  1. Whats the price on Continental stock tires

    Gotta agree. But have to say “I hate buying tires!”
  2. 2.0 engine blew up. Now what

    Now gotta worry over a blown 2.0. My truck just turn 4,200 miLes, 1 yo this month. A misfire could perhaps lead to detonation, rapid explosion in cylinder, more pressure, busted mechanicals. If you can, advise what blown…hole in piston, bent rod, did it bust the block?
  3. Got oil change and transmission flush on Friday, now I notice I'm leaking transmission fluid in my driveway....

    First, got an EPA mess on the driveway. Second, did you ask if dealer’s techs qualified? They gonna say Absolutely“. Then you should say “Why it is leaking?” Be ready for a lame response.
  4. Maverick is now 1 year old :-)

    Appreciate that. Name is Heman, not Herman.
  5. Went camping at Possum Kingdom Lake

    Would appreciate info on that tent trailer. Care to offer mfr and model? Year ago, I sold our fiver, and week later traded F250 diesel for this Maverick. Kinda missing camping.
  6. Maverick is now 1 year old :-)

    My XLT turn 1 yo this month. Has 4,000+ miles. Did oil change at ~1,500 miles. Had 2 recall done, now waiting on the next 2 (back up camera & wiper motor biz). Otherwise, no major hic cups.
  7. Maverick makes a good hurricane evacuation vehicle…

    Hurricanes no fun. As former S Louisiana native, seen share of storms. And in Texas, got a few. Last one was Beryl. Lots damage with trees falling, no power for 8 days. Our Generac kept us old folks comfy. Pray for Florida. And those NC folks.
  8. Dashboard Rattle

    Love em rattles, huh? When I got mine, no rattle. Then added stuff. Added 2 layer cool trays inside the deep center console, put stuff in. Rattling. Hate. After rearranging junk inside, adding padding, rattle kinda stop. Few days after, hearing rattle. Seen, Removed a pen in top tray, its point...
  9. LIGHTS, AC AND RADIO WENT ON WHILE PARKED AND LOCKED AT HOUSE

    It’s Halloween time. :bandit:
  10. Wiper motor recall

    Probably. Had to get radiator on my F250 replaced, leaking. Did good job. BUT when I got home, to check things, stepped up on front bumper Probably. Dealer replaced leaking radiator. Got home, checking job, had to step up on bumper. Bumper moved. They forgot to tighten the M13 bolts! Have...
  11. Factory Continental Tires Already Worn?

    1 year and 4,000+ miles on my Continentals. Wife’s Escape fitted with Continentals’s too. They doing well.
  12. Its been great but moving on to "Bigger" things

    Congrats on the Ranger. At least need not worry of CV axles Issues. Question for you - care to comment on interior space, cabin feeling between the two?
  13. Wiper motor recall

    My truck sits outdoors all times. And it gets wet from rains. If that wiper drive fails, hope a dealer has another in stock, and correct one at that. Makes me think maybe I should remove that cowl and wrap the motor/gearbox with a Glad ziplock bag. Humm…maybe if that works, could be good...
  14. Wiper motor recall

    Thank you Tbone. Good info. Hope a tech at dealer watching same video, or knows how to rip that cover off. Now need sit, wait for Ford to notify me when they, or dealer have seal.
  15. Wiper motor recall

    Got Ford notice of recall on the wiper motor seal issue. Loverly. Question - anyone knows where that wiper motor is located? I opened the hood, look near, under the firewall for the wiper motor. I just can’t see it. It may be hidden behind some stuff there, or maybe inside that drain, vent pan...
  16. TPMS alert of low tire pressure, then other things happening

    Understand, good for your truck. Prob didn’t lose any protons and electrons. Try reducing 1 wheel to say 13 psi. That’s what mine went to and triggered the other warnings. In my case prob the CANBUS went busted. Unrelated here, I read that GM laid off few software engineers. Prob those doing...
  17. TPMS alert of low tire pressure, then other things happening

    Kinda what I figured. Data highway got off track. Turn off, restart, resets the CANBUS data highway. Smart bus stuff not so smart without a human interface. I did instrumentation in oil n gas controls biz. Know about that smart technology. I prefer the old PLC ladder logic stuff. Easier, and...
  18. Front Axles Manufacturing Defects

    Exactly my thoughts. Unless a service mgr feels for you, he might step up, agree to something better. And if he does, prob risk getting fired by big mgr or dealer owner.
