Spacers no different than using a deeper dish wheel. The geometry is the same. Either would be a little harder on your truck but I’ve used them for decades with no ill affect.

Larger tires will reduce mpgs.

Many trucks have eight or 10 speed transmission nowadays so twice the gears equals half the RPM change compared to a four speed.

It’s a model year.

I thought this was interesting. One is basically a car and the other is a truck but these guys understood that doing the comparison. Pricing is in Canadian dollars.

Heavier tires hurt your performance almost as much as larger diameter. If you can stay away from an LT and get something aggressive and lighter with good quality that’s what I would do.

As long as those fire trucks are always brought up to full temperature whenever they get started, anything you use and change annually will be more than fine. Trouble can start with any vehicle if you start it up and turn it off immediately to move it out of the garage or the fire house as an...

My wife has the 2.3 eco-boost in her very heavy Explorer and I have been very impressed by the power, responsiveness, and fuel mileage. My neighbor test drove one of the new Rangers and he didn’t like it because the throttle was so touchy. I laughed at him and told him it was because he was used...

Now is a great time to sell vehicles but it is a terrible time to buy them because the prices are through the roof. I would say though that if you end up getting an F150 and you do any towing at all you should get one of the two Ecoboost engines because they will out pull any V-8 from any...

We have them on several vehicles and have never had an issue with any of them.

David’s Rally Wheels on line.

Unsprung weight of tires and wheels make a difference as well but your weight probably didn’t change much. As said above the extreme change in tire diameter is killing your performance.

I guess I need a butt kicking because my ‘94 F-250 still has the original coolant in it. The overflow tank is a little cloudy. The truck only has 95k miles on it but it sounds like time is the factor, not mileage. What is the proper procedure for a full flush and fill?

When I buy new I always order them exactly how I want them. I pay $100 over dealer invoice minus all the incentives available. It usually comes out to about 20-25% off sticker depending on the vehicle. If your dealer won’t do that, find a different dealer. Wait until June and you’ll get all the...

Fuel mileage is all about driving conditions and how you drive the vehicle. I have a 2019 F-150 with the 2.7 eco-boost and it will run in the high 20s on flat 2 Lane Highway‘s at 60 mph all day long. It will also get 10 miles per gallon if I’m towing a 7000 pound trailer with it. It’s a tiny...

I have 4 spotlight cams and a Ring doorbell with unlimited recording and don’t pay anything for service? What does the $100/year get you?

We have ring cameras and they are unbelievably clear and easy to use and you have unlimited recording ability for free. Also, if neighbors have the ring system you can link up and be notified if there’s problems in the area. You can also link many devices to the ring system and get to all of the...

Tachs were an ala carte option years ago. Most didn’t have the sense to check the box when ordering back in the day.

There should be no hot wire to that tail light unless the lights are on as long as the original wiring harness is unmolested. The wiring harness usually runs down the drivers side so if there’s a hot wire on the passenger side the wire that feeds it from the drivers side would also be hot...
