    Reverse Rake on stock Timberline ("Cali Lean")?

    Thanks... yeah, I was probably better off not knowing what I know now.

    Reverse Rake on stock Timberline ("Cali Lean")?

    I suppose I do. It's very subtle, which is probably why it took so long for me to finally confirm my suspicions.

    The perfectionist in me says, "no", lol

    Reverse Rake on stock Timberline ("Cali Lean")?

    Does anyone else w/ a Timberline here notice that their front end is raised slightly higher than the rear? We have a '22 Timberline (w/tow pack.) that's all OEM and I've always thought that the front looks slightly higher than the rear. Well I finally got around to taking measurements... the...

    2022 Timberline w/ lift

    If the rear wheel is being pulled forward due to the lift and the resulting link bar angle, wouldn’t this mess with the pinion angle of the driveshaft as well? Seems like this could cause some unwanted vibration and/or premature joint wear.

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    Interesting point... for what it's worth, mine had JUST came off of the delivery truck. In fact, then didn't even know they had it in inventory. They thought they had sold their last Timberline, and then when they checked the system, the saw the delivery and immediately pulled it around -...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    It's a shameful state of affairs with these dealers. I did the repair over the weekend using a repair kit I purchased off of Amazon... only needed one of the hose couplings, and used a hair dyer to heat the hose like in the YouTube video I shared. It still leaked a little after this, and so...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    Thanks for the reply. Unless I'm looking at the wrong part, it looks like the part I need is backordered. :/. Big surprise... it's probably a known issue, thus the run on the part. I've just ordered a generic repair kit from Amazon and will try to repair it in the manner shown in the YT...

    Actually, rather than buying the OEM tube from Ford and messing with their connectors, etc., I may just get one of these kits and do what this guy is doing. Looks like he's making the repair on a VW, but the tubing is similar: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X_f7mb-OXlQ

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    So here's another photo, taken after I removed the trim pieces from both the liftgate and above/below the jamb. This specific washer fluid hose that's split is the one that runs to the backup camera washer. In the photo you can see the hose run upward and out the large hole that eventually...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    I'm posting updated photos below in a moment.... it's not a split loom, but rather it's the fluid hose itself. Some sections of the hose are corrugated like this. It's for back up camera cleaner, which has never worked... now I know why.

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    You said "that is surrounding the washer fluid hose", but that's not true. There is nothing inside the "wire cover", because it's not a wire cover, it's the fluid hose itself. There is no split that runs lengthwise on it, because it's not a wire cover. Strange, I know... it does indeed look...

    What is the purpose of this thing (wire protector?) in liftgate jamb?

    So evidently this is actually a section of the rear wiper fluid hose. I've looked at the diagram(s) on Ford's part website. What threw me off was that: 1) the rear wiper fluid sprayer still works (maybe because when the liftgate is closed there is enough of a seal to still permit fluid flow)...

    Nope. At least, not presently.
