    Brake Question

    Also, if the rotors are warped you would fill the brake pedal pulsating up and down as you use the brakes. They should be fine at 55K. You can also use a straight edge to tell if they may be warped. Good luck!!

    Brake Question

    Best pads that I know of are the ceramic type. Don’t fall for the old “lifetime” pad deals. The pads wear out quickly and yes, they will give you new pads but who wants to change pads every year? Stick with the ceramics and you’ll be glad you did.

    What happened to choice in America

    Nice......but that’s sarcasm. Friggin whole world has went crazy. This is NOT the world I grew up in. I miss all the local country grocery stores that fed just the local community, and you could walk to them easily and could get fresh veggies, eggs and fresh everything. If we wanted chicken...

    Does anyone know if ford is using the no fault thermostat in the newer vehicles? If it goes bad it will stick open versus sticking closed, which causes a overheat condition?

    unless you buy from Friendship in Johnson City, TN. You get the full lifetime warranty on the complete drivetrain. I only bought the electrical system warranty was advised and I bought it or obvious reasons. Other dealers may also offer the lifetrain warranty around the country.....

    What happened to choice in America

    I hear what you’re saying....I wished we still had points and condenser and carbs myself. Back then a man could tuneup his vehicle for 10 or 15 bucks, and change oil with no problems. The world I live in is not the same as the world I used to know.

    Fix-A-Flat- bogus or useful?

    Plug kits are great.....inter tubes work great too on those “don’t no if a plug will work” situations. Do they still make inter tubes is the question???

    Power running boards - keep them in OUT position?

    Well you can’t do that because if you open a door while moving the trans will shift to park and cause all sorts of damage, never open a door while moving......

    Another dealer rip off story

    Got a plug kit for each vehicle I own. If it’s a no leak nail or screw and you fix and only lose <2 psi....

    2015 back up camera intermittant

    Welcome aboard William!! Sounds like the backup camera may be getting a tad bit of water into the camera enclosure since it gets worse during rain. To remove the camera you will need to take the panel off the inside lift-gate door to access it. I checked my 18 and there is no way to access...
