I learned to drive on my dad's 92 F-250 and 90 Mark VII LSC. Whichever one was on the end of the driveway was mine for the day until I got my own... an 86 Grand Marquis for $500.
I learned stick on my stepdad's 88 Bronco II.
Since the mid 80s there's always been at least one Ford in the family.
In my '17 F-150 XL work truck, if you press the button twice very quickly, it goes into "AdvanceTrac Sport Mode" which pretty much lets the tires spin as much as you want as long as you're going in a straight line. If you start to wander more than a few degrees left or right, the traction...
There's also an option near the top to select which speakers the ESE sound comes from.
The on/off difference is amazing... with my little Kicker Hideaway at half volume, it sounded like a Subaru was in the back seat. I had gotten used to it in nearly a year of ownership but I'm so glad to have...
I used Forscan for the 1st time this weekend... among all the little things I changed, the most important one by a long way was this:
I don't know if this is new to this release, but it definitely works and my subwoofer now sounds like it's supposed to.

I've got one of these in my work truck... It's a fleet truck, so I didn't pay the $1K for it but it's really heavy duty. It's under a hard tonneau...
Something I've noticed with 3.4... For my SiriusXM presets, when I press an icon, it has the station buffered to start at the beginning of the current song. If I press the icon a second time, it clears the buffer and goes to actual part of the song that's currently playing.
This only works for...
I just drove from Chicago to Orlando and back, counted 12 Rangers along the way. Gave/received a wave or a nod from most. I saw 2 or 3 times as many Gladiators and 4 or 5 times as many Raptors. I kinda enjoy having something that's pretty rare on the roads.
I just replaced the muffler only with this Gibson one. It was on sale for $60 when I bought it. I'll eventually get around to making a video, but it's basically a little louder than stock under throttle, nearly the same under warm idle. No drone. I'm happy with it. Local shop welded it up with a...
I've been running 35 front, 32 rear like a lot of you (FX4, P265/65-17). I'm going to be taking a 4500 mile road trip, all highway. Would you experts recommend upping the pressure a few psi for better highway fuel economy?. I've always done this in the past on my cars, but this is my 1st truck...
To hold me over until I do a proper exhaust, I poked mine out with a long piece of pipe. If I listen really closely, I think I hear an ever-so-slightly deeper tone, but it could be my imagination. I guess it's worth a try if you have 20 minutes and a 15mm deep socket.
Sidebar: I was surprised...
I've always used these on my past v8 cars, but haven't put one on a turbo 4 banger. Does anyone run one? I've searched all over youtube for a sound clip of what it would sound like on a 4 cylinder Ecoboost but can't find anything.
For $33 I might just give it a try. The ones I always used were...
I ran the power wire directly to the battery through the grommet on the firewall at the top of the passenger footwell and grounded it at one of the child seat brackets on the back wall. I tapped the speakers from the loom at the base of each b-pillar. I didn't run a signal turnon because it has...
The washers behind the latch really helped with mine. It also made an annoying rattle from my Kicker Hideaway magically disappear. Thanks for the info guys.
FYI, just purchased a Kicker Hideaway 11HS8 off sonicelectronix for $209 ($222 w/tax). It's normally $270. If you look at it on a mobile device, it's listed at $270 but on a desktop, the price is hidden unless you type in your name. Type it in and it reveals the price to be $209.
