Just circling back to this for you because I believe I have an answer for you - there is a 20GB hard drive that is in the truck for the Sync3 firmware, and the unit is just big enough to be able to download and install updates, etc. I'm not sure where you saw it described as "media storage" but...

Wait, wait... your fan sounds like a squirrel getting chopped up? Mine sounds like "Whirrrrrrrrrr Woooosh." Like a fan. It kind of makes my truck sound like a big 3-axle semi tractor for a minute. Maybe make a recording for us because it may be loose or something may actually be wrong with it.

I argue the only way to truly run this as an "experiment" is to run tanks of gas through a dyno... As I said many posts ago, simply fueling two different tanks with different fuel and then driving around town, even if you can microscopically copy your route, there will be too many environmental...

"Sheesh there's a lot of GM ads in Motor Trend these days..." :wink: Bless you Tom, I can tell you it meant a lot to him. My dad cut me a similar deal with a 1991 Ranger some years ago and I think about the kick start it gave me all the time now.

Disclaimer: I do not have this card I looked into it just to see the offerings and it seems fairly low/middling at a flat .03 cents per gallon rewards. I know there are bonuses and whatnot but you've got to really ignore those and look at your base rewards. For example my Wells Fargo Active...

Thanks for checking in Phil. Was just thinking about you and was going to post in your farewell thread. This was a treat. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I too hope you get lots of Ranger goodies under your tree.

Until a wise Lariat owner chimes in - you can also hit the icon in the lower left hand side of your Android Auto default view - it looks like 3 rows of dots. Tap that and it takes you to your app list. Tap the “Ford” app and that takes you back to Sync. Probably more tapping than you were...

Fitz nailed it. Unfortunately “the best” and “cost effective” won’t run together in the auto transport sector. DEFINITELY spoof a google phone number before you reach out to a broker if you do. I also think you should fly and drive but that’s just me. It’s a really fun way to take ownership of...

Barry really came in and dropped a bomb and left without further comment. ? I'm still curious Barry if you're talking about your own issues or the issues you read about on the forum? I heard a guy say once that with a Ford - you either get a great one or one with issues. There's not much...

By using the word "dread" I'm picturing the OP in his garage with his hand on the key in the ignition, just before twisting it, repeating to himself "It's just a noise... it's just a noise.... it's just a noise... it's just a noise.... it can't hurt you..... just start the truck......."

I think the only reason I'd like to have a Ford rep on here is to establish a customer relationship and be able to have issues escalated due to said relationship. Otherwise I can make my own phone calls.

My hypothesis is it's a volume decision purely because they're going to need to justify paying someone to sit at a computer terminal all day doing this. Unfortunately the effort does not pay dividends for most companies unless their social teams are deployed strategically (I.e. following...

@subquark Generation after generation of ER visits. Is that the hospital at the bottom?

Yeah I'd also recommend that you just keep the phone plugged in and use the home button on the steering wheel to access climate control and Sirius. If you need Android Auto back - you'll notice there is a new icon added to the bottom Sync3 menu that says "Android Auto" and you can tap that to...

As a long time Android user I can tell you that the two contact lists are your "Google Contacts" as well as a Contact list that is kept on the Phone - it is not Yahoo. When you set up your Android devices you will notice there is a step that asks whether you'd like to maintain two lists or use...

I'm not sure if this makes sense or not; but to me it seems if we were seeing huge variances in efficiency from 87 to 91/93 octane it would not speak very well to the performance of the engine. We shouldn't be seeing 3-4 mpg differences from fuel octane rating alone. There are so many freaking...

@Guardian_Actual it's important to remember that the Instant MPG is literally an instantaneous readout. You can use it to ballpark whether you are using the skinny pedal too much or too little and adjust accordingly, but the readouts are fairly useless data otherwise. You need to factor all of...

@Doc your post about this was so nonchalant I had to read it a couple times to make sure you were talking about the present and not the past. Holy heck. Very happy you're posting with both hands.

Just finished watching. @quangdog - hats off to you, this is very well produced - from a peer that works in video production. Thank you very much for this.
