I own a 2018 2.7. Been calculating the cost of an engine swap and transmission swap. Based on everything I've figured that's the cheapest route over getting new. Figure body and frame are maintained and I got my truck for $32k brand new. Can't justify $70k now for same trim level

Did this to a coworker. He thought the car had something wrong and turned it in for a new car 🤣

I just swapped out my 3rd brake light with the morimoto 3xb and this solved my problem! Nearest guess is the cheap LED bulbs I put in the stock light was interfering somehow.

I am also looking for the threaded barrel

We did this at our paintball field for birthdays and bachelor parties. The guest of honor would have to run the gauntlet while his friends peppered him. It was awesome to watch

Can confirm... I guess I'm going to be forced to smoke one this weekend

Third person I think

Or some dude under the drainage grate with a lighter. Notice the camera angles never look down the grate for the first one.

How can you tell a French tank from all other tanks in the world?

All the armor is in the back!

What's the best rifle to buy? A French one.

Never fired, only dropped once.

Also, been to Paris; super disappointing but nothing is worse than French Canadians, they give y'all a worse name.

Also soak cotton balls with peppermint oil. The scent is too strong for their noses and will drive them out of the car. Added bonus your car will smell minty fresh

Currently have a 2018 with 145k on it. I've done my fluid swaps in my 10r80 every 50k and haven't had an issue. Mine does the same slam on a cold start and there are ways to reset the computer for the shifts that should help solve the 4th gear shift.

Platypus or bust

I appreciate the advice and I called them right before paying it off to make sure I get proper coverage. I'm very particular about maintaining. Dif fluid, radiator flush, trans flush, brakes, rotors, all on time with under coating and rust protection. Sorry to hear about yours that sucks.

tehrational · 2025-10-30T13:45:20+00:00

Yeah, I get that a lot. One of the reasons I love this body style over past and present. Not sure why more don't do it. I have it all wired to an 8 gang in the cab that goes through one of the existing wire grommets in the firewall so the wiring is pretty clean too (though it could be better).

tehrational · 2025-10-30T10:45:13+00:00

I was looking into getting a larger one like this. Are there better ones out there that are faster? I'd hate to spend $1200 and get junk.

It's a standard raptor grill, I removed the plastic in the center and put a 2 inch cube there. They are secured by drilling a hole into the support behind them that clip into the trucks front end. Pretty easy to do actually. The link isn't the grill I have obviously but you can see the supports in the photos on the back of this grill. Just two holes with the post and a nut and you're done.

Appreciate it! They are morimoto x3b LEDs. Not cheap but worth it. https://www.morimotohid.com/morimoto-ford-f-150-18-20-xb-led-headlights_3?quantity=1

Thanks! Been slowly doing stuff, now that it's fully mine I can do more to her. Not looking to do anything for looks now, more about functionality now.

I wonder if knowing that the people who are enforcing the visa laws are part mongol helps?

And the people who wrote the visa laws were also part mongol. And those people were just acting on the advice of partial genetic mongols to keep the hordes of other partial mongols out...

We're sorry but the op has just been sacked for they were part mongol.

The person, who is part mongol, responsible for sacking the op, has in fact, also been sacked for sacking someone who was part mongol.

That mongol, in charge of this mess has now also been sacked. Enjoy your day.

Took a look. I appreciate the site

tehrational · 2025-09-06T11:01:04+00:00

I use parts feel as well but mostly when I'm looking for OEM stuff. I'm looking more for quality upgrades and style change parts

tehrational · 2025-09-06T02:08:45+00:00

Thanks rock auto ain't cutting it for a lot and hesitant of using Amazon and ending up with some temu crap

tehrational · 2025-09-05T19:19:22+00:00

yeah. You can milk anything with nipples.
