Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Its a 3.3 gallon tank, but thats not counting the massive amount of space taken up by the fuel pump. That thing is huge, was interesting finagaling it out of the tank when I swapped the sending unit...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Shit 200 mile range on an ebike? My last tank on the Harley was 75 miles. Granted, I was romping the fuck out of it. 7k rpm shooting fireballs out of the exhaust. If I drive normal I can get about...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

One step closer to pulling the engine for the Ranger to rebuild, timing tools showed up the other day. I don't really give a shit though. My weekends have consisted of putting hundreds of miles on...

Re: Timing chain rattle. How bad is it.

Unless your valve cover or head gaskets are leaking, I'm sure it's just fluid burning off.

I'm going to replace my head gaskets when I do my timing chains. Even though they aren't leaking, why?...

Re: Timing chain rattle. How bad is it.

Shit, if I had known you did this job yourself, I'd have asked to borrow the damn timing tools instead of spending close to $200 to buy them.

Re: Split CV Boots

You can get new axles for 40 bucks. Not as easy to toss on, but way more reliable.

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Most mine gets driven is to pull it out of the garage to get the motorcycle out. Although, I'll be putting 100 miles on it tomorrow since the Focus is going in for a recall in the morning. May...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Also started dicking around with the Focus a bit. Put a backup camera in it and an android auto double din head unit, all while maintaining sync, and steering wheel controls. Amazing difference,...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

It's nothing special 2008 Sportster 1200 Nightster. But it was free. My parents bought a new 2018 Ford Edge to replace my moms 2005 Chevy Trailblazer since it was a gas hog and getting close to...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Not a whole not of nothing really. Got a Harley late last year, couldn't ride it for like 4 months due to a broken hand and winter.

Bought the wife a new diesel equinox, which is pretty amazing....

Re: Cab corners for my 4 door, and rocker panels.

Any decent body shop can make some. I had mine replaced for around $300 including paint. Can't even tell.

I had a Tahoe struck by lightening a while back. That sucked, 30 hours later it was fixed.

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Ah. Yeah, that's another reason why we got rid of the Escape. Warranty was up, my dealer offers a Lifetime warranty on all new vehicles sold, and since I'm not going anywhere for a while, works out...

Are you still leasing? Or did you ever actually buy one.

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

I really wish more people would jump on the diesel band wagon. The Equinox is about the only vehicle worth a shit you can get with a diesel that isn't a 3/4 ton truck. Fuck that VW shit. MB and...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

So this is FWD 1.6 turbo diesel, the Escape was 2.0 turbo AWD. Off the line to about 50mph, I'd say they are about the same, the turbo diesel has gobs of torque. 240ish, but only 136 or so hp. The...

Re: FRF Watercooler/BS Thread 2017

Ah, didn't misplace it. Never actually got it. Was in a hurry to leave the dealership so my wife could get to work.

Not a big deal, I'm the lead tech at the dealership we bought it from.
