    Garage Clearance after 3/2 Ready Lift and 275 65 r20’s

    An option: Yes, you can likely raise a 7-foot garage door by a few inches, potentially up to 7'6", but you'll need to ensure sufficient headroom and potentially modify the tracks and opener. Here's a more detailed explanation: Headroom is Key: You need enough space (headroom) between the top...

    Spark plug recommendations

    I feel like I was ripped off. Just paid $7.37 for the same boots at RockAuto about a week ago.

    Trailer Sway Control questions

    It was the rv dealer. The rv dealer, manager, sales people were all wonderful. The service tech left much to be desired. My wife and I drove 200 miles home with the trailer hooked up . It pulled fine actually, probably because we didn't know any different. But, trailer rode much better after the...

    Trailer Sway Control questions

    I had the dealer originally set my weight distribution hitch on my explorer. Same reason as you stated. The dealer could not have done a worse job. Ultimately, I read the instructions made a call to the factory support line.....and in about an hour I had re-set the hitch. A couple of trips to...

    Trailer Sway Control questions

    Fwiw: I have this unit. Used for several years with explorer. Now with expedition. I use the lighter spring bars (600-800), as my trailers maxes out at #4500. NEVER any issues...

    TSB 25-2023 - 2018-2021 Exp-Nav - 10R80 Automatic Trans - Harsh/Delayed Engagement And/Or Harsh/Delayed Shift

    that's one way of looking at it. I had an Indy mechanic change my trans fluid and filter at 37k. Vehicle was approx 2 qts shy of fluid . Glad I had it done when I did. trans shifts much smoother niow. There was, however, a bit too much silverery slurry in the fluid as far as the mechanic was...

    2018 Expy Mainenance and Repair

    just picked up my 2021 from indy mechanic. I had a pan drop and new filter and fluid exchange. My local dealer only would do a trans flush. No thank you. He took out 5.5 qts, and, put back nearly 7.5 qts. 37,800 miles. Filter had quite a bit of metal flakes visible in the filter pickup...

    2018 Expy Mainenance and Repair

    Spoke with Ford customer care, three days ago ( Note...I am paraphrasing and this is how I interpreted the conversation). Question #1: can I use full synthetic Valvoline motor oil so long as it meets spec... answer was yes. Question #2: can I install aftermarket PPE transmission pan with it...
