Nice trip! Giving you credit, most folks from way far off donāt know about Swing Arm City, which is sooo much fun. And knowing you went a ways out of your way to get there from Moab, that wasnāt by accident. Curious if you took the south route from Moab then up through Hite/Lake Powell, or did...
Looks familiar and therefore must have been epic! Yeah, I say embrace the chance of cruddy weather while there. The truth for many of us is thatās our reality during winter anyways so was a great opportunity to specifically learn the truck features meant for it. And if itās not, itās a great...
While you mite be right, this whole migration to infinitely more complex drivetrains has way lessened the enjoyment of working on my own stuff. And I canāt be the only one feeling that way. Giving a different slant to your take, I see this as a less is more scenario, where you have a mostly...
That whole trip looks awesome. We took a similar path but from UT down to Central NM. (If you hit Chama NM to get a chile relleno, well, now you're just making it weird. Haha). Something for next time though is to at least stay a night out of town in Moab. Thereās sooo much BLM access just a...
Ya I was mostly referencing the fun to be had in DEEP snow with you @JohnGalt, but I agree the Oct window should actually be a wonderful time to go to Mt Potosi/Vegas. Ironically we, were shooting for the same thing booking in Spring to avoid the hot but miss the cold, but it seems like getting...
I went early spring, but I will say, Iām inclined to try and change your mind about snow and how much more fun driving in it WILL make your experience there. From someone who lives and breathes the ānever-summerā snowsport mentality, if you havenāt experienced bumper-deep snow blowing over the...
Thnx as Iāve always wondered. While on the topic, is it also true dealers get paid more for non-warranty work than the same job listed as warranty? If so, I could see a little motivation for dealers to kick a job out of warranty status for say a non-FP tuned PCM, but also could see them maybe...
They had about 6-10ā of snow the night before I went which did make the gravel portion of the road in too much for most rental cars (I recall passing a Z06). But, a couple things: 1) those guys are super accommodating and were parking folks just off the paved road at the bottom and shuttling...
@Ducati1098 Iāve always wondered, in the event of a powertrain issue/failure, is it protocol for Ford to have dealerships check for that specifically so they can duck out of paying warranty work?
Subscribed and optimistic tor you. As is commonly said, the first thru the wall is the bloodiest. But Juicy got their F150 one right and once they blueprint the modules, should be systematic for all others. Im waiting for 3 things here: 1) for them to reliably work all bugs out, 2) for my...
Youāve got two sets of OEM fog lights: the outside set of fogs run off HL switch, inside set (w/Rigid covers) run off Aux 1. On my ā23, both sets of fogs can kick on in tandem when switched with low beam headlights no problem. Its worth noting the outside fogs will kick off automatically when...
Never even saw the 7.3 as possible for Bronco assuming it way too big, but yet here I am. As I recall, Ford brought it out to replace the 6.8 V10, but TIL it measures smaller than the 5.0 (but 150# heavier with its cast block). With how nimble the Braptor is off road at speed Iām hesitant to add...
Different schools of thought out there but me personally, dad got me into a Gale Banks clinic during college and I now canāt unsee his approach. You may be right that if you just want cheap horses solely, a tune might give you the best ROI, but at what cost to the engine, drivetrain? Any one...
Thnks. Googled it last night, Juicy popped up and saw their Gen2 SEMA vid. The 7.3s a heavy engine but upside potential (particularly torque) is undeniable.
@Tye, you pulling the trigger on this? And if so whatās ballpark on it?
Yeah, I recall your posts back then about being scheduled early while the rest of us had crickets. Anger management/therapy allow me to talk about it all now though⦠š
Definitely update with their response. For cost offsets, Iām curious whats street value on a perfectly good 3.0 EB in Australia considering theirs run PowerStroke Miniāsā¦?š¤
