4 hours is laughable, they are ripping you off big time. Do most of the work yourself then find an ASE mechanic to hit a couple buttons and give you an invoice. Or do it yourself.
I just noticed that after installing my Nitto Nomads mpg went up by 2 already. That's in addition to better acceleration and dry grip. I know a lot of folks don't want to replace tires that are still good but in my case I found the Nittos on sale so even installed I was out $850. I sold the...
I recently installed OE sized Nitto Nomad Grapplers since I don't plan to offroad and immediately saw a 2 mpg boost in addition to better accecleration and dry grip.
We use a small plug-in rigid, as others have said battery vacs just can't compete. We also have a full-size shop vac if needed. I am committed to DeWalt battery tools but can't justify the vac (although they have one that uses battery or plugs in). As an aside I love my michelin bed mat, so...
The tuned 3.5 I had in my '18 F150 was flawless for 5 years. Next owner had to do cam phasers but that was a known issue. Apparently can still be an issue on the 3.0 (buddy was a Ford service manager). I don't think the 3.5 offers enough benefit to warrant the upgrade. With a real tune the...
Twist the dial around the buttons for 2WD, 4A, etc. Each twist (it has a stop) puts you in a different mode and it twists both ways. It actually took me some time to figure that out.
I just swapped tires to Nitto Grapplers SL since I don't offroad. I already had the Roush wheels but 10 lbs per tire less is immediately noticable! As was said in another thread the tires make the biggest difference when reducing unsprung weight as the tread is the furthest from the hub. I...
There are plenty of high flow filters/intakes that aren't oiled. I got the paper S&B and run a prefilter as well. Have run that set for 8 years on 2 trucks, no issues. All the highest performance cars run high flow intakes/filters granted not oiled filters.
"on a bicycle you need to worry about unsprung weight, thats where the real savings are."
From your link, you should probably read before just copying and pasting.
Go to a sports car forum like Rennlist and you'll get laughed off the board. Track guys put smaller wheels and tires to save unsprung weight and increase braking and handling. It's called inertia. Heard of it? Try to get a 25 lb rolling then try a 50 lb ball, according to you it should take...
It is a 5200 lb truck and the 3.0 can only be pushed so far and still be reliable. Add lightness, start with wheels and tires. It will be quicker if you lose 20-25 lbs. unsprung weight per corner.
For now I believe only European cars come with GPF, Porsche for example has them on the '25 and later 911s. Fortunately they aren't required here so aftermarket exhausts can eliminate them.
That port isn't even the one for tuning, that's just to get it set up on your computer. Plus you need to use the touchscreen to scroll through the menu to tune it, something doesn't add up.
