All the new electronic chit is especially bullchit, that and of course the EPA mandated horsechit.

I don't have the money or need for a new pickup in the first place but EVERYONE I have talked to hates the traction control.

I guess it resets itself to 'on' every time the pickup is started?

You forget to disable and get stuck kind of deal.



Oh, and whatever you do don't dump the urea in your fuel tank and cycle it through the engine(when it's cold outside, it'll freeze and crack all your chit...).

Couple horror stories at the Ford garage about that little mix up. Parts manager told me enough people have done it that Ford now makes a repair kit.

About a $10k repair with labor.



Just got my wife's Explorer back from the shop. Fancy touch screen went dead after an update. Still drivable but damn they have over 'engineered' these new vehicles. I don't want a god damn smart phone style control to run the frikken heater for Christ's sake!
(rant over......grin)


I plan on driving my '03 6.0 F350 until it literally dies.

4 new injectors in the clunker this Fall and it once again has balls.
