I think one thing for the OP to consider is interest rates. If (when) the Fed increases by another 3/4 points and rates jump how much more money are you paying for the life of the loan as opposed to any negotiated savings now? If rates jump just another 1% you may be in a wash situation.
When I bought mine last November it all came down to future prospects. I actually wanted another year or two out of the F150 before I traded in. But chip shortages, post pandemic profit recuperation (ie stripping parts), trade in value compared to new market value, and interest rates forced...
yeah there is no way short of parking in deep water too keep them out of the engine bay. They could nest also in the front wheel wells towards the cab. There are also holes from the wheel wells into that area.
I'd rather limit any activity outside the interior if at all possible. I do...
I ended up using some aluminum drywall patch. The sticky side really helps positioning the pieces and holding in place while it gets taped. up. Cleaned the area with alcohol and used aluminum tape to hold in place and seal the edges. Gonna be a pain to remove the tape when a more permanent...
A printed screen piece there should be a fairly simple exercise. The panel is magnetic so a pair of 20lb Nd magnets should be about right to hold into place. Just make the insert so it slides into the holes and overlaps the openings. That way there is no side to side movement and just a...
For those curious where the two openings are located.
Remove the (8) clips that hold the plastic shroud at the rear of the engine bay towards the windshield.
You'll see two openings on the firewall that are approximately 5" x 3". The openings beyond the openings.
View(s) from engine bay...
That is my plan for when I get back to Phoenix in the fall. I don't bring my printer back and forth. I'm thinking a two-piece design. One would snap into the existing oval hole(s) on the firewall. The second would snap into the first piece. Between the two some sort of wire mesh that is...
I need @P. A. Schilke to get me the address of the engineer responsible for the either not including mesh on the holes or the programmer for the recirculation door. I got some mice I want to deliver then I'm pretty sure there would be a future design change.
My neighbor buys the cheap sheets and soaks them in peppermint oil. The sheets tend to absorb the oil well.
I just went ahead while I was at the hardware store and picked up a few boxes of Grandpa Gus repellent pouches again. They worked great last year but I didn't have much of an issue...
Fortunately the nest was on the cabin filter so there was no need to go searching. I sucked out the vents last night and nothing in there. The fat gal was in the trap this morning, thankfully got her before she had youngin's in the vehicle. I'll trap again tonight and tomorrow to make...
If you lift the hood the plastic shroud across the top of the firewall against the window you will see two oval holes that lead to the interior of the vehicle. These two holes are approximately 3" wide by 2" tall. If you lift the corner by the passenger side, remove a clip or two, shine a...
Why didn't Ford program the A/C recirculation door to always close when key is in the off position!!!
The door I'm talking about is the door above the cabin filter behind the glove box that leads to the other side of the firewall. Any bugs, mice, hell a fat squirrel could fit through there as...
No Siri is off for both "Hey Siri" and lock screen. So I have to physically push the side button to activate.
Only thing that makes sense to me is if there was a store display with NFC, which I'm doubting but could easily go check. Or the bad....that they do listen in on the microphone.
Doesn't mean I'm wrong.
Recently went on a trip into town to pick up a pair of light hiking boots and boat shoes at North 40 since idiot me forgot to pack anything but my Keen work/hike boots which weigh a ton. Super comfortable, durable, and will last forever...but weigh a ton.
Now I know IG...
