Cheaper for the suppliers. Actually makes a better long term product. Sucks waiting on it to finish tho. How heavy they getting with it? We ran 20% in most of our stuff unless ordered otherwise.

[dchawk81]

Gotta lean on my sales guy a bit. The RR tire (now the RF) tire is cupped which means the ass is or was out of alignment. They need to check it and line it up so I don't chew through the ones that are now on the back. The RR (now RF) tire should work itself out but in the meantime that back one could be getting messed up.

----------

The sales guy knows I'm going to be looking for a truck sometime in the near-ish future so I used that as my leverage in a completely un-subtle way.

Literally I said "treat me well now and that truck I buy has a better chance of being off you."

Besides it's two days old in my life. And only 2 years old in its own. It shouldn't have been sold to me this way. Period.

Oh hahaha I've been sold worse. Gotta check it all out before signing

The brake pads on the Z could not have passed "inspection"....i had to replace them simply from a safety standpoint

Besides I also paid for a 100k warranty and I need to use this to make sure they stay honest.

I would say in the 35% range. U know. It depends on what it is. If it's flat work. It's all ash. If it's for a bridge base. It's normal.

Coke trick? You can put a 2 liter of Coke in a "hot" load of ready mix concrete and the sugars in it will retard (slow down) the set of the concrete to give you more time to work with it.

Hot load lol. Sounds funny but that's what people call it. Means the Crete has been in the truck a long time. And has begun its process. Well. Technically it starts when it leaves the plant. Right dan? Hot load is the Crete is baking in that truck. The sugar slows down the hardening process. When you've done it long enough. U k ow when it's time to do that. Concrete waits for no man So u kinda Gota figure that out fast lol

This is why I don't trust dealerships.

[BFEB]

What do you mean by a hot truck? One that the cement only has a short time before its not workable anymore? Basically concrete has a "shelf life" from the time it's batched (first mixed) there is only an hour to maybe two that it'll remain in its plastic state (wet and workable) It's pretty much a ticking time bomb from the moment that the cement and water mix together. It starts a process called hydration and those ingredients will creat a lot of heat and that's what gets the water to "go away" That's why it's called hot. If you were to take a bucket of wet concrete and put your hand in it throughout the hydration process you would literally come out with 3rd degree burns cause the chemical reaction creates that much heat. So the term hot is actually a literal term.

Try to get them from a place like Cabela's (if yoos guys have those where you are) so if they don't fit well, you can return them and try Husky Liners (pretty much the same deal as Weathertech....custom fit for your specific vehicle). I bought Weathertechs for my '07 F-150, and they fit like Hell....huge gaps along the sides next to the console. Returned them for the Huskys and they fit perfectly. Not sure why the WT's fit so poorly as they fit great in my old JEEP. No biggie....horse a piece.

[dchawk81]

Nice. What was in the left lane?

[FX4Life]

Was hoping for 13.5

Then I get there and if you run 13.99 or faster you gotta wear a helmet. I didn't have a damn helmet. They don't rent any. I had no friends there.
So I tried to stay above it on my first run but went a tad to fast
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/02/055a18348308c9c23c15d582554c940c.jpg
Finally found a helmet to borrow and ran again, 45 minutes after first run.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/02/3f32b64c7da3617b5d826888fd935932.jpg
Ran again and jumped the tree :(
Hot lapped again 20 minutes later and got the best run! 13.285. R/T .723

Let it cool down for a bit then ran again. Lined up next to a 5.0....
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10/02/fed82d79bbc1314d5bc3c94c83faf48f.jpg
And I jumped the tree again -__- **** me.

Left after that cuz my poor pups at home. Drag strip was 2 hours away. They're going til 1 am. There was drifting too.

----------


Nice. What was in the left lane?
Don't remember. But gf took lots of pics so I can probably figure it out later

----------

Oh also full disclosure....took spare tire out before I left home haha if I'd had more time I'd have taken the rear seats out too

----------

Hahaha my first run was my best r/t. .467

[dchawk81]

That's awesome. My OBDII app can time stuff like that based on GPS. I need to see what the hatch will do. Probably won't be as precise as a strip but still.

[Ford Fan#1]

My fastest time. Right lane sweet! With launch control?

My fastest time. Right lane Impressive. Sleeping at the light, but great 60' for a "stock" suv

There is a cabelas right outside carlile. I forget the town. But it's the exit before. Isn't that around u? Not that it matters now just sayin

5Star tuned.....

There's one on 78 , in Hamburg P.A . I make a day trip with a few friends there every year before hunting season. There's one closer to me in CT. , but it's smaller , doesn't have everything, and is not as cool. I'll be going over the next two weeks.

We're finally getting a Bass Pro Shop here. Hopefully they will give Gander and Cabela's some competition. I have a feeling it will be spendy, though, as they are building it as a huge addition to the Mall Of America (Mecca for women's shoes......every female must make one trip in her lifetime), and everything at MOA is at least 10% more expensive than everywhere else.

oh. No it's just the angle. They are different sizes.. Eventhough it's been like 4 hours my pinky is still bleeding. ( not very bad though ) dude. Go to the ER

If the bleeding hasn't stopped in 4 hours you hit a vessel. Get to the ER get it treated and get stitches. Unless you want to risk an infection and lose the finger

dude. Go to the ER If the bleeding hasn't stopped in 4 hours you hit a vessel. Get to the ER get it treated and get stitches. Unless you want to risk an infection and lose the finger ... Oh.. Well I'll check and see if it's still bleeding.. Hopefully it's not.. Nobody else is home. My mom just got home and I showed her. And she said they can't stitch it. And that if it's the worst one I will be fine.

[Ragnar]

Too bad you are underage....I'd suggest 3 fingers of Jack with a beer chase.

I suppose 3 Flintstones and a Kool-Aid chase will have to do.:)

As others have said.....wear gloves. This first one is free, and you can see how easy and fast it is to cut yorself pretty deeply. It's all fun and games until you hit a tendon.

The fact that there is metal in your power steering reservoir is very bad...I think it's time you changed the pump and flushed the whole system before a piece of metal shreds through one of the lines and you lose your power steering.

The ones on the front now have good tread but are flat spotted because the rear end either is or was out of alignment and the ones that are on the back now are basically almost bald because they had never been rotated.

My fault for not picking up on it before I made the purchase but they're going to align it for warranty

[Jersey_Joe]

U were to excited lol

[anaheim_drew]

[dchawk81]

I couldn't tell on those roads.

----------

As far as the tread depth goes, I looked at the rear ones and it was nice and deep and I just took it for granted that the front ones looked the same when they didn't.

----------

But yeah, I'll be honest and say I didn't actually scrutinize it that close being a 2014. I didn't figure it would need it.

Question. U ever take mbc out of state to show? Besides sema? Just curious

[Ford Fan#1]

Had every bolt but the top one out of the rear differential. Then my dad showed up and said it has to cure for 24 hours... I read it and it does. You've got to be kidding. Only a few drops leaked. So back together it goes.. Sadly

There is talk of a kick @$$ truck show being planned If it is true id like to represent the nation of course. Maybe get some of y'all to come too

Haha I know a guy that had a giant F-450 and it was all red white and blue ( flag ) with a bald eagle and everything. He said the paint job costed $30,000.. I was up to the bottom of the front bumper too..

$25k paint job

Wth. My trucks tag on the rear differential says 75w-90? But the manual and all of the other trucks say 75w-140? I used the 75w-90 in the front and the 75w-140 for the back?

[dchawk81]

75W-90 front and 75W-140 rear here too. I didn't look at the tag.

[Ford Fan#1]

75W-90 front and 75W-140 rear here too. I didn't look at the tag. huh. I just thought it was confusing. And I looked at the shocks. The front are factory and the backs aren't. And the pinion seal is seeping. Fun..

They can't patch a run flat. They can't sell me 1 or even 2.
These are $602 each. ....

[anaheim_drew]

So they said you have to buy 4?

[FX4Life]

So they said you have to buy 4?
Yep. No biggie tho I'm not going with same tires. Non run flats are about $200 each.
I have less than 6k on these and I'm at 5/32.

----------

It's ridiculous that you buy a tire new it has a warranty. ...unless it's on a brand new car you bought....wtf

I doubt srt hotline would have any different response as far as free replacement

Yeah for real. My ******* didn't check the tires on the Focus close enough so I have to turn around a week after buying the car and spend on a new set.

Oh well. Live & learn: 2014 is newer but it still isn't new (enough to not be thorough).

----------

The upside is I'll be riding on tires of my own choosing instead of Ford's factory poop.

Yeah tires is first thing I look at when used car shopping lol

At least you had the $$$.

They say if I pull the screw out the tire will seal itself. I'll screw it out tomorrow and see. Still getting tires tho. These will be **** in snow

[dchawk81]

This is my first purchase of something so new and in my naive little mind it wasn't old enough to have bad anything. Usually I buy stuff so old it goes straight in for new rubber. Lol.

But yeah it's a life lesson. Haha.

[FX4Life]

Actually I'm not sure if they are the zero...I'll look tomorrow.

[dchawk81]

They've given me some lucrative runs lately at work and I've got another one tonight so I can afford it all now more than ever.

In a sick kinda way I'm glad because I really didn't care for those Coopers. This gives me a handy excuse.

Good to learn at this stage. I'm so glad I was able to keep that used srt for a week.

I almost made a $61k mistake

[dchawk81]

I still wouldn't want to pay the new car premium on the Focus. I feel like this should just be some basic maintenance bugs and I'll be solid for a while. Oil and everything looks good and it doesn't appear to have any major issues.

[Ford Fan#1]

Holy crap. My fingers have healed A LOT in 3 days. Hell. A day after they felt normal besides the weight of the wrapping.

But for $3000 premium over a beat on SRT....
The used one is still sitting

How much did you save over new?

[dchawk81]

As close as I could spec a 2016 like this 2014, it was around 8-10k less. And on this kind of car we're talking about paying a little over half the price of new. Base price is just under $19,000 and it has about $5,000-6,000 of add ons like the appearance package, traction control/ABS/torque vectoring, 6 speed auto, moon roof, automatic lights, interior lighting group, etc. It's got some **** on it. Lol.

----------

Ford cranks out so many of these that they drop like a rock. Focuses are everywhere. Plus it had a *high* 33k on the ticker already. So there was a little deduction for that.

[FX4Life]

Focii*

[dchawk81]

Focuses. It's not like triangles are called isoscelii. [emoji14]

I'm thinking about Magnaflow. I like the MPGs it opened up on the Navigator. But I hate to spend the money when there's nothing wrong with the exhaust on it already...it isn't rusted out or anything.

I never had either on the strip. But yeah. It's faster. 0-60 on my Z and truck was around 6 seconds. 4.5 is my best in the srt.

Never had a monthly car payment as high as yours.

[dchawk81]

Never had rent as high as his car payment.

[emoji1]

[FX4Life]

YOLO or some crap like that

----------

I don't regret it I freaking love it. That being said....I'd never pay this payment if it was all on me

[anaheim_drew]

I hate any type of payments

[dchawk81]

I used to be anti-payment. Then I developed an even stronger anti-carwontstart.

[anaheim_drew]

I would have paid cash for your car.

----------


I used to be anti-payment. Then I developed an even stronger anti-carwontstart.
Anti-payment comes from paying things off early thus not having a payment. Planning for the future son..

[dchawk81]

Some of us don't make THAT much...

----------

So yeah way to be an ******* and make a guy feel like nothing.

----------

And don't call me "son."

I'm not 15 and I'm not your son. I'm working my ass off and just happen to not be as wealthy as you.

[anaheim_drew]

The last thing I was trying to do was put you down and make you feel like nothing. For that I am sorry Don. I thought you were joking which is why I said son. When you got your new job, i said congrats, when you were thinking about a car I said you need a car to get to work. If you feel you are working your ass off, good welcome to my world. I put in long hours in the office, at home and in the field so I could achieve things and take care of my family. So if you have a problem with that, rub it in your chest and deal with it

[dchawk81]

The luxury of saving for a car comes from already having a reliable one. So that whole "planning ahead" barb with "son" thrown on the end as if it was a scolding along with sage advice made it sound like I missed my chance to save up...as if I was being a wasteful teenager blowing his allowance on video games. As if you're a superior person for having 15k just sitting to be spent on a car.

I don't appreciate being treated that way.

I don't care how hard you work anymore than you care how hard I work, but you seem to think we can all make as much as you by working harder. As if not making as much as you means we're not working hard at all.

[anaheim_drew]

Planning ahead has to do with my wife and I both being over the age of 50. Planning ahead has to do with my wife having Lupus. This year I sold my hot rod for nice amount. Hence cash money for a car. Think what you want

[Ford Fan#1]

So yesterday when my dad showed up when me and my brother was about to break the seal on the rear differential ( thank god he did ) and when he started his truck ( 2003 F-150 XLT 5.4 ) Unknown tick on startup when engine is cold. - YouTube (http://youtu.be/IaIvItiGDDA) ( the unique trition startup ) his took half the time and didn't sound right at all.. It wanted to die. And sounded VERY. Weak. Is his starter going out or does his motor have low compression???? If I would guess it would be compression.. He's put 7 quarts of oil in it since 60,000 miles.. It has around 247,000+ on it now.

[dchawk81]

I don't hear anything?

[Ford Fan#1]

I don't hear anything? well. That's a example of what it should sound like ( of my truck ) but my dad's truck took half the time to start and when it did it was struggling not to die. / stall out. I'll try to get a video of it starting. But I never hear it run. That was the first time in forever since I've heard it start

[dchawk81]

So make a video of that. What it SHOULD sound like doesn't help us.

[Ford Fan#1]

So make a video of that. What it SHOULD sound like doesn't help us. yeah. I'll get a video when I can

[DWC (donewithchevy )]

Sometimes you really confuse me kiddo .

Congrats on all the hard work you been puttin in on your truck lately. I'm not sure it's worth all the $$$ you guys are throwing at it, but it'll be a learning experience for you both. .................. In more ways than one .
