They didn’t follow up with any new recommendations - just the recommended oil change. Inspection passed w/no issue. I hope you’ve not had an experience like you’re suggesting. That would get my goat.

I just did my own first oil change Saturday (12 mos. w/5,600 miles - monitor said 1% life left) and found the factory filter, like others have reported, was on way too tight. I wrapped a nitrile glove around the inside of my filter wrench and found it gave enough grip to help me get it loose...

I appreciate the feedback gang. I think the OLM goes down to 0% in 12 months for low mileage drivers. One reason I asked is I’ve seen multiple examples from YouTube and other places online where people have sent their oil in for analytical testing and the results they report back say the oil...

So I’m not a heavy driver (5,200 miles in almost 11 months now). App says 10% oil life left. While I know I’ve read the monitor is trying to take into account mileage, driving patterns, and time in “monitoring” the remaining oil life, I wonder if time trumps the other factors. What I’m asking is...

For me, I just use straight rubbing alcohol to get rid of that haze on the inside. Cheaper than the commercial products and works great to be streak free. If it’s actually dirty, I use regular window washing fluid first, but the rubbing alcohol with a microfiber cloth to finish for crystal clear...

I had a lot of concern reading about hybrid battery issues others shared on here when I wanted to install a dash cam and have it use park mode (Always on, pulling from battery). I installed one (Redtiger F7NP) and hardwired it in. It’s been two months now and I often only drive my hybrid twice a...

My dealership took photos and initiated a warranty claim w/o any nudging from me. Haven’t heard anything yet but not worrying. Better having this issue over something mechanical or electrical.

I picked it up at night and it’s in a shadowy area near a crease. The dealer missed it during its delivery prep wash and I only saw it when giving it its first washing at home.

It’s a raised “pimple” covered by paint and clear coat. The shadow you see from it indicates its prominence above the surface.

I just gave my truck its first thorough cleaning and detailing and found a fairly prominent inclusion under the paint/clearcoat on my hood. I took it over to my dealer and they’re submitting a warranty claim to Ford to deal with it. I haven’t heard anything back yet (1 day later) but thought I’d...

I was actually going to ask about the tire pressure on my new delivery. And about if the on board pressure readings are accurate. I haven’t checked them with a gauge cause then I’d be asking is my gauge accurate. lol Here’s a screenshot from the fordpass app for cold tires just now - mine have...

Haha. She’s a 2005. Wanted that color over any of the others available. Looks fast standing still. 😀 Likely selling her this spring. Just don’t drive as much anymore to feel I need two vehicles anymore.

Did install today. Used 1 micro3 fuse tap for accessory power to fuse slot 1/2 and a micro2 fuse tap for constant power (parking mode) to fuse slot 24. 5 amp fuses in each. Ran wiring up A pillar, under headliner, and under trim of the vehicle front camera across to my front dash cam spot...

A possibly better alternative to the x plan is the farm bureau discount. You can join an Illinois chapter (I joined Cook County) for $20. The farm bureau discount is $500 off. And, no, it doesn’t matter that you don’t live in Illinois, it’s just that their state’s farm bureau memberships are...

I pulled the trigger and ordered the Redtiger F7NP dash cam and hardwiring materials. Order info/pricing below. I emailed Redtiger’s customer support after ordering and they shipped me a free hardwire kit (these typically sell for $20-$30) after giving them my order # and mailing address. No...

Redtiger offered to send me their hardwire kit for free when I inquired about it having a micro three pigtail. I hadn’t even bought the camera then. I’ll probably see if they will gimme the freebie kit when I buy the dash cam and just pick up the proper pigtail fuse tap. Their customer service...

Thx - your install and pigtails are what I was planning to do myself. It’s good knowing it worked out for you. 👍

Haha. Yeah. When I was just checking on the micro 3 fuse tap I think I need, they offered to send me their hardwire kit. I don’t think it has that fuse tap though. Did you hardwire yours? Use parking mode? Any info on what you used to do so. would be appreciated.

Thx Rentman. Your plus model I believe is only different from the F7N as yours includes an SD card. What hardwire kit did you use? I don’t think Redtiger’s comes with one that fits the micro 3 fuse to tap into. Also, is it pretty much out of the driver‘s sight mounted to the right of the rear...

So I’d like to get a front/rear dash cam for my hybrid. So many choices out there. I’m looking at the Redtiger F7N model. Front/rear cameras, GPS, SD card storage, has an app, parking mode option with hard wiring. Not the most expensive cam out there but I think it has the features I would...
