I've been trying to buy a truck for the last year. I couldn't find what I wanted because of the covid shutdown. I finally ordered one last December and still don't have it. It apparently rolled off the assembly line on Feb 22. But with the shortage of semiconductors I believe they stole parts off of it for more profitable Trucks. And I am having a hard time buying a new computer as well. :(

I just ordered 3 new iphones from verizon. They only had white in the 128gb model, but I'm glad I was able to get them. If not I was going to be doing battery replacement #2 on ours.

on FB, we were talking about the price of lumber....plyw ood is thru the ceiling but so are 2x4s, etc.
-
The crap thing about lumber is the yards are filling back up but the price isn’t coming back down.

Apparently the price has tripled in the last year for 2x4's and plywood! All house supplies have gone up. The price of shingles is really high too. I have to do my garage this year. I'd be interested to see what the price difference is from last year. Can't see it being lower.

This post worked. I picked up my new Truck yesterday! :cheers:

AMD stuff is nuts and the largest Canadian vendor is screwing their customers cancelling high end video card orders after 6 months wait. Somebody leaked that they actually have the cards just keeping them for "custom" builds.People that couldn't get the high end stuff bought further down the bragging scale causing a shortage there.
I was building a low end machine and had to order the APU "used" from Aliex to get one.

Peugeot switched back to Analog gauges to be able to build some cars

Nice - the new canyon looks a lot like the sierra, I had to do a double take

Thanks! Once I break it in I will be buying a CAI and cat back. I already have my upgraded turbo picked out, the 41mm.

hmmm

Yup! My buddy bought a brand new 3500 HD Denali and got it within 6 weeks, I had to wait almost 5 months.
But I am loving my baby max. Not even broken in and I got it down to 10.3/100, 27 mpg combined but mostly city. And I have been on and off the throttle constantly to not keep a steady rpm. Once I hit 1500km I will dump the oil in it. Can't wait for the borders to open to take it on a good highway trip!

This little Truck keeps amazing me. I installed a CAI and a couple other mods. This thing is making Prius owners jealous on the highway! I've seen a best of 5.8 L/100 km and I am now sitting at high 8's/9.0 L/100km with 65% city driving.
-
Wow, I never got below 10L/100 in the 2.7 ecoboost.

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 (https://www.ford-trucks.com/articles/ford-ready-to-ship-thousands-of-f-series-pickups-thanks-to-chip-shipment/) 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.

What's funny is I sent a picture of my milage to an old but young co-worker whom owns a Tacoma TRD Pro. His response was that I am going to blow my engine. I told him it is a diesel, totally different characteristic s than a gasoline engine. And when ever I see him drive by I will text him and say I seen him in his gas guzzling truck. :icon_lol:

This is with 70% city, taken today. A shade over 1/8 of a tank, 21 gallon tank.

want to end all all this shortage and not being able to get help ?? NO MORE FREE $$$$$ TO SIT ON YOUR ASS DOIN NOTHING.End unemployment NOW. Work or starve.

Dan, I am afraid this is here to stay. The country is being overthrown from the inside. It is not alone as most of the other free nations are further down the path than we are.

I am trying to be positive :chin: Stopped watching the news after the election.
-
I read whatever news I want to know about on my phone. Google has given up on me and only sends me news about cars and guns for the most part as I keep checking I don't want to know about this kinda stuff

That is absolutely true! It has screwed everything up. It is like people saying everyone should make the same wage. If that was the case nobody would better them selves, research and development would be minimal if not non-existent.
