  1. I was never a Jeep fan until my wife got one last year, Wrangler Willys. Nice soft ride around town over potholes and ****** streets. Great visibility sitting up high and close to the near vertical windshield, big mirrors. Easy to park. Available 4x4 auto transfer case ( like awd ) so you don’t need to shift in and out with patchy snow and ice. Fun factor if you like top off or down in summer. Surprised that I actually enjoy driving it around town. The resale value is CRAZY GOOD like top of the list good. Probably sell/trade in 4-5 years while value is still high before repair costs come in to play, so not worried about reliability or repair costs. They retain value so well you can jump in a new one every few years and not lose your ass. Downsides, noisy ( don’t care radio always on ) Only 17 mpg in town, limited storage space. Probably not the safest in a accident.
  2. Chickweed, clover and oxalis killer from Ortho/weed b gone. Make sure its not the regular broadleaf weed control.
  3. My sister is a ICU nurse in Philly. She tells they have had some success with Hydroxychloroquine , azithromycin combination therapy but that a significant number of patients show improvement followed by a relapse/ worsening of the condition. Her unit is only caring for patients on vents so they are in pretty bad shape.
  4. The link above has some great options for adding studs to boots. I prefer “ trail grabbers “ that were originally designed for snowmobiles.
  5. PRO PRO IS ALL 100% MADE IN THE USA. STOP SPREADING RUMORS. THE ONLY MADE IN CHINA POWER PRO IS COUNTERFEIT EBAY JUNK
  6. 2.7L ecoboost vs 5.0L V8 Dovimotors on March 19, 2017 How does the 2.7L Ecoboost compare to the 5.0L V8? I love the 5.0L V8. I have personally owned three F150s with that motor and I think that it is one of the best engine/transmission combinations Ford has put together. My latest truck is equipped with the 2.7L V6. This motor was introduced in 2015 as the second Ecoboost engine available with the F150. Here is a table of the 2.7L Ecoboost vs. the 5.0L V8: 2.7L 5.0L HP 325 @ 5750 rpm 385 @ 5750 rpm Torque 375 lb-ft @ 3000 rpm 387 lb-ft @ 3850 rpm MPG (4X4) 18/23 15/21 The important difference to note in this comparison are the torque numbers because they really effect the driving experience. The difference in driving experience with the 2.7L Ecoboost The driving experience is largely determined by the amount of horsepower and torque that can be produced by an engine at a certain RPM. In the table above you will note that the 2.7L Ecoboost produces its peak torque at much lower RPMs than the 5.0L V8. Most average drivers never rev their vehicle up much past 3500 RPMs and so the full power experience of the V8 is rarely enjoyed. The 2.7L produces its max torque at 3000 RPMs, which is a range that the average driver if often in. As a result, even though the V8 boasts higher numbers, the actual driving experience for the 2.7L feels similar, and in some situations the 2.7L feels like it has more power. For example, I live on a steep hill and in order to get the V8 to pull up the hill you had to get the RPMs up closer to 4000 RPM. With the 2.7L you barely have to tip into the accelerator and the truck shoots right up with no trouble.
  7. Go compare a dyno chart from a 2.7 or 3.5 ecoboost to the 5.0 V8. I think you will find both ecoboost engines have a VERY wide range of torque
