Major Truck Recall: Lights Out!

PACCAR just recalled over 55,000 Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks because of headlight issues—yep, dim or flickering lights that could make night driving risky. Plus, some lift axles might move unexpectedly. If you drive one of these models (check the list!), you’ll want to get your software updated ASAP. The fix is free, but there’s no word yet on when notifications are going out. Stay safe out there! #Cars #CarOwnership #TruckRecall

Ford’s Backup Camera Drama—Again!

Ford’s at it again with another recall—this time, nearly 200,000 Bronco Sports are in the hot seat because their backup cameras can totally freeze up! Imagine shifting out of reverse and your camera just...stays stuck. Not great for parking. The culprit? A SYNC 3 software bug that messes with memory and settings. If you’ve got a 2021-2023 Bronco Sport, you’ll need a software update at the dealer. Ford’s had 88 recalls this year—yikes! Anyone else feel like their car’s basically a smartphone now? #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall

Why Oil Filter Size Actually Matters

Ever thought 'close enough' is fine for oil filters? Turns out, using the wrong size can secretly mess up your engine—think slow leaks, weird oil pressure, and even long-term damage. Even if it fits, it might not seal right or filter properly. The fix? Always double-check your car’s make and model before buying, and don’t be shy about asking for help at the parts store. A few extra minutes now could save you a ton of headaches (and cash) later! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarMaintenance

Swapping Car Batteries? Read This First!

Ever thought any car battery would do? Turns out, using the wrong one can totally mess up your ride. From frying your dashboard with the wrong voltage to not even fitting in the tray, it’s more complicated than it looks. And don’t get me started on reversed terminals or not enough cold cranking amps—your car might not even start! Always double-check size, voltage, and those terminals before swapping. Trust me, it’s way less drama than dealing with a dead car in the cold. #Cars #CarOwnership #CarHacks

No Degree? This CEO Says, 'No Problem!'

Crash Champions’ CEO Matt Ebert never went to college—and neither did 83% of his 10,000+ employees. Yet, his car repair chain exploded 130x in revenue over five years, now pulling in $2.75B! Most techs make over $100K a year, way above the national average. Ebert’s secret? Hands-on training, apprenticeships, and valuing real-world skills over degrees. Proof you don’t need a diploma to crush it! #Cars #CarOwnership #CareerGoals

Ford’s Massive Recall: Is Your Ride on the List?

Ford just recalled over 850,000 cars and SUVs because a faulty fuel pump could make your engine stall—yikes! If you drive a 2021-2023 Ford or Lincoln (think F-150, Mustang, Bronco, Explorer, Expedition, Navigator, Aviator, and a bunch of Super Duty trucks), you might be affected. Warning signs? Rough running, misfires, or that dreaded check engine light. Ford hasn’t fixed it yet, but watch your mailbox for a recall letter. Stay safe and check if your car’s on the list! #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall

Why UHP Tires Are a Game Changer

Ever wondered what makes those ultra high performance (UHP) tires so special? They’re not just for show—they grip better, stop faster, and handle heat like champs. Plus, they’re built for those wild top speeds (think 186 mph!). If you’ve got a sporty ride or even a beefy SUV, UHP tires mean better cornering and control, rain or shine. They’re pricier than regular tires, but if you love driving hard, they’re totally worth it! #Cars #CarOwnership #CarEnthusiast

Ford Recall Alert: Is Your Ride on the List?

Ford just announced a massive recall—over 850,000 cars in the US—because a faulty fuel pump could make your engine stall out while driving. That means models like the Bronco, Explorer, F-150, and some Lincolns from 2021-2023 might be at risk. No fix is ready yet, but Ford will send out letters to owners soon. If your check engine light pops on or your car feels sluggish, it could be a warning sign. Warm weather and low fuel make it worse! #Cars #CarOwnership #FordRecall
