Thanks, that was interesting. I have 55k on my BSBB 3 cyl and hove no engine noise or power loss, however I have used synthetic 100% oil in stead of the blend and I have stayed away from the 0-20 and gone a step up to 5-20. Just feel it lubricates better and has kept the valve chatter down...

Watch the Octane rating of your gas. 87 is the Regular most places here and that is what my manual calls for on my 2022 Big Bend. I have 50K and get a bit of rattle on idle and that is it. Make sure your oil is full, sometimes low oil will cause valve chatter as well as wrong octane. What...

Just like Robins21 I have worked on cars for around 60 years and you can get cut on a lot more than this. I don't think FORD will make a recall out of it, but it was nice of you to tell them. Those Customer Service Reps need to keep busy. Sorry, but if your wrench slips, will you call them...

Tuff Skins are now 3 years old with no problem. Check my profile next to this. Front and back. Also a Flag in each rear window.

Walmart sells AGM 179-189 for a three year warranty, installed. Mine works fine, and Ford paid for it.

The installer should have completed that as part of the installation. I would call them and ask why it was not included and complain loudly.

A mouse only needs a 1/4" square hole to enter into a space. The reason is a simple one, they have a skull that is in either three or four sections that will collapse as they find resistance, so basically the size of a pencil eraser on the top is large enough. I live in the National Forest in...

I live in the Natx4ional Forest, in New Mexico. I have had mice constantly, so I use a old farm trap that DOES WORK. A simple bucket. Fill the bucket or pail about 2/3 to 3/4 full of water. Put a block, 3"X4" of wood in the water so it is floating. Prop a 2X4 board leaning on the bucket to...

Bad news my friend. If you note on each end of the piece you show there are "anchors" that attach to the inside of the door glass channel. Are you going to use the "dry" or "wet" method for the install? If the wet install, you may insert the tint into the bottom of the window with a "putty...

What price?

Talk to an Independent body shop, they have a simple filler for it. However, I don't think I would fix it. It is a parking lot ding and that is not a big deal. Kid is OK, Mom has probably settled down by now and forgiven you for giving him the keys. lol

Looks to me like a simple enough job. Did you check for the part and price at some other places? I bought the EVAP Unit at O'Rileys for half of the cost of the local dealer. Just a thought.

Removing, replacing and repairing that will take every bit of 6-plus hours. Ask your local body shop what they charge for 6 hours labor and I think sandpaper is a better idea. Removing the bumper is NOT an easy job, and takes 2 people to lift it off and put it back. I vote for sandpaper. lol

How do you think they stay in business? Those big signs cost a lot of bucks! jkernitzki said it well.

You have made 24 Payments on your current car, plus any down payment you made when purchasing. How much is that? Now your payment is going up $49. per month for how many months, 72 or 84? Let's say your payment it only $450 now, that is 450 times the 24 payments, plus the 500 per month for...

A driveshaft needs to have play to compensate for the movement of the engine and or the frame along with other items that do flex. I will say it should be OK with 1/8" or so, meaning I don't think that is your noise. Your noise, does it happen while driving or when you start out? Did you...

Here is the link to the "Newsweek" article about the feature: https://www.newsweek.com/automatic-start-stop-technology-new-cars-fuel-efficiency-2071062

The "Stop" feature is mandated by the EPA in their rules for a "cleaner environment" so the dealer cannot eliminate it without a violation. It is like removing a seatbelt, that is a NO-NO. That said, you can purchase a FORSCAN tool on AMAZON and they are less than $100 for a good one. Then...

You should have the "skid plate" under your car, am I right? Even the felt ones I mean? Now if you do have a small leak, the protection plates will in fact catch the drip in your garage so you won't see it. You would need to park without those to see the leak, however if the tech at Ford...

Backup about 18" and take another photo. Are you speaking about the "white line" the length of your windshield or just the small circle stone chip? Also, I can see what appears to be a "sensor with wires" in the photo by the steering wheel. Is that something else? Show a shot of the seat as...
