That's an oil cooler? I've wondered if that was its intended function. Damn small cooling fins if it's an oil cooler. Does it perform another function, maybe?

You likely have a short. I had one a couple of years ago, and tracked the problem to dust contamination in the electrical socket on the trailer hitch. A blast of compressed air solved the problem, and now I check that every so often. If you have electrical accessories installed as most of us...

It might be surprising, but there are some dedicated fishermen here in the high desert of northern Nevada. The local newspaper dedicates a whole page to the local fishing conditions, but I have never read or heard that someone was using these shell-backed katydids (Mormon crickets are not true...

Today I was inspired to do something with Armor All that I've never done before. I coated the wheel well liners and mud flaps with it. Why? Bugs. Big ones. Big religious hopping eat-everything-in-their-way hoards of them: Mormon Crickets. They've hatched. Again. It's a stinking, messy...

I rolled my own. I don't like that the cupholder approach keeps you from using a cupholder for anything (WeatherTech), so I took a steel can, riveted a piece of mild steel to it, and then used 3M double-sticky mounting tape to fix a phone holder of my choice to that piece of steel. I put the...

If you own a Raptor R, why are you worried about aesthetics? Function should be your concern, and what you are contemplating is reducing the effectiveness of your headlights. You will likely spend several thousand on off-road lights after having spent several hundred to make your headlights...

If Ford ever builds it, that'll be my decision to make at that time. I won't need anyone's advice.

You know how you go faster the louder the radio is turned up? Works with horns, too.

It's good if you like to check your transmission fluid once in a while. It's really good if you do your own work and service your transmission yourself. It's cosmically awesome if you don't like burned knuckles.

Douglas Adams had the inside track on this. In Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy he posited a switch on an advanced one-of-a-kind starship that had a sign that read, "Do not touch this switch." When the protagonist of the story flipped the switch a little screen activated. It read, "Do not touch...

Thanks for all the help, guys!

Can you please tell me how I did that?

THANK YOU! That worked. It sure takes a very fast stab on that button, though. 13 years and over 100,000 miles. This is the first time that's happened, and I don't know why it happened. Thanks again!

This just appeared on my 2011 SCAB. Trip A has this yellow rectangle with odd symbol on the left superimposed on the normal screen. Trip B is normal. What does this mean and how do I get rid of it, Please?
