Auto Accessories & Install on 198 Cedar Cross Rd (563)582-0035

I have an XLT BAP AWD 4kT. You will have the plug as all wiring harnesses are the same but if you don’t have the option that plug port is left open. I can’t tell you where it is or what it looks like but if you had heated seats, you would have to unplug it to pull the seats out. Or so I was told.

I remove one deer a year with a license and a gun but over the decades I’ve taken out five the hard way. Sorry to hear your loss and issues with SF. I was an independent adjuster for 40 years and would not work their claims because of just such adjustment bs. Send an appraiser to work it out...

I paid a custom shop $400 to do mine. He said he pulled power from the empty plug under the seat that Ford uses for their Lux pkg heater. I have a three position button on the seat base (door side) of each seat. They heat very quickly on High position, when they get too warm, switch to...

Yes the electric parking brake is convenient but ever since my 1958 VW bug, I used the hand lever brake to assist in steering the vehicle when driving in snow. Have you ever watched drifting autos steer using two levers? Well one works very well also. I miss it but do not expect it to return...

Thanks, good to know. And I did read the owners manual. Also turn off your brake hold button, the conveyor doesn’t like that either.

Get it checked out by a real Ford dealer or good body shop, to see what those "hooks' are connected to. If it was bolted into the uni-body rails, they may have torn them. As far as I've seen only the Ford connections for their tow hooks are strong enough to grab a hold of.

We have a lot of great insurance and legal talent commenting here and we all have a piece of the truth but no facts of the actual accident. State laws prevail here and whether the state has comparative fault laws or contributory negligences statutes and leave it there. I have prevailed with...

You are correct in part of what you say but when comparing an "act of god:" occurrence to one where "your driver", whether at fault or not carries some possibility of comparative fault and dependent on your state laws, my scenario still holds but check your state laws as they do not paint the...

It is so nice to hear these testimonials about LM Ford and Tim, who I've watched since these trucks were released onto the un-washed masses, but they are probably just like my dealer's crew at Finnin Ford in Dubuque, Iowa and probably at least 30-40% of the small town/city dealers out there that...

PS I am a blonde dude as well, my Mav is tagged "Grateful Dude"

Well I am not a lawyer but I did spend a night or two in a motel. Here is what I can say, the dealer NOT Ford cannot wash their hands of this. They are a business and when you handed over your keys, they are in the "care, custody and control" of your vehicle. Their Shop/mechanics liability...

Yes, what dalola said. I use Sport most of the time unless I am on the highway cruising. To heck with mpgs!

The "derechos" have been the constant refrain by Insurance agents but as a retired Insurance investigator with 40 years of experience, in 40 fkg years I had never heard that word. They are straight line winds (I have heard that) not cyclical winds (read- tornadoes, hurricanes). Pekin Ins. was a...

I had a buddy who bought a new GTO Judge in the 1970 that had a rattle from day one. We traced it to a RR door and took off the door card and found an empty beer pottle inside. I jokingly asked if his car was "built on a Friday?". He checked; it was built on a Friday! A year later, my buddy and...

I'm in Iowa, my present insurer is leaving our state and have hunted for new insurance. I have two vehicles of particular interest, a 1985 Kawasaki eliminator with 12,000 miles, a 2005 Porsche Boxster S with 38k miles and my new 2023 Maverick XLT AWD-4KT with 5k miles and all can be insured for...

I never said I would crawl under them, they are great to lift from a point where the mfg. co suggests and not damage the pinch weld. But if I wanted to lift the entire side or am taking things apart, I use jack stands. Look into JackPoint jack stands... the owner is a buddy and they are awesome...

I agree with this scenario but now have to throw another consideration into the mix... I have a set of snows on for 4 months and a set of summers for the balance of the year and now how does that mess with the mathematical protocols? FYI I just go "front to back" on my AWD vehicles. My Porsche I...

add my two magnetic pads and we have a winner. I had never thought to lift the whole side before but I will now. saves time when swapping snows for summers

I bought a pair of these. They stick magnetically to the punch weld and you position the jack to it and lift the truck. Simple...
