Huh just crossed this thread and given a bunch of the posts seem to have been deleted I never put together that the A3C trans tube was... a knockoff... I saw it on a FB group and ordered one earlier today.
As a maker, who runs his own small business solving problems for other platforms...
Ahh thats an easy fix! I can dig it.
As for the lights, I may throw some security torx or something on them, but yeah from doing some searching (I should really get back to work, but this is very interesting following all the hot tips around here) and seeing the method of exploit/attack (I...
Just looked up the replacement process for the rear tail lights... so ... yeah, all they need to do is open the tail gate and good to go. Wow.
Now to find some obscure security bolts to replace the factory ones :)
It able to be mitigated with a locked hard tonneau cover or at least discouraged with that? I assume they need to get into the bed to do this? I know the BLIS tail lights on most trucks are damn expensive, I didn't realize this was a thing to steal them!
Im also reading a bit about the water leaking onto the plugs... thats an amazingly curious gap in the design!! Going to have to see whats up with my truck with that... and if its an issue, I happen to be an engineer who designs and mfgs fixes for problems like this ;)
*New anxiety unlocked - Rear Tail lights being stolen* I had a friend who mentioned the dumbshit criminals mistake the Ranger for a F150 and go and hack off what they think are cats at times off the ranger, so just figured I'd make it less appealing... Also, armor is cool right?? am I doing...
You know a guy who can get deals on ESP? I am all ears ;) I declined all the extra offers at the dealer (and just got $500 back on the extended plan I picked up on our Edge and never used)... I figured the CPO Gold 12/12000, and 7/100K would get us a few years down the road on this. And, I...
Just ordered the Auto mirror fold box from Trac, and the RCI Catalytic converter armor, and I have the 5100's in my cart, but going to get some miles on the current suspension first. Also ordering the $150 conversion for my LMS tuner to get it set on the ranger, but not going to actually put the...
It's about survival... if Ford sits on its hands and doesn't lead or try to lead in this field, Toyota, Hyundia, Kia, Chevy, Tesla, etc... are going to eat their lunch.
You may not like EVs but... they are the way forward for a VAST amount of the transportation market. Yes Gas/Diesel will...
I'm new here, but not new to the ford or car world... and ... People don't post often about everything working good on their cars, they post a LOT about how bad stuff is or any problem they have. (and often not in the most "I want to fix this" kind of way, and more of a "throw hands in the air...
Hey all!
Long time Ecoboost fan, and Ford owner… just made the jump to my first truck! We had a 2017 Edge Sport loaded and loved it… it was tuned (LMS), and had a good bit of little tweaks to it. But I found this truck near-by with only 18K miles on it. After doing some checking and reading...
