I do recall being surprised that the car seemed to "settle" at each point of the sequence - I believe skipping one of them matters if you want to truly remove all loads but the parking brake. I suspect there is some torque built up in the axle separate from the loading on the transmission -...

I was trying to remember that sequence - I thought it was (1) come to stop in gear and leave foot on brake; (2) engage parking brake; (3) move to neutral; (4) foot off brake; (5) put in park. Am I mis-remembering that? It was designed to take as much load off of the transmission as possible...

I'm still struggling with the idea of securing the track to the engineered I-beam. The flanges are only about 2" thick and there is no structure at all to the "web" - these structural screws are not threaded on the portions that would engage the flanges. Do they make them with threads along...

Will Ford install it even if you buy it online?

A couple of things... (1) bolt tightening: not too tight - but they do tend to back off if not tightened enough - I've been trying to find a small, simple torque adapter to get it to a good torque - most are too big or the torque range not helpful or too small (for bicycles) or too expensive...

If it overlapped the back even a little bit of a flap - you could drive off and have it drain backwards.

I have posted my rain experience on here separately - worth checking out - biggest problem I had was in the visors, behind mirrors and garage door electronics (LUX). Flip them down if rain is imminent - I do wish that bronkini extended beyond the front (no gap) - and trailed above mid-panel -...

Can you elaborate on this? Is it because the OEM version has only one rear crossbar? If so, then Mabett offers a second crossbar. What is the basis for the lack of strength you mentioned? Understanding what you have learned about this could help us with loading scenarios and using the mount...

I still want to see a PakRax designed to work with OEM rails

I hope they take you to the playground - if they do, let me know how you clear the tallest of the mounds. I turtled but I'm not SAS - I think if I had 35 and even that little different amount of lift, I would have made it no problem. VR4 North trail was the most surprisingly enjoyable - it is...

Slide show from trip to Merus with my son, my father-in-law, and a friend of my son.

That's amazing. I had no idea. Though tey said there was no multipoint.

I think the worst thing was when I asked if they checked the power steering fluid because I had some squealing and he said "I don't think they have power steering - they're electric steering systems - and you don't really need to worry about things like fluids because the check engine light will...

Finally bit the bullet on seat back covers and cabin light from Mabett. Not a super deal, but just good enough to convince me.

I have the bag but it is too snug and hard to use on a daily basis - I keep a moving blanket folded up in the back for all manner of things and usually just put one in that and the other on top. Rain is unpredictable around here, especially in the Summer. And sometimes the sun just gets to be...

Fair enough. Not unlike medical insurance claims. But once approved it’s good work.

No, it's ridiculously poor business practice that they don't have a level of service for quick things like oil changes and tire rotations to compete with quick places, but I fully expected an hour - it's the 90 minutes instead of 45 after convincing me to stay and wait instead of leaving it that...

I had exactly the same experience today - they even pushed back on my request for 10k mile tire rotation. The so-called "10k mile maintenance package" lists a number of items - they did none of them and said don't worry - modern cars have warning lights if anything gets low or needs service...

My first car 40+ years ago was a Ford but this is my first one since. I took it in for its first service and a short list of a few post-sale items to have checked out. They said they were really stacked so could I come back next week to schedule service (mainly oil change and balance). So, I...

did you notice these are like $1 each?
