Hi Folks,

I put my new very expensive license plate tab on my license plate. Good for 5 years that the ADOT folks will not have to harass me for more $....

Best,

I just brought my Everest in (3/9 Monday) for a 20S10 Recall, They had to update the TCM and PCM bc
The Risk " Transmission fluid gear pump failure could cause loss of hydraulic fluid pressure "
My Everest has Fords 10 speed and this recall was for all Rangers and Everest here.

Tom, is that the AVS flush-mount hood protector? If so, how do you like it? i just ordered one this weekend after debating whether or not to pull the trigger.
I have the Aeroskin one from Ford. It fits like a glove.

Installed Putco grill insert. All the clips stayed in bumper and had to be dealt with. Also had to add some more 3m tape to take up some of the gap. Looks good though.

I had a super negative experience with Putco, ordered the exact same grille as yours, their website screwed up on the correct part number.
So they set me a grille for a truck without ACC and try to make it look like it was MY fault.
SCREW putco....

Emailed them this to prove to them they screwed up then waited 3 hours and nothing, no call or email whatsoever. Part number 87163 is for trucks without ACC.
So I call them back and they realize their mistake, no apology or even an offer to send the correct part. The only way for them to send me the correct grille is for me to send the wrong one back, then and only then will they mail me the correct one.
Hesitant to check out Stage 3 because ultimately the $ will go to putco.
putco can take a flying F&*K for all I care.

I agree with you, screw them. They should have shipped that out to you ASAP no questions asked and asked that you ship back the part they originally shipped you at your convenience. AHOLES.

Did an oil change and filter on my 3.2 diesel. Filter is in the same position as your petrol engines, but no little trough underneath. Makes a mess when your remove it. Refill with 9.5 litres of 5W 30 synthetic diesel oil, and good to go.

Latest update on this snafu:
Just got an email from UPS stating that I'll have a delivery today from putco, mind you from UPS, not the sender.
I've a strong suspicion it's a return label, no email at all from putco since yesterday about what they plan to do, really fine communication skills they got...
