Doing some research, I leaned that rotors on the 2001 and 2007 sport bikes I had were made from high carbon stainless steel. So you got the benefits of the high carbon content, but at the same time didn't have to be concerned with rust. I did have a bit of noise on my 2007 bike but I can't say...

That looks like a defective reservoir to me.

Here's an example of what we had attached to new vehicles in the 60's straight from dealerships. Times have changed, haven't they....thankfully.

Some of us are old enough to recall when dealers would drill 2 holes and secure their metal dealer label to the trunk lid.

When I first saw the pics I was reminded of people who drove through residual storm surge water here in Florida last year. But...having had a car shipped to Germany and then back to the US decades ago, I know how corrosive the trip across the ocean can be. It was my understanding that automakers...

Thanks for sharing. I was initially shocked at the recommendation, but after reading more documentation, the recommendation is across Ford engines having a PCM. But...I must have the accelerator at OVER 80% throttle to disable the fuel injectors. Anyway, while I've never had a situation...

I realize Ford took a lot of flack about the Whipple hold, but kudos, kudos, kudos to Ford for a) recognizing there's a potential catastrophic result if one check failed, and b) holding vehicles until the issue was fully understood and addressed. Redundancy checks and balances are a good...

I feel sad for you. Hopefully someday you'll realize what grace is, and how to show it.

I can understand being upset when quality does not meet expectations, but there's another side to addressing issues. Are we wanting to vent? That is natural. Are we wanting to see change? Venting to people who have no ability to accomplish change is probably not the avenue to pursue. Do we...

I recall when radials had low speed "wobble" due to the design/materials. When sitting overnight, especially on cold nights they would become "flat" on the side where the tire was parked overnight. But when the tires warmed up, the flatness would go away. That said, there are still tires that...

Parasitic discharge of add-ons...Including aftermarket camera, Allstate Drivewise, Progressive Snapshot, and etc.?

It would be interesting to hear exactly which label they change, and what field(s) on that label was/were incorrect. Based on the estimated time to fix, I seriously doubt it is the dash VIN label visible through the windshield. Whew!

AWESOME IDEA. Thanks for sharing how the removal process works. I only have a large gear puller, so as an alternative I possibly would use a deep-well socket just the right clearance diameter, and then apply force on the fitting's top to drive the fitting out of the grommet/seal. Of course...

It sounds like Ford may see a risk and is intent on avoiding pointing fingers. Over my four decades of manufacturing career, it was generally the last person who touched the product that got blamed. (The thought process was that the person down the assembly line who also worked on the part...

I can understand Ford holding up certification. Afterall, if there's a known issue, even if small that can generate warranty, they do well to make sure it is right. A seemingly small issue that turns out to be a warranty item can be no small thing on an engine. Warranty claims are money right...

Not sure what color your vehicle is, but on a sunny day it is reasonable the temp goes up substantially. I also learned from my motorcycle days that a LOT of heat radiates off of pavement. I learned on hot days to ride the interstate lane closest to the ambient wind source, as temps rose...

The OP lives in hot humid FL, and living there as well, I understand the use of the AC to enjoy top down freedom with a little less oppressing humidity and heat. Some folks in the far south may think it odd that people in colder climates have the top down, but the side windows up. Having lived...

Is it possible your condensate drain is plugged? I've had that on other vehicles in humid climates before. When that occurred over time I found I had to spray the evaporator with an antifungal solution to clean the mold spores that collected on the cooling fins.

I, like the OP, have had occasion to help others with my fire extinguisher. Thankfully I've not experienced a thermal event myself. If I was doing a HPDE or drag racing, I'd keep one in the cabin for quick action should I have a grenade situation. In the grenade situation, the let it burn may...

I like Saleen's concept but in each of the photos I've seen, there always seem to be stitching a bit wayward (wavy where you'd thing they should be straight). My wife's dad called that being cattywampus.
