Ben, very happy for you and I love the stance on the truck, the color better shows off the lines on the truck compared to blues and reds. One observation at time stamp 1:14, the shift boot material almost appears to be cracking. Could be just the optics and it is folding but returns to form...

Great link, my Tahoe is in the shop fora a leaking oil pan gasket seal, I will ask them about the replaceable VLOM filter and the AFM oil pressure relief valve.

Great engine, but the starter location in the valley of the "V" and under the intake manifold is a bear, especially with the secondary air injection system:

Woohoo, this will be some great content!

I promise, scouts honor...Whoops, I wasn't ever a Boy Scout. Yeah, port injection only on that Tundra and the Ford Tech in the video I linked showed a port only engine being very clean. I can imagine this may have happened in the days after PCVs were mandated (1960s) and detergent gasoline...

It's hard these days, but improving at work. The amount of e-mails and TEAMS messages inflamed so many people back in the COVD days because the conversational tone was gone, leading to offenses never intended. Now, we are back to where we can talk to team members, our peers and the higher ups...

I doubt it, here is Ford's press release back in the day for the 2nd Gen EcoBoost: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/05/03/2017-ford-f150-more-torque-better-boost.html And here is something from a Toyota Dealer using Toyota B-roll and talking points for the D4-S port...

To your earlier point Tim, I work with engineers all the time and the look is common; a lot of times it is because I am bringing up something they didn't think of already or it's something I mention that was documented in the Systems Engineering Plan two versions ago and I must have missed the...

Tim, Yeah remember that video and his discussion and linked back to it on you tube where top commenters had the same concern as I do and which wasn't addressed: "I think the biggest problem is still not addressed, that is carbon buildup in the intake valves. It’s my understanding that carbon/...

Just a suggestion to possibly help the "durability" of the episode: Can you segment topics into chapters to aid finding particular bits of information, i.e. Chapter 1, Why Inline Six, Chapter 2, Durability, etc. As these trucks come into inventory, I'm sure the inevitable back and forth at...

Wow, Out of the Park on it. Glad you asked about Thermal Management, AKA, cooling, which was my first big question. Great detail on the low temperature circuit and the problem of turbo coking after long trips and drivers not letting the engine run after a long trip to allow oil exchange...

Given the thumbnail title, figure this would cover the last few minutes...It is so bad, it is good.

You Too!, Mucky here, but we will make it!

What is the premiere feature? On this forum, YT or the website?

Man, enjoy those days. Mine is already in his 30s and out in your neck of the woods in the city...Moving back East soon.

Well, cleaning out the garage may not be fun in itself but the music keeping you going makes it better as you say...Plus so satysfying in the end when it looks great. I will take the compliment, thanks, but think it is my nature to be a bit contrarian (I think I actually used the word in a...

Message boards come and go...Have some Beta fun this weekend.

Thanks for the reply. Not sure what context the statement "times have changed a lot since 2021 mid-pandemic" is being used; technology of MRNA vaccines maybe, but given the time lines involved in developing propulsion needing articles like aircraft and land vehicles, it is isn't that long...
