Since IIRC this is rack and pinion steering, this would be adjusted by adjusting one tie rod end out and the other in. Will slightly change how far each direction your wheels can turn but not by enough to be noticed. It's...possible...to do this yourself in the garage, but you've got to make...

IIRC someone had posted a thread at one point about how their vehicle got pulled for a random quality inspection - meaning they went back over the whole thing to make sure everything was correct. He wasn't able to find that out until after the vehicle was at the dealership. It's possible you've...

I put my old adjustable hitch in the Bronco (a cheapy) because I have a better hitch for my truck that is rated for what I tow with it. The adjustable hitch (this guy) is rated for a 5k trailer, which is more than the Bronco is rated for and more than I'd ever want to put behind it anyway. Due...

See that's different because you actually wheel. The vast majority of people don't, and at most will drive down some trails where they'll never need half to 3/4 of the capability of a Bronco. And even at that, I'm not saying others SHOULDN'T make mods to their vehicles if they feel like it...

Given that you live in Michigan, it's entirely possible to end up in some pretty unlikely scenarios at the worst possible moment. I've seen some WILD stuff here.

F150 or Super Duty Tremor? I'm not as familiar with the F150, but the Super Duty Tremor is already pretty level from the factory - I know, I have one. I echo a lot of people's sentiments on this thread. We got the Expedition as a people mover, and got it with the 'special edition' package to...

Maybe, but I remember seeing a list of everything that this conglomerate owned...and that many aftermarket companies going out at once are going to leave a MASSIVE void in the market that won't be easy to fill. It's going to negatively impact everyone else for a bit.

While it's not a true 'torque to yield,' one-time-use is basically the same thing. And I'm not a fan...though it turns out our Challenger also has them (on tie rod ends, just replaced them this weekend). I miss the old days when there were physical preventatives in place.

Yeah...wondering if it's going to get expanded in the future to include all of them? Though so far (knock on wood) our '24 seems to be fine.

It's something to keep an eye on, but if you got enough misfires to make the CEL flash, that tells me you're actually getting misfires while driving but not severe enough to make the CEL flash or set a code. Usually it means your tune isn't right for the mods you've done - or at least that's...

I gotta say, I'm not so sure this is 'as built by Ford,' since with 13k miles on it it's already got a new set of tires - those aren't factory tires on any model I'm aware of. If it's been lifted or any of the suspension has been worked on, without a cross-hole for a cotter key there's a good...

Yes, nylock nuts CAN back off, especially if they're subjected to a lot of heat. But if torqued properly even then they should stay put. Have I heard of it in this particular instance? No. BUT this is why I much prefer the castle-nut style joints, that have a torque spec AND a cotter key to help...

That's why we've been getting them on newer vehicles. With all the electrical controls on these things, the costs to repair are astronomical, even if you DO take it to an independent shop. Just a few bills like yours and the warranty has paid for itself.

You're likely outside the timeframe to be able to get a Ford ESP on that. And the VAST majority of 3rd party extended warranties aren't worth a whole lot.

If you had the same driver driving the same course in the same controlled conditions, the heavier 4-door SHOULD get worse mileages. They'll be close, but there should be a difference. Should. Of course, as with all mass-produced things, there will be some outliers. It's possible you got one...

While I agree that there's already a couple threads on this that could be found with a search, I'll chime in anyway. There's a LOT of factors that go into what you're going to see as mileage. Your configuration is going to matter - a 4-door Sasquatch should, in the same driving situation, get...

If it was hooked up properly when you left, it shouldn't have been an issue. I would suggest having your neighbor go check on it - one of the clips could have slipped off, something/one may have unplugged it, or something may have tripped a breaker on the circuit your tender is plugged into...

Like others have said, there is no aftermarket component that will increase the value of your vehicle for resale. In fact, anything you HAVE added, you may want to remove and offer up later, either to 'nudge' someone who is tetering on buying it, or on FB marketplace or even the classified here...

Agree with the above, though I have a fondness for the rounded 'car caddy' dollies. They can be chocked, some have brakes on them, but they are curved to prevent flat spots on the tires. They also allow the vehicle to be moved if needed without being started, or to be put in a more 'out of the...

I have never carried a phone in my back pocket - front pocket is preferable because if someone's going to try to pickpocket me they'd better be willing to cop a feel. And because I don't wear skinny jeans I can sit down just fine with a phone in my front pocket.
