So I've used up all my time and now you want me to go twice as far. Government math?

Ford recently sent a letter to dealers informing them that customers will be able to order a 2021 Ford F-150 without start-stop now through
the end of 2021. This change wasn’t made in response to customer
feedback, however, but rather out of necessity. The semiconductor chip shortage has made the parts needed for the start-stop system hard to come by, so
 those that choose to give it up could take delivery of their shiny new
trucks sooner than if they insist on keeping it.

General Auto Tech / Chevy truck guys- 2015-16 recall

« on: July 12 2021, 02:20:19 PM »

General Motors is recalling more than 400,000 pickup trucks in the U.S. because the side air bags can explode without warning and spew parts into the cabin.

The recall covers certain 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks.

Documents posted on Jul. 9 by U.S. safety regulators say the air bag inflator can rupture or the end cap can fly off on both sides of the trucks. Documents say three inflators ruptured in 2015 Silverados last month, one in Florida and two in Texas. All three trucks were unoccupied at the time, and GM says it has no reports of injuries.

The company says a manufacturing defect allowed moisture into the inflator while it was being manufactured, causing corrosion. The inflators were made in Mexico by Joyson Safety Systems.

Dealers will replace both side air bag modules. The company says it has a limited number of replacement parts available. Owners will be notified starting Aug. 16 and they’ll get a second letter when parts are widely available.

About 9,000 of the trucks were recalled last year for the same problem.

Very few used trucks are available here, many tradeins were shipped south for greater returns

Drove one for a week when Turbolicker was fixing my f150. Pretty similar I felt, they all have their pros and cons. Probably less of crap shoot than me with the aluminum body and ecoboost.
