  1. Adding Radio Preset Buttons To The 12" Display - Is It Possible??

    On my 2023 you can tap through the presets using the arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel. It only goes sequentially, but it's better than nothing. I'd love to have them visible on the screen as well, though.
  2. What do you permanently store in your lower door pocket?

    Close enough. They don't make mine anymore. Take the rubber foot off of that one and it fits pretty well in the door cupholder.
  3. What do you permanently store in your lower door pocket?

    Digital tire pressure gauge Microfiber towel (2) Bottles of Ben's tick repellent Stainless water bottle, eco-vessel And sometimes the trailer hitch lock for my boat trailer
  4. Rear brake/rotor replacement mileage?

    That's pretty normal for most vehicles these days in my experience. Ton of material buildup leads to the "warped rotor" feeling. I rarely get more than 40k out of my rotors anymore, regardless of manufacturer.
  5. A Note About Gasoline and By Products

    I honestly am impressed by your results. I have tried running 93 for about 5000 straight miles and got exactly 1 MPG improvement (23.4 vs 22.4). It did have a little more pep, admittedly. When I tow my boat long distances I still run 91+, but for daily use at an average cost of an additional...
  6. Pro Power detected a ground fault

    Here's what my dealer found.
  7. Pro Power detected a ground fault

    I got that message about once a week, usually when it was cool and rainy. I was sure it was a wiring issue. Took it to Ford, they did a software update, and I haven't had a problem since. Color me shocked, but that was about 6 months ago.
  8. Shoutout to Maxzina and vent guard install

    I'd laugh at this product, but I have already twice fished my kids' earbuds out of those ducts. Nice idea.
  9. Why we cant have nice things

    The diminished value claim is real and easily followed up. I got rear-ended in my old 2016 GMC years ago and pushed clear across an intersection by a lady doing over 50 that never looked up from her phone until after the airbags went off (watched her in the mirror the whole way). Got into it...

  11. Hot smell after hill climb

    Mine did that for the first 10,000 miles or so. I live at the top of a fairly steep hill, and every time I towed my boat up to the house I could smell the block cooking off after I parked in the driveway. It eventually went away, but yes, these engines generate some serious heat under load.
  12. Help!! Risking my life using BlueCruise when changing lanes!!

    No adjustment that I have ever seen in the settings or Forscan. My BSMs are so bad that I honestly wish I could just turn them off so they don't distract me. Like most of the replies state, you just need to check the blind spots yourself whether on Blue Cruise or not. Interestingly enough...
  13. Ram 10 yr/100,000 mile warranty

    Came out of a 2020 Ram 1500 Limited. I only had to take it back to the dealer for warranty work 3 times in 70k miles. 2 were painless. The third was at an out of town dealer for 2.5 weeks because the hybrid wiring harness had an issue and the part was in Seattle. This was at the tail end of...
  14. Please someone give me some advice!

    Pretty sure that's it. It's been a few years since I did it.
  15. Please someone give me some advice!

    There is definitely an adjustment that can be made to adjust the brake pedal. Mine was too high and I was able to adjust it downward (opposite problem that you have). Didn't take much. If you can't get it to move then I am sure a mechanic can do so for you. Good luck. Regardless of the...
  16. Locking out gears

    2023 PB - I have typically only locked out gears when towing. I have a nominally 7500 lb boat and tow around 2000 miles per year with it. Never thought to lock out the upper gears around town with no towing going on. In the past 2 days I locked out 9-10 on my typical trip to and from work...
  17. Ford Sneakily Takes Away an 12V Outlet? More 2025 Cost-cutting?

    Yes...what I came here for this morning was a nice virtue-signaling lecture. Bless your heart.
  18. Ford Sneakily Takes Away an 12V Outlet? More 2025 Cost-cutting?

    I just got a 2025 Jeep Compass as a rental and found out that they removed the 12v outlet in 2022. Not that I was planning on buying one, but without the 12v I have nowhere to plug in my radar detector...and yes, I realize you can buy aftermarket cords that work on the usb-c connection, but...
  19. weird spots on paint

    I've gotten those spots on all of my vehicles since 2010, but it is by the most noticeable on ones that are painted white. I have no idea what causes them, but it seems to be environmental. Some light rubbing compound takes them off pretty easily.
  20. Fit and finish sub par

    The rattles and panel gaps seem to be fairly common in the F150. It does drive me a bit nuts given the price point of the vehicle. I had to do some shimming on a couple of areas inside of my 2023 Platinum. I did not have those issues on my 2020 Ram (just different issues). A bit telling is...
