Oh, Premium Floor Liners. Carpet I guess instead of plastic or nothing at all.

Any text or option code associated with that price in the window sticker or sales contract?

The times you have operated the A/C, is the condensing water emptying out into the pavement, as expected? The heater core is always on, always has hot water circulating through it. I haven't studied the ducting before, but I'd expect the heater and A/C evaporator cores to be separated, in their...

The decrease in temps when the A/C is on is normal. When the A/C is turned on, so the A/C works efficiently, at least one cooling fan engages. Some in the southern states on the hottest days, if not already doing so, will turn the A/C on. My '22 has the same behavior.

If I place it at all, I rest it on the dash. Everyone in my area without a front mount does same. I've never been pulled over, questioned about it or been hassled over it. IMO, LEOs, at least in my area, are encountering much more significant issues than a missing front plate. YMMV.

As the unibody and later vehicle structure traverses the assembly line, it's placed on a rotating carriage, allowing for 360-degree spins. The bolts connect the car to the carriage. At the given moment (not to soon! :giggle:), the car is disconnected from the carriage. The bolts are considered...

I have a '22 with the HP splitter and belly pan. At the front edge, it measures 6 inches / 15.25 cms of clearance. But at the lowest point, underneath, it measures 4.5 inches. / 11.4 cms. The Owners Manual advises it's best not to attempt grades greater than 7 degrees. For maintenance, Race...

I put mine in storage at first snow. There's the brine solution used. Along with it being a salt, I've found it somewhat tacky, to stay on surfaces. Grit from sand laid. Most trucks do not have mudflaps, so it's akin to getting sandblasted sometimes. Ice accumulation throughout the...

I was familiar with several deaths involving Jeeps, Ram Trucks, gear shift knobs, vehicles coming out of gear, people getting run over, etc. I later found a recall from Hyundai involving wiring. I then googled, "vehicle safety cannot move when door open", and found several models and years...

There's one Toyota in my area with the Lime Rush color. On a 4Runner in the Sun, it looks nice. Ford has metallic Sunshine Yellow (Gold/Yellow). Again, on a clean vehicle in the Sun, it can present well. No offense to anyone considering. Colors like this, if buying and holding, all the best...

No, you are correct. I prefer checking hot; IMO, that's the closest to seeing at what level the engine is running at. Cold, is more of a time, like 1 hour or the next day? Ambient air temperature of the car now versus last week? Just seems different or a more inconsistent.

The Owners Manual has a few comments on oil checking and consumption. With respect to checking, Ford recommends [I prefer] doing that when the engine is at it's normal operating temperature (hot), 15 mins after shutdown, on a level surface. With respect to oil consumption, Ford mentions it can...

Disclosure: I'm not a lawyer. I've never filed a warranty claim. From the 2024 Warranty Guide, Page 19. "aftermarket parts or components, sometimes installed by Ford Motor Company or an authorized Ford dealership, may not be covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Any damage caused to...

These are things I can think of. I wouldn't go too crazy at first. Go slow. There are some really nice sets out there, at sometimes good prices. But the larger the set is, you often end up with several specialized bits you rarely use. I grew up with Craftsman, so I gravitate towards that...

When training/learning, Ford recommends keeping 3 ft / 1 m distance from other Ford wheels. I recommend further, like the far side of the garage. Even if confused, yes, they should automatically sync within the first tens of yards/meters of driving, with no other traffic around. Ford's units...

^ This, +1. When driving on the street, it's not a good idea to run below 1/4 of a tank. If on a course or track, many will start with a 1/2 tank, then top up on break. Those with aftermarket pump setups or configurations might have other guidelines. It's to help keep the pump protected, to...

I've seen two impediments to getting fuel out by siphoning. As @Bikeman315 :thumbsup:points out, the difficulty of getting the right-sized hose into the tank. At the bottom of the neck, there's at least one "X" restrictor, like a cross; the small hose has to enter one of the four openings just...

To compliment the discussion, it'd be a good idea to confirm a filler funnel exists, for anyone's car. Odds are it's there. But the driver might not be familiar with it and why used. The cap-less system relies on two flaps. A nozzle of the correct size and length has to be inserted in the...

Some additional thoughts on safety: - Never buy a used charger or tender - Only purchase from a known vendor or business - Install and use the device per the instructions

A byproduct of the charging process on many batteries is hydrogen gas. If charging, I'd rather keep the unit in a well-ventilated place and away from any other sources of ignition (hot water heater or furnace). If not charging, the unit could be stowed potentially anywhere. I'd prefer away from...
