Hundreds of thousands of downshifting miles on bikes and cars here with nary a worn gear, dog, fork, or clutch in the bunch. Have seen 80k miles on brake pads, and 100k+ miles on a clutch. Come to a stop in neutral if you must, but all you're doing is wearing out your brakes faster than you need to.

Probably should have kept the Volvo and called it a day. Personally I'd have kept the mustang and ditched the buick.

Different strokes for different folks. I could (probably) drive a Honda or VW as a DD, but neither would ever be a replacement for my 5.0.

Oops. That's what happens when you drink and post!

Nice. Pretty much exactly the same. Thanks for serving!

+1 Gates look cool, but are really just a crutch for imprecise shift linkage.

Anyone else see Pikachu?

Lolz! If only this thing came with an owner's manual...

Reused the plug twice on the 'stang and three times on the f150 so far with no issues.

Was totally stoked when I heard the new bronco was coming with a manual, and even a granny gear. Then found out it's only available with the base engine. :crying:

Ha! Right. Forgot about that one.

Damn, beat me to it. Has to be the best topic... EVER!

Lol. But apparently asking silly questions on internet forums is okay. Wait, isn't that like asking for directions?

Michael? I thought it was Francis, aka Psycho. Anyway... Maybe since the OP is a mechanic he can replace his worn wrist pins and report back?

All your base are belong to us. I hate when someone is trying to sell wheels with 'curve' damage. Or their rims have been 'curved'.

Am I the only one who read the entire owner's manual at least twice before I even took delivery of the car? Yes, I am that kind of car geek.

I'll be damned if I can get it below about 18 combined!

IMO the PP2 is not noticeably harsher than the GT or PP1, and handles significantly better. I don't DD my car, but have 7,500 miles on the cup 2s, and expect to get another 7,500 out of them. Unless you are doing burnouts from every stop, or melting them in every corner, they will last...

Yup. No correlation to engine failures, it's moving into a fourth model year with no revision, and it runs like a raped ape. Time to let it go.
