Hello Derrick I read your article and sent you a PM with some queries re specific needs? Can you have a look at it when you have a minute? Thanks

Yeah.... not feeling it... You had a problem manifest months ago and NOW you're on a rant about Ford BS because the battery died months later? It's like putting gas into it.... you need to actually be proactive every now and again otherwise it just stops... And if you 'were' proactive do...

My interior cleaning tip is don’t let the war office take the truck to the shops. One day she picked up a couple of bottles of wine and a 1.75l Jack Daniels at the liquor store and put them standing up on the floor in back. Whilst I drive like miss Daisy she’s more of a corner on two wheels...

kangaroos do the same damage so bull bars are pretty common...... sorry about your truck... it's a horrible feeling...

I like those rims.... what are they? Any chance you have a close up pic or side view of your truck handy? Thanks

Welcome to our community Brenda. I'm sorry that your first post is a problem with your truck. If you do a search within this forum you will see lots of discussion about this issue. Also, (as I have a 2024 Lariat) there is a FORD recall campaign "Customer Satisfaction Program 25B08" that I...

I converted a BMX X5 air ride suspension (4.8i which was renowned for failure and lack of parts) to a Bilstein shocks and springs setup by myself many years ago and although it was then an amazing handling car, the Bilsteins completely destroyed the ride comfort.... so I'm pretty wary.... I...
