  1. Great Deals Thread

    FYI Project Farm just did a review on tire pressure gauges and this one was rated pretty well, especially for a cheap gauge.
  2. 2.3L Ecoboost on Conventional vs. Synthetic Oil

    I think many people confuse a twin turbo with a twin SCROLL turbo (which is what our engines have).
  3. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    I really don't think it was too much draw - I think the adapter just shorted out intermittently which is what blew the fuses. Both my phone and my friends phone have been plugged into these ports quite a bit with no issues. With that said, it is a good reminder to check specs of a port before...

    I thought I had but I obviously did it wrong.... :) I'm just glad it was something simple and the cause makes sense.
  5. Thunking and shuddering at the dealer….

    It seems like this is a trend with newer vehicles. The rear brakes are used for things like traction control, etc so in many cases they wear out before the fronts do, unlike how it used to be. The rears would last a LONG time. I will be replacing my rear rotors very soon for this same reason.
  6. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    So..... I feel like kind of an idiot, but this is fixed now. The issue was simply a blown fuse. (two of them, actually - one for each port) My theory on what happened was something shorted in the adapter in the right socket, which blew that fuse - when I swapped the adapter to the left port...

    I re-did the BCM self test with the parking brake off and the headlight switch off. It completed with no errors. I got a new adapter today and tried it. No change - I also tried this same adapter in another car and it worked fine. I checked tonight and the drivers window moves normally. I...
  8. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    I just tried a master reset (which was kind of a pain since I needed to re-set up everything), but it didn't change anything at all. I also disconnected the battery for about 10 mins - no change. A new adapter came today - no change. I've also tested this new adapter and cable in 2 vehicles...
  9. DIY Black Headliner Project

    That is kind of part of the weird part about them. The bottom of the inside of the sole has all these bumps - they don't look comfortable but when you wear them they are. I'd suggest just going somewhere that sells them and try them on and see what you think. They are incredibly ugly, IMO...
  10. DIY Black Headliner Project

    I don't find them to be sweaty feeling since they are so open. I think the best way to see is to try them for yourself. They are one of the oddest footwear I've ever seen, and just looking at them you wouldn't think they are comfortable, IMO.
  11. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    I did that as well. From what I understand it basically resets any data associated with the BMS and also the install date of the battery.
  12. Tech electronic issues or sensor issues on 5g trucks problems. Repair etc

    I don't think that is really an issue, more of a known thing when they freeze - I've seen the same thing on my Ranger and also our C-Max. It can also happen if they get too dirty.
  13. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    I just replaced the battery a few weeks ago.
  14. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    I've been thinking of that.... The only thing is some evidence of chewing on the battery insulator blanket but it isn't bad. Hoping it doesn't come to that but 'm starting to think it is a bigger possibility - if so, it is beyond my skills I think. I will need to get a pro involved.
  15. Replacement Brake Pad Recommendations?

    I finally was able to look at my rear rotors and they have the same cracking issue that others have reported which is (I'm sure) the cause of my shudder during braking. I ended up ordering Powerstop rotors and pads - see how that works for me.
  16. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    The adapter worked fine in my wife's car, and I did try another adapter which did not work in the truck (I didn't try that one in my wife's car). I've got a new adapter on order and will do some more experimenting on Monday and report back. Thanks for the very detailed suggestions!
  17. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    Well, my phone behaves the same as his did, and if I take the same adapter and same cable into my wife's car, it works as expected. Something goofy is going on....
  18. DIY Black Headliner Project

    I tell you what - Crocs are butt ugly but they are comfortable - and LIGHT (I love them when I go backpacking). A good example of function over form.
  19. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    OK, so here is what I did: Fired up FORScan - connected to truck Did a BCM Reset (I didn't see the self test at first) - no change in behavior Did a BCM Self Test - it found the following DTCs: C1D00:11 - Parking Brake apply switch - circuit short to ground B1438:11 - Autolamp On Input -...
  20. RESOLVED - Anyone ever seen this?

    I tried another one and it did the same thing - I also tested it in my wife's car and it worked.
