I would talk to a Ford rep directly.

What was the change you made?

The benefit to these is you can quickly drape it over while the seat is basking in the sun in the parking lot, and pull it off the shaded, non-scalding seat to drive.

They literally make seat towel covers that hang on the headrest. Soon there will be ones for the Bronco if not already. Perfect for that.

The only downside there, is that the price of the 2023 Gladiator I’d be ordering instead is also going up between 2020-2023.

Aunt Edna Approved!

Exactly…and I think it is misinformation people spread here about Rez order not being a factor anymore. I think they need to understand that the Rez order is NOT relative to ALL timestamps globally, but only specific to their selling dealership’s Rez orders. It is also VERY dependent upon that...

Price protection is the only reason I’m still waiting.

7/28/20 - No VIN. Staying pumped by visiting the Gladiator B&P regularly now. Trigger finger is getting itchy.

I wouldn’t cut the spot welds…I’d use a hole saw to just remove the “dome” area. Unscrew the bolt, thread in new bolt from behind, weld dome back in place. Everything stays in factory position.

They are still scheduling and building 2022s after 3/8. Hell, they are still building 2021s, afaik.

That was a direct response to Ninagel regarding the difference between a ground plane vs a ground. Not a global statement, to be taken out of context, of the the installation of all varieties of all RF electronic devices in perpetuity. :geek:

The radio is electrically grounded to your battery, which is grounded to your chassis. The antenna is grounded to your vehicle body, which is grounded to your chassis. You still need to mount the antenna near a ground plane (reflector), ie. the hood, roof, etc.

From your source: In telecommunication, a ground plane is a flat or nearly flat horizontal conducting surface that serves as part of an antenna, to reflect the radio waves from the other antenna elements. The plane does not necessarily have to be connected to ground. That said, I think you...

I’m not emotional about it at all, lol. I’m just curious about the thought process for those at ground zero that exude semi indifference. It’s an incredibly unfortunate position to be in. I empathize.

For your sake I sure hope so…but what is the hopeful outlook based on? What do you hope they rubbed on your valves that they didn’t rub on the motor next to yours? Are you confident enough to keep it past warranty? If I was in those shoes, I would have another one on order already and trade...

How do you figure that?

Auto start/stop is right up there with automatic seatbelts in the 80s.

Oh, gotcha. Maybe they would snap a pic for you? I think @Lucchese can determine date from the VIN.

Yes but there is a square label on the engine?
