Legally they can’t void your warranty over an after-market cold air intake, as long as it was designed for your vehicle. BUT that doesn’t relieve you of the hassle if they elect to ignore the law. i have an unleashed tune on my flex 3.5 L ecoboost, with a tuner box that stores my factory tune...

I agree with OP. This thread is exhausting.

Don’t do the service yourself - take it someplace that will provide a receipt that it’s been done, or you might void your warranty. True story: my 2013 ford flex w/ 3.5 eco boost engine - timing chain stretched (which is a known issue with the first generation of this engine). Warranty...

Still waiting on my bronco, but will share an experience with the 3.5 eco boost that’s in my 2013 flex. I did an axle-back exhaust system (from MRT)plus a tune (from unleashed) and my mpg increased substantially! I knocked 1.5 seconds off my 0-60 times, BUT when I didn’t hot-foot it my mpg was...

i once ran into a situation where a dealer was trying to get me to do exactly that - accept their financing deal and then refi with my credit union shortly afterwards, for the convenience of driving the car home that day. Glad I didn’t fall for it - my credit union explained to me that a refi...

Wherever you go, there you are.

thanks much. they do look nice, and i'm certain i'll be lashing camping/trecking gear to the top. i think i'll go ahead and order some.

I have one on order and am also waiting for my cactus grey wildtrak. What do you think of the pads - are they worth it? Also, are you happy with the grey pads wrt cactus grey? Are those the lighter or the darker grey pads? Tnx!

Haha! Years ago there was a myth-busters episode where they dimpled a car to see if it had less wind resistance and therefore better gas mileage. To their amazement it really did improve their gas mileage!

LOL!! Reminds me Click and Clack. :) I miss those guys…

Oh wait scratch that…. I looked at the pc again and you won’t be able to slide anything under the bracket. Sigh….

This doesn’t look difficult. Drill, then easy-out in reverse because the bolt is flanged. Next use a lug that not only uses the existing hole threads but also slide a backing nut under the bracket. If you can’t find a nut that’s thin enough, simply grind one down. Probably take you 30 to 60...

Apologies, I reported that my blend date was 1/27, which was incorrect. my “in production” date was 1/27.

another data point: 1/27 blend that’s been stuck on ice/mud/dirt mountain on chip hold. email received from ford at 5am this morning, informing me that the build has now been completed, and assigning an EDD of between 4/8 and 4/15. 4dr wildtrak cactus soft lux leather. Converted all other...

Interesting data point. Perhaps my viewpoint is state-dependent. My references are Texas (stale, at 6 yrs ago) and MD (many times since). Dunno.

maybe i'm the oddball here, but i don't believe in automatically freely handing over my value to a reseller, whether its carvana or a dealer or anybody else for that matter, unless there is a very compelling reason for doing so. What is the value that i'm getting in return? Convenience? In...

Doesn't anybody sell their own vehicles anymore? Interesting that only one person in this thread made a casual reference to selling it yourself. I have always cleared way more dollars than what any reseller was offering with my past vehicles, and with only a relatively small amount of expended...

64. I need a 4-door to carry my mountain bike.

my modules are populated and I had an original EDD of Feb 22. I was all excited until they moved my EDD to May 20. At this point I’m LUX Wildtrak with all of my original accessories removed except the keypad. ( decided to go aftermarket for everything instead. That change did indeed...
