I thought the wording on this NHTSA announcement sounded weird. Do they not consider valve breakage engine failure? "Ford announced a recall on 90,736 vehicles that sport either a 2.7L or 3.0L Nano EcoBoost engine. Engine intake valves could break while driving, which would increase the risk of...

I was trying to get a little extra sleep because I had a long day ahead, going to a late football game. I even had ear plugs in. Suddenly I woke to an extremely loud almost explosion-like sound. I thought what the holy crap was that? I look out the bedroom window and saw two plumes of smoke...

It happened again! This time I parked further away, and even had another vehicle park beside me which made me feel fairly safe. Then as I was just leaving my parking spot, THUMP! F**k F**k F**k! Right on a freakin' seam too. Damn it! This damn frisbee golf course has a serious design flaw, a...

Two incidents today, one totally my fault, the other a stray frisbee golf disc. Negotiating a tight turn in a parking lot, I hear a nasty loud scrape noise. I swiped a concrete pole base. Luckily the running bar took the brunt of the damage, saving the rear door and fender. A little paint would...

So this morning i was parking in the hospital parking garage ahead of my routine cardiologist check up. I chose an end spot way on the opposite end of the stairs/elevators. I had a few minutes to kill and as I was just sitting there, a guy in a Ram got the same idea and started pulling in...

So we have not been using a land line phone for years. But it occurred to me the other day, we still have the phone line running from the nearby utility pole, over our driveway, along the gutter and down the side of the house to the big ugly plastic junction box. The phone company has changed...

We recently spent a week on the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. It was awesome! Went through six locks sailing through Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama.

My wife's 2019 Edge is in for transmission work. They offered this 2019 F150 for a loaner now, or wait until something smaller was available. Since we're leaving for vacation tomorrow, she opted for the F150 and they will have her Edge for at least an entire week to fix the trans while we're...

My wife's 2019 Edge started having some bucking while driving. She took it in and they reflashed the TCU which didn't seem to help. We are currently waiting for them to procure a loaner and schedule a transmission specialist. They think they may have to replace it. It's still under warranty...

I noticed these hook-like things behind the seat. It does not appear that they are in use for anything.

Last thing I wanted to check before my trip to Ohio tomorrow was the spare tire pressure. Then I noticed this in the passenger rear tire. F**K! The tires have just shy of 3k on them, and the screw is not very big, so I don't have any reason to believe in penetrated thru. It hasn't been losing...

What do you all think of the changes to the Ford app? I don't miss the press and hold requirement to unlock, lock or start. Only 2 tabs at the bottom though to access anything.

Not sure if it was my fault or the fact he forced himself in front of me. There was a lot of space behind me if he just waited.

And I was just praising my dealer. About 2k miles ago I had the truck in for new tires and oil change. Today I was washing it and noticed these fairly deep scratches on one of the wheels. One pic is with my hand behind it because the phone was having a hard time focusing. I remember when I got...

So after hearing how easy it was to program a third key, I bought a cheap fob on Ebay. I also read it was pretty reasonable to get it cut. So I went to my local key and lock place (not many around here for some reason) and they charged me $50 just to cut it. They guy said something about having...
