My rear window wiper was beginning to tear.
It lasted 24 months, typical, no complaints there. The front ones were doing ok but weāre starting to feel stiff at the tips and old man winter is knocking at my door so it was time for a new set of wipers.
I stopped at Car Quest in Murphy NC to find a...
My trusty old wonāt die back up car is a 2004 Ford Escape AWD and I cannot get a rotary blade coupler. No longer made, used is not an option for many reasons.
But this tale is not about that. Read on peoples.
The pressurized Coolant tank cracked, steaming away from the small soon to get bigger...
I took a look at my service history and it was crazy. It said I spent $495 at 500 miles. Not true.
I considered my rubber floor Mattās or my rear deck mat being part of this but nope I did those at different times. I had my floor Mattās in before I hit 100 miles.
Said Iāve had two alignments at...
I read somewhere that in really hot weather higher octane can make a performance difference under certain conditions.
Iāve been on 89 for two tanks now and can feel a difference.
Mpgās are no different, still averaging 25.5 mpg in my Appalachian mountains.
I am NOT granny driving nor am I lead...
Ok so, I got a first run Base model back in December 2020
With the beloved Engine cover.
If I Added the hood Insulation would that help my motor warm up faster in the winter, My winters only drop into the teens.
I could care less about sound deadening as even now I have to listen to hear this...
I had $301 in Ford points from a tire purchase.
Got my seat covers for $7.32 out of pocket.
they fit great and are just in so I know more adjustments are coming. All these cool bags came with them.
Guess what the little one is for on the top left of the passenger seat back :āP
Check āemā out ...
For a year now I can easily start my BS from inside my house with no problems.
Now it will not work at home but works fine when I get off work.
I logged into my Wi-Fi last night because it was off. This morning no remote start and it was logged off.
I get to work and do mouthing. End of day it...
At King Ford Murphy N C.
The Bronco was 38,970 plus the triple Tās,
The Maverick was a base FWD for an unbelievable low price of 23,420 plus the triple Tās.
I did the best I could driving my Bronco Sport base up close to compare size and ground clearance.
At almost 14,000 miles I just added about 15 oz of 50/50 mixed Prestone antifreeze to the cooling system. It was below the minimum mark just a little.
Iāve added a little like this to many cars Iāve owned.
Not worried but Iāll watch it, Doing about a 300 mile ride In a couple of days.
At King Ford in Murphy N C Nov 12
Iām gonna do it !
Yokohama Geolander GO15ās going on my BS
Going up just a tad in width to the 235 from my 225ās
Charts say Iāll get roughly a half inch more width and a bit less than a half inch more height.
Treads edge wall should line up perfectly with the...
Ok peoples , quick heads up/warning.
Iām at 10,800 miles and my tread depth gage shows Iām just barely still in the green. All tread channels are about even at 6 mm tread depth. I think they started out at 10mm.
I stay on proper psi but have lots of curves and gravel. I was hoping for 20,000...
If I am out messing with my Sport during the day, playing the radio windows down, then up when I'm done, remote start will not work the next morning.
Seems I am taking the battery down just below peak voltage and this disables that start feature..
I found something on this subject in the owners...
1st was a misaligned rear fender edge skirt, very minor, they noticed it, I didn't. They ordered a part, fixed it. Looks the same to me.
2nd,
The black thang over the rear view mirror keeps falling off it's clip. I noticed it when driving. It pops back into place and falls again a few minutes...
Dog jumped up against my door yesterday looking to get his ears rubbed and see if I had a dog treat.
Them toe nails left a few marks ...
Now I can go out on the trails without worry :'P
I looked in the manual,
Looked in settings on the HUD and cannot figure out how to save a FM station to a preset.
Lots of channels in the lists of presets
But I can find no way to enter/add a new one..
My very steep loose gravel roads are getting dry now. All of the RWD and FWD cars can no longer take the steeper short cut up to their cabins. Only 4x4's can make it up that section now.
I can feel a definite difference from the normal drive mode and the slippery Goat mode with the low gear...
