    Ford recalls 850k vehicles: Mexico supplier fuel pump mishaps

    Irrelevant to what they are for. Every brand must replace labels when they are incorrect. The sheer number is what is so crazy to me. I know they are aware and have been trying to fix this for some time and that is what is so shocking; that they can't figure out why it's happening. How are so...

    Ford recalls 850k vehicles: Mexico supplier fuel pump mishaps

    Ford announced a recall?---yawn. I get that email from NHTSA every Monday and start scrolling hoping not to see a Ford product, but alas, I'm not sure that Monday will ever arrive.......

    Hurricane engine has no dipstick

    Tim, you've been dipstick-less now for a while. What's the feeling? Make you nervous? Do you check the screen often?

    Plastic upper control arms on 5th gen and newer (2019+)

    I wouldn't sweat it unless you are getting something really extreme. No different than exceeding the range a metal upper. Of course, when you go up, you can upgrade everything, so durability is equal.

    Ram Customer Care Response to 0w20 Oil Question

    Bottomline, no engineer will give an opinion. They will test and provide data. That's the world they live in, and I respect that. As soon as one says one thing, then another actually tests it to prove it. As Tim has told us about the gazillions of hours and simulated miles they put these...

    Plastic upper control arms on 5th gen and newer (2019+)

    This. Sure, you could put each one in a vice to see what breaks first but that isn't how they are used so who cares? All one could do is put a plastic one on one side and metal on the other and drive a 100K miles to see if either break. No? Keep driving, we'll wait..... Really, the only true...

    Can we stop using Car Complaints dot com for illustration for newer models

    I have a CR sub, feel free to ask if you want me to look something up.

    Plastic upper control arms on 5th gen and newer (2019+)

    The funniest part of this video are all the comments about how "this will be a complete failure" and "it will never work!". I think they really didn't pay attention to the part about being done since 2019 with no issues.

    Ford recalls just keep coming in 2025

    I think because, when they look at the individual vehicles, they are fine. It's just that as a whole brand, it's a lot of recalls. Personally, right now, the only brand I would hesitate with is GM. Sorry, but they just don't inspire a lot of confidence lately. I wanted a Canyon so bad but since...

    New 2026 Ram truck warranty raises to 10 years, 100k miles

    Honestly I preferred the dial over the console. The column wasn't bad either. It just doesn't matter to me because whatever it is, you get used to and it becomes muscle memory.

    Ford recalls just keep coming in 2025

    Just curious, how many weeks in a row of releasing recalls has it been for them? Gotta be close to a record. I don't dislike them but damn.

    New 2026 Ram truck warranty raises to 10 years, 100k miles

    Are you kidding? That tranny was a huge upgrade from the previous version.

    New 2026 Ram truck warranty raises to 10 years, 100k miles

    Yeah, they did have the Lifetime but that was restricted to original owner and required maintenance checks every 5 years. I was just curious about standard warranty.

    American-Made Index 2025: How American is your truck?

    Yep. And a new supplier shows up to offer Ford/GM/Ram the same part for lower cost. Happens every day. I was curious about it, so I went and checked my window sticker from my 2011 Ram. It states 70% of it came from the US or Canada. Unfortunately, they didn't separate it back then.

    New 2026 Ram truck warranty raises to 10 years, 100k miles

    Just curious, did the others change theirs when Dodge switched to 7/70 in the 2000's? And Ram had a 5/100 in 2010, then it fell back to the 5/60 like the rest. Never thought about it but it looks like they bounced around a lot. Did GM or Ford ever change theirs?

    We now know the minimum for transmission fluid life.

    So, it was 70K miles before?....huh. Greatly improved I see.

    The tariffs happened!

    What they do and where they do it doesn't bother me at all. It's a worldwide economy that has Milwaukee tools made in China. We've seen plenty of this before but honestly, it just doesn't mean much. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if they do it, they'll do it purely for the money...

    The tariffs happened!

    Great. That'll just be a reason to raise prices again. No benefit in it when they can't fill their factory jobs now. I'm guessing they'll drag it out until the next election.

    Ram race truck unveiled for NASCAR CRAFTSMAN series return

    Looked fine to me. I think your look is from doing it while sitting in the driver's seat. In front of a laptop with good lighting, the monitor, etc., everyone looks more energetic. I think it worked well that you were doing all the Ram videos while sitting in a Ram though.
