I had the DOFE valve replacement ready in the basement. It's been sitting there for over a year. Yes, replacing it made all the difference. Thanks very much.
It's spring in Pennsylvania so I no longer face the cold temps that trigger the transmission bad behavior. I am back writing about the new issue - the truck is bucking and pulsing at low speed in Drive. In Sport it seems to drive sweet but that's not a solution. What in the world is going on...
Follow up. They noticed that something was odd with the transmission. They did a transmission reset and held it for another day. However, it's not cold enough to cause my truck's transmission to have any trouble. No charge and they gave the truck a needed car wash. I put it on my calendar to...
Cold weather shifting from first gear seems to be a complete miss of up to 3 seconds long before it finds the next gear. Only happens in cold weather. Only happens if the engine is not warmed up. It can be a real problem when I pull out of work onto a high-speed road. Car jumps into first gear...
I have my appointment for my 2022 ranger lariat at the dealership. Next week. Is the second winter that this issue has appeared and this time I will be doing a video recording each time I start and drive the car as evidence of what's going wrong. I also told the dealer do not warm up the engine...
For my lariat I bought the cable and I installed the software. Upon trying to access the body control module, I received the warning that I must get my hands on the extended license trial edition. Once I installed the extended license trial license, then I had access to the body control module...
But do you have device driver vulnerability or wifi driver exploit creation experience to recognize the attack chain necessary here? I have created custom production board support packages to boot and run auto infotainment systems. These systems are locked down preventing the ability to access...
I see you've got experience in the NIST standard for IT network technology. I, on the other hand have 30 years of experience in writing firmware in real time operating systems and in Linux operating systems. Most of my time has been in the Wi-Fi space writing device drivers, correcting device...
See my note above on my background in the embedded security world.
I reviewed the security advisory from Ford and the corresponding one from Texas Instruments who is the supplier of the part and the device driver software. From my professional perspective this is a minor problem limited to the...
I am a professional in the embedded security world, over 25 years of experience designing, developing, testing, and supporting device drivers on embedded computer boards.
I am looking at the reported CVE currently, since I do this on a weekly basis for the products I manage anyhow.

Packed up for a 400 mile drive from Allentown Pennsylvania to Duck N.C. an puter banks town. Spending a week with my family at a rental house shot walk to the beach on the ocean side. Food, drink, swim ocean then back to sit in the hot tub. Someone has to do it.
Now you're taking me seriously. Let me be clear. Do not go to the airport and attempt to put that fuel into your car or your truck. I'm just remembering my days as a youth with a mustang GT 5.0 with some driveway modifications from 1989.
Is it just me, am I this old, does no one remember, take a drive to your local small airport and go over to their fuel pumps. Pump a few gallons of their 110 to 120 octane to blend in with your 87 octane. I'm not going to profess to knowing how many gallons, like the math textbooks used to say...
Rented through Outdoorsy which connected me to a family who own it. The service puts people together so no corporate requirements. My specs show my vehicle can tow 7500 pounds so no concerns. The towing was super easy compared to my old camper. That one was wiggly even WITH a proper weight...
Towed a rented Airstream Bambi 22 foot from Allentown Pennsylvania to Ohiopyle for a week of biking the Great Allegheny Passage rail trail. My wife and I bike about 30 miles a day going out and back from an access point on the rail trail. Did 130 miles in 5 days, stayed at the Yough Lake...

Yes I got that buck in my backyard. Prior to that, I drove 25 minutes to a friend's farm, hiked in half mile in the darkness, shot him around 10:30, and then dragged him out of the woods for another half mile to toss him in the truck. Eventually we all made it to my backyard several hours later.
