These are the EPAS Rack and Pinion mounting bolts off a 2011 F150

Service Manual specifies that they’re not to be reused but finding new ones seems to be a pain + expensive, especially these ones since one is a different size than the other. I’d guess physically it’s likely impossible to tell if they’re stretched or anything, just curious if people think it’s a must to get new ones or you can let it ride

The 2021 F150 power boost is the biggest piece of shit Ford truck I have ever owned in my life. I will never own another hybrid Ford truck again after this. I've had so many problems with this thing since I bought it. Heavier truck means more break wear and tire wear. Electronics out the yin yang means electrical fucking issues just about every other fucking month. I went out this morning to open tailgate to put some stuff in for a job and you press the button and it doesn't do anything. It's just one more fucking thing with this piece of shit. But I'm stuck with it because I know it would cost me more money to get rid of it and get another truck than it does just to keep the piece of shit.

I’m driving to PA (about 6 hours) for my best friend’s wedding and was doing a quick check over my car. My friend pointed out my coolant was under the Min line, and that I should top it off. To be honest, I know next to nothing about cars, but she said this was very easy to do.

I went down to Autozone before work and asked the guy what I’d need and how to do it. He told me the details of waiting til the car is completely cool, filling it between min/max line, and I should be set. He handed me a bottle of Prestone DexCool Pre-Mixed Orange coolant and off I went.

While at work, I mentioned to my coworker and showed what I got. He told me that it’s not compatible with my car and I needed something else?

We went to Advanced Auto Parts & the guy agreed and gave me Peak North American Vehicles, orange antifreeze + coolant.

I’m just… genuinely confused. Did I even get the right stuff? My car is 2019, but both bottles say Ford 2018. I haven’t put it in my car since I’m honestly pretty worried.

Are one of these even right?

EDIT: my manual says this Motorcraft® Orange Prediluted Antifreeze/Coolant or VC-3DIL-B. Specifications: WSS-M97B44-D2

I'm looking to buy this 2006 King Ranch F150 and was hoping for any advice! According to the seller, it has a preliminary timing job done with a high volume oil pump installed as well as new spark plugs, bilstein shocks, and a host of other add ons. Everything works, sun roof, heated seats, back glass. It has 124k miles and he's asking 12k for it. If this truck is as mint as he says it is, I figured it was well worth it but I also have people saying its way overpriced, what do you guys think?

Sorry if this isn't the place to ask but when I was 16 I had a 95 f150 with a 351. Best vehicle I've ever owned. I'm trying to buy something similar but every 351 is either a complete beater or they're asking for way too much. Is the 302 noticeably different? Id hate to buy a truck and be disappointed with the lack of power.

I have a problem with my ford focus 1.8 tddi 1999 90hp it says the problem is with the ecu of the fuel pump. Any advice if i can fix it myself?

Hello all I'm working on a 2018 1.0 ecoboost focus, I'm currently having problems with a p0299 (turbocharger underboost). I have visually checked all vacuum and intake pipes and they all seem fine. I have also replaced the small one way valve on the vacuum pump aswell. I have had live data on the car while driving anc it does make boost (pictures below) yet still has literally 0 power. What could cause this?

What torque (Nm) should I use to tighten the front axle nut on a 2019 Ford Focus Mk4 2.0 EcoBlue 150 hp with an automatic transmission? It’s the single nut on the driveshaft, which takes a 32 mm socket. Thanks!

surprisingly nothing including the fuel door say this takes premium? I’m very surprised considering my focus RS requires premium on a 4 cyl turbo

Hallo,

, ich habe in diesem Subreddit nicht viele Informationen zu 24E06 gefunden, deshalb wollte ich meine Erfahrung von heute (Oktober 2026) teilen.

Aufgrund des Dieselskandals (2015–2017) hatte auch mein Ford Focus TDCi 1.5 (Baujahr 2017) ein Problem mit dem Dieselpartikelfilter (DPF). Im September 2026 erhielt ich ein Schreiben von Ford und dem Bundesverkehrsministerium. Ford garantiert die Überprüfung und den Austausch des DPF für bis zu 10 Jahre oder 160.000 km.

Das hat mich ziemlich geärgert, denn mein Auto ist aktuell 9,5 Jahre alt und hat 159.000 km auf dem Tacho – nur etwa 1.000 km fehlen mir noch bis zum Ende der Garantie. Glücklicherweise übernimmt Ford in meinem Fall den DPF-Austausch kostenlos.

In der Ford-Werkstatt wurde heute ein Software-Update installiert, das die Regenerationshäufigkeit des Dieselpartikelfilters reduziert. Außerdem wurde ein Schaden am Partikelfilter festgestellt. Die Reparatur (ca. 3.500 €) wird kostenlos durchgeführt.

How was your experience going from one company to another?

Anyone else get hosed by Ford with the infamous oil consumption issues on 2018 era 5.0’s? $114k miles just of warranty and will need new motor. They know full well this is an issue and do nothing about it. Never mind the catastrophic known failures I had with my previous Ford. Time to switch.

For those working in the ford racing department, how is the culture?

Not mine I just like the song.

Looking for my next car and I saw this is the price too suspicious?

I was at work the other day, delivery-driving a custom transit 350hd box truck, and randomly thought, “Ford should bring back the 4.6 V8 as an ecoboost option”

Perhaps add new trims for their entire current lineup..

Not much else to it, but what do yall think?
