The factory wheels are likely clearcoated so that they don't tarnish. The repair certainly looks good, hopefully it'll hold up for a while before it oxidizes.
My truck was at the dealer on the 25th (when the recall was issued) to address the underbody insulation recall. They never mentioned the trailer brake recall, I guess that means another trip back to the dealer in the near future.
I took my truck in last Friday for the recall. Took them two hours to install the 2 rivets (Kansas City build). My truck did not have any indication of the insulation sagging prior to bringing it in. They reflashed the PCM while it was there for an update. Nothing special about their rivet job...
I'm about to turn 14K miles on my truck, I've had it since Feb 9, 2021. I essentially babied the truck the first 1K miles, then started romping on it, did my first oil change at 3K miles. After dumping the OE Fill of Motorcraft, I switched to Amsoil 5w30 Signature Series (not looking to turn...
The boxlinks were a piece of cake to remove and reinstall over the bedrug (4 Torx scews per), I used a scratch awl to poke the holes through the bedrug for the screws for reinstallation. The lights were a bit of a pain, I trimmed the foam backing of the bedrug with a razor so that they would...
I don't have the work surface on my tailgate, but I would probably go under the work surface if I did. One of the things I love about the bedrug is that it provides a seal between the tailgate and the bed, coupled with a tonneau cover, it keeps the bed dry/clean. When I installed my bedrug, I...
I've had my truck exactly one year from yesterday, my lifetime average is 19.5mpg running mostly 87 octane. Same drivetrain as what you have ordered. I've had a few longer trips with averages around 22mpg if the speeds are kept between 50-65mph. Overall I'm happy with the fuel economy.
I bought a winter set of wheels/tires for my truck a few months ago and went through this in last month when I installed them on the truck. I went to my local Ford dealership and had them order 4 OE Motorcraft TPMS sensors based on my VIN. The dealer told me I would have to bring the truck back...
I just wanted to check in and say that the Blizzak DM-V2 are a night and day difference over the OEM Goodyear Wrangler AT's. We had a little snow up here in the mountains of northern NH, even coming to a stop at the end of my street was very noticeable. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how...
