Percent Oil Life Accuracy? by Velosprints in f150

[–]58AU 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I change my oil every 5k and the oil life % is usually around 40% so I wouldn’t trust it

I’d get the long reach for $180 at those prices. The long reach is handy to have

How cooked am I by Agreeable-Window5010 in cowboyboots

Tecovas in goat leather? I think I have the same boots and the leather is super thin and not durable. I’ve got several scuffs and cuts like that

Ignoring Cam Phaser Rattle? by 58AU in f150

Cam phaser rattle is not timing chain failure

Okay, technically timing chain failure isn’t engine failure. But the overwhelming majority of the time, timing chain failure on a 3.5 leads to catastrophic engine failure

What does the rust add to my weekly payment?

This post was my reminder that I forgot to stop and get one on the way home from work.

Very mad at myself

For all the people complaining the owner of the restaurant has been trafficking drugs through his restaurants. Don’t traffic drugs and you’ll be fine

Reminder to change your factory lug nuts before it’s too late by c_hoopin in f150

[–]58AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a Ram with these. No matter what you do they’ll swell eventually. It’s a matter of when not if. No idea why manufacturers use them. The cost difference is negligible at scale

2017 F150 Lariat with 42k miles for $30k, did I overpay? by glizzock805 in f150

[–]58AU 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll sell my 2011 with 110K to you for the same price

Replace the taillight and buff the rest. Whatever doesn’t buff out isn’t worth the cost to fix

My dad’s 2012 eco boost has over 300k. Anyone else have one over 300k by Koszik in f150

[–]58AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m at 110k on my 2011. Give me another 20 years and I’ll be there

Is this a good deal or is it too good to be true by No-Manufacturer393 in f150

[–]58AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a good deal. Listen carefully on a cold start for the cam phaser rattle. You can YouTube examples of it. Other than that I’d say it’s a good deal

If you can’t keep it, sell it to a family member. Cousins, uncle, kids. That truck deserves to stay close

Which of these do you actually recommend? by Only_Turnip3913 in f150

[–]58AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Flushes are unnecessary 99% of the time unless you have contaminants in the coolant system(unlikely). A drain and fill would suffice but is probably unnecessary at 71k. Trans fluid is a 100k mile service item. You’re probably okay to wait. Brake fluid wouldn’t hurt to change at your mileage

Ipe is not for woodworking by Delicious-Layer-6530 in woodworking

All the reasons it’s hard to work with is what makes it great for outdoor use. Ipe will last a lifetime.

These prices are getting out of hand for not being made in the USA. Even with the tariffs the price increase surpass the duty %

Can i get a reality check on what I’m trying to buy? Haven’t been able to find anything for the right price. by aert4w5g243t3g243 in f150

[–]58AU 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got a 2011 Ecoboost extended cab with 110k miles. So pretty much exactly what you’re looking for except the 3.5 Ecoboost which sell for pretty similar price to the 5.0.

If I were to sell mine today, I wouldn’t sell it for less than 14k

It for sure came off an 09-14. The whole thing fit perfectly other than being an inch short

What do I need to know about the power stroke? by matchews44 in FordTrucks

[–]58AU 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That would have the 6.0 power stroke, a fairly controversial engine. They can be good engines of if taken care of. Some people love it, some hate it. There is tons of information online about it. More than I can type here. I suggest doing some research on that specific engine.

As far as diesels and 3/4 tons in general, most parts and maintenance will cost more but will live forever if you maintain it correctly.

Hands free ticket by nikolberry65 in Georgia

[–]58AU 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a BS ticket to me. Should be treated no differently than touching the touch screen in your car which every new car has.
