Difference between an AMT and an automatic. Automatic has a lock up torque converter. AMT utilizes a clutch and if you look inside, it’s a manual.

Engine, transmission, some settings. Saves the owner or operator from sitting around a dealership waiting to get in the shop.

We’re running Automated Manuals. They have clutches and transmission modules and are programmed for economy. No clutch pedal. Push a buttons or twist a switch, truck does the rest. They’re programed to run between 62-68 mph and get 7-7.5 mpg. Empty or dead heading about 10+. 20 years ago...

The reason diesels seem better suited for turbos is because they are built stronger in the first place. Diesels are compression fired, no spark plugs. They run much higher compression ratios, consequently blocks, cranks etc must be capable. Then add the turbo. For many years diesel trucks...

In her 70’s she could still out sing and out perform any of the over produced pandered to twinkies cluttering up the airwaves & tv’s today. 50 years from now, they won’t make the trivia pursuit deck, but we’ll still hear Proud Mary and Simply The Best. she sure was.

Appearance wise-ehhh. Take some getting used to I suppose but in reality i spend more time looking around the interior and out the windshield than gazing at it. As long as there’s a 4 door, long bed and they maintain the fit and finish, fine. Only have 95k on my ‘17 so no hurry to roll out but...

When are these going into production? Wasn’t planning to get out of my ‘17, but not a fan of the ‘24 so far.

Just got back from another trip. 3,636 miles door to door. Snow, rain, mud, and a little sun. Thank God for the ceramic coating I put on a few years ago. Quick wash when I got home between showers, parked it in the garage and it drip dried. No water spots. Hit the White Buffalo with my...

I have 2 highly modified Sunbeam Alpines. Started out as 1.7 liter 4 cylinder cars. I installed Ford 2.8 V6’s with 5 speed trans. You may have heard of the Sunbeam Tiger that Carroll Shelby installed 260ci and later 289ci Ford V8’s. Couldn’t afford one of them.

Took forever

I hear there a a few long stretches of road in Texas. From ‘76 thru 79, I covered 5 states and frequently found myself driving between Dallas and Midland at night. There was this dj broadcasting from the Panhandle and about midnight every night he’d play “Miles and Miles of Texas”…. “For all...

Just got back from a 3636 mile trip. Tried something new. Long stints behind the wheel can produce drowsiness. Having recently had a full knee replacement I had some exercise bands sitting around. Looped 2 around my legs before getting in the cab. About every 20 minutes I did about three...

You should be able to get a firm price.

? Makes no sense. Dealer I worked with told me to go online and build my truck. There was a suggested retail on the spec. I emailed it to him, and he quoted me under sticker. (Late January 2017) Truck came off the line and some items were installed off line. Truck came in as ordered and I...

The manuals are so large they affect the payload limit. Cut out the legalese and your fuel economy improves by 8-12%.

Easy install. Should have done this before my knee replacement. Mine had a “blemish“ too. It faces oncoming traffic. So far none of them flashed their headlights in disgust. I’m so relieved they included a tool and an odd bolt thing which I couldn’t figure how it would work so off...

They played in my high school’s gym.
