The Coyote V8 is a great motor , would be more bullet proof / longer lasting with a mechanical driven oil pump over the wet belt drive. Looking at new trucks and the super duty is the only series that has robust engines like the Godzilla and Minizilla that have a singe cam with pushrods , chain driven internal accessories and far easier maintence. Not a fan of the variable output oil pumps on all of them , make is straight mechanical oil pump for solid oil pressure at idle. The minimum fuel savings is not worth potential engine damage from low idle PSI. Was going to buy an F150 with the Coyote V8 but will likely get a Super Duty gas when I replace my 2016 3.5 NA truck.

So 34% of teamsters are sharp as a marble, Harris / Biden have made nothing better , past , present or future. Fein is backing what might be the most stupid VP in history , the potato is not any better. Watch the fear when her teleprompter stops , comedy gold. https://t.co/287bSswwgS

" how the economy is in a good recovery," Talk about clueless and or tone deaf.......

Some of the former presidents should be in prison.

Kudos to both sides for continuing dialogue and hopefully reaching an agreement. Although any strike is not a popular option the selective and precise targeted strike is better than shutting down the entire industry.

Its a good point and all vehicles are manufactured and assembled the same way so incurred costs are similar. You mean use Excel with actual data and maybe a pivot table with graphs and real values? That would require actual work with data / stats and tech savvy the IUAW is not. Skimming thru some of the news briefs Farley is clear he feels hourly is comped very well and many are which has nothing to do if the company is profitable. If the company is profitable its insane to expect workers , hourly and salary to reduce or pay more for their existing benefits and wages. Forget about virtually nothing added to Ford legacy employees pension for decades , COLA and the 2nd tier thingy.

Hiring people based on their gender , ethnicity , orientation , etc. is just as bad as NOT hiring someone on the same basis. If you want the best and brightest that should be the only criteria.

Ford should be hiring or promoting the best employees in their fields , not based on diversity , inclusion , etc. Everyone at work should be working and leave the other personal stuff at the door. When you hire or promote people with no real positive experience or higher level of excellence nothing good happens.

Quality is not an accident and its more than a platitude just talking about it.

Vacation time for calendar year and renewed January 1. Pension increase , its LONG overdue and non-existent.

It is an amazing time. Engineering skill level is at lowest point I have seen in a couple decades. Daily parts shortages where the plant can not run a full shift and management not knowing if its the same for tomorrow. People duck and never respond to emails. Lots of CYA and hiding. Our plant is cutting resources to prosperity........lol

When NASA put things in orbit and sent men to the moon it was picking the best people for the jobs. ( No diversity and inclusion BS) ALL jobs should be filled by the best candidates regardless of race , gender , etc. Hiring a person solely based on race , gender or color is just as wrong and NOT hiring a person for the same reasons.

To be honest they should make some of the existing trades people take a skills assessment.
