So shops are trolling for customers? I've gotten a few random calls from the local dealerships about my recalls, but to get texted is going a bit far. . .

Updates have been more reliable for me once I setup the WIFI to connect to my network. Just a suggestion - Joe

So, Lemons to Apples comparison, seeing that 2-5 all have a full frame under them, the Honda should not even be in the running. Just my .02 on it. Well, maybe now I have to say .05! - Joe

I've been in the program for a year, but I've yet to receive any early drops of software. However, I do seem to get a number of survey requests. Most have been informative, and Ford is trying to figure things out. So your mileage may vary! - Joe

Mine has a build date of 3/31/25 and it's on the list! More fun to come . . .

I did a bit of digging and found the following using some AI prompts. Gemini propmt - why does Amsoil signature series test with a high oxidation rate? Thinking prompt - Analyzing Oil Oxidation - I've defined AMSOIL Signature Series' composition and what oxidation signifies in used oil...

Yes, I did see that video and still learning what tests are what. Will keep with my approximate 5K miles changing schedule. Thanks for the reminder! - Joe

Got the updated report, I think I was idling too much in my cold weather, will be making the next oil change a bit sooner to see if that helps Got the free Blackstone kit and will run both on the next sample.

I purchased the paper one too ($60) found out it’s the 2024 version for the Ranger. To someone’s point above, at least I can write in it and put a few post-it tabs on the things I want to find quickly.

In the last year, I've only had one update. I just checked, and it was the break booster reprogram. No others are listed on the screen. I did read somewhere that Ford won't clear the notice until it's verified by a shop. (from their site) Starting March 17, the update will be available...

Not that I've had, mine looks just like that and I changed oil yesterday with no issues!

Thanks for the info! I’ll have to check them out and maybe do a comparison next time. I have a couple of pre-paid analysis left to go. - Joe

Just installed the ClearVu camera washer kit and only took about an hour. Would have been faster but decided to run the line up the fender wall to hide the line and make it a cleaner install. Really like the idea and the price was a bit more than i wanted but now that is done I’m ok with it...

After a long, cold winter and too much idling, I'm sticking with the ~5K-mile oil change. This one is right at 4745, and though I could see through the oil stream with a flashlight, I think it was time. Will post the oil report once it returns from analysis. Good news this time, I could...

I feel your pain. The same thing happened to me back in August! Replaced all the parts with OEM. Not only was the window broken, but when the perp crawled in, they broke the mirror, scratched the crap out of the exterior of the door, and broke the armrest on the interior door panel. Only...

I went with the Truxedo Sentry CT Hard Roll-Up. I had a soft version on my 150, but I really like the security and how flat it lies. I know it was not one of your options above, but wanted to chime in.

Back in the day, when the St Paul plant was cranking them out, it Was part of their testing plan.

I only had the issue when the handle was wet and cold. still trying to figure out what the pattern is.

I just noticed this today, I’ve ordered some new batteries for the FOB and will see if that fixes the issue.

So, now I have to learn a bit more about oil I guess! Here is the latest report at 9K miles. - Joe
