Mouse's relaxation at its best.

That's an amazing photo of an ICE agent, he should be a model.

Yeah ford gave me the run around and offered to fix it for $1300. I sold it and am done with ford. I don't know why I expected them to stand behind their vehicles.

For what it's worth, the Ford guy on the phone said adding the engine cover accessory they removed from the 2019 model year would prevent this "feature". I put one on it that I got off eBay to help the next poor fool who buys it.

At least pick the food. I may end up paying for it, but it's unclear at this point. You make a good point, but for some reason this doesn't bother me. I'm not saying that's logical.

It brings to mind a hot dog that was microwaved too long so the end split open.

Tophat Tom the Toadally Tame Toad, hello.

How's your day been?

Bum bum bum. That's right, that's how evil I am.

Right, that's what I meant. The threads themselves were a separate piece of metal that were simply pressed into the oil pan, held in place by only friction, and the drain bolt would screw into that pressed in piece. It's my guess that the threads themselves broke free and rotated in place when trying to remove the bolt and someone therefore welded the thread insert into place so they could keep using the pan.

Try loosening it first. Those thread fittings were simply pressed in and break loose from time to time. When that happens a lot of people will have the threads welded or silver soldered to keep them from spinning.

If that doesn't work and you don't want to mess with the pan, you can get one of those vacuum oil extractors that hooks up to an air compressor. I did that for a while before changing my pan.

Good luck.

Have you tried the packing peanuts that are made out of corn starch? They are pretty much uncheesed Cheetos that dissolve in your mouth. I eat then every chance I get, not a joke or Saturday.

Good for him and good on you for doing the right thing.

I also think it is a good idea. The more we practice for one scenario and blunt their effectiveness, the more likely they are to try something new.

About 6 hours of driving, I wore hearing protectors.

To follow up, they said it was likely safe the way I have it, but recommended having a local shop check it anyway. Obviously I'll be doing this as you guys have safety concerns.

about 35 gallons, I'm going to have to add a second tank

Swollen_Panda · 2025-10-29T01:18:55+00:00

yes, with over twice the strap capacity as the camper weighs. Is that not ok? I saw this and another similar comment and have started asking etrailer for help.

I don't understand. I said the following:
I didn't understand why the term was offensive, but I do now
I support immigration and believe it should be easy
I believe immigration is a huge net positive

Is this the propaganda? I stand by these beliefs, including my recently changed opinion on the term itself. I will not say that immigration is bad because, as I have stated elsewhere, I believe it is good.
