    Ford App - Remote Features Disabled to Preserve Battery

    Different things are at play.. AGM does not recover from being dead; this can happen in transit or on the lot (before your time with the vehicle). The vehicles have all these approach sensors and are constantly looking for the key; this will drain the battery. I turn off the approach light...

    Coldsnap froze my windshield wiper fluid?

    You can’t top it off, you drain it, then refill with the purple -35.. Now that it’s busted flush it and use -35 going forward, it much better anyway . Just not available in CA.

    2023 Rental XLT's Popping Up Everywhere - A Good Buy?

    Rentals probably do not have the TSB or recalls done, so recalls time out so do not. Economy and parts is debatable under Mr die job, so I’d pass. If I recall right, OH is U-Haul…. FL is a title wash state, so branded vehicles don’t exist. Code of Hamurabi applies

    Update on Tranny Rebuild

    Dealer trying to scam me?
