Tough to see that. Hitting a large animal can incur lots of damage. Imagine a cow. i lived, work in Saudi Arabia. Many reports of vehicles, traveling at nite, hitting camels. Road from Damman to Kuwait border A 4 lane. Many drive fast. And many killed when animal peels roofline back, comes...

Every vehicle I own the decals come off. They not paying me to advertise.

He’s a cowboy in Texas.

Had recent hail possibilities warnings in last few weeks. What to do I ask? Even tho we have 2 car garage, my side is full of tools, woodworking stuff. Wife can park her Escape other side. Last big storm, made wife pull hers in garage as far can go, I pulled behind hers. We have an angled...

Today I drove the truck for short drive to get lunch. Turn off the auto S/S switch. Drove short drive, all AC controls lights bright. Stopped to pick lunch. Got back in, started up, hit the auto S/S switch, and AC worked fine. I once noticed at a stop light with auto S/S on, engine did stop as...

Yea, lights went off, like the power cut off to AC switch module.

I’m hoping so! Meanwhile the AC working ok after this event.

My thoughts too. Truck has ~1,800 miles, wouldn’t expect this to happen. Also, after this happened at a traffic light, driving after this the AC worked well as it should…cooling, blower running, all lights lit up. Guess I have to monitor this next few times I start up, drive it. I will also...

Understand engine stops if selected auto stop/start. But it wasn’t, didn’t stop. To be clear, no blower, no cold air. After pushing buttons to ascertain what’s happening, it finally returned. The fan knob segmented lights went off, all of them.

No. The blower stopped, and even if engine stop, wouldn’t think it stop blowing air.

Thanks, kinda what I did. I’m wondering how and why this happened.

Just started the truck, warm day, AC on, blower on 3rd notch, drove maybe 2 miles, sitting at stoplight, the AC blower suddenly quit. WTH? Noticed the lights on 3 buttons off…the AC button, the recirculate button, and other beside it. Baffled, I hit off button. Then hit AC button. Nothing. Turn...

Imagine a surprised Ford tech/mechanic doing this oil drain. No tool required.

My umbrella not small like these, it’s a full size one. For that spot I store an Orange PEP vest In case need to get out on road for some chore. I pick up trash at our subdivision esplanade where people throw trash at the stoplight. Trying to be a maverick, good deed here.

Not to mention towing, can haul too. Think the rate haul load is 1.500#, in the bed. I haul 2 loads of garden dirt, and a load of river rocks for wife’s garden. Although short hauls, truck did well! As for me unloading, wheelbarrowing dirt and rocks to new garden planters, didn’t do so well...

Careful. Don’t. I’m not exactly a turbine expert, but know a few things about them when I did some servicing of small turbines on oil n gas production platforms in Gulf of Mexico, they driving high speed water injection pumps, compressors, etc. Jet engine oil, from what I learned normally class...

I see some talking flatheads. Rebuilt one Flathead. Never again. Hated setting valve gap. Had to grind valve stem tips to get good gap. If grind stem too much, had to grind valve seats to close the gap. No real adjustments setup for these valves.

That looks easy to service. At least there isn’t a screw there. My wife’s Escape filter is a royal pain to access. And there’s a screw there holding the cover on. Drop that screw, bye bye, !!!, it disappears into the valley of the console frame. And getting that new filter in not easy.

Oh my bad. Yep, you right. Honed would be better word, that reveals crosshatching. My 77 yo brain misfiring. When rebuilding engines, if piston to cylinder wall clearance was sloppy, we would “knurl“ the skirt of pistons using special knurling tool on a lathe to close that gap, to prevent...

When I’m towing, would be guessing what gear that 8 spd transmission is in. In my old F250 dash displays what gear I’m in. Also, what is transmission fluid temperature?
