@JeffGambrell4 @TheRealBreezly @Mappy6984 I doubt youre going near the maximum weight rating. Its fine for shit like boats and whatever you can buy at a Costco. Its a perfectly adiquate motor for the man who should have bought an S10/Ranger

@Clifffoxx @TheRealBreezly @Mappy6984 I’ve gotta say I’ve got the 2.7 and it’s towed everything I wanted. The problem with them isnt the motor its the transmission and tc. Had to replace mine @ 80k and it’s running better than before

That turbo has to be glowing

@TheRealBreezly @Mappy6984 Tow capacity doesnt mean its supposed to be using all of it. Yes its RATED to handle that, but the engine cant keep up. You need the V8 to make use. Imagine if I put all 4,500lbs of towing capaity on my '48 Willys-Overland pickup. It makes 60hp on a good day. Its unusable.

@Clifffoxx @Mappy6984 8000 pounds is 1500 pounds LOWER than the tow capacity. (9500lbsl Its EXACTLY in its element.

@SkrotskiZork da guys

Quit horsing around!

@EightTrck good ole Mighty Mac

I love watching the weather roll in over the water.

@EightTrck Dang ok then

@Clifffoxx She's a factory 318 car, actually

Found a new armrest for the Plymouth, it's the wrong shade of green, but still a whole lot nicer. I made the mistake of trying to peel off the 8 layers of duct tape on the old one to see how bad it was, and now I need a shower in Goof-Off.

@EightTrck Better be running a six-shooter still

@Clifffoxx 74 Valiant! Also, yours is very pretty

@Firestarter1604 @Derangeddoomer @Mangoyena Oh, I mean the guy with the orange dog pfp. Mangoyena I am familiar with because of this very image

@Clifffoxx @Derangeddoomer @Mangoyena Sure, sure...

@Firestarter1604 @Derangeddoomer @Mangoyena I have never seen the OP in my life

@Clifffoxx @Derangeddoomer @Mangoyena Notice they never credit artists?

@SkrotskiZork angy

Gremlin

@SkrotskiZork Is it really a battle if youre having fun?

I battle with homosexual thoughts everyday

@SkrotskiZork Let this be a lesson to always wear your eye protection in the shop, lest you get scars like that

Man...

@Azzy1047 So the regular pentastar oil change, got it.

@Clifffoxx was in for a tick and cel, cyl 3’a intake cam lobe was gone, lifter was stuck. i always recommend filter housings when the intake is off and they’re leaking :) this one’s been cams, lifters, and a cooler so far

pentastaring so hard rn

@yourlocalfusky coolant tank level sensor, I promise. It always is. Youre not even close to hot

@chan_lambda @FinancialPhys Oh they will. Bailouts and tax dollars, my friend. Too big to fail.

@Clifffoxx @FinancialPhys They won't sell and they won't stay alive.

At what price per gallon is it no longer profitable to go to work?

@chan_lambda @FinancialPhys The consumer base and gov't bailouts are a lit different. Today consumers are brainless and the auto makers are government agencies. They'll make more, bigger stuff and stay alive

@Clifffoxx @FinancialPhys We're back where we were in the 1970s they'll have to do it if they want to stay in business.

@KidnHoops @chan_lambda @FinancialPhys Yup, my old Saturn is good for a solid 30ish in my area. Confirmed 42 highway

@Clifffoxx @chan_lambda @FinancialPhys I get 35mpg in my lil commuter and 26 in my personal. My hatchback is amazing
