Looks like I'm helping some neighbors move. Neighbor's wife across the street contacted me. Doesn't think her husband's F150 can handle the job. He has a little engine (2.7 v6). She needs All American Muscle from my 6.2 V8. Apparently, I'm helping move the piano.

Don't tell the husband the wife called, he might get "little man" syndrome, lol.  Joking aside, Kudos to you for helping your neighbors with their move, your a good neighbor for doing it.

My Valhalla Off Road Research panels came in the other day and I finally had a chance to install them.

If the piano is an upright make sure he has a stout furniture dolly. There are permanent handles mounted on each end of the piano inside the rear framework at just the right height. Grab these and under the keyboard shelf and lift onto the dolly. Strap and roll up a ramp onto a trailer. Easy peasy !

 

I learned this moving my wife's piano after we got married. I was surprised how easy it was.

 

Hat's off to you for being a good neighbor

Apparently she told him, and he came over to my house to say thanks. He's a taller guy, maybe 6'7", but he was thankful I was able to take care of his wife's needs.

Do me a favor and don't tell anybody I'm a good neighbor. I have a reputation to keep. Next thing you know everybody will want me.

Thanks. I've done it a few times already, and own my own set of furniture dollies that I keep next to the ladder in the garage. This was an upright piano. My wife had one that I acquired via marriage. We move every 3 years, so I've dealt with this quite a bit.

Has anyone replaced the headlight bulbs in their 21 Trail Boss? I can’t for the life of me find the bulbs. Only a couple YouTube videos and none for a 2021 specifically.

The factory lights are not very bright at night.

Hit the 15,000 miles mark this afternoon. I got the truck on 10/21/2020 with 147 miles. This is by far the best truck I've had.

Nice! 
 

I rolled over 15K a couple weeks ago. But I’ve had mine since mid-March 2019. 😂

    • 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!
