It's generally accepted by scientists that CO2 from the atmosphere is absorbed by the ocean. The PH level is changed, the water becoming more acidic. Yes, this does affect wildlife. Increased levels of mercury seen in fish are primarily the byproducts of spent coal, the contaminants from...

https://www.guidepointsystems.com/ Dealers of new vehicles, used cars especially, will install these trackers for repo activities. If you are making payments on the car, it's for their benefit, not yours. Even after completing payments and owning the car outright, I doubt the dealer calls the...

The '24 Owners Manual is 550+ pages. I have an original copy of the 1965 manual; it's 72. :giggle: I did find some explanations for the system in the '24 manual, starting as Page 85. I'm given an option when exiting. I always select the default. :bandit:

Ford's security package offers at least one interior motion sensor, as an additional layer of security. The option to disable is welcome by pet owners. It allows the vehicle movement sensors and open door sensors to be active, the car and console secured, while allowing a pet to move around inside.

Much of the discussion in this thread and others focused on prices and inflation. While the headline numbers on inflation are trending down and lower than previous, this number is something of a weighted average of the cost involving several sectors of the economy...

Regarding earlier comments on how nuclear waste is stored, some insight on that. Nuclear Waste Disposal Finland Finland is a model for the rest of us. Spending $1B, they created a in-ground repository for nuclear waste: Onkalo (West coast of Finland, center of country). This site has just...

Ten pages?! I think we can do better than that. :giggle: Several comments earlier highlighted EV battery disposal processes, what's being done now. The following is some information I gathered on the topic. EV Battery Recycling Lithium is a fundamental element of the universe; it doesn't wear...

I've used the XG-series filter in Skye without issue. The filter is designed to support synthetic oils used in extended service intervals. Tear-down videos highlight the internals, how some of the gaskets might be of thicker material or better quality, the filter media density and spacing could...

From January 3rd of this year, Ford commenting on 2024 sales. The ICE Mustang is not mentioned. Ford (any company really) will want to emphasize the positives, where growth is coming from. https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2025/01/03/fourth-quarter-full-year-sales.html A...

I don't feel it's any one thing causing downward pressure on sales. It's a combination of multiple, years-long issues. Price Generational Differences Styling Quality Control Tuning and Aftermarket Thinking of someone who recently left college, I priced an EcoBoost. I wanted a 3.55 rear, which...

My original post was wrong. Updating with better detail. The following are CARB-compliant. I studied the topic of "50 state legal" and "CARB-compliant". Whipple's Stage 1, Stage 2 and Ford Performance kits for the S650 are CARB-compliant. Whipple Stage 1...

If your Oil Life Monitor (OLM) is telling you it's time to change the oil, you should. The OLM is driven by several factors, to include miles, temperatures, RPMs, amount of time driven, frequency of each drive, etc. At one extreme, a car not driven at all, the OLM will expire at the end of one...

I was reading on some topics this morning... We reference rollover safety as to why it can be difficult to siphon fuel from modern vehicles. Another reason is emissions. While we can readily fuel our vehicles, Ford treats the tank, lines and everything else as a sealed system. To capture fuel...

This is some insight on those topics I studied previously. -------------------------------- This morning I reviewed anything I could readily find on EV legislation in CA. If the existing timeline is adhered to, all new car sales in CA will eventually involve zero emissions. I did not study...

https://afdc.energy.gov/laws/california-standards For clarification, CA's state legislature crafted and passed their zero-emissions policies and standards. Twelve other states have since adopted the same. As of today, the legislation mentioned is in-tact. I always encourage people to turn in...

The platform you're posting from can make a difference. Many attempting to do things from their cell phones or tablets have issues. PCs and Macs have fewer problems. Check all Ad Blockers, Anti-Virus programs; many can prevent transfers. Confirm the file size. There are limits. The largest...

BTW, until you confirm the nature of the leak and that it's fixed, be safe when starting and using the car. If the leak is constant and you're in a confined or steady space, there's the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning from underneath.

It appears to be so, yes. I have factory exhaust, collecting similar fluid at the end tips which then dries. It could be the exhaust leaks when cold, then seals quickly afterwards. At cool down, the leak returns. It could also be a full-time leak. If you can safely raise the car while...

I just waded into the 2025 Order Guide. This whole floor mat thing is confusing AF. Multiple Options. :curse: Search floor mat in the attached, the price reference in-particular. Good Luck.
