I too have the M2M grille insert and no problems with the ACC working properly. Your rig is starting to look custom Dave.
Thanks Mark. It's getting hot here now so I'm just doing a few things in the morning before it heats up. Windows get tinted tomorrow morning.

details? I know it’s a steering wheel but why the replacement?
Sorry... OEM wheel recovered in perforated leather left & right, smooth leather top & bottom; Ford blue stitching; little extra padding... by Craft Customs of Rockwall, TX.

Much nicer feel than the less than premium leather(??) of the OEM material

Cool! Didn’t know if it was a Raptor wheel upgrade or something. Better feeling wheel would be nice, I’ll have to check them out.

I would keep a copy of those instructions with your truck paperwork should there ever be an incident involving the ACC. That would help with an insurance claim. In most cases metal grates and radar don't mix well.
My XL adaptive cruise control, no paperwork needed in case of an accident, just throw it out the window (and hope the dog doesn't bring it back).

That's almost as good as the Eco-Mode I have in mine. :oops:

Guess I have to repost this as we lost all of todays posts!

Fed Ex dropped off my PPE deep transmission pan today. :clap: Now I'm just waiting for @Fitzmotor to get the dipstick figured out. Think he's close.

What the pros/cons to a deep pan vs. their shallow one?

Theoretically less wear and lower temps plus more protection than the plastic one.

But after reading @Grumpaw with his extensive towing experience and precise temperature monitoring, I'm leaning away from doing this one.

It's a beuatiful cover and a drain plug is a big win, but transmission's are now supposed to run a lot more miles than days gone by.

All the sixties and seventies automatics of my misspent youth ceased working no later than seventyfive thousand miles.
If I was really hard on them, less. A few much less.
