"Get off my grass!"

Yeah, we boomers were taught to embrace masculinity. You know, WW2, 'Nam, supporting a family, buying American, working with our hands and all those silly obsessions. Glad Millennials became so enlightened and made this such a better place now. "ACTIVE" pressed into your tailgate for sure...

So Ford is rebranding their manly "XLT" trim group "Active"? Real he-man terminology. A real macho dude drives his Active F-150 down to the Cross-fit Club. Maybe it's true that 65% of Millennial families have the female as the breadwinner, and that 45% of Ford trucks are chosen by women...

Interesting video. I've changed dozens of transmission filters and like the video guy, never saw one that had anything in it. I usually ran them for 70,000 - 100,000 miles if they had synthetic fluid then dropped the pan and changed anything. With the 10-speed complaints, I may just suck...

You know, it surprises me that some folks who'll go so far as change synthetic transmission every 30,000 miles will think nothing if using a $12 chain-store Chineasium transmission filter. Come-on, guys. Step up your game! It's a $9,000 unit. For the love of God, buy a Motorcraft filter.

I've driven Ford fleet trucks for decades and many of them were pretty rusted underneath when new. I'm 200 feet from the ocean on the New York coast, and these roads are salted heavily in the winter. I keep my trucks generally for 230,000 miles or about 18 - 20 years. By the time they go...

Yes, I do with the instrument screen can be dimmed more without the heater and radio buttons disappearing. Even on its dimmest, the speedometer screen is very distracting.

I recently bought a manual from Factory Manuals. I paid an extra $10 for "forever access" which, it was said would store the .pdf file indefinitely on their server and I could access that anytime. I downloaded the .pdf onto a thumb drive and inquired about the future access. After receiving...

No Chinese nuts. No impact tools on the OEM nuts. Then you won't have any problems.

This goes back many decades with Ford. It's a hook for a plastic trash bag.

...help with figuring out a way, through documentation of knowing what wiring is and isn't included in a particular car. The manuals certainly don't tell anymore. It would be very helpful for those who do their own wiring or wish to modify unused electrical hardware for other tasks. For...

The communication is indeed somewhat redundant. Updates are sent by Wifi and cellular. Some cars have two cellular antennas. GPS is also involved. There is no doubt that remotely disabling cars is an option. After all, it is clearly mentioned that some computer updates will disable the...

There was a time when Ford's wiring diagrams showed us exactly what wiring was included in different trim level cars. Back in the day's you'd pull off a dash panel and the connectors for the next level trim's options were waiting you to plug in a switch. Or the manual was labeled "XLT Only"...

This is about the most screwed up thing read all day. But it's fantastic that Discount Tire took them back. Someone's got a lot of nerve thinking American customers would be okay with this sh-t.

Good job. Gobernent always does nice work!

Why not look up your Expedition's owners' manual on Ford's Website or do a Google Search for a .pdf file of it? That's how I found the manual to my new 2023 Expedition, since Ford no longer gives you one when you buy the truck. I assure you of two things: Ford does not specify "conventional...

Just go ahead and mash the gas pedal after waiting to make the left In front of that cement truck and bet your life this stupid thing will crank and start for the 5,000th time and get you across the road in time. Hey, if you're the guy who leases the thing or trades it in every three years...

I doubt any mechanic's bill would attribute a starter replacement to "auto start/stop". How about a turbo or two while we're at it? How's 50 daily start/stop cycles on Borg Warner turbos? Or: "How come government fleets are exempt from auto start/stop and must be disabled as a mandatory $50...

Chinesium it certainly is.

I'm afraid of Fumoto valves. But I've honestly never heard a first-person account of a problem. I believe they are made in Japan.
