

    Eibach Pro-Truck Stage 1 Install

    I decided on using Eibach's Pro-Truck Stage 1 over the Stage 2 (with threaded coilovers) because the head tech rep at Eibach claimed the Stage 2 is rougher on the road. I ordered directly from Eibach, and got the kit in about a week. If anyone is doing this install on a 4x4, the correct part...
