If you have a trailer kit, all you need is a trailer light tester plugged in to make the BCM think there is a trailer attached. That disables the auto-stop/start too.

Full synthetic, synthetic blend, or full conventional oil (which does not come from dinosaurs, but is largely made up of decomposed plant material) really doesn't matter in regards to how long the engine will last. The only difference is lifespan of the oil. Conventional oil should be changed...

What is "old school adaptive cruise"?

This is the GT bird. 1997 Thunderbird with a 2003 Ford Explorer 4.6 V8 (Windsor Aluminum Plant block, 80lbs lighter than the iron block), bowl ported PI heads, PI/NA Stage 2 cams from www.modularheadshop.com, cams are degreed and using Trick Flow adjustable crank gears, Ford Performance PI...

The reason I use Premium (91 octane is all that is commonly available near me, I believe two stations have 92, but are not close enough to make it worth driving there for gas) is because in my area, most 91 is non-oxygenated. That means better MPG, and I prefer to use what is recommended for...

Yeah, I know the MPG estimate is not real world driving, and I always take them with a grain of salt. Although I was told different back in 1990 when I took driver's ed, I find on modern cars with modern overdrive transmissions, computer controlled fuel injection, and other technology over the...

While not the most scientific research, since the 1.5 Ecoboost inline 3 is used in the 2020 Focus as well as the 2021 Bronco Sport, I looked it up on Rock Auto and it is in fact a timing belt.

And we did 210 miles today. 140 were with cruise set between 60 and 68mph depending on posted limits in northwestern Wisconsin, and 70 miles with cruise set at 75mph through rolling hills of Northern Minnesota. The dash showed 33mpg at the lower speeds, it fell to 30.3 indicated after the...

First tank on our Bronco Sport base. 30.004 mpg calculated. 28.4 indicated. Avg 45mph.

Well, the video does specifically state "camshaft chains" and the graphic shows chains on the timing set. I'd say it's a timing chain based on that.

My take as a middle aged car guy who pays attention to the little stuff. Yes, modern oils are MUCH better than the stuff we had 30 years ago when I started driving. But, contamination is still a thing. The oil life monitor is handy, but it's a guide, not a rule. It's your vehicle, so you do...

Hello everyone! I'm Woody, a long time Ford fan. My wife and I walked into our local dealership this morning with our 2018 Edge SEL and walked out with a 2021 Bronco Sport Base, Black on Black. There were 17 miles on the clock when we picked it up, no special order, but it literally just...
