By degree I am a mechanical design engineer. It's impossible to say an engineer would chose a chain or a belt. Each has their pros and cons. One must evaluate them within the context of the entire system they are a part of and the list of outcomes you are designing to.
Neither is necessarily...
You are spot on! Staying within the payload is something a lot of people don't look at. They throw a 5K lb trailer on the back with 3 people and a bed of gear and take off.
My rule is that if you're gonna tow you put everything on the truck (including humans), go to a LOVES truck stop and fill...
🤣. Yep. Cause the people that are out to prove something is an issue aren't intelligent enough to reason. If 1 belt broke they'd yell they were right but when I find a chain that broke in another engine they'd argue that was a one off.
I have an uncle like that and I literally haven't talked to...
I have the 2.7L and love it. Got 9K miles and am trying to determine if I want to run full synthetic or a blend.
I have my local dealer (Planet Ford 45 Spring, TX) do all the scheduled maintenance at 5K mile intervals.
Haven't seen anyone say that full is definitely worth the added cost, but I...
Is there any benefit on have 1° or so of negative camber for someone spending 80-90% of their time on road? I know true off roaders run 3° or so of negative.
I am looking for a way to monitor engine temp, trans temp, oil temp, etc on a regular basis.
I see there are a number of Bluetooth enabled OBD2 port solutions.
1. Has anyone tried any and have a recommendation?
2. If I use a Bluetooth enabled one, will that interfere with Bluetooth enabled...
This may be a great solution for under hood lighting too. Attach it to the underside of the hood....? I guess moisture may end up destroying it there though?
To be clear, you have to be in off-road mode to display them, correct?
I have an FX4 XLT and would love to be able to display them outside of that mode.
Dude, that looks amazing! White with these black accents make me jealous I didn't go for White.
I see the Fender Flares listed here (I asked you in another post).
Thats my problem with all of it. The video creator is trying to create drama where it doesn't really exist for monetary gain. His efforts are then rewarded by useful idiots (the "wet belt" crowd).
