    Fuel Pump for my 2001 F-350

    I'll claim ignorance if issues arise .... But there's kinda more to it ... When I registered this truck back in 2018, I was able to get passenger car plates for it. It's 60 pounds under the limit in NY state for it. Oddly enough, most F150s have to get commercial tags. It really doesn't do much...

    Safe to remove blind spot mirrors from side mirrors?

    They look funny but they're so much more useful than a full, flat mirror

    First Tesla purchase turning sour.

    I had no idea Teslas were being made in 2013. For some reason I thought they came out in like 2017 or 2018

    Fuel Pump for my 2001 F-350

    There's a Delphi pump on Rockauto that works with the Ford OEM connector apparently. I'd assume it's a good one

    Not a great shot but this is where it's at now

    Fuel Pump for my 2001 F-350

    The flatbed is going to have a wooden floor. So at most I'd have to remove two boards. We made the bed itself so no crossmembers would be over the fuel pump.

    Fuel Pump for my 2001 F-350

    The bed is currently off and it's getting a flatbed. Debating on throwing a fuel pump at it. The truck is 25 years old, it's been sitting for a year. Runs good now but ... that's one of those things that isn't going to be easy to replace sitting on the side of the road. Especially with how rusty...

    Daughter's trip to JiffyLube

    The dealers pump something in the air so when you're sitting there waiting for your oil change, you decide to buy a new one

    What is the single best vehicle to buy if you're a tightwad?

    What's the corolla struggle with? Power or handling a trailer? I used my Focus to move lots of small trailers and it did great.

    Tractor Supply hydraulic oil class action suit

    I remember reading a random oil from PQIA that was similar to that. It had used oil, other unidentifiable stuff and some coolant.

    Tesla Cybertruck Hit With Stop-Sale Because of Unintended Acceleratiom Report

    Sounds like someone can't afford their lease and is trying to get out of a lease payment. It's the late 00s Toyota "runaway" scam again.

    Will doing this cleanup delete my remembered usernames and passwords?

    If the password was truly compromised, you'll need to change it. Removing it from cookies / password manager doesn't change that someone else has it.

    Why are OEM tires so bad?

    The cars need to come with tires and need to get the best fuel economy all for the lowest price ..

    Diff oil to quiet diff whining

    I put 120,000 on the whiney 8.25 differential in my Jeep before I tore it apart to regear the Jeep. That always made a LOT of noise. When we tore everything apart, nothing looked like it had 215,000 miles on it. It looked like a 50K mile differential. Pinion bearings felt nice, carrier...

    Your Biggest Retirement Regret?

    Sitting is the new smoking. There's a lot of long term health problems from doing desk jockeying.
