Washed it yesterday. Luckily got high enough above freezing.

 

My 16 month old twins are starting to race around in their power wheels. They havent got turning figured out quite yet, so when they run into something they just wait(or yell) for me to turn them around. Gets very tiring....

Ryan what is that black stuff your truck is parked on? It's currently -9 here so salt still doesn't work everything (parking lots/roads) is covered in packed ice and snow

My wife pushed a ford truck out of the snow today. Guy got stuck in our subdivision. I am also proud of her because she listened to me. I told her if she is stuck in snow turn off stability control. As she was pushing his truck it lost power she said is your stability control on? He goes the little squiggley lines she was like yes turn it off. He then got unstuck

 

Wife 1 ford truck owner 0 haha. Read your manual people!!!

Same thing happened Monday. I helped the grad student I was working with at UM dig out his car and I told him to disable the traction control. He said ok and started driving while a few of us pushed. I heard the engine cut so I just opened his door, pushed the disable button and a few good shoves later his Kia was out of the snow bank. :lol:

I tried to push this Acura tsx out of my snowy driveway and traction control was not letting the wheels spin and I couldn't shut it off, there is only a button that says VSC to something like that but it would not turn off.... Had to pull it out

Took the truck out to get pizza and stop at my buddies house to pick up a case of Yuengling that he brought back from PA. He says itts pretty darn good. Ive never had it before so we will see.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
