My prediction: The first time someone has an accident and is impaled or crushed by something from the bed sliding though the opening, Ford will held liable in a lawsuit.

Normal acceptable tolerance. The resistance of and other components before it gets to the outlet

I remember a dealership I used to work for sold a different extended warranty. They preferred to sell it. But if the customer wanted, they would sell them the Ford esp.

He's 100% correct. The 02 sensors measure the oxygen content of the exhaust and adjuststs the fuel mixture to where the exhaust oxygen content is evidence of approximately a 14.5 to 1 air/fuel ratio. If it deviates it quickly richens or leans out the mixture until the right ratio is reached...

The Hybrid battery is underneath the truck. So interior temp has no effect. The AC compressor runs off the hybrid battery. But that's a light load compared to actually moving the truck. Also. Being an electric compressor allows it to operate at full speed even when the engine isn't running. No...

Push once to quickly clear the seatbelt warning (if I don't want to wait) then once to bring up the mode menu, then once to move it to eco. I think that's it anyway. 😅

Our dealership has no problem doing warranty work on a vehicle bought elsewhere. It's an opportunity to win the customer back to our dealership for future service. Warranty work is viewed as SURE MONEY. And it's an opportunity for our service department to win the customer back for their next...

Our dealership views warranty work as AN OPPORTUNITY to win the customer to US for their further service and even their next purchase. We don't turn ANYTHING down. Although warranty reimbursement is less than customer retail, it's SURE money. Warranty sometimes is a bit of a pain to deal with...

Our dealership sees warranty work as $$$. Period! Sometimes our manager gets a bit in his feelings when a customer that usually buys from us chose to purchase from another dealer. But we view them bringing the vehicle to us for warranty service as an OPPORTUNITY to win the customer back. So...

I think it's unwise to modify any vehicle while still under warranty. Although Ford doesn't automatically void a warranty for that reason. If it's determined that the modification contributed to a failure, then they will void it. We've had diesels that were modified that failed. If there was...

I guess it's good to have some form of backup. I just keep a jump box under my back seat. But that's mainly because I'm a mechanic. And I sometimes need to jump start other people. More convenient than jumper cables. 😅

That's to be expected. I rented a car with start stop. I just let it do its thing. In the beginning it was a bit disconcerting. But I got used to it. And its operation faded into the background. . As a mechanic, I've only seen ONE negative effect. We do seem to replace a few more starters than...

FYI, GASOLINE particulate filters shouldn't use more fuel during regeneration like diesels because they will use PASSIVE regeneration because gasoline exhaust gets hotter than diesel exhaust. So normal driving is sufficient without a special fuel consuming regeneration cycle.

There's a lot of pre-worry and overthinking in my opinion. octane is unlikely to affect filter life any more than it affects other emissions. If the manufacturer certifies the engine for 87-93 octane, either can be used without harm. Octane simply allows the engine to perform at its advertised...

I like to play with the acceleration a kind of like the engine drone when I’m driving by myself. I do it on purpose. But when I have passengers, I try to keep it down because I’m a little bit self conscious about it since it cAnd get a bit loud. But I’ve discovered that they disn’t notice until...

I dislike auto stop too.(Except for on my hybrid 😅)But I don't see the big issue with taking 1/2 second to press a button. I don't understand why people actually modify their vehicle to override it. It literally takes less than a second. to push a button once per drive cycle. I see some people...

They ALWAYS apply correctly and don't depend on strength. Many people don't apply the brakes enough to even hold the vehicle. I've seen others that struggle to release the lever type parking brake. People who have a weak arm or left leg . That includes LOT of people through injury., stroke...

The gasoline filter will probably not be nearly as noticeable as the diesel filter since gasoline engines produce much fewer particulates in the first place.

I don't think these even use def fluid. That's even more reason to just drive.

Just drive the truck as is. Only consider modification or removal if it gives problems. Otherwise, I recommend just leaving it alone.
