Roush team may be looking to supersize

 

By Lee Spencer - SportingNews

 

Is there more to the Roush-Yates merger than sharing the Ford Racing Engine program? Garage sources say Roush Racing has offered to purchase Robert Yates Racing. That would lead to a seven-car Nextel Cup superstable for Ford -- defending Cup champ Matt Kenseth, Mark Martin, Kurt Busch, Greg Biffle and Jeff Burton from Roush, and former Cup champ Dale Jarrett and Elliott Sadler from Yates.

 

The Yates camp says the rumors are rubbish, but I'm unconvinced. RYR has had to calm the concerns of employees, who have witnessed several longtime workers dismissed in recent weeks. Robert Yates, who turned 61 last month, probably would like to spend more time on his boat in Florida. Plus, with the possibility of Toyota entering the Nextel Cup Series in 2006, it makes sense to pool all the Ford resources together -- similar to what General Motors did by combining the Pontiac and Chevrolet programs.

They already share stuff through the engine program so I would not be suprised to see this happen. The Wood Brothers are bascially teamates with them also already.

So in other words, He could own another 5th of the field :D

 

Yates needs to stay seperated from Roush in the aspect. Roush can barely keep his 2 cars that run good running. He doesnt need 2 more drivers to screw over.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
