It would be maybe somehow better if it was just the XL models that they make only minimal profit on. My XLT order is now 10 months old, and still unscheduled. How is it that you get 2 loaded XLTs and others get none?

Every manufacturer does this. It will take 75 years to rust through, and the small amount of rust in the cone area after a month helps lock in the knuckle. Its safer that way.

The Hermosillo plant builds the Bronco Sport as well, and I always thought that the 10k-13k vehicles was consistently broken down to less than half being Mavericks. Where did the 10k-13k number come from? Or has the plant suddenly come up with a way to make about 25k vehicles/month, or triple...

For some unknown reason it looks like every Ford dealer in Canada is putting the vehicle for sale on the lot, when it is actually special-ordered and not available to sell. I guess that makes it quicker to advertise if someone occasionally backs out of a deal, but its a pretty shady practice...

If you switch from a normal to an AGM battery, the charging curve is different. Won't that mess up the battery charging software, leaving you constantly overcharging it until it fails?

The 2.0, 2.3 and 2.7 engines have a built-in oil separator, bolted onto the block where the PCV plumbing starts. That's why nobody is getting any oil in their aftermarket catch-cans.

Its a TRUCK. You don't use your rear window like you need to in a car, you use your side mirrors. What are you going to do when you have a high load or a flipped-up tonneau cover in the way?

If there is no longer a shortage, then why are so many people still waiting for their incredibly long order times, and other than the dealer that you looked at, why do no dealers have any on the lots?

I do not see that. I'm in Canada, so maybe I get a different owner's manual. Can you post a picture of the page? That's a maintenance action commonly used on diesel engines.

Why are you warming the vehicle up for any time at all? I assume that you have a 2.0 and not the hybrid, which would do nothing during a "warm up". Heating you up in the vehicle is what the heated seats and steering wheel are for. You're just wasting a lot of fuel. With today's oils and the...

Man, you have it nice! I have yet to receive even a first communication in 10 months of waiting from Ford Canada. If you think you're in the dark ages in the U.S, Ford Canada must be pre-stoneage.

About 20mi after you do that dumb move, you will get an engine fault warning showing a fuel fume storage failure, and the fix will set you back about $500 for the new capless filler assembly. This is not a 1940 fuel system.

Good luck sticking a siphon hose down the capless filler and actually expecting to get fuel. There is a reason why you have to use that plastic funnel thing in your jack wrapper to even get fuel in with a gas can. No lock is required.

They do provide one from the factory. Check the bolt-on panel where the PCV line exits the side, and you will be looking at a factory oil separator. That's why all these guys installing extra catch cans are not getting anything in them except a small amount of water.

You realize that by posting this howto, you have already invalidated any possible warranty, made the job of the Ford technician a lot more difficult, screwed up the engine smart workarounds, disabled the security system and then had your private information scraped multiple times. You're...

That's true for hard undercoating after about 8 years, but not normally for more fluid products that would have to be touched up or re-applied every year. Anything from transmission oil spray to things like very thin Krown creeping fluid should be fine. Just don't use a place that sprays used...

I also won't run anything less than synthetic oil on a boosted engine. It costs $89 for a Valvoline synthetic oil and filter change at the Econolube or at Midas - the lowest-price shops in my area. The average North American travels about 12k/year, so at 500 miles/change, that's 24 oil...

Take it to the dealer parts counter and have them look up the part number stamped on it. That should get you a part name at least, and maybe a drawing of where it goes.
