The sky is blue, water is wet the earth os generally a sphere . soft rubber belts in 200* oil are not as reliable or steel chains in oil. Moving from a steel chain in oil, which is good for it, to a rubber belt and oil is a bad idea. If you don't agree in there is something defective in your...

Amazes me that people will defend anyyhing. Please explain to me how moving from a steel chain to a flexible belt soaked in 200* oil improves reliability? Ford would not of done it if....Ofcourse you won't see the failures till LATER IN THE ENGINES LIFE. That's exactly what Ford is counting on...

bottom line, is that is a stupid idea with a capital S stupid. They've taken out indestructible part of an engine and made a questionable weak link out of it. You can throw all the space age engineering jargon another garbage at this all you want, fact is this is a dumb idea. It should've never...

i have their tank plate which for any price is exceptional. their old trans plate did not fit the US ranger w/o adapter pads. Their new one does fit. sounds like there may have been a frame hole change, as first i've heard of a transfer case plate problem. Rivals plates are Excellent and cost...

Soooo, how many oil pump chain failures were they to cause the re-design? I have NEVER heard on one.

Aabsolute gold, thanks!

Well, my understanding is that the 2.7 originally had a chain, and there is a retrofit kit available from Ford.

I wholly and completely agree with this statement. I'd say about 7 years/ 100k miles is where the carnage will start. Only a fool or an idiot.... The 2.3, at least the version up to 2024, has a chain . Only a fool or an idiot....

Looking for a good ACC ON hot point to splice too under the hood to control a high current relay for my heated seats. Probably around 0.1 A all that's needed. ?

Likely it's because it was brought over from the world Ranger with no testing. The US frame is different.

Well, wasn't happy with the extra foam, It was good, but wanted the more bucket feel. Turns out the F-150: 2015-2017 is similar enough to fit, actually is a bit thicker and more robust. The rear of the seat cover internal clip line is off but the sides and front fit. Foam is about 1/2" shorter...

AI gives trash responses as facts half the time I ask it anything. As it gets more sophisticated, it's errors will get harder to detect. if not properly controlled, where it is identified as the source, it will be the biggest disaster in modern human history. It can have it's uses, but if not...

From the Manual: trust AI, trust the manual? I don't know.

like a hacky broken response.

I mean yeah, but it's probably better to exercise it just a bit. Find a dirt patch.

No. Don't engage 4x4 or locker on pavement unless it's wet from rain or snow. It can bind, and if traction is too great, break sht in there. It's not limited slip. Look at 'Wind up'

You can try to remap your throttle by turning the Truck on, not starting it, just on, then full depress the throttle and release 3x. then turn off. Then operate as usual. I picked up a '17 Mustang GT i had from the dealer after a ECU flash, would not drive, I knew right away they didn't map the...

You should find a patch of dirt and engage everything every 3 months give or take, including rear locker and 4Low mode. Just needs to slip in and slip out, and move a bit.

In the 2024 manual, not sure of 25-26, it warns against manually pulling the wipers up when stowed. Says damage may result. The method recommended is to start the wiper cycle, then turn vehicle off, freezing the wipers in place. I'm not surprised since Ford decided Not to give anyone a printed...

So finished the seat mods, After looking at the components, what i think the cause is is both the Foam is sub -par, and i think the spring bottom is not as robust as it ought to be. So. I added a Nylon 12x12 sheet, and then stack a 1-1/2" of high density foam on top of it. It does cure the hole...
