Agree with others: drilling into the factory rims is not something I'd do.
It's not worth the risk. I'd always be doubting myself and what could happen. If driven on the street and there was an accident, an insurer would be looking to wash their hands of the whole thing, even if the wheels...
I wait until the Cylinder Head Temperature gauge is 185 F / 85 C and steady before driving aggressively. Until that happens, I drive normally, almost gently.
We've had a few temperature-related threads. Below is a Google search for 7G info...
The 7G requirement is SP or higher. It's OK to mix Motorcraft 5W-30 SP and SQ together.
In the API article, the tables show that the current category meets or exceeds previous specifications...
I have a Ford Mach 1 indoor cover.
I'm noticing some of the same distinctions with the Dark Horse covers.
Indoor/Outdoor:
- Indoor. Microfiber, with a felt liner. Most people buy/use the indoor cover. It cannot be used outside.
- Outdoor. Microfiber. There is no mention of a liner. Could be...
Option 1 ($):
If buying one tire, I would not place the old and the new at the rear. The difference in circumference could affect the operation of the Limited Slip Diff. One tire is going to spin faster than the other. Place old and new at the front.
With the old and new at the front, you...
I believe there is one forward-facing light sensor (camera) and one infrared emitter/receiver in the rearview assembly. There maybe more.
From reading of other models, I'm left with the impression some of the security electronics are there as well. A "jostle meter" (my word), to detect if...
There is a gel inside the rearview mirror assembly. The purpose of the gel is to maintain the proper refractive index of light and electronic signals as they pass into and through the windshield.
As energy waves pass through glass at an angle or a medium of a different density, those waves...
I'm out West. Skye is stored during the Winter. But my Daily Driver and others see temps as cold as -10 F / -23 C. My DD is approaching 20 years old. While I have a light patina from the seals, it's rubber and dirt only.
Ford put the 7G through extreme cold and heat tests. I'd think if...
I hadn't noticed mine rubbing in any way. Went out to check just now. 2022. Garage kept. Trunk opened and closed countless times. Zero rubber marks to be seen. Never a leak.
7G has had some threads on panel fitment. This is the first I can remember involving the trunk seal rubbing.
You're...
Different piece, but the person installing my PPF noticed one of my hood vents wasn't bolted down. It was just sitting, bare posts in holes keeping it in-place. Maybe I would have eventually caught it. He saw the problem while he had the hood liner removed.

In the Owners Manual, Ford recommends changing the oil before and after storage. Ford also recommends occasionally running the engine while in storage.
During the combustion process, two oxides form. Sulphur oxide, from burning fuel. Nitrogen oxide from the use of the atmosphere. Combined with...
News involving Marti Reports would travel quickly, in threads or reported articles.
FWIW, I've not heard or read any news of them no longer providing the service.
Negotiating an update to the existing contract could take time. Ford and Marti might be using new systems. Transfer or access to...
An entire section is dedicated to pre-collision assist. Attached is an excerpt.
The feature/s used both the camera and the radar sensor.
Pre-collision assist is active at 3 mph/5 kph and higher.
There are adjustments the driver can make and limits of the system. The manual explains those in...
This is cool. These have been listed on eBay in the last day or two.
"Ma" is the pronnounciation of the Mandarin symbol for horse. Depending on how said, it can note a horse, a mother or ask a question.
The symbol on the side of this S650 die cast is the Chinese zodiac symbol for horse.

Fraud case, no. Ford makes it clear in web pages and documentation that, while the features are a Ford product, they are not necessarily available in every model, every trim level. It depends.
Confusion, yes. Ford is not clear in what vehicles have features like these, almost any model year...
This, +1.
Get an additional quote, preferably two more. For greater detail on the process and better definition of pricing.
Clarify to the shop if you'll be paying out of pocket, using insurance or ask for two quotes. Pricing between the two can sometimes be huge. The money spent working...
