  1. Idling down - Feeling Stupid

    I was simply pointing to the info that quotes someone from Ford explaining what I mentioned. I also made a joke using word play, since you resorted to name-calling for whatever reason. All good, I’ll stop quoting you now.
  2. Idling down - Feeling Stupid

    Someone else shared the info. Post number 4 in this thread. Cool it, Turbo.
  3. Idling down - Feeling Stupid

    Ok, I’ll try again. Never said they did. Coolant continues to flow after engine shutdown. A pump isn’t necessary.
  4. Idling down - Feeling Stupid

    Like someone has already mentioned, coolant continues to flow throughout the system after you shut the vehicle off.
  5. 2.3 vs. 2.7 vs. 3.0 engines after 100K miles (wear & tear assessment via teardowns)

    It’s narrated by AI. That’s not a human speaking in to a microphone. RJ that’s worked on Ford engines for 20 years doesn’t exist. They didn’t pull engines off a shelf and tear them down. It’s lies to get as many views as they can while being as lazy with AI as they can. An AI engine searches the...
  6. Whistling Noise

    What year?
  7. 2.3 vs. 2.7 vs. 3.0 engines after 100K miles (wear & tear assessment via teardowns)

    As already pointed out, the video is AI trash and not credible in the slightest.
  8. Anybody buying motor oil in bulk?

    I wouldn’t want to use oil from a huge container. It does have a shelf life and additive packages do separate and sit at the bottom. I’d rather have a jug I can shake and dump in.
  9. MPG

    I was taught to never coast. You have less control. I just don’t see a reason for it. I am always rev match downshifting when slowing down, never going in to neutral. That’s not what I said. You compared a 10AT to a 7MT with the same engine powering them. Your unknown BMW with a completely...
  10. MPG

    Jeez. You’re not using fuel while engine braking. You’re using fuel if you pop it in to neutral and idle the engine while coasting down a hill. I get worse MPG at 70mph on flat ground in 6th than I do in 5th. Always have with 7mt badlands gearing. Going to larger tires exacerbated this. 6th is...
  11. MPG

    You coast down hills? As in, put it in neutral? If so, that’s worse for MPG and your brakes. If you’re shifting out of 2nd and 3rd around 2k, you’re lugging the shit out of it in the next gear. Higher RPM is safer and more efficient than lower RPM and more load/boost.
  12. Warranty? Ford dealer said won’t cover bc rusted

    Sounds like they just tried to zip it off with an impact and when it got stuck towards the end they uggadugga’d it off anyway, rather than cleaning up the threads. Not ford’s fault.
  13. A good ol' fashioned forum mystery

    Actually sticking out an additional 12mm also helps.
  14. A good ol' fashioned forum mystery

    You’re pushing the center of the tire out by 12mm. The tire is the same width in both scenarios. It’s that simple.
  15. Need a battery recommendation.

    Obviously doesn’t cover all of them but an interesting watch. I run a lithium-ion in another car and it works well but is not daily driven. I wouldn’t use one in a daily driver.
  16. Future of the 2.7L?

    You most certainly do not.
  17. ESPN draft analyst has arm amputated after horrific Bronco crash

    Those weak ass tie rods.
