  1. Phasing Out Apple CarPlay and Android Auto

    This is going to read as cynical but here it goes with the uncomfortable truth we live. Not sure why it’s not understood that your infotainment and dash system (like almost all of them) are android at the core anyway. If you’re already using an android phone you’re not likely to loose much. The...
  2. Apple CarPlay being difficult

    First to connect wins. Then it’s best signal wins. Once disconnected you usually have to manually acquire the phone of choice. Try getting her to put her phone in airplane mode before leaving house and until the truck starts but before phone separation anxiety sets in. Also you may be getting...
  3. Towing a Jeep

    Went >250k miles each on ‘97 and ‘02 TJ and same for ‘08 JK. ‘02 was way more reliable. Never should have sold it. ‘08 was a maintenance nightmare even though the engine and trans held to the very end when they tanked simultaneously.
  4. Towing a Jeep

    TJ the end of an era. Parts availability probably close to forever.
  5. Sensitive gas pedal

    The 2.7 v6 is super smooth but tends to rev and make at lot of fuss while the 10 speed tranny is rowing from 1st to 4th gear just to get to 40 mph. It’s just the displacement and number of cyl. It’s pretty hilarious though in traffic because everywhere you go it sounds like you’re driving...
  6. Whirring sound on acceleration

    Is it not the popular in-cabin A/C compressor sound that tracks with the engine RPM but vanishes in fall when the A/C is turned off?
  7. The Annoying "Hands on Wheel" Alert

    I decided to turn off Lane Centering but left Lane Keeping on. The Ford system is pretty aggressive compared to the Japanese systems. I think I've reenabled Lane Centering twice on long highway trips.

    The ditch off the side of the road is affectionately known as the “ATV lane” in some rural areas.
  12. White material between cab & bed

    Just don’t look at it.
  13. Installing a rear sway bar on a 6g ranger

    Exactly why they put the electronic actuated sway bar disconnects on later Wranglers; The < 1% scenarios where you would need to disconnect/connect and keeping you from having to get out of the cab to do it. The big drawback for those was water and crud intrusion into actuator motor and housing...
  14. Exterior Mirror Extensions for Towing ?

    Optics / eyewear industry won that battle a long long time ago. Palm and Blackberry were a thing during that timeframe. What’s really going on is their display supplier is taking them to the cleaners.

  18. Copilot 360 option

    I do. You still get 360 it’s just worded badly. I had a lengthy post about it but it got blown away somehow (site maintenance?). On XLT when you do the Advanced Towing + Technology Package the equipment group as you’ve seen the 301 drops back down to 300 (smaller screen, no power seats, no power...
