The ignition switch sequence doesn't do any learning on its own, but puts the system in training mode (announced by the horn honking) that you then would follow up with either using an activation tool or adding/removing air starting at the LF and moving clockwise. FORScan should be able to...

You're worried about the warranty ramifications of bending a metal bracket, but not plugging in a third-party device altering the computer systems' behavior?

Your Google AI fails you. Ford utilizes 4 engines for hybrid applications in NA currently: the 2.5L (Escape/Maverick/Corsair), 2.0L Turbo (Nautilus), 3.3L NA V6 (Explorer [Police]), and the 3.5L TT (F-150). That's not including the 1.0L 3-cyl (Puma; a mild hybrid), 1.5L (Tourneo), or 2.3L...

Dimensionally it really isn't small; it's practically a mid-sizer unless the 74" width is suppose to be including mirrors (dubious considering that'd be even narrower than a Maverick or even old compact trucks). Otherwise it's as tall as a modern Ranger/Tacoma but a good bit shorter. Biggest...

A dealership likely wouldn't have arbitrarily performed the ACCM reprogramming, though, unless you had them addressing a battery drain problem.

It's not a vacuum "leak" because it's in front of the throttle body and there is no MAF. As far as the A/F management is concerned it's no different than air coming through the airbox.

Technically you don't need to replace the turn signal stalk; you can enable the Lane Keep Assist with just ForScan but it means it's a little trickier to enable/disable on the fly. That said, 'auto drive capability' is way overselling the functionality of that option. Lane Keep Assist at most...

There's a ratcheting locking mechanism that prevents it from tilting back unless tilted fully forwards first.

Interesting detail on the winter test mule: it doesn't have any external doorhandles visible. Which kind of backs up my thought that the ones one the LA vehicle look kind of... fake. They don't even line up on the passenger side:

The suspension components are engineered to handle an expected vehicle weight + payload, not the other way around. Ford has released preview media of the architecture's structure/electrical system before. When they had their press event at the "skunkworks facility" the attendees like...

The battery is under the floor like most EVs.

The radiator and cooling fan are the same, at least. Actually, I don't know if it was ever conclusively determined if the hybrids w/4k tow have an additional external cooler or not (even somewhat recent threads don't mention it). Ford did cite improving the cooling capacity of the HF55 in its...

It sounds like you don't plan on reselling it in any timeframe that matters. And on the hybrids there is no cooling upgrade with the tow package; the extra power handling was fundamentally incorporated in the HF55 design.

VIN is issued when scheduled. It is still possible to request some changes at that point, but as mentioned it requires extra approval on Ford corporate's side.

If it's scheduled for this week of production odds are probably almost zero. The dealer can modify pretty freely up until it's scheduled. Once it's scheduled then it takes a bit more work including approval from the factory scheduling. But this late? It's probably already at blend date where...

About 15 mph give or take a few, maybe a bit faster if you run bigger tire/wheels and goose the governor. Although in my experience on a sizable fleet of Club Cars the clutches really don't like much more than the stock RPM limit. Otherwise, Club Cars especially the mid-90's to mid-oughts...

And there's lots of vehicles made in the past two decades that require partial/complete removal of the bumper to get at the headlight housings for a bulb replacement.

Except that's literally the condition that Ford's documentation says may have been the case and to inspect for. And Ford was logging torque of the installed pinch bolt, but installing the balljoint partially in the fashion described doesn't prevent torquing adequately. The vehicles...

It's not a matter of torque. The pinch bolt can be inserted and tightened if the ball joint is partially installed in the bottom of the bore, but not so much as to obstruct the cross hole.

The top diameter is the same as the bottom.
