Interesting it has reached the west coast. The last few years on the east coast the WIX/Mann+Hummel have been phased out (was told by our napa rep west coast was staying wix). They first took the entire platinum line out, then alot of the golds switched to made in Vietnam. Always easy to spot. I...

Light rattle now and then on cold start and the accompanying CEL. I was still working for Ford when the first gen EcoBoost came out, even had a F150 with one for a daily for years, they really aren't that bad. Not as simple as a Coyote, but not bad, and great tow rigs! 2nd gen's get a way worse...

Sold my 240, picked up a nice oil burner w123, always wanted one of these. Picked up a fairly nice 2015 Navigator for the women, wouldn't be my first choice but for $2500 I rolled the dice. Crazy how worthless these are when all they need are timing chain guides+tensioners.

Oh my God. Enjoyed 800 miles today of normal cruise control! This is fantastic! I was actually thinking of just removing the cross bars, they looked like they would be the biggest aerodynamic killer. I knew I didn't need the roof rack for this trip so I figured I'd just swap the factory on...

285/70/17 (baby 33's) Falken AT4's,100% bone stock suspension. I do have 6112's on notch 3 (3/4" lift for the front), didn't put them in yet though. On the way out I actually averaged 17.3mpg from Buffalo to South Dakota. Once the speed limit picked up and the land wasn't flat anymore I...

I've spent over $1k on fuel so far on a cross country road trip. Cheapest I filled up was 3.90, most expensive was somewhere in Seattle @ 5.50ish. Averaging 16.3, but I've been doing 80+ most of the time. Not great but to be expected I guess. I'm glad I read up on the 4/5 gal reserve, I was...

Add me to the list when there back in stock!

Actually between Yellowstone and Grand Teton Alaska eventually I hope.

I feel so stupid... Last year when I put on my RW's, I installed 4 new Autel sensors, programmed with my trusty TS508. I could never get it to work, I could OBD clone them, program them, the light would be off, but they would never read any pressure. After a halfhour trip the TPMS light would...

I'd personally pass unless it was a steal. Plenty of cleaner examples out there.

I bought the typical china mini-VCI adaptor probably 2 years ago but finally needed to use it when the a/c quite working on the 200. Used the Virtualbox and TechStream mega link in the first post, both are still working fine as of this post. Running a windows 11 laptop. Had the typical issues...

Finally got my wheels back from the powder coater. Mounted up the 35's and tossed them on, certainly rekindled my interest in working on it!

I have a great running 225k 2uz in an extremely rotted 05 chassis.... If your serious send me a PM.
