I understand your frustration. I work for an tractor dealer and we are having a lot of trouble getting parts. At least you understand this but the communication black hole is a big issue. When my 2.7 in my BD blew last July, I was lucky. The dealer rep was not very responsive but when I opened a...
Don't ever use a brush or rag until all of the mud is rinsed off. Soak it before trying to rinse. Save the brush and/or rags until all that is left is the mud film. Any grit left will scratch when picked up by a brush or rag. As far as leaving it for a while, depending on what the mud contains...
Thanks. I like to use snatch blocks because like you said, you are not in a race and slower is usually safer. Also, sometimes you need it because of where the pull or winch vehicle has to be spotted. They are handy.
Sorry if this is a stupid question for you that are experienced with synthetics, but how about using snatch blocks with it? Would you need one with a wider pulley or are there special made ones. Never have been around synthetic ropes but have used cables quite a bit.
It is surprising but I have seen several vehicles that hit livestock without airbag deployment. I don't know for sure but I would guess it would be that large animals are impacted above the sensors? Good to see that you are ok and your Bronco should be fairly easily repairable, it just may take...
Same here. Buying fuel from the same station and early this fall dropped 3-4 mpg's in one tank full. 21/22 to 18/19. It has stayed consistent with no other difference than temps and yes I know that will also make a difference but it will not stay consistent as neither does the temp.
Don't know about engines making a difference but my button has a different picture, no clock and I have the standard transfer case. I can set speed with it and if I don't set a speed it will stop when I let up on the throttle. This feature makes me dislike an auto trans less for trail use.
Advanced transfer case must be the difference. My BD has standard case and it has 1 pedal driving and with an auto trans it works great for crawling along or going down steep inclines without having to constantly be on the brakes. Not really needed with manual trans.
If this is an area meant for this use then I'm ok with it. Like I said, mudding is fun, just do it in areas where it is appropriate. Sorry, I should have been more clear.
Good response. Doing this on a road unless it is on your property is irresponsible. Also, how easy would it have been to hit a rut and launch thru a fence. Mudding is fun but be more responsible. It gives us a bad name.
A gentleman that works at the auto grinding yard said that have stacks of ev batteries and no where to go with them. He knows people at other yards and they have the same problem. Too expensive to recycle they are told.
Rail companies know what they are doing? Not from what I've seen. The company I work for has it's own siding and receives rail deliveries regularly. They have "lost" railcars many times and then they miraculously show up without any notification.
