Great Job


BTW what is the EPA rating for that Sport track?

13 city 20 hwy for a 2WD

Yeah now I'm the Manager with the funny looking non Ford that gets 45mpg+

What really surprises me is how entrenched some of the mechanics are with information that may not be accurate and their unwillingness to accept change.

I check my pressure every 2 days and whenever I do it, the tire tech, who is also a master technician tries to tell me to let air out of the tires because they are going to blow out. I acknowledge him as I dial up the Nitrofill to 55psi ... LOL

He keep telling me I'll get better traction by lowering the PSI and I keep telling him I'll do it as soon as I go driving on the frozen lake here in South Florida.
