Saw A velociRaptor tuesday. An aftermarket tuned SVT Raptor with 600hp and differentbl wheels and tires.

 

Was an off white cream color. Like 2/3rds off white and 1/3rd sun-faded-butterscotch if you can imagine that. Odd color for such a truck IMO.

No, no it doesn't. Properly tuned maybe give out a little cough but should clean up. My 500hp/950ft-lbstq tune from ATP doesn't belch one little bit of black. Smoke thru the entire power range is a sign of poor tuning. Guys running big tunes will belch a bit until the turbo lights it should clean up. Guys running smoke tunes are pure cancer, and ruining the sport.

Lol, knew you would have something to say on the subject.

 

I will smoke you and your fancy dirty max!!!

Her friends are turning her. Any day now she'll show up in an F150

Good news.

Man Ford Sync blows. In my truck all I have to do is plug it in and press aux.

 

I've driven/used various instances of the system but the one in my rental Fusion this week SUCKS. Every time I plug the phone in I have to scroll to one menu, tell it I want to use USB, back out a menu or two and only then can I navigate to the album/song I want. Drives me nuts which is too bad cause otherwise the Fusion is a great car. Makes me realize that if I consider a F150 for the next truck I'll need to bring the cable with me to make sure the system in that truck isn't going to piss me off.

This thing doesn't have manual locks. At all. What happens if it's wrecked? I'll take my 2 airbags and a door I can open, thank you.

The front doors open from the inside when locked. Also, lots of cars now will unlock and turn on the hazards automatically if the airbags pop.

Hmm, any paint and body guys? Picked up the corolla from the repair shop and they blended the clear coat from the replaced fender to across the hood, without repainting the hood. So the old rock chips are enshrined in glossy glory. Is that normal?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
