    If you actually have someone cut you off with 10 feet spacing at 60 mph it will definitely put on the brakes as would I even without cruise control on!

    Doesn’t work like that. They would have to be very close for brakes to actually be applied. Most of the time it just coasts until the gap is recovered.

    I am not a fan of wet belts either. My understanding is they have gotten rid of it or are getting rid of it in th 2.7 I used to keep cars/trucks until over 200k. I can afford to buy new cars often now so I don’t bother keeping them that long I still keep very good care of them though. The...

    2022 grand Cherokee. Two spark plugs per cylinder. So 16 spark plugs! Took over 3 hours. 3.5 ecoboost….30 minutes.

    I had a 2018 3.5 ecoboost. It WAY easier than working on a V8 hemi in a recent jeep grand Cherokee. Not even close. it’s still workable from the top. They just designed to have the option to raise the cab

    You can still work on it without. It’s just way easier to raise the cab and requires less hours. Not sure why this is so mind boggling to you.

    It’s way easier to raise the cab than remove an engine. They are designed that way on purpose to make it cheaper to work on them. My 2018 Ford F-150 was easier to change belts and water pump than my 1990 Suburban….by far! I actually never had to change the water pump but I could see how easy it...

    Yep. Me too. My auto insurance is pretty stable until I add a brand new vehicle to it. 3 of my 4 vehicles are 3 years old or less. I am laughing at the “conspiracy”. My home owners insurance, on the other hand, goes up way more. That’s due to fire danger.

    hub dust cap

    Overfill doesn’t always work. Even if it does, the hub is over pressurized for awhile meaning you may have already breached the rear seal. I repack every two years except one trailer which has vault hubs.

    Yep. When I am towing my trailer, it puts a huge red area on the screen to show anything that is in my trailer’s side area.

    Probably one of the most important safety features! Btw…politics has nothing to do with this so just stop with your nonsense.

    If you accelerate at a normal rate, it will skip. If you accelerate higher, it might not skip.

    But Sitake isn't. Chesney isn't Cignetti isnt Dooley isn't Steele isn't Butch Davis isn't Coke isn't Fullmer isn't And I am not to worried about a few of those ever coaching again.

    That would be false as Jimmy Sexton is not Kalani Sitake's agent.

    In the half tons they are. GM and Ford developed their own 10 speeds in the 3/4T and up although they started with the half ton designs and they went in different directions on the heavy duty transmissions.

    You hardly feel the shifts in a 10 speed. BTW, when you drove that bronco, it skips gears 2 and 4 unless you were in sport or trailer mode. F-150s do the same.

    Things i hate

    I hate painting too which is why I usually hire people to do it now. My friend and I just built a balcony at my lake Tahoe house. It was harder to paint that walls in a house because of all the nooks and crannies. At least I did some of it on the ground before it went up and painted it all...

    I love 10 speed transmissions. Had it on my 2018 F-150 and have it on my 2024 GMC 2500. Both are the smoothest shifting transmissions I have ever owned and perfect for towing, although they never go above 8th gear while towing. Coupled with adaptive cruise control, you never have to deal with...
