    North American crude is mostly the light sweet, low sulphur type which is also very easy to refine.
    The unfortunate part is that most  of the refineries are set up to process the heavier less sweet crude

    oil that’s normally imported from the Middle East.
     

    We all hope for true oil independence but I fear it’s still a ways off…..

     

    Don't forget Venezuela....their crude needs more refining due to it's higher sulfur content.

    I have a 2016 f350 Lariat, platnium edition pickup with an automatic transmission. Randomly when I start it, the transmission will go from 1st right up to 5th before I move.  Has anyone had this happen and can anyone tell me if it's a electronic or a mechanical problem?

     

    .....annnnnnnd, what did the transmission shop and/or dealer say?

    My first car was the Pintos twin brother Mercury Bobcat.

    I prayed for it to start every day, especially if it was damp outside.

    Just a hunch, but my guess is the 6.7L Gas Cummins will crater similar to when GM diesel-fied the 350 Oldsmobile motor back in the late 70's, early 80's. It may be a good diesel, but it don't think it will translate to a good gas motor. Only my opinion.

    Not to mention it's a direct response to one of the main criticism's EVs have. That they don't hold up well when exposed to a wide array of diverse conditions and terrains. This shows that EVs can handle anything a reasonable person is gonna throw at them. It's not exactly exciting news, but it's crucial to start to more actively push back against the misinformation on EVs if brands want to start selling more of them. 

     

    This kind of publicity is nothing new for Ford....

    ....This is ridiculous!! The Factory workers caused this issue because they wanted more money so I got a $90k lemon!! Then, Ford gives them what they want & I'm still stuck with THEIR subpar work!!

     

     

    .....This is Ford Motor Company's fault PERIOD!!

     

     

     

    .....Thanks for letting me vent!!

     

    As always, it is sometimes good to vent - but you are blaming the workers for an issue that even you admit is FoMoCo's fault. I hope you get your situation rectified but no one would blame you if you went to the GMC dealership and gave them some biz.

    Unifor Kept in Dark After Ford EV Production Delay Reports

    The fact that Ford isn’t denying this rumour hints at the possibility that changes are being considered.

     

    Sure, the demo work will probably continue but I wonder if Ford is planning to hedge its bets and develop

    the new OAC as a multi vehicle plant - continue the 3-row BEV even if delayed but revive the canned

    CD4 Edge/ Nautilus evolution with modified floor pan to  accept hybrid batteries….less changes than C2?

    (was this part of the previous plan before the BEVs were transferred to OAC?)

     

    ^^^^^^^ Oakville guys, see if you can find out anything through UNIFOR regarding the plans 

    before for reassigned the BEVs to Oakville, just a hunch but I think the plan was evolved CD4s.

     

    CD4 is a dead man walking. Any future development would move to C2.
