Who rebuilt your transmission? Did you buy a factory rebuilt like Jasper or have a local shop do the work? I had a Jasper engine and transmission put in a 1987 4WD Suburban back in the 90's but none since and was just wondering what your thoughts on best way to go with rebuilt were today.

My F150's 3.5 ecoboost has a torque curve very similar to a diesel reaching 420 ft/lb at 2300 rpm. Rarely go over 2500 rpm under any driving conditions. I do drive like an old man though, wait I am an old man, never mind.

At Devil's Tower the KOA plays Close Encounters of the Third Kind every night on the big screen outdoors with Devil's Tower behind the screen. Also the Crazy Horse monument is worth seeing.

And the F150 with a 3.5 eco is a 5.6 second 0-60 machine according to Car and Driver . Mine with a 1240# FWC Hawk on it with all the gear for a two week trip will do 0-60 in 6.5 seconds timed by me. I leave the Hawk on full time so no time without. http://www.caranddriver.com/ford/f-150

My wife is having the Regenexx stem cell therapy done next week on both knees. We researched for a while and decided on this procedure. My background is medical products RD for one of the companies that developed adult CD34 stem cell therapy. We developed the Isolex system. I worked on a...

One thing to consider on the new 2016 Tacomas is that they are only 4 inches narrower and weighs 450# less than a 2016 F150. Not sure which got bigger or smaller but they are not very small anymore. My 2003 Tacoma that I gave my daughter which she still drives seems tiny parked next to my 2015...

Mine is the same model. Rollover couch. She was getting behind the couch I had noticed at an earlier stop but did not think about the window opening. I really had even forgot that being able to open as we have never opened the emergency window.

I had installed a dash cam the week before so here is the moment when I found her. I have not set the correct time zone yet so the time was actually 2 AM.

Sunday while driving on I49 I looked in my side mirror and noticed that the emergency exit window was popped open and my German Shepherd had fallen out at 70 MPH. Not knowing where she fell out it took two days to find her on I49. She was scraped up a little but in good shape surprisingly...

I drive a 2015 F150 hope to get that kind of service. You don't want leave your business logo and phone number on the door like that plumber did, I think they had a 20mm mounted on his F150.

I believe if you read the methodology at the bottom of the article you will see that the % reported is percent of vehicles of that model. The vehicles analyzed for this study were 30 million used cars listed on iSeeCars.com during Jan. 1, 2013 through Dec. 31, 2013, with model years from 1981...

We spent three days driving the Macgruder road and loved it especially that we had the camping to ourselves. On our list to do again. We banged around a little bit and I learned that the aluminum body was tougher than I thought it would be as I don't worry about dents on a truck too much...

2015 F150 with Hawk.

One of the most common combos I have seen when traveling out west is the Tacoma/FWC combo. They don't seem to struggle at all with the weight watching them run or asking the owner. FWC's draw my attention when traveling because I own one and I have seen them on Tacomas, Tundras, Ford Chevy...

I have a 2015 F150 with a Hawk on full-time, don't even own jacks. I have had it on since factory install last June and the truck easily handles the payload. In fact it is the fastest accelerating vehicle that I have ever owned. We have done everything from interstates to FS roads like the...

No I have not been driving down trails but a while back the local national forests started really enforcing people who got off of designated roads and made new roads or drove down creek beds. When I was still working several of my coworkers were griping about large fines they got for trail...

Driving on the trails in national forests gets you a 1000$ fine. Don't ask me how I know.

I have a Hawk on a 2015 F150 to which I have added Torklift Stableloads which rides and works just fine. I have never driven the truck and camper without Stableloads so don't know if they were really needed. I had decided though that if more was needed or that I have some spring failure in the...

What is interesting is that I can find a cult like loyalty to any of the major truck brands on these sites very easily. This leads me to believe they are all pretty good trucks. Comparing new trucks to what we drove back in the day really isn't valid because trucks in general are better today.

Sweet ride and sounds like a great deal.

I think that if people like brand A over other brands they forgive and forget the problems they have had. I have owned 3 Toyota trucks and one Toyota car while they are excellent vehicles they all broke down at times and had to have parts replaced. Several recalls were involved including...

One thing to consider is that the new Tacomas are no longer a small truck. They are too big for at least the jeep trails around here. I recently bought a 2015 F150 but shopped all the truck brands. The new Tacomas are near the same size and weight as my crewcab F150 4WD. I looked it up after...

We had our Hawk installed at the factory in Woodland last June. Then we hit the following before going home. It took a month. Yosemite Pacific Coast highway Crater Lake Macgruder road on ID/MT border followed Nez Perce battles trail Yellowstone (been here several times before just spent a...

I had my Hawk installed at the factory in June 2015. They weigh them at the factory and give you a certificate with your paperwork. Mine weighed 1240. I have it on a F150 which easily handles the weight. Only modification is Torklift Stableloads. Not sure if this helps as my Hawk options...
