Anyone else have a 3.0 Powerstroke?

This is a company provided vehicle. Just curious how many people on here have one. I know they weren’t made long. This was a trip I had to take today in it. Even with 240,000 miles on it, it drives great. I really like it. I’ve had it since 210,000. It has had a transmission replacement at 160,000, and it goes in for a recall next week, possibly another transmission. Apparently, the replacement trans was a re-man and there is a chance it was built without the T-10 bearing.

I guess I’m part of the club

I have an almost new ms271, only 5 tanks ran through it, E0 89 mixed with Amsoil Sabre Synthetic 45ish to 1(I always stop my mix short of 1 gallon, as I only mix up 1 gallon at a time). Even with cracking the fuel cap, it’s extremely hard to start back when it’s hot. Any suggestions?

I soaked my string in water for 25 hours but this is how it always seems to break.

I always wrap it with no twists and make sure it lays on top and doesn’t get buried. Somehow it always seems to get buried and break. It’s extremely frustrating having to take the trimmer head apart more than 3 times when I’m just trying to do my yard. Any suggestions? This is the Stihl string but I’m starting to question it. Might switch to husqvarna titanium x pro and see if the same thing happens.

What are some well maintained forest roads in Pisgah National Forest for a leisurely ride in a stock 4x4 150?

I’m hoping this is a good place to ask. I’ll be in the area of PNF for thanksgiving. Looking to spend some time with my family who are not big hikers, by riding some forest service roads (we love riding dirt roads in the south GA). I found a few on google, just wanted to see what other had to say. Picture of my bone stock truck, I do have ridge grapplers on it.

Went to the season 1 house today

We vacation about an hour east of PCB, so we usually take the day with bad weather and come over to Pineapple Willy’s. We walked down the public beach access and saw the table were Gus would cry.

To level and 35s, or to not level and 35s? That is the question.

Been cruising the Florida pan handle on vacation and filled up today. Now I know this is not the exact miles I’ll get out of the tank, but it is nice having a truck that’s not a total gas guzzler like the last ones I’ve had. 3.5 EB max tow with 36 gallon tank

1 year old friendly hikes?

As the title states, looking for “hikes” or places to go with scenic views with my wife and 1 year old daughter in November. I grew up going to Blowing Rock every year as a kid, however, my wife couldn’t care less for the mountains. I don’t mind driving 2 hours tops, but no more. We are thinking about Clingmans Dome, but that might be a bit much for a 1 year old. What say you?

Anyone know what’s going on with Tricks BBQ?

I know they moved from the original location on bull to Bay Street. However, for a while they were closed but have reopened under “The Pit Stop” and their hours and what days they’re open seem to be inconsistent. As Tricks, they always had a line out the door, and if you weren’t in line by 10:50 AM then you were gonna be waiting a while. Now, under The Pit Stop, there is hardly anyone there. If I’m in the area and they’re open I’ll stop by for a medium combo with tater salad, and their prices cannot be beat for the amount of food you get. I just hate to see a Savannah icon fade away.

New to me Saffire

Step father in law gave me this. He purchases this unit used while he was back and forth at my mother in laws house and his house so needed a grill at MIL’s. Well they’re married now and his BGE is there so this came home with me. Can’t wait to try a pork shoulder out on it, but tonight I’m just grilling chicken.

For someone who has never polished a car, is the kit pictured a good starting point?

If it’s not, please drop what you would use. Also, I’ve got some white road paint splatter on my truck, is there any other steps to take to get that off? Besides washing it. Just your typical light swirl marks from car washes and some oxidized paint around the bottom where the tire throws road grime.

When using wine with cooking, I’ve always been told it doesn’t have to be expensive, but can still be good. As someone who doesn’t know anything about wines, what are some white and red wines you would use to cook with?

My new 21 XLT 3.5

Say what you will about it being an xlt, this thing is loaded minus leather, sunroof, and sliding rear window. Had for a few weeks now and love it. Also, the Antimatter blue kicks ass, I’ve gotten some compliments on it.

Wanted to see how much a 2”/2.5” leveling kit with 295/70/18 tires are effecting your fuel economy. Last 3 f150s I’ve had had been leveled with 305/65/18 tires However, I’m not sure if I want to sacrifice roughly 650 miles to the tank. I bought this truck for the “family vehicle” and my 13 3.5 about had enough.

How to check for oil consumption issues at test drive?

Im going to test drive a 21 F150 XLT with 103,000 miles. It was brought to my attention that oil consumption is common problem, typically showing up at lower mileage.

I’m curious if there are any things I can check for that would be a good indicator of said oil consumption issues. Nothing shows up on the car fax indicating this, with regular oil changes and scheduled maintenance.

How hard of a job is an interior detail on a potential new truck?

Just curious, for someone who details for a living does this look like a very labor intensive job?

Super excited for it, but not super familiar with the truck. Was hoping I could get some insight on it as far as upgrades that will benefit and upgrades that are unnecessary. I also realize this isn’t a total basher, that’s what the slash is for. Not sure if I want the method or heat wave version. I like the looks of the king body the best.
