    Running board coating repair

    Little late but I went to tyro coatings in calgary. Yep, chemical stripper first and just peels off. Coaters mention they still need beadblasting to get a course surface.

    Brakes and Rotors

    I know there's a bunch of f150 threads on this already but had mine brought in for vibration at hwy speed braking hard and looks like rear ebrake actuator was seized and caused rotor warping and vibration. Not sure how it would effect front rotors. Was fine till I brought it in to the dealer...

    GEN 1 Gen1 vs competition V.ride

    Has the gen1 ever been tested as for some kind measurement for how much the road gets absorbed? Also comparably against the gen2 and competition. Was always curious how it compares. Not seat of the pants but measured.

    Broken locking lug nut

    Have a question on dealership damage. So this lock set is a factory ford part, aren't they liable for damages? They can probably pass it off still to whoever torque them down previouis, which was another ford dealer.

    Wheel locks

    I need replacement wheel locks, has anyone found any? Didn't think it would be this hard.

    Broken locking lug nut

    Option 2 is welding a nut on the end and filling in a bit of the opening. Isolating the stud and wheel from heat. Option 3 is just chipping away at it till there's nothing left. Too bad there isn't a small version of a air hammer with sharp chisel.

    Broken locking lug nut

    Plus a $**t ton of penetrating oil. There's about 1/2" of meat left at the bottom base that hopefully the socket can get a hold of.

    Broken locking lug nut

    I'm thinking either that or using the kit socket and one of those adjustable T style breaker bars to get a center torsion so the socket doesn't twist off torward where the opening is.

    Broken locking lug nut

    Might pose to be a challenge actually. Dealer sent a pic of it half split so the sockets won't have much to grab.

    First one failed for me. Passenger side temp control. I assume beside the nav which will help replacing.

    Steam at stop light

    Isolated to the inlet. Whats also weird is that the outlet down a little farther was wet. Also the cooler oil was sludgy where as the fluid in the trans pan was clean red on the dipstick.

    Steam at stop light

    Just realized thats the trans oil cooler. Assumed it was coolant causing the steam. So that means have to go down and check level to maker sure its still ok.

    Steam at stop light

    Found it. Everything was damp from driving but dried up this morning. Just not sure if its the rad or hose. Sort of remember someone on here having to replace that front one. Any ideas? Could pressure up a small amount and check for leaks.

    Steam at stop light

    Anyone get a bit of steam every once in awhile? It's winter here and noticed a few times. Can' t really see anything. Looks like the small front rad could be a bit damp. Don't want to have a blow out.
