    How to replace passenger airbag inflator module

    No feet on the dash isn't to protect the module. Its to keep the airbag from folding the passenger like a deck chair if "shit happens".

    Is all the "fuel saving" tech really worth it in the long run?

    They also know how to make right angles and how to use a level. Besides, when the zombie apocalypse occurs, their standard of living won't change.

    Radar Detector Mirror or sunroof switch power/ground tap

    Only two states ever outlawed radar detectors: VA and CT. CT finally relented a long time ago. DC has never allowed radar detectors.

    Tighten the hitch on the ball. There will always be some slack in that connection. Just a part of towing.

    2012 rear wiper odd problem

    I'd say you should here something from the motor, jammed or not, even if its just a click. To be honest, I'm not very familiar with the physical arrangement of the rear wiper assembly. But, if it works in one physical position but not another, that sorta zeros in on the possible causes. Just...

    how much oil do you get back when doing oil changes?

    You should know that before you drain the oil if you're checking your oil level consistently.

    Foul smell when starting 2017 Expedition

    Ozone generators ionize airborne particulates and cause them to drop to the floor. Thats how they eliminate odors. They do nothing to the mold farms in the AC system.

    Foul smell when starting 2017 Expedition

    There are several products made to disinfect AC vent systems in cars. Most involve spraying a thick, foaming substance into the dash vents and letting it soak for a time. I've never done that so I can't recommend any specific brand. As a last resort, take a drive to Death Valley and let is...

    Sync 3 navigation

    I don't have an android (I have an iPhone), and at least Carplay allows you to get back to the Sync apps, including climate. Its clunky, but it does work.

    Foul smell when starting 2017 Expedition

    Foul smell when starting 2017 Expedition

    Inside or outside? Ventilation system on or off (heat or AC won't matter at start)? I'm guessing a moldy evaporator. Virtually every AC evaporator will produce that smell over time, and in cars its usually around late summer/early fall when people notice it the most. Sometimes the cure is as...

    Unfortunately for us old school pranksters, they solved that issue decades ago.

    Transmission Shudder after Transmission Service at Dealer

    A locking TC produces the same issue when the friction pads can't grip the input shaft. The locking motor cycles on and off, rapidly, producing the "shudder" or "rumble strip" sensation. Shudder fix in a can is just a friction additive, and does nothing to fix the worn pads...it just makes...

    How Bad is This?!?

    Don't ever do that. With the plug out, the 'stuff' that comes out of the plug hole is essentially a fuel-air explosive (FAE), just looking for an ignition source.
