In the first place, a flush at 39K is ridiculous. I hope this was your idea and not theirs. When the engine is cold (it doesn't matter what ambient temperature is) the level in the surge tank should be anywhere from MIN to MAX. Not below MIN. Honestly, unless you are buying the premix from the...

I did the update successfully, but once again I found no difference in the actual Sync functionality. There are no added features at all and booting up the system at start up takes the same length of time. It would be nice if there was a release note attached to the download so that we knew what...

Actually that Volvo one will work. Just put it in the ignition lock (if it doesn't quite fit, just push harder) and your key that's in your pocket will work to start your car. The first time you use it you might have to use Alexa but only until she recognizes you. In a firm voice say "Alexa...

This problem has been a plague on every OEM. I had a 2002 VW Jetta that my wife insisted on driving with the seat heater on all the time. It finally did the same thing yours did but right under her ass. Hilarity ensued. I think judicious use of the heater helps longevity. My $.02

I had to work this morning so I had access to my Ford Software. Your problem has a pretty detailed pinpoint test they should follow. The message that is flashed on the dash for when the trailer is connected goes through some pretty intricate strategies before it reaches the IPC. However, as long...

If you bring your vehicle in with valid defects, I've found that the work is done with no hassle at all. If you bring your truck in and say that the weld-spatter on the exhaust hangers offends you, you might just be dissapointed in the way your concerns are handled.

I could never figure out who the hotspot is marketed at. People who don't have decent cel plans? Hot spot plans are an answer in search of a problem.

Hi Benny, I could use a code for the LB5Z-9J433-B EGR sensor.

Yes. Also, bluetooth doesn't automatically grab onto the last podcast on Spotify or the last music on Amazon Music like it did before. I have to turn bluetooth off on my phone, then turn it back on again every time. Wish I knew what was going on there. Every time there's a Sync update I keep...

The service manual says that pressure bleeding is the way to flush the system, so that's how I do it. Not sure if anything will be hurt or not if you use a vacuum bleeder or the 2 person method. Also, the manual says to use a scantool when pressure bleeding. Since I have FDRS at my shop this was...

I remember back in the day I had some of those transmissions in my diesel fleet. For that symptom the first thing we'd do would be to set the MLPS, manual lever position sensor, with a plastic gauge block at the injection pump. I bet you have to do the same thing with a gas engine. I still have...

I just turned 36K miles with my 19 Lariat. I believe that any major problems will happen during the 3/36 so I'm saving the cash. I've won this bet with every car I've owned since the 90's so even if I lose this time, I'll still be up overall.

Don't forget, our vehicles require a low viscosity brake fluid, using the same old DOT 4 from NAPA is not acceptable. Even most mechanics don't realize that this is the case for all Ford vehicles going back 10+ years. Easiest way to get the right fluid is to go straight to the dealer for it. I...

This Scotch-Lock splice will fail, and it will be corrosion that kills it. The thing is, the wire that you compromised with this thing is going to wick that corrosion from one end of the wire to the other. Instead of bright shiny copper strands, they will be brown and crusty all the way to the...

Bummer.

Did you have to modify the park sensors or the center radar unit?

I took mine off because mice liked to nest under it. No kidding. Now, no mice.
