I don't understand this ZOMG Ford ruined the Mustang name shit surrounding the Mach E, when the Mustang II existed in this universe as well. For most of the Mustang's production it's been a POS, a few bright spots here and there, but overall they average out to a POS.
Mach E is a blob SUV, just like the Edge, which is what it would replace in my household. As far as blobs go, it's not a bad blob.
I kinda dig those, but every Kia dealer I've been in has been a hilariously bad experience, can't bring myself to consider one until they get their dealer network sorted out. They'll probably be forced to drop their pricing as well, rising tide sinks all ships or something like that

a) that's a Tesla issue, not the owner
b) I've said it before and I'll say it again, shoddy workmanship in building a car is not only a Tesla issue. From today's news: https://www.cbc.ca/news/gopublic/hyundai-fire-servicing-sonata-1.6723164
owner buys a tesla, owner failed the IQ test
now make a table with two columns, Hyundai failures since 2012, and tesla failures since 2012. Then work out the percentage of total sold of each.
In fact do that with every car company

and from this rational analysis one must conclude at day's end, as I did, that the Toyota Land Cruiser is the only choice

I’m really happy with my new Lincoln aviator. Car is extremely quiet, smooth and fast. Does great in snow but gets horrible mileage. Love the piano key shifting and buttons. That’s my 3000 mile report. Going to do an oil change soon, has a paper filter in a reusable canister like the old school stuff.
Spin on bypass filters are bullshit.

Is that home to an earlier revision of the engine block which just let go in your family truckster?
I believe that it is. And for the record - it's the *heads* that are going. Valve(s) specifically...
What year f150?I believe that it is. And for the record - it's the *heads* that are going. Valve(s) specifically...
Fox body Mustang would have had a pushrod 302, the modular motor didn't start until the SN94. Early Modulars were, uh, questionable. The new ones however hold stupid amounts of power, like built race motor levels of power are possible on a stock engine with stock heads.
2014, but yeah - it's a "modern" Coyote engine. With at least 1 bad intake valve... and I'd wager more that would be close.
That thing is brutally fast. And the track conditions look not even prime in this video.
Yeah, GT racing is very enjoyable. I prefer it over F1 for some years now.
Not that it makes you feel better, but the Coyote is generally a pretty decent engine. If the truck's in decent shape, it's probably worth the few grand to swap heads and keep the truck.
The main issue is that the motor needs to be pulled, apparently, to get at the heads. If all this could be done without removing the motor, I might get away with a "few grand" to get reman'd heads installed.
Since pulling the whole goddam thing is going to be $$$$, I'm inclined to put in a whole new motor for a few $$ more. Although availability of factory 5.0l Ford crate motors is also an issue.
The thing still runs, albeit a bit rough when it's cold, so I think we'll drag it out for awhile until (maybe) motor-availability gets better... or maybe I'll just warm it up, clear the CEL, and trade it in some afternoon.
Diagram would be better if they were to scale also.
Not only that but the inclusion of the hood visually wasn't part of the original data. Misleading, although crew cabs certainly are predominant now.

There is a small office I have walked by almost every day for six years. Just noticed each desk has a phone, phonebook, calculator, and typewriter. WTF. Probably government issue.

Realistically the closest thing to an elcamino is an early 2000s tacoma/frontier/s-10/ranger thing
edit: whoa those things are huge! That's like one of those dumbass tesla trucks

This and this. It's like a mid-size SUV with additional open seating for your MIL.
kinda?
That'd also be an AWD with a 60/40 split, not a proper 4wd.
