I like this color, but my wife would leave me if I ordered one 😜

I understand your dilemma. One of my rears went bad at about 30,000 miles (but past 36 mos). Both rears were replaced under my extended warranty. Now, at 45,000 miles and 5 years, all is fine. I have to decide if I need a new shock now do I go with OEM (that extended warranty thing) or upgrade...

Sorry to hear about your wife, and hope for a swift recovery. Almost any furry critter is God’s gift to us. We’ve always been dog folks, but now have a cat (who still doesn’t like me a lot <lol>) that was/is feral and my wife took in about 3 months ago — she’s now completely a house cat (she’s...

Yeah, the only time I went to a doctor was if I got injured on the job, or a “new hire physical”. Then one day it happened — everything “went to s**t” and now it’s multiple doctors and tests every three months . . . ah, the golden years 🤬

I hate talking to my car (admittedly ‘21 BS w/sync3); between wind & raad noise, people talking , etc I have found it very unreliable and annoying. The only time it works effectively all the time is when I’m alone in the vehicle and parked. The touch screen is okay, but I prefer...

Do On30 myself . . . Everything’s currently boxed up though.

Got orders to Medregal (SS480), just before she was to go on a Med cruise in ’67. Ireported aboard about 1900 and by 1910 was on my was to Pomfret (SS391) and three back-to-back tours of Nam — what a let down! Never heard any music; no on knew when we left, when we returned, or where we went...

OR, as we used to say, “If it moves salute it, if it doesn’t move paint it, if you can’t paint it . . . f**k it.” 😂

I’m in the valley e/of LA; small hills, traffic, and lots of stop signs and traffic lights. My BSBL gets around 18-20 mpg depending on the street/freeway ratio no matter what mode I use or how I drive it, but get it on the open road and level ground and I get in the low 30’s — get some grades...

Had my 40,000 mile service done this morning. After deducting my FordPass points, cost me $14 — a good deal for me. Surprisingly, there’s a lot left on the brakes (kinda’ figured they’d be ready to replace). Service said they should go another 5-10K. I sure hope he’s right! I’d already changed...

Maybe it’s a “cruck” . . . and since is a Ford, maybe it’s a “Fruck”. All I know is it has been great for me. 👅

And, maybe, The Shadow <lol>

See some of the other warranty threads — tricks are posted there . . . don think Granger can ethically/legally advise you.

Short answer — no, not available for Sport

AND Ford is not the only one . . . They started removing dip sticks and calling the fluid “Lifetime” back in the early 2000’s, maybe even earlier. Mt first experience was in 2002-2003.
