I was just about ready to tune my truck with Livernois but this thread may have spooked me into staying safe with the ford tune kit. I know it’s basically a Livernois, but it’s a different customer service portal. Most products these days the customer service can be make or break. Surprising...

I wrote a longer post but felt it wasn’t as sympathetic as I’d like. First off, OP, I’m sorry to hear your truck had the issues it did and you got stuck with the bill. No one wants that. That just plain sucks. that being said, i agree with Duke here. My warranty ends in July. I’m keeping the...

good link. There was an F-150 I was eyeballin before employee pricing. Once the promotions rolled out the price went UP by just about the amount quoted in that article. I really hate how ford manages their deals and incentives. Intentionally obfuscating stuff so that I’m only ever disappointed...

OP you described exactly the situation i had. no popping, clicking, or anything but no matter what i changed on the thermostat there was a discrepancy between what i had on the driver's side and what my wife had on the passenger's side. HVAC box or actuator was boogered. ford had to pull the...

initially didn't open this thread because i thought it was another generic raptor post. decided to read through.... i did learn a few things along the way tho!

one of my many frustrations is how tediously long of a time I take to purchase my vehicles. I hem and haw over it like a politician, and analyze the price into oblivion. Then some knuckle dragging rock herder drools his way into a dealership and just impulse buys the friggin thing and I’m...

I love the looks of this thing but messing with the trim on the a-pillar airbag area scares the crap outta me. Looks cool tho. Maybe one day.

yep, just tested this morning per your instructions there. First draw on the dipstick I didn’t see anything, so I reinserted the dipstick and tried a second time. There was transmission fluid on the very tip of the dipstick. Barely so. Again, thanks this is funny to me because I was attempting...

Ah thanks! Appreciate you and @Stevedbvik1 for all the tips. As well as your efforts in the image of the dipstick at temps. I’m hoping this quick record of my experience encourages others to invest in this product. This whole process has been made possible by knowledge gained from the MBS...

well I’ll be. I am not terribly patient, for better or worse, so I got my MacBook all fixed up and running windows again. Got Forscan up and running and connected so I could see live temp data. after a 30 minute drive home at highway speeds the transmission was at 190 degrees F. So still a bit...

good note. Got some rainy days ahead. Might use em to get the MacBook in a good place with windows so I can use Forscan. Much appreciated!

I don’t know the temp exactly, but it was operating temp. Just shy of the midpoint on the temp gauge where it maxes out and holds during normal operation. EDIT: I do have an OBDII cable, but would need to get my old MacBook set up with bootcamp and figure out Forscan to pull that exact temp...

FINALLY DONE. Ordered the MBS stick like 9+ months ago and it’s sat in my garage. Today I had the time and temps were high 50s and cloudy so I went for it. Followed the instructions for the most part, but I did two things different. 1. I have ford’s maintenance plan so on the last visit I had...

DZ, this one seems like it really comes down to what phase of life you're in. there are huge pros to either choice. the two trucks are actually similar enough in capability that neither choice offers a lot of downside/regret potential. i'm not going to make any financial assumptions, but if the...

I have a 2018 4Runner SR5 Premium and my 2019 Ranger XLT. The Ranger is actually more feature laden than the 4Runner and the Ford seats are just dramatically better than the Toyota seats. I’m not sure if you’ve lived with your 4Runner in heat yet, OP, but maaaaan I hate those softex seats...

I think motorcycles are an interesting case study here because their level of competition is further developed on a global scale. One of the internet’s best motorcycle channels made a good video. So even China has to eventually build to a price and there will be trade offs.

If it wasn’t already stated, I strongly suspect this lady was texting and driving. No brakes. Even in a lifted truck she should’ve seen the other car. Looks like distracted driving to me.

Calling it an F-100 isn’t a terrible idea. Offer a “Ranger” trim that is offroad focused. It just might work!

Ayyy it’s a thread where my line of work finally comes into play! if the contracting officer and the acquisition plan is well thought out, it’ll have the correct contract type to hold their feet to the fire. https://www.acquisition.gov/far/part-46 Ford and GM probs not gonna like the latent...

maaan.. if it isn't these recalls it's the dealer/ford games. it's as if someone at ford gets some sick pleasure out of watching people play these games. got an advertisement from a dealer for an f-150. $11k off, and a $3k customer loyalty rebate on top of the $3k.. or so i thought. when i...
