I guess that is not the splash you wanted to make that day in the Splash.

Well, not mentioned in that article was that official from the National Automotive Dealers Association (NADA) were also there, and I'm sure they are the ones pushing harder for that than the makers. What is hypocritical is that they say some of the lockdowns on the system are for cyber...

I've got some universal ones, but for the Ranger I found this one to be the easiest to use: https://www.motivxtools.com/collections/oil-filter-wrenches/products/mx2374-us

Yesterday afternoon I saw a nice COM Tremor, perhaps Lariat trim if OE headlights, going North-West towards New Bern on 70 in NC. I was going the opposite direction in the Focus though.

Transmission issues on this truck do suck, would be nice if Ford had better customer service handling, knowing it's a widespread issue. A blanket customer satisfaction plan would be ideal, especially if the truck made it this far without a fix. However, that likely wouldn't sit well with the...

I wish I still had my old CB radios from the 90s. Had the Wilson 1000 on the trunk of the 67 Lincoln and later my 72 Caprice. I don't remember selling them. But they are nowhere to be found. I got my GMRS license and have a 50W in the Ranger, a 15W Micro mobile I move between the Focus, Jeep or...

Get a NAS with redundant storage array and then a new cheaper computer. I retired my old computers that could not run Win11 or converted the to running Proxmox to host VMs on. I replace my 2011-2012 990FX based Asus board build in 2020 with the X570 based Asus board.

Clearly your grandson drove.

Last weekend was another trip to ViR, towed the RS up there Friday, set up camp in the back of the Ranger and used the car for driving around. Friend popped his 86's engine. So he drove the RS to his shop after the races were over and I towed the 86 there for him. Then put the RS back on the...

What is your current mobile computer if the old MacBook is the old Intel based that supported Bootcamp. Asking because I've run Forscan fine in Parallels with Windows 11 for arm VM on both an M2 MacBook Air and M4 MacBook Air. Nevermind, I saw your later post that you got the old one up and...

Another oil change. modified the oil fill funnel I have for the RS so I could use it on the Ranger as well. Wouldn't fit due to the keyed cap design of the Ranger. Just took a couple minutes with an oscillating tool and a file.

I'm sure he did as I was he stated that with the reset he did it will take 500-1,000 miles to relearn and get to where it should be.

I got my `21 back from the transmission service, but the 1-2 shifts are way worse, I gave the 1k miles the tech said to give it. But it's not good, and way worse than before the service with a 5k trailer hooked up, but at this point I'm going to drive it close to the current warranty on the...

Congrats on the Raptor, sounds like you'll be disappointed if Ford releases the Ranger Thunder here though. 😂

My Hankooks lasted over 55k miles. I was planning on replacing them last Oct before my inspection in Dec as the sides were getting.a bit low from not slowing enough for corners, but a razer through the edge of the tread in Sept moved that scheduled replacement up a month. Replaced with XL load...

Yes, that is the Focus cluster.

Averaging about 10k miles a year on mine.

I just use a GMRS antenna with a magnet mount close to the middle of the roof, good ground plane there. Base ANO-052, Antenna ANO-050G.

Same one I have.

On the condensation comment: I've done some "Urban camping" at the airport under the tonneau cover. Landed in Atl from Mia, next morning had a trip to AL to get a car. Didn't want to move the truck and trailer since I already had a parking spot for it where it what while I was in Miami. But...
