I guess it will depend on whether I can pick up another 10+ year old high mileage truck for less than $5k or just put a new crate engine and rebuilt transmission into the one I have. I will cross that bridge when I get there.

Honest Hamid condones stealing Walmart carts, I'd proceed with utmost caution.Quote:

Having to keep the vehicle longer than 7+ years is nice, but I also need to change parts.
Just received 9qt of 10w60 from walmart (on sale).
The oil filter arrived as well.
The cam shaft magnet and thermostat for my mothers vehicle. My mom is coming over on Friday, and I will be fixing her vehicle.
Photo will be uploaded on purchase thread.
My 2000 Ford Expedition just went over 260K miles. All original except the radiator cause the Ford dealer messed it up and had to put in a new one at 120K. Every few years I put tires on it and they are worth more than the truck. Oil changed every 5K to 6K. It uses oil so it gets topped off between changes.
I always have had great service for my Fords.
My current company truck is a Ford. Not sure what year. Maybe a 2014? It?s going to roll over 260,000 soon and it doesn?t make me nervous to take it in long road trips. Change the oil religiously whenever the ?oil change required? message pops. It came on about two weeks ago but I?ve been busy running back and forth to Cheyenne so I haven?t had time to deal with it. The ?change oil soon? reminder seems to come on around 8K to 10K miles and if you ignore that for a couple of weeks you get the ?oil change required? message.
May be a stupid question but are these charging stations universal? If I bought a new Porsche Taycan could I charge it at a tesla station or only at home?
I had seriously considered a tesla before I bought my car but I had "range anxiety" even on the test drive. Does this get better over time? Also I have a deep connection with the sounds of my exhaust and engine (stock) and I'm holding on to that with both hands but sometimes wonder if that goes away too.
Not a stupid question at all. These are the types of posts I hope to bring out from more people because if you have the question I'm sure others do too. Many think they know the answer to some of these sorts of questions but often times are either wrong or outdated so I'm happy to address stuff exactly like this.Quote:

Porsche has decided to make their own network so unless they produced adapters to use on public chargers and regular outlets (like Tesla does) you'll be stuck with the handful of charge points they have on their own network.
It does get better with time once you realize what the limitations are and work within those. No different than any other vehicle for that matter it's just different sets of limitations.
Yeah, the enjoyment of those noises subsides as well. Whenever I'm in an ICE car now I immediately notice how loud, ratty and annoying it is. There's just something about the quiet smoothness of EVs that luxury ICE vehicle manufacturers have spent a LOT of money trying to attain that just comes naturally to them.
Thanks for the reply.... I don't think I'm ready (or the network is ready) to purchase electric yet but I'd like to be informed when it is. Although that Fisker is an interesting car...hmm
Thoughts on range anxiety?
There is an electric car thread.
That way --->
<----- Wait, its that way
The EV thread is charging. It's not going anywhere right now. :D
Fisker? Yeah that was a really interesting idea/concept until they all burn to the ground. Sounds like you need to do some more CURRENT research. ;-)Quote:

No reason for posting this really...
Seating position? That's awesome.
Replace a water pump in one of those, there's other seating choices.
no reason for this post either, just saying the water pump replacement sucks ass.
Can that be done from the very comfy driver's seat?Quote:

I'm sure something can be pumped while you're in the front seat. Providing you're not doing it in the HOV laneQuote:

It is, but the JDM version is a bit more interesting (for me) because its RHD.Quote:

At least they use 0w-40 mobil1 oil.
when someone decide to buy cpo, make sure the brake pad and rotor is good to go.
Yes....with a really fat wallet and a NASCAR type group of mechanics.Quote:

I don't know how I deleted my post, really. Glad you got a copy Mr. Prena : )
For a second, I believed you were secret power mod here.Quote:

The r34...that's different. It's almost like the new one shouldn't have been called a GTR in fear of insulting the last one.
Or locked both threads ;)Quote:
