A little OCD for me, also. I bought an independent sensor package that attaches sensors to the valve stems. It tells me pressure and temperature so I can watch changes in real time. This little device backs up the weirdness I've experienced. I've checked the device against the internal sensor...

Did you write your own version of Forscan?

Here's my weird contribution. I do a 5 tire rotation around every 5K, yet my right front always seems to run a pound or so lower every time. It can't be the wheel or the tire. Something in the suspension maybe that affects pressure?

I had to tweak my numbers when I moved to 35s. I measured the circumference manually with the tires under load. Then I put the number in Forscan. When I checked my speed (using various methods) I found that it was still off. I tweaked the number bit by bit until I reached a number that seemed...

To be honest, this model of box is not likely sold anymore. It's at least 20 years old. It has had a long life on a few of my vehicles.

Some engineer at Ford is sitting back and having a chuckle at our expense. I don't mind the high level engineering. I just wish they wouldn't keep such secrets to themselves. Maybe a special note in the service guide?

Hello. Here is my conundrum. A few years ago I installed some sturdy, aluminum handles to help with ingress/egress into my Bronco. Much more recently I purchased the 4 part interior light kit. The light kit looks terrific coming out of the box but I'm not sure if I can install it (see photos)...

You may not want to plug those holes. Just gives water a place to collect, settle and cause problems.

Very nice. I envy the lift. Maybe someday....

I've had these for the last 3 years and they are amazing (or as amazing as bolt on side steps can be). Not a bit of corrosion and they still look as new as the day they were installed (3 Michigan winters is nothing to sneeze at). Very sturdy. Comes with stainless mounting hardware (also no...

I like this idea much better than other ones I've heard in the thread since far.

I wonder if this might help with the awkward sealing of the side windows?

In Michigan it's a losing battle (Winter, salt, bad roads in general, etc.). For us it's a case of learning to embrace imperfections.
