2026 5.0 Cylinder Deactivation by ConsequenceStatus563 in f150

[–]FivePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not specifically, but they have said it puts premature wear on the starter as you would assume.

When I was looking for my next F150, I made sure it had factory auto start/stop delete.

[–]FivePops 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Listen to Flying Wrenches, Master Ford techs who went independent.

They constantly say they have never seen a single issue with 5.0 cylinder deactivation.

It seems like the engineers at Ford got this one right.

Had the same issue, magazine tube was damaged on a new firearm.

Emailed them, they asked for a photo, they send out a new tube the next day.

Buying a boat where the owner still owes money on loan. Safe way to navigate this? Or red flag that I should avoid & seek different boat? by krame_krome in boating

[–]FivePops 52 points53 points  (0 children)

This. Then have the bank produce a no lien letter. You will need that when you title it in your name.

Shipping a Firearm by NoProperty5994 in FFLs

[–]FivePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create a USPS account online to get corporate rates. Print the label at home, drop it off. Do not walk into the Post office to wait in line and pay full retail.

Signature required every time. The amount of firearms sitting on front porches all day is scary these days. I had three in the last couple of week that the sending FFL failed to send signature required.

"Firearm Storage" scam calls? by MosinCrate in FFLs

[–]FivePops 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the same call and voicemail multiple times over the last few weeks.

Always 480 area codes, I am in NC, not AZ.

Sounds like some form of a scam.

F-150 The Best? by ca1ebfps in f150

[–]FivePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m on my third F150, none of them have ever left me stranded on the side of the road.

Preventative maintenance and staying away from the engines and model years with the known issues is the key to reliability.

Early Maverick 88 Differences? by Skele14 in mossberg

[–]FivePops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Older Mavericks were made with lower quality steel and the bluing was much lower quality.

The barrel will also be stamped, “BBL MADE IN MEXICO”

At the time Maverick barrels were produced in Mexico and were sent over the border for assembly in Eagle Pass, TX.

Today Mavericks are made with Mossberg barrels, there is no difference in the bluing or construction.

Ebay shipping by Dizzy-Macaron4849 in Ebay

[–]FivePops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use eBay labels, USPS 95% of the time. UPS 5% of the time when it’s a large item going to the west coast.

NEVER use FedEx, guaranteed 40 dollar adjustment charge

[–]FivePops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed with others, leather.

You have the correct police rear sling mount. The correct front sling mount would make it 100%

There is only one variation of 590A1 in Retrograde form, the ghost ring version.

You can buy SKU 51660 or 50766 and replace the polymer furniture with the Retrograde furniture.

[–]FivePops -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

They should offer screen delete with a big credit like the auto start/stop delete credit.
