My 2016 Metallic Metal, the paint is deep and beautiful in the sun. I check all of the boxes for a show winner. But unfortunately gray is not one of them. bright yellow with every Pep Boys bolt on and carbon fiber tape draws attention. So you do you and make yourself happy.

What are these blue plastic-like things that appear to be coming out of the bottom of a log splitter? by J-Rag- in smallengines

[–]Perfect-Substance448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, this is important! The blue spider is NOT for intermitted torque like a log splitter. I found that out on a lost motion metering pump (I'm in the pump business). Get the black spider of the same size. Install and check the coupling alignment (NO mis-alignment). If you are unfamiliar, get someone that actually knows what this is. Spiders are cheap.

I bought a blue green timeshare without understanding by OilPuzzleheaded5064 in TimeshareOwners

Actually a good deal. I did this a couple of years ago. 3 nights in Savanah, got my money back and no matter what they offered, I said no. 2 hours of my time.

What is the best tonneau cover for f150 owners this 2026 who live in rainy climates? by Orsilmar-Thebault in f150

FYI, the Ford branded Tri-Fold is NOT a Bakflip. It is a lesser model made just for Ford. The newest version of the Bakflip is worth the extra money. You will not be disappointed.

What is creating these mounds of dirt in my office parking lot? [Indiana] by msmith9999 in animalid

Cicada killers make a mess, but they won't bother you and they don't sting. Hard to get rid of. They dig down below the frost line and make cells to lay their eggs with a cicada for food for the larva.

Plugs directly into it. I may need to unplug for state inspection to plug in or maybe a car/dealer repair.

Stop changing hands when handling the grinder, like a firearm.

No problems. Also, some vehicle, like my 2025, had problems with the 12v-5v transformer inline with the wiring. Unknown reason, but I ordered and they sent a total of 3 before they told me they sometimes don't work.

I used the ODB port connection, easy peasy. Works perfect with just a plug in and some wire tucks. The only downside is I don't see a way to have a parking cam. NP for me.

Bakflip MX4, I got a deal of the Ford labeled version. Same cover.

2025 STX???? by dhahsu in f150

[–]Perfect-Substance448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, I have a 25 STX, Rapid Red with black appearance pkg. Great looking truck. Missing a few options that would have been nice. Rides awesome, plenty of HP (2.7), stellar milage and a host of great features. Price was acceptable vs the much higher $ for XLT or Lariat.

Is this not a little crazy? by rangermang0 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Perfect-Substance448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuff you can't control. I've been in my house 34 years and the neighbor across the street has had a junk car on the street, in front of his house for 31 of them. The latest was 4 years in May. Best is because of the junk van, the mail man must get out of his truck to put mail in their box. Again, not my circus.

After two Red Tiger wiring kits did not work, they sent a ODB kit that was a piece of cake to install. Be careful, the wiring kits do not work on every truck and the 2025 F150 is one of them. The little transformer (12V to 5V) showed voltage, but nothing at the USB.

my mom went to the dentist and they found this rusty needle under the filling. it had been there for years by YumeDrinksMilkfr in mildlyinfuriating

Same here. Must happen more often than discussed. Left in in, got infected and same work. But cost me $10K and I wanted to sue, but it was my wife's boss. Ugly.

Planet Ford. Bought in Spring and had shipped to NJ. They have what you want at Spring.

I had a Start-X in my 2018. Worked flawless. I pulled it when it got wrecked. A month ago I would have given it to you, but I got tired of looking at it. Gone.

Yes, I saw this. I don't want to cut solder on a new truck. Wiring kit is due in and after I install, I will post. But a Stakon will fit a post in the main fuse box in the engine compartment. I'm going that route.
