  2. Massive bridge in Baltimore collapsed after being struck.

    One factor - this bridge was built in the 1970s. A new bridge will have to meet current construction standards which requires a clean sheet design. In addition to construction time - engineering, permits, environmental impact studies (and more permits), union restrictions. A lot of that will get...

  3. Are multi-tools still a thing?

    I usually carry a Leatherman Wave plus for just the reasons you describe. Adding a pocket clip is what made it work for me. The OEM belt holster is too much trouble.

  7. Ford F150 5.0 vs 3.5 Ecoboost

    Roller followers might be making the noise. If so, once they start making noise they tend to fail without warning, sometimes catastrophically. Here's a good video showing the issue (jump to 7:30 for quick info): Given the rust, you may want to invest the time and dollars for the fix, but at...

  9. Dumping EVs, returning to gasoline powered vehicles.

    A lotta truth in that. :D If I remember right, he went through a pretty big federal lawsuit 2 or three years ago, related to one of his giveaway trucks and modification of the emissions system. Soon after he said that they would be phasing out diesel project vehicles and taking a new direction.

  10. Dumping EVs, returning to gasoline powered vehicles.

    Worth watching:

  11. Ford F150 5.0 vs 3.5 Ecoboost

    You've gotten good service out of that one. My father had a similar experience with an '04, but it was wrecked at around 160k. For yours - you'll need to listen for roller follower failure - if you plan keep it long term. The roller bearing seem to wear out regardless of good maintenance.

  13. 1989 Chevrolet S-10 2.8l engine

    Will the front wheel drive variants work? Lots of GM cars out there with these engines.

  14. Ford F150 5.0 vs 3.5 Ecoboost

    They've supposedly revised/upgraded the design, though I don't know if it worked well. Regardless, 3 valve Ford engines aren't a good investment. There is a company that offers a cam phaser eliminator kit with fixed timing gears and a programmer to make it all work.

  15. Dumping EVs, returning to gasoline powered vehicles.

    For what it's worth - he said that the alternators "would be working against each other and cause damage to electronics" - suggesting that two alternators running at once would overload the systems on both cars and pop something. I don't think that's a likely scenario either, but not as dumb...
