That's not a 9" though...

This still going on? How the heck are they going to enforce people modifying an old vehicle for off road use only? Around here (and many areas of the country) there is a dirt track that has a bomber class. Take an old 4 cylinder front wheel drive compact car, remove interior and glass, remove...

I thought the Outerbanks was going to be SandSquatch?

4. I guess I'm chicken for now but it'll also be my daily driver...

Rotor diameter is not the only thing that affects braking power.

Option 3: No spouse, no problems :D

I'd say go ahead and do the locker. The only real risk would be the ring and pinion going bad if the backlash was set wrong on the gears. Pay someone who knows how to do it correctly and I really doubt it will matter nor will Ford ever find out.

SMH at the people that get the clutch hot...how? Well...I know

Did you at least get to meet the hot girl at the dealership?

RC crawling is a lot of fun! I recently 3d printed this rig and am having a blast around my house.

I thought tow/haul affected how the transmission shifted? If that is it, there wouldn't be a need for it with a manual.

Please do not do it this way. This will wear the clutch out a lot faster than if you rev match.

Power steering and electric starter aren't driver aids that make up for lack of skill. Traction control and rev matching computer are for people with driving that lacks skill or are too lazy to learn.

At this point we should have automatics lasting 300k+ but most barely make it 150k or much much less. The old C6 or TH350 were awesome pieces but they didn't have overdrive and shifted hard (that's how they lasted, no slipping). As soon as they added more gears and slippery shifts they made them...

It could be a less efficient air intake design meant to keep water out of the intake. Also exhaust could be a factor.

As with a lot of manuals, most of the problems are from people shifting way too hard or leaving their hand on the knob all the time. Ramming it into gear or thinking they are a racecar driver and shifting as fast as possible. This creates problems in the shifting forks or guide rods inside...

Ford is trying to get maybe 1 more MPG out of it. It's all about EPA numbers anymore. A manufacturer makes X number of these, X number of this, etc and the numbers are somehow averaged and the better the manufacturer's EPA number is the better off they are. So 1 MPG doesn't mean anything to most...

What about having a 2nd set of wheels and tires with no sensors? How annoying is the light going to be?
