  1. Calling out Frenchy and his Variable Voltage Post

    You can't "win" an argument on the internet.
  2. Fog Lights: Essential or Outdated? Let’s Chat About Winter Visibility!🌟

    I mostly just see people driving around at all times with their fog lights on, blinding other drivers.
  3. Mice in Heater

    Yes, Ford saved approximately 5 cents per truck by not putting a screen on the air intake under the hood. It was a big win for whoever got the bonus.
  4. The last straw?

    I think you may have a future doing QC on $60k trucks for Ford! ?
  5. The last straw?

    it's not the janky fix, it's that they've done it for a decade as a dealer TSB instead of just fixing it at the factory. that's just a lack of fucks to give at ford hq.
  6. The last straw?

    Look for TSB 22-2104. Don't know if there's a newer one, for a long time Ford updated it every year to add the current year (rather than fixing the actual problem). "Some 2013-2018 c-max, 2013-2020 fusion/mkz, 2013-2022 escape, 2015-2018 focus, 2015-2019 mkc, 2015-2022 edge/f150/mustang...
  7. The last straw?

    There was something called the ranger overseas, but the frame is different, the body is different, the engine is different, the transmission is different, the steering wheel is on the other side...I guess the trim around the controls in the center console is the same, but not much else. It would...
  8. Battery died today...

    I went with costco, just check the sizing (different for lariat).
  9. Can Navigation be added on?

    it seems to work for everybody not using a vpn
  10. Can Navigation be added on?

    reset everything then start over on setting it up. the vpn probably screwed up the pairing.
  11. Can Navigation be added on?

    wireless android auto and vpns don't work together, you'll need to pick one or the other. (I can't imagine picking the vpn but to each his own.)
  12. Battery died today...

    I just replaced mine at 4.5 years. No specific indications that it was end of life, but going into the cold season I didn't want to wake up on a camping trip and find it dead. As others have mentioned, they seem to go from working to not working with no warning these days. ASS rarely worked due...
  13. How to tone down glare on touch screen?

    No, it's just shy of being a safety hazard. whoever likes to put shiny things on the dashboard should be fired. On my todo list is rigging some kind of visor to go over the screen so the bezel doesn't blind me when the sun is just right.
  14. New tires - I’m in love

    They're all overkill. The ranger has a rear axle weight rating somewhere around 3500 pounds. That means you need on the order of 1800 pounds per tire. To actually need an E rated tire you need to be driving an F250.
  15. Max Tongue Weight & Weight Distribution Hitches

    sorry, you're right; it technically only reduces the payload, but that often does affect how much payload is left for tongue weight if you're already near the payload capacity. the point I was trying to make while rushing over the details is that the WDH doesn't magically make anything...
  16. Max Tongue Weight & Weight Distribution Hitches

    The WDH will actually increase tongue weight because the WDH has weight itself.
  17. replacing DPFE,, without special tools??

    ditto. replaced with a worm clamp so the next one will be easy peasy.
  18. Major hit to confidence in my dealership

    And this is why I don't get as incensed as some over Ford not preemptively recalling transmissions--there's a very good chance that letting dealership service departments screw with them will cause more problems than it could possibly solve.
  19. Dealer said it can’t be done?

    That's irrelevant: the specific concern is that AEB will activate, causing the truck to brake without braking the trailer. At best this could cause poor braking performance, at worst it could jackknife the trailer, etc. This was not a concern before AEB. (But, as I said before, I question how...
