    GEN 1 Coolant Color - Is this Normal?

    Get a pistol or rifle cleaning rod, and swab the bottom of the reservoir and see if that stuff comes away on a piece of old tee shirt.

    GEN 1 Coolant Color - Is this Normal?

    Did you check the bottom of the expansion tank before driving it around? If not, it may be some residue from before.

    Possible bad gas?

    There is an outside chance that it's the winter gas formula. It's different than the summer formulation, and has less energy by volume. It could be that you got a tank full of gas that your onboard computer is struggling to adapt to.

    Ticking sound from rear wheel well

    You might buy a mechanic's stethoscope. With one of those you can pinpoint any sound on a vehicle.

    tweeters

    Why not surface mount them to the plastic shrouds on the inside of the front doors where the sideview mirrors are?

    Ticking sound from rear wheel well

    I don't hear a ticking sound in your recording, but I would guess that your exhaust system is the source of the sound as it cools.

    glove box cold air

    My mom referred to me as a DRECK. She wasn't wrong, but I used it well! Now, about that glove box... What I'd do is pull the pivoting part of the glove box and have somebody else drive while you try to find the source of the cold air. A length of light thread taped to the tip of a chopstick...

    Should I buy a higher mileage gen 2 Raptor?

My wife decided that her 2013 Ford Edge with just over 200,000 miles on it needed to be replaced. She didn't want to bother with an independent sale and decided to trade it in on...

    GEN 1 Calibration

    It's possible that the "technician" who said it needed a "computer calibration" was a flying monkey in disguise. ;) @roger6834 , I have a 2011 GEN1 with nearly 100K miles on it and have been on FRF for nearly all of the time I've had the truck, and this calibration/recalibration claim is the...

    Dealer increased price after waiting 16 months?!

    I see this as a moral dilemma. You're angry about this evidently for several reasons, one of which is that no one likes to be cheated. And your dilemma is whether to do business with lying, cheating scum, or refuse to do so as a matter of principle. The moral part of this dilemma is this: Do...

    Slotted and drilled rotors

    Oh no, you don't. Pictures or it didn't happen! (It's the FRF rule, ya know.) Also specs - GEN1, GEN2, GEN3, Internet link, part numbers, prices, the works!
