Definitely good to have it immediately. One time, a friend of mine had a CEL code and I hooked it up in her car and turns out she just needed a new thermostat (I can't remember the code) and one time I hooked it up to a used car we looked at to buy and saw the O2 monitor is "NOT READY" so...
I got a $15 scan tool i bought years ago and been using it on several vehicles. I keep it in my primary vehicle in the passenger seat back pocket which is my Ranger now.
I think Ford wants credit score of 800 or more to get that rate. Not sure but since mine is excellent I was able to secure 0.9% 48/mo loan - I would have gotten 0% if i went for 36 month but payments are too high. I only would have to pay like $400 interest overall after if i pay the amount...
I am thinking about this:

(or Super Crew - Genuine Ford Door Sill & Rocker Panel Armor by Bushwacker - SuperCrew - VKB3Z-1613208-B | Levittown Ford...
Yeah my dealer stickers are like that also, took me a bit to get them all off. They got lots of letters in name as well as Lincoln and Mazda on each letters.
I also removed the dealer labeled frames.
I waited for a hot day and the tailgate to be warm to touch then i peeled them off with my fingers. I didn't use any thing else but they all came off ok.
I gotcha. I got quoted $599 plus tax for Line-X premium in my area. Just the idea it's custom sprayed on by someone i don't know just... well scares me. I probably wont plan on keeping this Ranger for longer than 10 years from now so bedrug it is.
