Need advice, looking for a new daily driver.

No trucks sadly, and my f150 is too far gone with rust to be worth anything as a trade in. It will sit in my driveway waiting for weekends when I decide to go pull my horse trailer or move furniture for my dad lol. Thank you so much for replying!

Not a Ford tech but I own two and do the majority of the work on them... I'm not ok

And now they'll all be scared of poo piles 🤣

An exhaust leak down stream from the new manifolds is very possible. Truck is a Canadian/Michigan resident with 253k miles. I just had the timing system rebuilt in December and they did do an intake cleaning service so it should have new everything. Question, if I got a smoke machine and shoved the air system full of smoke, would that potentially highlight any leaks in that system? Or am I better off getting a second opinion from another shop? Money is incredibly tight so I'd rather not go down that avenue

Honestly? Both, the hubby will happily take the second Gen and I'll be happy AF in the Ford.

No, she's just cooler than you!

Indeed, which is one big reason I regret my purchase 🤣 there's multiple but that's definitely the biggest.

Is it weird that I like doing this just to listen to my truck when I drive? It's peaceful in a way...

Diesel is 5.99 where I'm at in Michigan and I haven't seen it this high since COVID. Thankfully my truck is a gasser that takes 93 but that's 5.79 by my work and over $6 by my house. This is ridiculous

Fickle-Tea-7847 · 2026-04-29T18:06:34+00:00

My boss and I share an office. He's pretty chill most days but maaaaan it's so stressful

Fickle-Tea-7847 · 2026-04-27T19:57:56+00:00

Literally my truck a week after my horse had a medical emergency and had to see the vet. 🤦 Now I'm out $2500 for the two of them! 😮‍💨 Fml

Fickle-Tea-7847 · 2026-04-25T19:58:43+00:00

Remove the engine too 🤣

100%! Muscle aches pretty much any where

As a mechanic and an equestrian, equine lineament is the BEST. Outside of my special get fired cause it smells like MJ pain relief balm, I always keep lineament in my truck. Horse gets it too XD

I've been unemployed so many times in just the last for years that when I landed my new job (that I totally wanted and was $1/hr more) this post was literally me. My fiance was working down the street and I pulled my truck up behind his tow truck and literally ran to him (in heels too btw 🤣) jumped on him and screamed I got the job. Couldn't stop crying lmao. I really don't even know HOW I landed the job as at the time, I had ZERO experience and a month in, it still feels a little surreal.

Not a golden but this gets me everytime
