    Replace Windshield?

    Safelite will install OEM if you insist and your insurance covers it, mine always did. Non OEM windshields could have clouds or other imperfections in the glass or lamination. Could be issues with glass hardness, sound proofing etc. Or it could be fine. Why take a chance. Yes I'm sure some one...

    List of expensive repairs

    My '16 has I would say zero issues at 44,000 so far. Had to remove the door drain covers as they were getting clogged and holding water. Other than that keeping the oil clean with changes every 3,000 and added a catch can to keep the intake clean. And never ever driving until the engine is at...

    Dents, dents and more dents

    Keep in mind people hate SUVs and will go out of their way to door ding them. Only solution is to park away from everyone else. I have been very lucky with my vehicles in doing this. However my wife drives the 04 and it is loaded with door dings and scratches. She won't park away from the herd.

    catch can benefit

    If one knows how the PCV system works on an engine, then one would know the added benefits of a catch can. Cans have been around since the closed PCV system in the 1960s. Prior to the closed system, oil vapor just drained on the road with a tube. Race cars dump the vapors in the header...

    ford spark plugs

    Just because the engine was replaced, doesn't mean the tech at the shop used the new style plugs....engines don't ship with spark plugs.

    Tail light

    Don't get me wrong I use a pressure washer too, however read up on it, not recommended especially on an engine. Just saying, don't complain about some leaks if a pressure washer is used, it is to be expected.

    ford spark plugs

    A non tapered EZ Out and an impact gun (tapered ones will put too much pressure on the threads and it will never come out)

    DIY Oil Change

    I have the Fumoto valve on my '16 works good and directs the oil 90 degrees down. I change the oil every 3,000 with a Motorcraft filter and semi synth oil. I also leave the felt cover off and get slightly lower tranny temps.

    Driver Side Catch Can - Tell me what you know

    Mostly on engines the driver side is the clean air intake from the air cleaner to the valve cover, the other bank is the PCV suction side where you need the can to keep the oil vapor from getting into the intake system. I have a JLT on my '16 it works very well, need to check it often. About...

    Cost of New Brake Pads and Rotors

    If they are like one shop was around here, they would have cleaned up your parts and said they were changed.

    Stupid Crappy Underbody Protection!

    The felt type shield has to be removed each time to change the oil....I keep mine off. Plus the transmission runs a tad cooler in the summer.

    Is there a way to fix this without replacing the whole part?

    Hot glue gun....

    What the heck is this?

    Look on the roof for something that doesn't belong there (antenna). Two coax cables with SMA is usually a cellular modem. My Expedition has a total of 5 coax cables 2-cell, 2 wifi and 1 GPS.
