    Best oil for the 3.5 V-6??

    I have been running Castrol since the mid-late 80s. Both good oils, all this proves is that I’m not quite the old fart that Rocket Tech is, lol.

    Auto Writers Gush Over New Ford Ranger

    I have a friend who is a Ford master tech. I’d go back to Chevrolet before I’d buy a Ranger. He has seen many an ecoboost grenade itself around 20K miles. When I say many- I mean more than ten in two years.

    Round, black, and full of air. Tread preferred. Never seen anyone mention Maxxis. Youngest boy has a set on his GMC and they are performing well. Well enough that I will look into them when the time comes.

    What did you do with your Taco today

    Originally posted yesterday, as in Sunday... so Sunday, I did nothing in my Tacoma. All the action was in Mrs. AD's Highlander. Today being Monday, I drove my Tacoma to work. When I leave work, I'll go to the gym, then go home. Wash, rinse, repeat for Tuesday-Thursday.
