Just had the truck serviced this morning, and I have been in the habit of checking that it has been reset to “100%” as soon as I pick it up. This morning, the only screen that showed up was the ”Seatbelt”. Nothing for tire pressure, nothing for oil, nothing for anything else but Seatbelts...

I was playing with ForScan this weekend. Changed battery SoC, disable ASS. Before starting anything, and I mean before plugging the adaptor int the pc, on my way for my morning coffee, I got the “rear brake assist unavailable“ message. While playing with ForScan, I looked for DTCs stored or...

Normally, when I think about it, I turn that annoying thing off. Occasionall, I neglect to do so. Today was one of those days. Stop at a light, engine shuts off, light turns green, truck won’t restart. Message pops up—put in park and restart engine. This is not acceptable on any level at any...

So my kid pulled the trigger on a new car last week. Much to my dismay, he bought a Nissan Sentra Spent most of last Thursday going dealer to dealer looking at cars and getting a feel of the dealer. Last Friday, went back to one to purchase a set of wheels. We were told that the car we saw...

Just to be clear upfront, neither on of the Ford pickups I purchased new were regularly serviced by them. Mostly due to distance and time. About 13 years ago, I took my little Ranger in for some goofy brake work. I suggested that it had a stuck caliper Well since brake linings are not warranted...

Middle of last month I was hit with a small but aggressive hailstorm in the middle of the night. Son woke me and asked if I wanted to go cover the truck ( with what, I know not). Damaged every panel except tailgate. Requires roof replacement (which will most likely destroy windshield) and hood...

Just sitting in the truck listening to stereo and display goes black. Cycle key and get a “911 assist set to off” Radio still playing, display is black “normally set at dark” How is this reset?

Sitting in the truck listening to radio, and the display goes dark. Still playing just fine. Cycle key and get a momentary “911 assist set to off” and it goes black again How is this reset?

So, I went and picked up the plates for the new truck yesterday—at the dealer. I had to grin just a bit when I looked at them, and just wished I was the next person in line. Plate on my old Chevrolet for about 10 years Plate on the new truck I just wish I were the the next on in the stack

I gotta get used to a few things. I have been in the habit of plugging in my tablet for music. this was fine for a couple of days, but today it did not want to cooperate. My phone connects just fine. but maps will not show up on the screen with either device. do I have to download something...

My XLT 301A this truck does not have a lot of fluffy tech in it as stand alone options. nothing more than a remote start key fob. so, what is all that wiring going to the rear view mirror on this thing? probably would have never noticed if I did not go looking for where the dealer installed the...

Bought it, left it there for some adds that had to be ordered out of Houston & Dallas 3 hours in those salesman offices and I wanted OUT! Have not even taken it for a spin yet. WHERE’S THE CLUTCH?? XLT 301A 4x4, 8ft box Should be able to pick it up Friday or Saturday. Shoulda got a better...

Sold my Ranger on Facebook yesterday I priced it just a bit high of center of the selling range. Guy spent an hour crawling under, checking wiring, tires and making sure everything worked. Took it on a long test flight as well. I bought it new, and it has not been babied, but never abused...

I have a question for you guys that have had their trucks for quite some time. I hate rattles and squeaks with a deathly passion, and I am curious as to how tight your trucks have remained over the years. Reason I ask is my 98 K1500 in the lowly Cheyenne trim is still rattle and squeak free...
