YAY! So glad the national park bill passed! We have been waiting for this to happen to be able to safely film in those parks without repercussion. The devastation in California is incredibly sad. Safe travels to FL! - Jim & Michelle
Yay for content makers but public/private partnership really means privatization and $$ for cronies of those in charge 😢 Get ready for more fees and reservations for everything…
Google search and you will find the failure of the CP4 fuel pump on Ford diesels is due to the low sulfur content in the diesel fuel in USA. Pumps are made in Germany where diesel fuel has a higher sulfur content which helps lubricate the pump parts. There had been a class action suite which is still pending.
Hi Jason thank you for this news and information on monuments being named. And trucks being recalled. And more. My heart goes out to yours and Abby’s brother’s. I hope they are ok. Their families and their house. I will pray for all to be ok!
The idea of REI Experiences was to make more people happy outdoors. Which in theory would create more customers for REI, but make it very hard to connect customer spending to REI purchasing. I suspect REI just blew away the program, because it would have been hard to tailor the program and get solid metrics on increased return.
I don't think having standard halogen tail eyes is weird. LED headlights make a lot of sense. Not so much in the back. Standard bulbs burn out you replaced them. They are cheap. While LED fixtures tend to last longer, have you seen how much it cost to replace them when they are damaged or when they burn out? Sometimes thousands of dollars each. Stick with the old-fashioned cheap stuff. You never see it anyway
But rear lights don't need to be expensive because they aren't anywhere near as bright as headlights. Cars have been using LED tail lights for decades now, well before LED headlights.
@ perhaps they don't need to be, but if I were you I would price what Ford and General Motors and Chrysler charge for replacement units. And usually you have to replace the entire fixture. You will be shocked
Don’t think the insurance companies aren’t looking at what these LED headlights cost. They aren’t worried ‘ cause the just pass the additional costs to you.
Don't be fooled. LED lighting does not require "proprietary lamp assemblies" which is what you are being charged for. Two separate issues. I replaced all the BULBS in my old car with LEDs. Turn, brake, license plate, you name it. Might have cost $10-15 per bulb, but doubled the brightness and meant I'd never have one burn out on me. No tickets. Fancy light assemblies are an entirely different issue. Yes, you can pay $350 for a rear light assembly--but the LEDs are coincidental. If they made fancy light assemblies that used plain bulbs, the assemblies would cost just as much.

Praying for your family, all affected and those on the frontline.
Thank you for your great videos!
thanks for updates
Happy New Year!
you too!
Good information.
So my CP4 pump may fail due to biodiesel fuel deposits. The fix? Change the software in the PCM. That makes no sense at all.
Two words:
Fuel additive.
Every fill up.

When is Ford going to recall the 7.3 and fix the camshaft delamination
Will you bring the new Sabre to the Seattle show?
We have not heard from the show regarding a return visit to Seattle this year, but, hopefully, the Sabre 37RVMiles can make it, even if we cant. 👍🏼
Great! 🤪

@ if the truck comes with them from the factory, you'll have to replace the fixture because there aren't separate bulbs to just install.
👍
Ford’s recent track record of doing all they can to duck responsibility for defects continues with their latest “fix” for the SD diesels.
Not happy with this nonsense of land robbery -Chuckwalla. Nobody hardly goes there except for 4×4 clubs that keep the area clean.
