required, check manual
recommended, basic - oil/filter, caf, engine air filer. Diffs, trans, transfer case. Fuel system cleaner in gas, spark plugs. Maybe a brake flush or poor man's brake flush (reservoir drain/fill). I need to look more into lubing my driveshaft...
I have the Curt Echo and it works just fine, can adjust settings anytime. Pixel 6
It looses connection sometimes but connects right back. I suspect not the phone or Echo, but my 22 year old trailer plug connection instead
I don't use Android Auto, just regular Bluetooth
There is also this
5 min install, just pull the switch and plug in line

I use tow mode sometimes but I find the downshifting too aggressive, I just lock out gears when I need to downshift or use Sport mode
However, I have the Livernois tow tune on all the time...
Yea was just going to say all the little circular and odd shaped holes and gaps under the top rails
Even with my tonneau cover and the tailgate seal some gets in. I found a lot of dust gets in along the bottom of the front bulkhead. I didn't want to seal it so I just lay a moving blanket down...
Yea either mine wasn't greased enough from the factory or was washed out from off-roading and pressure washing. All four corners were almost dry and were causing my calipers to stick and created hot spots and warping because they weren't cooling down
Fronts were caught too late and I had to do...

Looks worse than it is
And general headache from all the regulatory BS
OP - Livernois FTW, same as Ford Performance but you get the tech support should you have any issues/questions
OP- axle seal leak, looks like mine. Oil seeps and attracts dirt and can look worse than it actually is. Mine was, and continues to drip on the rim
Back when it was new in 2019, I took it in several times. But no solution
Maybe now there is
However, I just let it go and pressure wash it...
Spliff is an American term too. Cannabis mixed with tobacco
Also this whole fuel in oil is real, just not a problem. For these DI turbo engines is normal. Just change your oil often
First 44k miles I drove it often, long distance drives, and changed oil often ~6months or whenever I got to...
OP - From your description, it sounds like you have a stiff boot keeping the lever from going all the way down - I'm sure winter in NY is worse than CA, and even I have this problem of it not going all the way down when it is cold/stiff. No light like you have though. One day when it has...
