In my Hybrid, I use the OLM for recommended changes, except for the initial break-in oil/filter change. I did that one at 4k, which was about 2k of gasoline engine miles. OEM filter was tiny and I wanted to get it replaced.
I can\u2019t make out the sound but once upgraded the alternator on my 29 roadster pu that had a late model bronco v6 in it and the darn thing sounded like I had a super charger with the whirling. Crazy sound but ran perfectly fine for as long as I had the truck (years).
The shocks and fuel filters are often neglected in maintenance, but do make a difference if they have a lot of miles on them.
There's some evidence that EVs are harder on tires because they're heavier and accelerate better, but at 10k on my very, very heavy Lightning I'm not seeing that, probably because I drive like a grandma.
In the 11000 or so km i have driven the vehicle i have already had 1) Water pump replacement, 2) Front engine cover slow leak ( awaiting parts on backorder) & 2 inspections covered under warranty.
In keeping my 07 f150 xl long bed regular cab till my feet go through the floor and I gotta push it up the exit ramps.
I met a guy with a 25, trying to get a replacement battery that has to be done at the dealership.
A $80k truck that you're basically renting from Ford because of all the gatekeeping software crap- and most of it experimental with the buyers being the test market.
When I replaced my starter last time, I wrenched down the solenoid connections too hard and cracked it.
That plastic is awful
Plastic becomes brittle. They are a bugger to remove without breaking. But they do still occasionally snap.
High temp plastic does turn brittle over time... plastic breaks manufacturers will tell you that the plastic is just as strong and wear resistant. But we all know its just to make shit cheaper.
