Would only replace rotors if out of tolerance (unlikely at 50k), deep gouges, pulsing, hot spots. Not just because of a pad change
Save yourself the money, it does not "need" to be done. If you experience something like the above, by all means
OP, probably time for replacement, your call
Mine finally needed replacement today. Hard to start first time. Had all the usual warning signs prior. Just didn't want to be stranded
Build date 4/19, 49.6k miles. Regularly sits for 1-2 weeks at a time. Normal driving, extended idling offloading...
At first I thought this guy was yanking our chain
Condensation draining/dripping is normal, the more you let it idle the more it will drip until it is warm
Mine drips almost enough to start filling a glass since I am on the ethanol...
OP-
The repair you had done stabilized the crack only, from cracking further and debris/water penetrating it over time
It was a structural repair, not cosmetic. Cosmetic you need to replace the whole windshield for $$$$
Yes it is a quick job, uses a UV cured resin. Price is on the high side...
Get a second opinion or measure them yourself
I found my caliper slides to be underlubed or washed away from me pressure washing it and it caused drag on the brakes and premature wear. I don't believe that to be your issue but good to check if you are going to be pulling it apart yourself...
Intercooler makes a heck of a difference preventing heat soak and consistent boost especially when it is hotter out or towing/elevation
The entire ecoboost family of engines is known for becoming heat soaked in more demanding conditions. Normal driving is just fine
OP-
Agree with the rest, upgrade your shocks
And good strategy to monitor the temps before modding. I do suspect it is heat related though. Not sure the cause, limp mode is concerning. Any light bars or anything like that blocking cooling or huge ass tires?
I usually tow in the CA desert at...
Disagree, it does a whole lot, including stability and all the junk you mentioned above, from experience using both. For our size trucks it is not a huge difference
OP just has to decide if he wants to put some air, hook and go, or mess with the attachments each time. Should try towing...
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
