I'm pretty much OK with most of what you said. But the term limits measure is a (non-)solution to an electoral integrity problem. They (both parties) don't care what real voters think about anything because we are not a commodity of fixed supply. They (again, both parties) manufacture votes...

@LevittownFordParts.com Hello, Benny. I was in a slight traffic accident, and now I have need for a front bumper and right front wheel. The insurance quoted me a generic wheel, but my truck has the STX Special Edition package (which includes 18" black alloy wheel with machined edge) and the...

You're doing it wrong. Drink the tomato soup, glue yourself to a painting, and throw yourself into the road. Thanks for playing.

Unless you want to ride a 2 stroke...

For what it's worth, I have a small input on this subject, although I don't use FordPass. I was getting these (or similar) notifications on the Sync3 screen. The wording was slightly different. I'm going by memory here, but it said something "was shut down to save battery". It was doing it...

Oddly enough, I just had occasion to attempt defroster mode today, and it would not allow recirculate. It insisted on using outside air only. This may contribute to OP's problem. I am just going by memory, but I remember mashing the button several times, and it would not recirc. If it...

Something out of whack in the Stability Control system? I have a difficulty with my truck in accelerating out while turning, and I have been suspecting it has something to do with Stability Control. When I turn left (like at an intersection, a full 90 degree left turn), the truck will not...

MIne does the same thing. And turns down the fan after a few minutes when she starts getting cold. I have explained like she's five, ten, twelve, and I also tried some elementary control theory in sheer desperation. :) She learned how to deal with AC when SHE was the thermostat. And no dice...

Yeah. I design test equipment for industrial use, and some of the convoluted things (other) designers make users go through to avoid adding another dedicated switch is unreal. Saving $ 0.18 in hardware cost, but makes the thing so hard to use that nobody wants to use it. Stupidity...

I feel your pain. But sometimes looking at an overview of the feature set helps things make more sense. Even if it's just so you know what you want to turn off. Here's a link to the manufacturer's page for the thing. It has videos... https://www.rainbird.com/products/esp-me3-series-controllers

I stand corrected. You are probably right about that. I didn't go out to the truck and look. You could straighten those fins if you were so inclined. They make tools for that, (fin straightener / fin tool / fin comb) but the configuration of those fins makes me think the typical tools would...

Thanks for posting the Ford manual excerpt. I tried to locate mine, but I failed. I noted this paragraph (not highlighted): For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most...

I could be mistaken, but 87 octane has always been marginal in these engines. Even Ford says to run 91 for towing, unless I am misrembering (which is a distinct possibility)

Beat me to it. Good tip. I keep such a piece of hose in my tool box just for this.

You have to turn it down (Use the radio volume control) while it's ringing. It should remember the setting. Mine does.

Bottle jacks are great, but they usually don’t come with the adapters you need to lift safely. Sucks to have the truck sitting on a 3/4” diameter flat button. You can make things a lot more comfy if you get an adapter kit. They come with axle saddles or v-blocks and pinch-weld clips. Usually...

Well... If you have a look at the detailed specifications for the wet rag, the specific moisture content is defined here as ">0.01% moisture content as defined in SAE 1004-32.147"

The OEMs obviously had some input into the equation. They were basically saying, if you gotta outlaw something, it's gonna be the little trucks, but you gotta make it feasible for us to sell SOME kind of trucks. An we sell a lot of the big ones. Note that the domestic OEMs have never paid...

My previous "Ranger" It's the Mazda B3000. It was pretty great for me, but time takes a toll. It was needing paint, some transmission love, and the interior was falling apart. The driver's seat back broke, and that was all she wrote. This is the kind of truck I was hoping to get when I...
