    New car sales will plummet and older cars resale value will skyrocket

    Mike, yes, there is a menu like that in my 2021 F150 and I turned off most of it. I think I left the Nav stuff on, although I should probably shut that down too, because I use my iPhone for navigation, which is better than the OE system, and it's one less app I have to learn to use. I don't...

    New car sales will plummet and older cars resale value will skyrocket

    You can disable the data connections from your vehicle. At least in my 2021 F150 I can.

    Remind me of approximate mileage to empty

    Sorry, i didn't notice this question was for the 2017+ models.

    Remind me of approximate mileage to empty

    I have gone over 400 miles on a full tank, so it depends greatly on how you drive it. I have about 50 miles from the point where the fuel low light comes on at legal highway speed

    Recaro News

    It's yet another business maneuver. Bankruptcy is just part of the financial game. Every major US airline has been through bankruptcy too.

    Bucket list trip

    You don't have a family--you have a car club! I'm envious. I have to do more stuff like this with my son, my brothers, etc. The Beartooth and Chief Joseph highways into Yellowstone are epic.

    05/06 street driven brake pads...

    Tomcat: What nota4re is gently telling you is that you don't drive your car hard enough! Get out on I-10 or US98 and drive it like you mean it.

    2005 DASHBOARD

    If all your instruments suddenly stopped working, it's not the individual instruments. Instead, you lost power to the panel or the gauge sender unit under the passenger footboard (IIRC). But, check fuses first. If the fuses are okay, then the troubleshooting becomes more complex. Post your...

    05/06 street driven brake pads...

    I'm still on my original stock pads and rotors at 85,000 miles with a half dozen track days. Why choose anything else?

    Getting a PPF tmr. What cautions should Technician take?

    Ditto what the others have said. I've been using Clearplex for 5 years and it has saved many nicks, and probably a crack or two. I have to look really closely to see that it's there. It has held up to windshield wipers too,

    Getting a PPF tmr. What cautions should Technician take?

    Yes, what Rob said. Do the windshield.

    Battery Connection Anti-Corrosion Gel and Other Connections Too

    Ditto what HighHP said. Plus this: I prefer this particular HF multimeter for two reasons; (1) it shuts off itself so it doesn't waste batteries, and (2) the leads and probes neatly wrap around and click into the body of the meter. Yeah, it's more "expensive" at an astronomical $20, but, ya...

    New GT Owner Hennessey 850 Fuel?

    Welcome to the Forum, and yes, you got a good deal. The Hennessy mods are icing on the cake. It's good to hear that you plan to drive it, because these cars are so rewarding to drive. WARNING: These cars have almost instant torque, but don't have traction control nannies. That means the...

    Battery Connection Anti-Corrosion Gel and Other Connections Too

    Frank, we both posted about the same time. You are right in observing that the pigtail is too short to reach outside the car. I still say that cutting the rings and opening them to go around the terminal itself is a poor approach.

    Battery Connection Anti-Corrosion Gel and Other Connections Too

    No, that's not how to attach it. As you set it up, the battery terminal would have to be pressed on top with a lot of force (hundreds of pounds) to keep those in tight contact. I can almost assure you that those will eventually come loose. You should cut them off and crimp on new rings...

    EV cars, is the future there ? Porsche rocks the Ring with the Taycan

    What I would really like to see, and for which I would even trade-in my 2021 F150 3.0 Diesel (which I love), is a F150 diesel PHEV.

    Battery removal

    ^^ This makes me glad I'm keeping my 2005 GT, where a battery is just a battery and anyone can replace it.
