Be sure the dealer performs/uses the updated Coolant System Flush Bulletin SM 52357 when changing the water pump this time. This bulletin was not released until after the water pump was changed on my vehicle the 2nd time. It requires that they flush the entire coolant system as part ofthe water...

fjbear!, there are a lot of posts about water pump problems on the 1.5L engine. Not everyone has the problem but a lot do. I would suggest to just keep an eye on the coolant level in your reservoir tank. If you see a significant drop or have to keep adding coolant, you might get it checked out.

While I did not lose my radio presets, I did have my audio Fader/Balance setpoint reset to default. I only noticed that later when I was listening to the radio.

06/09/24 Followup. Ended up being in NZ/OZ 16 weeks. Battery voltage with solar charger was 13.44vdc upon my return. Reconnected the negative battery cable. Performed the Battery sensor reset procedure. Started right up. Little bit of brake noise from the rusted rotors, which quickly wore off...

Major Kong. Unfortunately the closet place I can find Non-Ethanol fuel is 40 miles away. I'll top off Sunday, but it won't be all the way full when I leave. But thanks for the suggestion and I was planning to do that already Michael.

Thank you all for your input on fuel stabilizers. I think I will follow the advice to disconnect the battery while I am gone. But I'm going to just disconnect the negative cable and insulate it. Then connect my 13 watt solar charger across the battery terminals. Without the parasitic loads of...

Searched the Forums first hoping this question had already been asked and answered. No luck. I'm leaving Monday Feb 12th for 12 weeks vacation in New Zealand and Australia. Started using non-ethanol gas three fill ups ago in my 2023 BS-BB. What are your recommendations for a Fuel Stabilizer to...

I have seen so many postings about water pumps failing and it taking weeks to get a replacement water pump. I decided to go ahead and order one to have on hand, when/if mine fails. Fairly cheap insurance. Ordered it from ford.oempartsonline.com That way I won't be paying for a rental car while...

2023 BS Big Bend, 3200 miles so far. 30.33 mpg average, 28.01 mpg lowest, 33.61 mpg best. All figures are calculated, not the dash display numbers. Dash display numbers are usually show 2-3 miles better than actual. 75% highway, 25% city. VA, MD, PA and WV

Just a Google inquiry. General opinion is a 1-3% reduction in MPG. As you say, well worth it if it cuts down on the bug splatter.

What about effect on gas mileage? Has anyone compared MPG before and after installation of the Aeroskin II deflector?
