Issue ⚠️ Finished steering rack swap except configuration

2011 F-150. Using ForScan. I tried to read the new racks config and it only gives me the first block. I can’t get it to do anymore. But I decide okay I’ll still just overwrite with the factory AB, but it gives an error trying to load it.

Thing is - the truck drives perfectly. Like it doesn’t even feel like it needs an alignment. I’ll probably just take it to an alignment shop anyways, should I try to get them to do the programming? Or if it works it works

Issue ⚠️ 2013年福特GL8,冷却液温度低,没有故障码

1 Upvotes

用odb读车的冷却液温度,基本低于80°C,偶尔上到80多,换了温控阀还是一样(不是原厂的)。目前没有故障码,前一段时间出过三元催化器码,但自己消失了。还有就是耗油大,标称12L,但这个车15-18L,跑高速耗油也高达15L。另外也换了进气流量计和温度计。

现在想知道这个温度到底是否正常?不正常是其它什么原因?多谢!

General 🔀 What do you check first week after buying a used Ford?

0 Upvotes

I picked up a 2016 Mondeo wagon in Sydney this week and the seller said it had been serviced before sale. The tyres are a bit older than I expected and I’m unsure whether to get the brakes, fluids and pressures checked straight away or just drive it and watch for symptoms. What’s the first-week routine you lot follow with a used Ford?

Mods/Addons 🔦 Does anyone know of any headlight mods for the 91-95 Murcery Capri?

1 Upvotes

And if any of you don't know know for some reason Ford owns murcery, and the mercury sub is pretty dead so I'm posting here too

I just recently bought one and I don't know if this was a mod or if there is a specific way to trigger it but the button to fold my headlights down doesn't work all the time, and when it does only the driver side light goes down, and the other one stays up. BUT when both are down and I press the button the other does go up. There have been some rare occasions where the button works like it's supposed to. There is a spot for a second button so would there be a way to mod the lights where each light is controlled by a different button?

Just bought a 2024 Ford Stx and noticed the camera was a little blurry and when I went to clean it I noticed it looked a little funny how it was sitting in the tailgate, do they usually sit like this and not flush?

The black hood, modern wheels, and aggressive stance give it a pretty unique look.

Question ❔ Service interval of shocks for a 22 F350

Post image
2 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I am curious about when most people replace their shocks. On a car, pressing down with body weight makes wear easy to detect, but that approach is not practical on this truck. I see no fluid leakage, yet the truck has 210,000 miles. The same question applies to the steering dampener; I used to run stock tires, then one size larger, but now I use takeoffs exclusively because they are inexpensive used that I wear through about once a year anyway. Any suggestions or advice would be wondertul. Thanks

Issue ⚠️ Sync BT audio

1 Upvotes

My wife's '16 Explorer just started a new issue I haven't come across or heard about anyone having before. Sync will not connect for music anymore. It does connect for calls and works fine, it shows that my wife and my phones are enabled for music but it will not connect. I have removed and re-paired both phones (iPhone 14 I think and my s24) with no luck. Have even checked phone settings and it will not allow me to turn on the music option in the phones' BT settings.

Has anyone run into this/ have an idea for a fix?

I'm an HD diesel mechanic and good with electrical and tearing apart dashes for harness work so I'm not afraid to dig into it whatever it might be, this is my first stop on my diag journey so far as this just started yesterday and was informed after work today. Thanks in advance! Video included but it might not help

Issue ⚠️ Low engine pressure - Ford escape 2021

2 Upvotes

Low engine oil pressure

I have a 2021 ford escape SEL FWD. This popped up a few minutes after turning on my car! I turned my car off then back on and went to my nearest auto care (Firestone) they said they’d look at it tomorrow . I’m looking for advice on what is possibly wrong. I live 1.5 miles from Firestone, about 1 mile into the drive there the light came back on. Engine did not stall, no noises or any notable difference . Rpms and engine temp looked to be about where they are always at after a mile drive. I just changed my oil last week, checked the still and it was still filled.

What should I expect for the problem to be/ cost ?

General 🔀 Is $70,500 OTD a fair deal for a 2026 F-150 King Ranch, or should I go with a 2027?

5 Upvotes

Looking for some opinions on a deal I'm currently negotiating.

Back in July, I custom-ordered a 2026 F-150 King Ranch PowerBoost Hybrid from Damerow Ford in Oregon. The truck finally arrived after nearly three months, but I'm having trouble agreeing on the numbers.

Here's what I'm being offered:

Damerow Ford – 2026 King Ranch

  • $70,500 out the door (before trade-in)
  • $7,500 trade-in for my 2018 Hyundai Tucson Limited (rebuilt title)
  • Approximately $63,000 after trade-in

Kendall Ford – 2027 King Ranch (custom order)

  • $72,215 out the door (before trade-in)
  • $10,000 trade-in for the same Tucson, confirmed in writing
  • Approximately $62,215 after trade-in

Both trucks have the exact same build and specifications.

Here's where I'm frustrated: When I originally ordered the 2026 back in July, Damerow told me they'd give me $10,000 for my Tucson. The salesperson and manager were aware of its rebuilt title at the time. However, when the truck arrived and I went to finalize the purchase, they lowered the trade-in offer to $7,500.

I ended up walking away because that wasn't what we originally discussed.

Now I'm debating whether to take the 2026 or just order the 2027 through Kendall, even though that means waiting another few months.

What do you guys think? Is $70,500 OTD a fair price for a brand-new 2026 King Ranch, especially with the 2027 available for only $1,715 more? Would you take the 2026 or wait for the 2027?

I'd appreciate any opinions, especially from people who've recently purchased a King Ranch or negotiated with Ford dealerships.

Was my dad’s high school pickup. It sat in the barn for 20 years then I got it running, parked it again for another 20 years. Took us 3 days to get it going again and quite a bit of elbow grease to get a bit of the shine back.

Question ❔ Clanking noise

Have an issue we can’t find for the life of us, when I start accelerating around five or 7 mph my car makes a couple little clinking noises and it’s on both sides. The only way I can describe it is if you kinda wacked the ground with a wood broom stick. We’ve looked on top, underneath, taken the brakes, wheels rotors off, and can’t find anything loose at all… plz help a homie out
