/o/ help.
I've been using 4chan for years but I never go on this board. I need advice on buying a truck. I'm planning on living on the road for a while, and I'd like to do it in a truck with a slide in camper (like pic related) I was trying to get advice from a friend who suggested buying a first generation tacoma, but after doing some research, even though those look like solid trucks, they don't seem capable of carrying one of these campers, so now I need more options. I'm hoping to buy something used for under $7k. I'd like something reliable and easy to fix, with hopefully decent gas milage.

You could get a square body F250 with the 7.3L. Those things are indestructible.

I straightened out the cable and operation from within the car seems to work now.
Thanks guys. I know it's a simple thing but fixing it made me feel good about myself.

I'm running low on coolant. I bought new stuff, but my car is special so it's going to take a week or two before I get it.
Can I just run on water until then, I don't have to drive much and freezing isn't a danger. It's hot though since I live in Arizona. Will it be alright for 15 mile max trips to and from work? Is there any long term permanent danger that this could create?

You'll be fine as long as you aren't sitting in stop-and-go traffic
Coolant is cheap as fuck mate. Why can't you just buy it locally?

Only done your standard "I finally got a sports car" kind of drifting, half heartedly getting it sideways around a small corner at night but that was fun. I can only imagine tracking it and doing it quicker and proper would be even more fun.

Once thing I've never understood about engine swapping. Why won't you just buy a better car with that engine inside? Unless it's some extreme custom build like huge VTECs in Minis I see no need for this kind of mod.

Hello fellow 18-21 year old white males! It looks like you've become a bit confused about things! Time for some friendly advice to help you along life's rich journey!
>sports coupes are status symbols
>brotrucks are status symbols
>moab 4wds are status symbols
>sportbikes are status symbols
>cafe racers are status symbols
Only problem is, you can't afford a high end status symbol! Oh no! Looks like women don't care about your 2007 mustang! Anyway, enjoy your hobby guys! Good luck out there ;)

Can we have an actual non meme discussion about the gt v8 mustangs? I'm strongly considering an 02-04 mach 1 or cobra mustang, obviously manual but I don't think they come in auto anyway. Most are priced around 8-11k, is this a reasonable price? I want one because it's rwd, manual, leather seats. Only other options are German and luxury cars and fuck that shit. Anyone ever own a cobra or mach 1, or even a lower trim? Is it worth owning this car? I'm not a racer bro by any means. I just want a strong car that's comfy. It would also be my first manual

I liked my 2003 GT. It drove nice and sounded great. Decent torque, enough to put you in your seat a little bit.
Good MPG too, I got 21ish in town daily driving it.
I don't suggest the upper trims unless it's a terminator. There aren't enough differences in them to make the price jump worth the money.
>>
exterior is nice, but the interior is disgusting.
Fun cars, also the Bullit version is alright but a bit expensive because of the rarity.
Id go mach for the hood and rims or a normal GT and customize it with the left over money.
>>
2005-2008 GT Mustangs are in the $9-11ish range. Those would be a better deal. Newer chassis, 300hp vs 260hp.
I wouldn't pay more than $6k for a SN95 platform. By all means they are great and reliable cars. But the 4.6 2v SoHC is just a poor excuse of an engine. It's huge and heavy but doesn't have the power to back it up. The DOHC isn't really that much better, considering it needs premium gas, but it can become a horsepower monster.
Why do these two cars look identical?

Dodge and Chevy had a chief engineer employed at both plants. So they share a lot of aesthetics. But under the hood is very different: one has a Turbo V6, the other a V8.

Because they're both lapped by a Genesis and v6 mustang on the track.

You should start by selling the car.

Step 1: Sell it
Step 2: Buy 86
Step 3: LS Swap

hey /o/. weird question but can you demagnetise a car? I may be purchasing a giant magnet in a bit and I wonder if I can safely put it in my vehicle without having shit be broken and the electronics be fried

Alternators always have magnets in them.
What is the maximum amount of magnetic field strength (in Teslas) that you would expect to see from this magnet?
>>
>>16961284
it's a 60 MHz MRI so like maximum 10 T?
>>
>>16961266
The magnet goes in the back, all the important stuff is up front, and the fuel tank is plastic.
Worst it can do is fuck with the rear brakes and suspension while it's there. And, if it's a strong enough magnet, coat the underside of your car with road debris is picks up.
The real problem is getting it away from your car. Cars are big hunks of ferrous metal. You may break the floorpan if it's stuck down too hard.

I certainly never saw anything more about other than that last thread in like January. but I guess between my Mustang and my F150 I've been pretty busy with running over pedestrians and Mitsubishis.
I'd be up for it. I know some car guys in the area but none that are on here. I'm always down to stand in a parking lot and benchrace with strangers.

It cost me $25 to get an oil change at NTB. But somehow it cost me over $40 to buy 5 quarts of oil and an oil filter.
What am I doing wrong here? I want to do it myself but it's so much cheaper to have someone else do it.
