Anyone do brake pads yet? Does this thing need a scanner to retract the caliper pistons/recalibrate the caliper position or can you just do it manually?

So my ecoboot's brakes shed this brownish dust that gets all over the wheels and even stains up the tires. It comes off if I hit it with decent quality wheel cleaner but it comes right back. These OEM pads shed dust faster than you would believe possible. Does anyone have any...

Got an unexpected package from Ford. It included a note that says it's a thank you for doing the recall and a nice Ford branded yeti drink bottle. It's sized to fit the door cubby, but unfortunately as we all know the design of the cubby is such that there isn't much retention. But it's a...

Ecoboost fx4 4k towing with stock pirellis. So we took another trip from the philly area to syracuse and I tracked my mileage. Round trip it's about 525 miles. My best MPG for this trip was about 32 - that was by driving very carefully and trying to maximize efficiency. It was kind of a...

So I noticed the 12v accessory wires in the bed of my XLT have no voltage. They exist, but even with the engine running they have no voltage. Had to take it to the dealer for something else and they told me the wires are dummies and do not function in anything but lariats. Any truth to...

So I finally got around to trying to install a 12v outlet in the bed using the accessory wires. No bueno they have no power and a voltmeter reads zero with the engine running. Aside from the fuse does anyone have suggestions as to what could cause this?

Before anyone says "forscan" I have that - I need one for other brands. There is so much crap on amazon I can't make sense of it all. I'd like one with as many functions as possible, but I am just a weekender kind of wrencher and don't want to spend a ton of money on something that will only...

...and you are getting close to an obstruction? Our old explorer does that and it's very handy. Or do we rely on the camera?

Dude does a double take while I'm sitting in a parking lot. Then he keeps looking over like he doesn't want to get caught drooling. Then he circles around back to check what model it was. Then he kept glancing back over his shoulder as he walked away. He "re-viewed" it about a dozen...

Well more of a ding. Something fell out of a tree and bounced off the front of the hood leaving a small but noticeable ding about the size of a dime right in the middle. Damn trees! At least now I can stop worrying about keeping it perfect. 😭

Didn't take pix. But I didn't die. Or break anything. They sound a bit better and don't distort as much at higher volumes as the stock ones. Not super high end but my hearing isn't good enough anymore for it to matter. Getting the door panel off could have been worse. Putting it back...

I bought this on amazon for about $6 It is identical to the pigtail except for the length of the wire which is shorter. It does click into the socket positively.

I got my maverick about a month ago and wouldn't you know it, there was an air bag light on and it had to go back to the dealer who had it for a week fixing it. It was also shifting hard and getting poor mileage and it seemed like there was something wrong with the transmission. The service...

I bought this as a stop gap thinking I'd have to wait to get a hard cover from ford, then found an aftermarket hard cover anyway. Used for a total of about 2 weeks, this thing is like brand new. I still have the box and the roll of weatherstripping (unused) that comes with it. $200 pick...

So I was poking around in the settings and found a thing for ambient lighting. I have an XLT no lux pack and IIRC ambient lighting is only on lariats? Since it's an FX4 it has the lariat productivity screen and I wonder if it incudes the same control module or something. Long story short...

So my brand new maverick threw a dash warning light, the one that looks like an air bag going off. :eek: We first noticed it when my wife sat in the passenger seat. The lamps that tell you if the passenger air bag is on or off seem to work normally. It hadn't come on again without a...

Found a neat thing on amazon that fits perfectly. It's a little tray that goes in the center console and sits on top. You can put small, frequently used items in the tray and leave bigger stuff underneath. I had something similar in my last vehicle and missed it in the Mav. Center console...

When I enter my vin on the page that shows which modules are live, a bunch are listed. Weird thing is, only BCE modules show live. NO PCM modules are listed. Is this normal? The truck is finished production and shows as being in shipping now.

Can someone post a pic? TIA
