Yeah, when a CAN network gets any garbage inputs it can through the whole system for a loop. Diagnostics can be very time consuming because there is not always a "I should start here" logic when several systems go nuts at once.

If the hub is designed to support the weight the studs only two jobs are to hold the wheel to the hub and transfer acceleration/braking forces to the wheel. While you may never have an issue, if you ever have a failure from overloading the studs by adding supporting vehicle and impact shocks any...

While it does not trigger CEL, it could still be a warranty voiding code, if it is only thrown for over size wheel and your rear diff explodes, no warranty. And that makes sense to me due to the extra load a taller tire puts on the 3.73 diff. Going up enough in tire size and should look to...

I'm not sure but try seeing if 265/70R17 throws the same error. I reason for suggesting this is that I know with the Ford ProCal kit they say you can configure up to that size. Perhaps the limitation is not the programmer but instead the BCM? If this is the case when using a programmer that...

So, I have the tune installed a couple weeks. Right after the install I had a trip to GA with a popup camper behind me. I like the update transmission setup and the throttle response. While I don't normally have the ProCal in the truck, if I'm towing, I found it does have a transmission temp...

I like the idea of small footprint dealers with just demo cars, not really for sale to public until the next year's demo model arrives. Lots of other countries already do it this why, the dealer is more like a gallery of what you can order.

LOL, my daughter posted something about 93 drivers and checking in on them. I just replied something along the lines of guess what octane the tune on the Ranger requires. Even better, going to Time Trail at CMP and then Sebring later this month. I hope prices drop, otherwise will be one hell of...

Times have changed. It is way easier for a manufacture to directly interact with potential customers now than was even 30 years ago, never mind 60 years ago. I'm not familiar enough with Edsel to compare how Ford tried to sell that brand compared to how Telsa is selling now though. But if your...

In my opinion, MSRP is the fair price. I walk away from anything over that. I got mine after Thanksgiving for $1k under MSRP due to incentives at the time. You said you got the Cavalier when you were 16, for all we know that was last month. Not sure it matters on new car purchase though when...

I think it would be awesome if Model e followed the Telsa direct sales model. Scamming dealers would be so pissed. I feel the dealers are the weak link in the electric buyer's expectation of easy buying. This could Ford's way to deal with that and not break any of the Ford/Ford Blue dealer...

My Jackery 100W panels are closer to 17w/sq ft if I did the math right, but I only estimated the actual panel area from overall dimensions, so it may be a little better, perhaps more like 20w/sq ft. Of course, that is the advertised output likely in a lab. In practice when aimed right on a...

As of a week ago a local dealer (Cella Ford, New Bern, NC) had a Lariat Cactus Gray Splash on the lot.

I thought there was a proven additional water protection from the cover.... As I recall there was a TSB regarding misfires, water found near the spark plugs, and no installed engine cover that the resolution on the TSB was to install the engine cover.

While I'd be interested if the towing is >=7,500lbs. I will not by buying first year, not with a new transfer case setup supporting 4A. Let the gotta be first in line folks find the issues Ford missed and then give Ford a few years to fix it, guessing around 2026-27 I'll really start to think...

Looks very interesting. Waiting to see what the US version looks like. I noticed the Watt's Linkage on the rear... I'm guessing this means rear coils and trailing arms instead of leaf springs.

Agreed, it's not a problem unless Ford put out a TSB to not do that. I'm not aware of one. I know with my RS the dealer activated global windows on mine very shortly after I got the car. About a month after that Ford sent a TSB, or something like it, to dealers stating that they are not to...

From an XLT or Lariat?

Well Wednesday, my Ford Performance Power Pack arrived and was installed by the dealer. Friday, I drove it south from NC to GA pulling a borrowed popup camper with my bike on the roof rack and got 21.8 MPG over 300+ miles. Also, on this drive it was the least stressful drive I've ever had, I...

I would consider poorly maintained forestry roads as mild off-road. There are lots of them around here in the Nuese Forest.

Once I get a few projects done in the garage I'm going to put the RS and the 84 Civic in there. The Ranger will then get the carport. But for now, it's outside with the 3 Civics, both CRXs, Continental, Corolla, CR-V and Wrangler.
