SXM is still good to have out west where large sections of highway have no cell service. Playing their games and getting it for $5 per month was worth it when I lived in Northern AZ and traveled rural highways weekly. My brother gave me a Spotify login on his account that I use, but since I...
The cost of my equivalent Bronco is up $9K (20%) since I purchased in November 2021. What is an equivalent Bronco going to cost in 5-7 more years? If I’m only using it as a fun car I may keep it 10+ years. I currently have an employer provided work truck I drive daily.
My wife’s lease is up...
Generally an extended warranty can be cancelled for a pro rated refund, and a new extended warranty purchased. I’m considering cancelling my 8 year 100K extended warranty to rebuy the now available 10 year from Ford. The price difference is about $500, assuming I keep the truck to 10 years it...
Inflation isn’t over, the rate of growth has just fallen to 50% higher than the Gov’t target. The ~20% inflation incurred over the past couple years is the new normal, I don’t see us going back to 2020 prices ever. The fed will keep raising rates until inflation is in the 2% range, but to get...
I depressed the clutch pedal to the floor with a 2x4 to reduce the pressure on the factory spring. Once I pulled the e clip I was able to slide the lower mount off without issue.
On reinstall I definitely recommend attaching the bottom first on reinstall and then pushing the top section onto...
My amp is too powerful…said no person ever. I’d much rather have an oversized amp with plenty of headroom rather than pushing a smaller amp at max.
I already have a Kicker Key 500.1, so regardless of sub that is what I plan on using. It should be fine for a single 8” or 10” sub, but I would...
Torrential downpour today, had a significant leak on the drivers side pillar. My 2021 only has 4200 miles and is garaged most of the time. November 2021 build date.
I did some exploratory panel removal and found water all the way to the floor and a nice puddle under the washout floor...
The IBS sensor can be overcome by connecting the wires to the truck side of the sensor. The on demand charging poses a bigger problem, the alternator is variable output and doesn’t account for a the second battery. The solution is a DC to DC charger for the second battery. I picked up a 20...
Why not private sell the Jeep? Seems like that would narrow the gap between online trade in price and what they are selling for.
I trade in a lot of work trucks. It’s always a bit disgusting when I see a truck I traded to them for $21K listed for sale the next week for $48K and they’ve done...
Not a new scam, dealers have been doing it for decades. Some sell aftermarket warranties from finance companies, others sell a canned dealer group owned warranty product that only works at their locations.
Dealers usually mark up the Ford ESP by 50-100% over cost. When I purchased my 2020...
I do wish the brake applied automatically in the manual Bronco when I press the ignition button to turn the truck off. My 2022 Silverado 1500 diesel automatically applies the ebrake when I put the truck in park.
I did find minor paint damage on both sides when I reinstalled the top this spring. I took a file to the rivets to shorten them and added some Xpel strips to cover the damage. I still love the top, but there is no reason Bestop couldn’t have shortened the rivets or used a different process to...
