Thanks. I have this problem too on the right wheel well against the engine. I zip tied the front part behind the bumper, but couldnt quite get an idea of where to go with the engine side. Absolutely pathetic build quality.

I assume this is related to the pro-terrorism comments on X from the hacked account?

Ive seen a few gen 14s with almost no grease at all on the slip. Is yours lifted? Im wondering why they went bad. Sucks nothing is greasable anymore.

My 2022 6/22 was 3.3 qt low from the factory. It damaged my valve body. Replaced under warranty after 3 different fuckig trips at 6k or 7k miles

Ford should do a CSP for these at a minimum and possibly a recall. Its a workmanship and design defect.

I actually as a matter of fact DO have experience with those as an engineer at that defense contractor. Milspec is exactly as I described. A generalization that meets a milstd specification for some level of requirements (NOT L4 functional requirements).

No way. Milspec is consistent, but its general bare minimum acceptable. Its nothing that works exceedingly well, but it will work. Milspec means its tied to a fairly low standard of acceptance often surpassed by commercial. M14 parts, definitely want commercial. Nods? Definitely want milspec...

Its a loose loose scenario. I think costs will increase by 1/3rd, but I also think unions are going to get thankfully butfukt with Tdawg and manufacturing innovation is about to skyrocket. Buy up your Rockwell Automation, AWS, Mazak, Siemens, etc . The adjustments are going to be literally...

Jesus fuck. This makes me nervous. My POS was 3 quarts low from the factory and had a replacement valve body. 9k on it now.

Good to hear. I bought mine from Phil Long in COS. Its been good since the valve body replacement, but it still occasionally clunks on 4th and 3rd, but I think its within the realm of normal at this point.

I hated the old rangers, but considered the newer ranger. Similar to OP, the price difference and efficiency differences were minimal if at all and the capability gap was HUGE. Smaller gas tank, smaller back seat space didnt fit a rear facing car seat on the sides, smaller front seats, small bed...

Somewhat interesting, mazda actually has fans cooling their LEDs. These are very sealed up with minimal effort to dissipate heat. Im wondering if a few vent holes would help.

If mine break, I plan on cutting around the housing and polishing off the burned LED. Luckily I have the ESP until then. Ford needs to at a minimum do a software recall to lower the brightness and lessen the risk of burning. I would be okay with it being slightly more dim if its never going to...

Yeah Im 100% with you on payload. A truck has to haul first and foremost. 1800lbs is the baseline with a short bed. I have very confidently had 500lbs over payload in my f150 and it had about an inch of negative rake. 2300lbs is respectable. I just picked up a CX50 and was impressed with the...

No codes. Just the 345 pretty much this time. My trans was 3qt low from the factory which made the truck shudder real bad. They filled it in a prior visit which took care of the shudders. They think the low condition damaged a valve in the throttle body. I dont have the paperwork in front of me...

Aerospace and defense manager. Seems theres quite a few of us!

What kind of idiot is ragging on their tin can truck up to 100mph? I would admit the 5.0 feels best all around, but the 3.5 pulls way harder at low revs just going normally around town. While the 5.0 beats the crap out of the 3.5 for mpgs, it falls short of the 2.7 by about 3 mpg in my real...

Ill never open up the trans on my own. Thats one thing I wont ever mess with

Does this mean you guys dont have the menu option to turn off DRLs?
