I've become obsessed with gated shifters.
Why do so few cars have them? What's the cheapest way to get into one?

feel like the 7.3 is a little more of an all a round truck. On the 5.9, there were a lot of good things, but there were some bad things that can be a problem, like the transmissions and interior. On things that were bad, the 7.3 was better in those areas. And on things that were good about the 5.9, well the 7.3 wasn't too far behind, besides repairs.

If Cummins had partnered with Ford these discussions wouldn't be happening.

Who the fuck bothers with diesel in 2024 when you can getna F250 with Godzilla? Unless you're a hotshotter going through a new truck every year it's just a massive waste of money

File: Sealing Strips.png (1.22 MB, 2086x552)

There are sealing strips in all forms for every part of the car. For instance the T-shaped one for the windshield, the S-shaped one for the hood or the gap between the trunk and the roof.
My car has NONE of them except for weather stripping in the doors and no water is leaking inside.
I found an online forum where someone sealed the hood gap so the engine warms up faster during winter, but that didn't sound convincing to me. So what happens when I seal all gaps on my car? Will it reduce noise? Is that some kind of aeromod? The little dirt these things keep out can't be the reason.

>>27500273
Reduce wind noise. Great way to trap moisture if you put it in bad spots
>>
>>27500273
I used them to replace fucked up OEM strips and to cover up a few ugly edges like the windshield in your pic
That hatch one, especially on a white car looks bad
>>
>>27500273
>What is the science behind sealing strips?
The answer is, "It depends"

If you look at a modern car door they will often have two, or maybe three lines of sealing, especially round the bottom. There will always be the primary door seal, which is usually a bubble seal that may or may not have mounded corners, depending on the shape of the door aperture. They used to be a length with a butt joint, but these days that are usually a complete ring with a moulded joint. These are to keep the water out, and they also contribute to wind noise reduction.
Secondary seals will be closer to the outer skin of the door and they are a "first line" to keep water out and will also reduce wind noise. These can be bubble or flip
Tertiary will be sealing right at the skin and will be designed to bridge the shut lines and offer a smooth surface to the airflow. The primary purpose of these is aerodynamic and wind noise.
There may be a n additional seal along the lower edge of the door, which are designed to keep mud and water from getting onto the shut faces and dirtying clothing.
How many of these seals you have will depend on the manufacturer, how noisy the car body is "out of the box" and how expensive/luxurious the program car is.

For tailgate seals on hatchbacks, well, they're basically a door, so see above.

For trunk seals there may be just the one, or there may be a secondary

Sealing on the edges of hoods can be for aerodynamics or to control airflow, particularly stopping dirty rainwater being blown out past the hood edges all over the paint, depending on the flow under the hood panel

i remember seeing triple door seals on my old xv10 camry. that thing really did punch above its weight for the time

The VW Golf Mk7 that was replaced by Mk8 around that time also had a pretty comfy dashboard. Decent materials, large enough screen for nav or whatever, but still had knobs and buttons for just about everything that could use a knob or a button.
Then they replaced it with glass, glossy plastic and capacitive sensor shit everywhere in the Golf Mk8.
The Golf used to be one of the most popular cars around here, but I swear I might have seen a single Mk8 in the past year, and I'm not even sure about that.

Proofs? Most of those old turds were scrapped when I still had hair and the drivetrains used in trucks of the era.
I scrapped a few working salvage. Nobody wanted four door cars unless it was genuinely special.

>>27494801
Ambulances and hearses were low volume vehicles in the first place. Even more rare are "flower cars" (think of a cross between those Cadillacs and El Caminos) which are seriously cook vehicles. Some of the last ones in the 1970s had 472 or 500 big blocks.

Fucking this. Every time I make the mistake of talking to another car guy IRL the conversation comes up "they don't make em like they used to", and when confronted with the reality that a modern car generally kicks the ass of more expensive stuff from 20 years ago (the ND is on par with the s2k in every way but nostalgia) I get to hear a list of piddly faults that invalidate the new stuff. Mention flaws in the old stuff and you'll get told it's character.

New bad old good is a self fulfilling prophecy and if you've never bought new then you have no right to bitch.

I don't know about sportiness, but I'm pretty sure most people would think of a pickup truck if you said "utility" and those are BoF. I think the "sport" in SUV is supposed to be less about the vehicle itself being sporty and more about it being a vehicle that gets you and your gear to places where you can do outdoor sports like skiing, hunting, etc. though.

Because of this general, I'm now sort of paranoid, or maybe that's not the word, but always conscious and wondering if the semis I'm passing might be someone from this board, or at least someone who's actually into cars, because previously I didn't think any truck drivers were actually interested in cars, because it just seemed like another job to them to me.

But now, I'm always wondering ...
