Finally got my rental!! The insurance adjuster blamed the car place the car place said "oh you did not come get it Friday so we thought that you did not want it" and they did not call any one to check on it. That was Tuesday, and they did not have any more cars to rent going to have some shipped in. Called me today and said my rental was here I could come get it. When I got there all I saw was a f150 crew cab!! Shocked me that they got me a truck, I will write up my thoughts on the ecoboost after I drive it a day or two. :jester:

Jim, make sure you run that Furd through the tests, like 0 to 100 to 0, the brake torque test, the mud hole test, the drifting test and any other you can think of, lol. All of this testing will be for product research of coarse :)

 

 

I did drive around with my foot in the gas today to test the new exhaust... Quiet when needed and aggressive under acceleration.

Well the way "carma" works is once you get one you won't hit anything lol. I haven't hit any deer with this truck, but I have with the one on our work truck. I've managed to stop in time in this truck. One of my friends rolled his car though, so I got to push it around some. :lol:

 

In a rural area, it's not if, it's when. Some you cant avoid. I've had one friend who totaled his truck on a cow, and one almost totaled on a deer. From looking at the design of the bumper it'll take more than the truck can.

Maybe? Doubt it will change it much if at all. My air raid MIT didn't change the tune at all

      Hit mid 90's today. Even at the boarder of Canada and up by Duluth it was in the 90's. Going to be like this all week. Sure it's nothing like the south seeing 100's but they do say it's a different kind of heat here with all the lakes/water and humid days.

      Pill flip on the transmission cooler lines is a 100% must do thing too.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      It's a '21 and was a CPO with extended protection when purchased, so hopefully it will be covered.   I supposedly have all of it's service record history and nothing noted other than routine fluid changes, tire rotations, and the windshield washer nozzles replaced once.

      LCA bolts

      By newdude · Posted

      I would argue that GMPartsDirect has that info wrong.    The service manual for R+R the lower arm and for adjusting camber/caster, none of the steps say to discard and replace the nut or the bolt.    The only part that gets discarded is the plastic cam adjustment retainer that is in the eccentric from the factory.     The LCA nut torque spec is:  First Pass: 180 Y (133 lb ft) Final Pass: 90 –105 Degrees   That is WELL past 130ft.lbs per the TSB that you reference that does not apply to this scenario.     As for your clunk.  I'd say it needs to be diagnosed thoroughly.  Assuming the LCA hardware is tight, you could have a problem with the UCA, sway bar end links, etc.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      The filtering to wear relationship goes like this:      'Relative Engine Life "Factor" new divided by the factor old. So 8/3= 2.67. That result is the multiplier thus if a motor had an effective life of 100K using a filter with a 45 micron rating at a Beta ratio of 75 then a filter with a micron rating of 10 at a Beta of 75 would improve expected engine life to 267,000 miles.    Wear metals are an indirect indicator. Less is better and the motor lives longer but there isn't a multiplier like there is for filtration so well documented. Most of that has to do with the sensitivity of the wear metals tests themselves. They read a 'slice' of the spectrum but not the absolute values for the entire spectrum. So a general indicator that is used WITH the results of other tests. Two others considered in this post. Trending is very important.    There is also the influence of corrosive wear which may be seen in the wear metals but separate from load based or viscosity mitigated indication. It's a small graph but the gray line is wear vs the TBN/TAN crossover. Not as useful as it used to be as there are now new chemistries for acid remediation that don't show up in standard UAO testing. They will catch up or be found liars. Only two possible outcomes, eh?
