    Ford eco boost

    Don't worry Ram owners (I sold my last one happily after MULTIPLE issues dealer couldn't/wouldn't fix) you are not immune to quality issues...

    Ford eco boost

    My area in Texas has seen what you say. The Ford dealer in the small town will probably close it doors forever soon.

    Ford eco boost

    It's like Ford Mo Co suddenly forgot how to build 4-stroke engines all of a sudden...https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/ford-recalls-90k-2-7l-3-0l-ecoboost-powered-models-over-potential-engine-failures/ And now transmissions! Isn't this about EVERY SINGLE 24 model made...

    Ford eco boost

    ECO-Boost is probably Ford's WORST engines in their entire history. Anyone that got over 100k miles on one is exceptionally lucky or blew a small fortune into keeping it going. More than just my opinion though...there are literally thousands of videos on utube alone on this issue. Here's a...

    Tractor Insurance: am I being ripped off

    AS time goes on I see Insurance companies in general trending more and more being a "screw you" give us your money (by law or agreement in most cases) and we decide how we will screw you and "what are you going to do about it" entity. You pay them and they decide how they will NOT help you. Sad...

    Side by Side or 4x4

    Yep these are great but I refuse to pay current prices for new ones (and I don't do used on this type of equipment unless I know the owner personally very well). My 2003 Toyota Tundra 4X4 will do more work than any mule without burning up the transmission and I don't care about scratches...

    death of regular cab pickups

    Standard cab pickups were always unattractive to me for many reasons, but especially when I had a family. I ALWAYS wished I had just a "little" more room in the cab to stow high value items when I was running errands. I owned ONE in 1986 and had it for about 13 years. It was ok when there were...

    Side by Side or 4x4

    UTV's used to be a decent buy...but that was well over a decade (actually 2) ago. I left the industry for another career path when these UTV's started to become a hot commodity (specifically Kawasaki Mule line), but now the prices for these are WAY out reasonable territory. MUCH better to buy an...

    Beware of Catalytic Converter Thefts

    Nope, REAL easy with some special "poker" tools they are making to do this. Remember the old oil cans? Poke and pour? There are ready made "tools" in the "thief industry" to do this quickly. BTW almost ALL modern (last 10+ years or so) are made of plastic. At least the steel ones were a little...

    Beware of Catalytic Converter Thefts

    Platinum often is close to value of gold, sometimes more so. Right now about half...palladium is the one +/- to gold right now...they seem to flip flop from time to time.

    Beware of Catalytic Converter Thefts

    Can't really siphon from modern vehicles. They will just poke a hole in your tank now...
