    Cost of Ownership

    Another reason why brake fluid should be flushed & replaced every other year. Brake fluid is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture) and that moisture causes rust in lines & calipers. Also water becomes steam & will cause air bubbles in the line, leading to spongy brakes.

    Anyone using E85 in their flex fuel vehicle

    I've never used E85 but recently thought about running a tank of it. Even though the car is designed to run on it my concern is it's an 09, now suddenly throwing E85 in it will it cause sudden leaks or other issues? I mainly want to run it as it's allegedly a good cleaning method. I know it's...

    A/C keeps turning off.

    Heater Blower Motor Resistor Regulator Harness For 07-14 Ford Expedition, $14 on ebay. You can use the supplied butt connectors but personally I prefer to solder & heat shrink. And btw, it's not just A/C, there's only one motor for the front that handles A/C, Heat, Defrost & vents. Sent from my...

    Does the 302 Limited have 400hp or 375 for 2019?

    Interesting that trim levels dictate hp. Not that it hasn't been done before though. Often I'll see people ask questions and they feel listing extra information like what kind of wipers, brake fluid etc should I use in my 09 Limited EL. Btw, when I get wiper blades from Autozone and they ask me...

    Wider tires?

    Quick questions on your 3" lift. Did you need to modify anything like brake lines? Did the handling change much? Affect the shaft angles from pumpkins to wheels? I'm considering this when it warms up. I also noticed that the kits are 3" front & 2" rears.

    Wider tires?

    BTW I used an app called Tire Expert to do the size calculation. There's also this site as well: https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?

    Wider tires?

    Stock 275/55/20 is 810.5 mm tall & 2546mm in diameter The 285/50/20 is 793mm tall & 2491 in diameter, would lower your ride height 8.8mm and at 100Kph your speedometer would read 97.8Kph. A 305/50/20 would be much closer at 813 mm tall & 2554mm in diameter. and at 100Kph your speedometer would...

    Wider tires?

    Thanks for all the good advice as usual. I have a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T3W 255/70 R18's ordered through my local Mavis. Price is better than the online companies. I need tires that can handle high speeds, here on the Island we typically run 75mph. Being a long time road driver I don't slow...

    So he was a bit long winded but he had some very good points.

    Wider tires?

    For snow yes, but for soft sand though you want more of a footprint to keep from sinking in. Now I've come to realize that the difference in width is minimal. Just about .7 inches wider. In millimeters it sounded so much wider.

    Wider tires?

    These just look like they're borrowed from an Escape. Also figured on a little more flotation on sand as well.

    Wider tires?

    Currently my 09 EL has 255/70/18's & considering going to 275/65/18. They're almost the same diameter. Has anyone changed sizes as well?...
