  1. Cleaning brown off of tires

    FYI, Project Farm did a review on tire dressing today, and one of the ones that doesn't have a shine but worked really well was Jay Leno's tire dressing. He didn't have Aero Costmetics Rubber care in the review though.
  2. Ford Pass Update

    I drove my truck this morning and now the location is (mostly) correct rather than some random location on my last drive. I guess this is what we can expect now - it works when it feel like working....
  3. Ford Pass Update

    Yeah, mine appears to be at some random spot on a trip I took on Monday (last time I drove it). I'm tempted to get in and start it up for a minute to see if that triggers it to update - but given what you saw, I'm guessing it won't.
  4. Ford Pass Update

    Seems like it must be working - I was able to do a remote start with FordPass and it is showing the correct fuel level. I'm not really all that worried about it. It has always worked in the past - I'm pretty sure it is something stupid with the new app.
  5. Ford Pass Update

    It says mine updated yesterday but still shows 5.4 - but now I see both percent and miles to empty. My location is still all wacked out though.
  6. Ford Pass Update

    Don't feel bad - I'm on 5.4 on Android and mine only shows % as well. Even weirder is that while the location used to work fine, now it shows it somewhere about 15 miles away - I drove thru there yesterday, but don't know why it would show that being its location, even though it knows it is...
  7. Transmission Issues

    I'm glad you were able to get #4 out without too much trouble - those do look very tired.
  8. Bad shudder when braking...

    The snow was deep (over a foot deep) and traction was incredibly bad. I guess I'm not a good enough snow driver - I was struggling to make progress which is when I enabled snow mode and trail control which was quite honestly amazing. It wasn't until we stopped when we both smelled something...
  9. Bad shudder when braking...

    I've been having a bit of a shudder when braking - more pronounced when downhill - nothing in the steering wheel which makes me think rear rotors. I have a suspicion of what caused it - One winter I experimented with snow mode - it worked GREAT in some deep snow, but when we stopped something...
  10. FORScan Crowdsourced Wiki

    Just to clarify, x86 is the 32 bit version, x64 is the 64 bit version, so for Windows 2000 and most XP versions they would be supported since they are 32 bit. The note is just saying they don't support the ARM version of Windows.
  11. Battery change ???s

    I finally got time to look at this - I think I found it and nothing looks wrong. All wires intact. Since everything seems to be working fine I've decided I'm not going to worry about it....
  12. Why Trucks are getting WORSE

    Follow the money...... That is how corporations have been able to push all these ridiculous price increases on people - and the marketing departments make people think they can't live without any of it. A perfect storm.
  13. Why Trucks are getting WORSE

    Well, as with most things it isn't one thing - it is a combination of things, the EPA being one. But it is also automakers desire for higher profitability and consumers preference for "bigger is better". I totally believe that the corporate push for profitability at all costs is to blame for a...
  14. Pull A Tree Stump?

    I"m pretty sure you were being sarcastic here, but speed and momentum are your friends until they aren't. Seen too many videos of chains snapping and rebounding into the rear window. IMO, pulling a stump with any vehicle is a dangerous thing. Its why stump grinders were invented. I'm cheap...
  15. How much power does a garage door opener draw

    FYI, we recently got a new garage door and opener installed and we opted for the "wall mounted" opener. It has a built in battery backup and is INCREDIBLY quiet. We absolutely love it after having a chain/belt drive opener all these years. I concur with others that you should get a...
  16. Buyer's Remorse - Requesting Advice

    My son has an F-150 and the interior is HUGE - it is nice, but I much prefer my Ranger for what I use it for. If I had an F-150 I would not be able to go the places I go - it is just too wide. I have friends with full size trucks and they can't go the places I can - OR, they can, but they get...
  17. Buyer's Remorse - Requesting Advice

    One thing to consider - not sure where you go off roading, but an F150 may have a harder time accessing some of the narrower roads and trails. Just something to keep in mind.
  18. 2019 Ranger Engine made sludge

    With Air Conditioning and heat!
  19. Getting Rid of Landline Wiring

    I'm not sure if it is different in Virginia, but anything on the outside of the "box" on the house belongs to the phone company. I would assume ripping it down would be considered at least vandalism, but since most phone companies seem to be abandoning POTS lines, they would probably not care...
  20. Don’t want to get banned but…

    Honestly, if I was going to spend 60+ grand on a truck, I'd go buy a Ranger Raptor instead. I'm so so on the looks, but the issues that seem to keep arising on the new Tacoma would concern me, let alone the price tag.
