https://www.freep.com/story/money/cars/2019/09/27/gm-strike-mary-barra-pay-uaw-wages/3776066002/ Article above is from 2019, when the last contract was negotiated. It helps explain the breakdown of the different types of UAW employment. It also highlights the topic of temporary workers. Ford...

Curious myself, I pulled some insight this AM. The last contract was ratified in 2019. Below is an article citing general numbers for how much labor costs go into the overall price of each vehicle, from 2019 - 2023...

^ This. This is a good topic, good time for everyone to review their policies and what's covered. The minimum in the states I've been resident of are laughable. $30K? You can blow that with one to two hours in an ER before being transferred to a bed. As noted above, vehicle repair and/or...

I'm paying $500, every six months for a car of the spec referenced below. Edit: 100K per person, 300K per accident, full coverage, $1K deductible. CO has some of the highest $ auto and homeowner's insurance in the country. https://www.valuepenguin.com/motor-vehicle-theft-statistics Last...

Looking down the mouth of the trap filter, is almost like having to breath through yet another air filter. Gen3s picked up a minimum of 10HP, confirmed on the dyno. Some have advertised making 18-20 HP. Throw in a high-flow air filter for another 1-2 HP. People who've done it say throttle...

* I am not a lawyer. I do not have a formal education. This, is an Internet forum. I'm not familiar with the specific term above. I am familiar with leasing. In general, you can do what ever you want, but... When it comes time to return the vehicle, to the company you're employed by or Ford...

Speculating... In Apr/May, several posted articles highlighted Ford QC issues and holds on Production for: - Body panel alignment - Electronics - Valves within the Gen 4 V-8 Could be a software mistake, a leftover from Test, R&D, when Ford was working through their issues.

While I am aware of the videos being posted, I have not watched them. I have been reading comments. The narrators, have any made mention of the drive mode they're in while on the dyno?

I've never studied this feature, but I believe I have it or some variant of it. If washing the car with the FOB in my pocket, the doors will lock/unlock (maybe just unlocking repeatedly) depending on how close I am, often without touching the handle, sometimes when walking away. It's weird, so...

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/09/02/uaw-strikes-at-gm-ford-stellantis-seem-inevitable.html Some hypotheticals as to how things could play out :idea:, insight into the personalities involved :angry:, survey and union coffer insight :inspect:.

FL has licensing requirements for these types of products. If a company wants to sell a policy in the state of FL, they must be licensed by FL to sell in FL. Granger has advised us previously they are not licensed to sell polices in the state of FL. I understand Granger is selling a Ford...

Edit: yea, I think I understand now. On the 2022/2023, two divots are in the center of the bumper cover; these allow you to drill pilot holes and center the bracket. Once on, two edge holes, if the screws are long enough, will also screw into the bumper cover. But they don't have to. With the...

Interesting. I went downstairs to pick up mine. I see your point. At first glance, it's upside-down, but if you look at the side and how it meets the curve of the bumper, it does appear to be installed correctly. I wonder if Ford forgot to adjust the mold, so the tabs are placed at the bottom.

Listed dates for Production can show as 10 days to two weeks. I'd like to think that, if discussions are moving forward, work will continue, contract or not. If things become stalled, yes, a strike is quite probable. Early innings. We might not hear anything new until after the Holiday. Even...

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/31/uaw-files-nlrb-complaints-against-gm-stellantis-over-contract-talks.html Some further insight. Overall, it seems parties as posturing, doing an initial volley of positions and digging in.

The factory policy, the bumper-to-bumper policy is 3Y, 36000 mi/57000 km. People buying a new car can buy a policy at the time of purchase, but they can also buy one just before the factory policy expires. I purchased mine a bit over one year from signing for the car, through Granger. While FL...

I feel your biggest limitation will be that FL requires providers to be licensed in the state of FL. E-mails, cold calls and googling. When I putted around on this topic earlier, I found an out-of-state Ford dealer licensed to sell in FL, but I didn't inquire further (site required personal...

You know what you want, what you ordered. You've budgeted and prepared for that. You've expressed doubts about the incoming car, it's spec, possibly replacing the tires. The dealer might find a way to make things look good on paper, with you later determining it cost you. Your order was placed...

Selecting oil brands and types can lead to some animated discussions, much of which is backed by anecdotal information. When considering oil brands, virtually everyone with a Coyote had a positive comment about PUP. Is it superior? IDK. The product is designed towards performance engines and...

If at all possible, I think it is in everyones' interest not to accept any add-ons of any kind. Anything I've read of dealers offering, can be accomplished later by the owner on their timeline, at a better price. It's best to have the discussion when placing an order or before the car arrives...
