I have a 2007 6.0 L diesel Superduty. They had problems with casting sand from the block clogging the oil cooler and the solution from Bulletproof Diesel (an aftermarket specialist for diesels) was to put a bypass filter in the cooling system. It wasn't hard to do, and I haven't had any...
I flipped my 225 spare and found a suitable bolt to hold it down. I cut up a foam gym floor tile to fit into the spare, and there's room for a complete socket set, and a few other things. All the foam is out of mine, and I store a shortened Hi-Lift jack, Lift-Mate, jumper cables, axe, tow...
If you go to Moab, and you fish, spend a night at Warner lake. The campground is up in the aspens, and very nice. The fishing is some of the best I've ever experienced. Deer walk by in the campground just a few yards away. The Off-Rodeo was also a blast.
You can put a 10 watt solar panel on a battery without a charge controller. I have a 20 watt on my Superduty with a charge controller (it has 2 batteries). It plugs into the cigarette lighter, which is always connected on my old truck, but probably isn't on the Sport. You might need to run it...
I believe the KO2's are a light truck tire (LT). Passenger car tires are generally more flexible and quieter. I had KO2's on my Jeep Liberty and they were great. Driving fast on gravel roads was giving me lots of flat tires with the passenger car tires it came with. Only flat I ever had...
I don't know how they fixed it, but it hasn't come loose since. Maybe they forgot the glue at the factory.
After reading about the RDU problems, I had the fluid changed in mine and got an extended warranty.
If it doesn't work often, it is a sign that your battery isn't sufficiently charged. There was a recall on the 21-24 Sports, so we got a new AGM battery for free. If you look in the owner''s manual, it will explain the normal reasons the Auto/Stop/Start won't work.
I picked up a Vega for $100 and put in a rebuilt engine with steel cylinders. With rack and pinion steering and a 4 speed manual transmission, it was a blast to drive. I liked it enough to drive it for a couple of years even though I moved down to Tucson, and it did not have AC.
If you're going off-road, that weight limit should be cut in half. That said, I've never come close to 150 lbs. of gear on the rack. Save it for the lighter, bulky things. Hint: don't put a yeti cooler on the rack.
It isn't clear that we have a police presence here in NM, and it isn't...
Five essentials:
1) Backup battery power- jump starter.
2) Viair air compressor with plug kit
3) Hi-Lift jack with Lift Mate (to attach to wheel)
4) Mattock - for digging out. An army shovel is almost as good, but the handle is too short.
5). Recovery Strap
With thsse tools, you can solve most...
You can carry more if you put an ATV cargo rack in your receiver hitch. It lets you carry extra gas to supplement the ridiculously small gas tank on the Sport. And, it might even leave room for a dog.
I have a Smith's supermarket discount card that I put on the inside of the ring, so it covers the panic button. It works most of the time.
I agree, the silly fob is the size of a cell phone. I tried a case, but it just made it bigger. Reminds me of when I was in school and had a case for...
You didn't tell us what you want the radio for. I use Garmin Rinos for hunting. They are great because they have GPS and show the location of the person you're talking to. If you're just talking to your wife following in another vehicle, you may not need that.
Check to make sure your hatch seals are seated correctly. Mine came out a ways and made it hard to close the hatch. Nothing wrong with slamming the hatch. I've pushed mine closed many times, but never on a flat area.
I made something like this to load my canoe on my truck out of some old tent poles I picked up at Saver's. I can load my canoe on my lifted Superduty by myself. 7251290775886023979
