A generous compliment. Thank You. :like:Lots of great insight from Members here. Some of the forum discussions can get rather "messy", :curse:but the majority of the time, we're all looking after one another. :clap: Stellar crosshatch. I've seen some teardown videos on YT and it's amazing what...

Thanks for the thread. :like: I've been pondering this question while running errands. :idea: I checked the viscosity scale, how engine oil is measured in the lab. The difference between 0 and 5 is not like between 50 and 55, but between 50 and 250. Viscosity is a measurement of 1) resistance...

Attached is a logical representation showing the different module and sensor interactions occurring while driving, regardless of mode. I'm showing just to give an idea how complex any modern car is. If for some reason EPAS encounters significant difficulties, there's a limp mode. Regarding...

To compliment the existing discussion, two articles. Ford's EPAS (Electric Power Assist Steering) explained, a quick read: https://www.sherwoodford.ca/blog/electric-vs-hydraulic-power-steering/ Ford's EPAS, the extended cut...

Yes, this is normal behavior; it's the car, priming the fuel system. The sounds most often occur when opening the Driver's door, but can also happen when refreshing status via the Ford pass app, or when Ford and the car are talking. The car will make several more types of sounds when the...

"guaranteed". "scheduled soon". Can they define that? How do they do that versus other dealers placing their orders, possibly ones with stronger sales histories? Does this dealer have some sort of pull with the regional manager? "free delivery". The dealer is comping you for destination and...

Regarding a pause on the battery plant, this is an article from NPR, two days ago. Unions are one consideration. Another, it seems is the locals weren't all that into the new plant...

I agree. It wasn't a struggle. Kind of funny actually. But ya, it took quite a few times of me F-ing with all the different positions of the seat to where the pedal and leg action was just right.

Unless impacting the driving of the car, I'd make note of anything of interest, but not be too concerned. Each vehicle brand, model, even transmission, has it's own series of components and character. The MT in my truck is akin to driving a tractor. In the car? Short-throws, notchy, a bit of a...

Pretty significant wreck above. Reads like the driver is OK. :thumbsup: Took a bit, but it started coming back to me. About 2018, there was a Drake video or something related to Drake and a song. People began walking next to, dancing next to, their moving cars. With no one else in them. I...

@dusman59 is correct. From the 2024 Order Guide: GT Performance Package • 19" X 9" (F) 19" X 9.5" (R) Carbonized Gray-painted Aluminum Wheels with 255/40 (F) 275/40R19 (R) (Summer Only) Tires2 • 19” Brembo Brake System w/ Performance Linings and Black w/ White Logo Brake Calipers • Accent...

I'm using M-1180-Bs in a 2022. "PA6-GF35" is present on the side, which denotes the possible operating frequencies of 433MHz (appears to be EU) and 315MHz (rest of world). I'm also reading comments 315MHz might be used by older models, while 433MHz is new. There's a small spot to scan, but I...

FWIW, I attempted to check variants (C, D, etc.) to see if there was a continuation of the existing series. I received results akin to the discussion occurring of K&N filters. :facepalm:

Have either of you attempted to drive the car for 10 mins or so, to see if the car will learn the new sensors?

I did some random Googling, looking for alternatives. Two Ford sites list only 1180-A and 1180-B. I'm not doubting either of your experiences. I noticed A and B serve primarily Gen 5 (A) and Gen 6 (B) respectively. 2015, when the S550 came about, was when Ford began producing/supporting the...

I read where you adjusted pressures to the prescribed amount and things are better. Glad to read of that. Seeing as how they did not adjust the pressures, there's something else you can check for: shipping blocks. If you didn't know, cars will often ship with a set of foam/rubberized-like...

A bit more detail on the strike expansion. With the exception of Wayne, MI, Ford is unaffected. https://www.npr.org/2023/09/22/1199730114/uaw-strike-deadline-big-3-shawn-fain-ford-gm-stellantis "Workers at 38 GM and Stellantis parts distributions centers, spread across 20 states, walked off...

Good on you. :clap: You were right to walk. :thumbsup: Plenty of other dealers. Park your $ in a Money Market or CD and place an order elsewhere after the New Year.
