I wish they'd sell a bulk pack of these things at costco

I'm surprised nobody's posted yet about the special "swollen ford lug nut" sockets that are now widely available. (Basically sized up a little to account for the swelling, but not a full size larger.) I could not care less about how shiny my nuts are, and would always opt for good old reliable...

Yes, I used the generic this time because ford is price gouging this thing.

Cheap as long as you don't buy the sensor at Ford's current $116 MSRP or the assembly at $151! The first one I got was OEM for $12 in 2023. I guess they have to pay for all the warranty repairs somehow.

44k on it now; I think it has more to do with climate and time than miles, unless maybe a lot of highway miles can get the temps up longer to keep it drier? Once it starts going downhill it doesn't seem possible to bring it back, no matter how long/hot it runs. Would be interesting to know if...

couple of years

Contaminants don't just happen. Most likely reason for them in a 10R80? It's already eating itself.

Constant premature transmission fluid replacement is just a fancy way to piss away money. If that's what you want to spend your money on, enjoy doing you. If you've really got issues it's better to get them fixed per the TSB (one of the steps addresses the valve body specifically) rather than...

No matter how they configure it, you'll get annoyed at some point. One of my other cars switches the headlights on and dims the dash going under an overpass, then waits like 15s to go back. I prefer the behavior on the ranger.

Forget fluid changes. If you've got the defect you've got the defect and fluid won't put the pieces back together. If you don't have a problem you don't need to do anything. Your biggest issue is that you're out of the warranty period unless you got an extended warranty.

Truck started driving like crap again with low throttle, replaced the DPFE for the second time. Truck instantly drives fine again. ? Much easier this time with the host clamps I put on last time. Used the generic version this time; ford can kiss my bass, raising the price as much as they have on...

if you aren't rotating the spare through the active set I wouldn't bother with TPMS

It's 5 years or 60k miles, whichever comes first...

The issue does *not* seem to correlate to towing or fluid changes or anything else you can do--it's a design flaw that will bite you if it wants to, regardless of what folk wisdom you employ to avoid it. We have no information about the frequency of problems, so we don't know the odds of any...

It should generally turn off if climate control is active. It won't if the set temperature is very different than the cabin temperature. (That is, if it's working hard to heat/cool the engine will stay on, but if you're at about the right temperature it'll shut off automatically for S/S.) On a...

sounds like you haven't learned to control it with the brake pedal. ?‍♂️

I find it makes a noticeable difference in my MPG, and I don't want to turn it off. EPA is backing off to score political points with the vocal minority driven to irrational rage by the feature.

I think he's talking about the fact that the engine will not shut off if the truck decides it needs to run the A/C. If you turn off A/C in this situation, the engine immediately turns off. It would be nice if there was a way to tune how the truck decides whether the A/C needs to stay on but I...

No argument, just saying that getting a softer kick in the balls still isn't ideal.

$2200 for an issue that should have been a recall frankly sucks.
