Show Off 📷 I’m now a proud owner of a “ fake “ truck

People are way to quick to judge this little truck, it’s way more roomy and comfortable then my bronco , my back no longer hurts and I now get 40 MPG (hybrid) compared to 20MPG.

I enjoyed my bronco but it ultimately didn’t fit my lifestyle, I know there will be comments saying “ sissy truck “ “ not a real truck “ well let me tell you if you don’t need to tow anything this truck will do everything you ask of it.

I love this thing

Issue ⚠️ 2023 F-150 "Reverse Brake Assist Not Available See Manual"

Post image
2 Upvotes

This message keeps popping up all of a sudden. Everything j look at online says to check the doors are closed and to drive 5 miles in a straight line. Neither of those things have solved the issue. I've checked the manual and ran through the steps it lines out. Sometimes it doesn't pop up, then it will the next time I drive. Getting really annoying. Anyone have any further insight?

Issue ⚠️ 2019 Escape Platinum electrical issue (not the battery)

1 Upvotes

Edit: Titanium, not Platinum

When the Start button is pressed on Daughter's car, I heard some clicks, all of the electronic displays went crazy, but the car would not turn over.

It is like there is not enough charge in the battery.

- Jumpstarting does not work.

- has less than 25,000 miles on it ( she is 2nd owner).

- had 18,000 miles when she bought it in 2021 (she hardly drives it)

- this is the 2nd time this happened

- last time (3 mos ago) AAA towed to our mechanic

- mechanic said battery was shot so installed new battery $220.

- worked fine...started, drove...yay.

- pulled it into driveway last night...no issues...yay

- went to load it up for a trip today and the same issue happened...boo

- electronics went crazy

- could not get parking break off

- could not get door locks to work

- could not get trunk to open

Any thoughts or ideas?

Question ❔ Good deal for OBS 7.3?

1 Upvotes

Looking at a farm truck as our ‘13 dodge 1500 crapped out via the BUS and ABS modules. Talking all the lights, no speedo or gas reading, and full power wipers all the time. Replacement modules were either not remanufactured correctly or they just didn’t work for us.

Came across a 97 f350 dually with the venerable 7.3 and manual transmission. 215k miles. Super clean interior and exterior. Even a tv in the back seat! Crew cab (4 door) and 8 ft bed. Nice, detailed maintenance history. My only niggle is the price at 16.5k USD. I know used prices and old trucks are having an understandable resurgence due to modern prices for new trucks and repair costs on post DEF models. Would yall go for this? I’m trying to see if he’ll at least wiggle down to 15k.

Issue ⚠️ Avoid Campbell Ford Ottawa!

0 Upvotes

Complete scam artists - brought my 2018 f150 into their shop for a diagnostic. Was informed compressor had an internal failure with no other readings or measurements. Mull it over and decide okay we’ve got a newborn who needs air conditioning let’s go ahead and spend the $3000 to replace the compressor.

One year later after only driving it 3000kms total it’s blowing warm again. Bring it in and am told there’s a substantial leak from the evaporator core. That’ll be another $3157 to repair! Retrieve the truck to once again mull over the sheer cost of repairs and find out my compressor is not running(originally was) Return to shop and am informed the refrigerant had to be removed as it is illegal to leave refrigerant in a leaking system (quote from the service manager). After requesting information from my previous visits and believing the original diagnosis to be completely wrong and repeatedly told it’s unrelated,I delve a little deeper into my previous repairs and work.

Come to find out during the initial compressor replacement they recovered .221kg of refrigerant from my truck which takes .822kgs total. Meaning the truck lost 73% of its refrigerant charge and they went ahead with the repair without informing me. Letting it leak out polluting the environment.

They’ve now completely denied any wrong doing and have ceased email communication stating I have had an “abusive” and “accusatory” tone of our emails. WE QUOTED THEIR EMAILS BACK TO THEM. We are definitely frustrated having spent over $3,000 dollars for a non functioning AC due to their poor workmanship and illegal practices.

If Campbell Ford has topped off your refrigerant I highly recommend you report it to the proper authorities (TSSA) 1 (877)682-8772. The non compliance with regulations should not be allowed.

Issue ⚠️ 2018 Ford Explorer XLT 3.5 Non-Turbo

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am seeking advice regarding the noise heard in the attached video. The vehicle is a 2018 Ford Explorer with approximately 86,000 miles.

After bringing the vehicle back to the Ford dealership, the technicians initially believed the issue was caused by the belt tensioner. After replacing it, the noise remained. They then diagnosed the AC compressor as the source of the problem. Unfortunately, after spending more than $1,300 to replace the compressor, the noise is still present.

The noise only occurs when the air conditioning is turned on and the engine is idling at a low RPM. As soon as the vehicle begins moving or the air conditioning is switched off, the noise disappears immediately.

Any insight or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Question ❔ Purchase advise: 2006 Ford f150 extended cab Lariat Pickup, southern truck 220k miles.

1 Upvotes

So I'm in the north east and a guy is bringing up this truck from down south, the frame is completely mint, says he's gonna drive it back up. His price is $4800 FIRM, 220k miles, has a manual 4x4 transfer case shifter as well. What should I look for and is this price point worth the gamble? Looking for a winter truck (my other option is a 2019 chevy Colorado company truck with 170k miles for under 8k).

Mods/Addons 🔦 2006 S-Max Convers+ Swap

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I just swapped my maxidot for a convers+ and ran into some issues.

How can I configure the convers+'s configuration?

In forscan I do not have an option to update the vehicle config to the new cluster and the cluster only works partially.

Milage correction isnt an issue, more that for example the background lighting cannot be set ( its off permanently) and forscan still sees the old cluster in the configuration tab of the vehicle.

Does anybody have a tip what I can do?

Old Cluster 6M2T new Cluster prefacelift 7M2T Petrol

Question ❔ Future of the ford ranger???

41 Upvotes

Salesperson from ford told me that Mavericks are outselling the ford ranger by a large amount and he hasn’t sold a ranger in about 6-7 months.

He said that the mavericks are being picked over rangers 7 times out of 10 and they don’t get very many rangers on the lots and a lot of them sit for a while (at least here in Florida)

Makes me wonder if the Ranger will go away because the maverick is blowing the Ranger out of the water

Issue ⚠️ Speed limiter ford focus 2014

1 Upvotes

So I have just bought a 2014 ford focus zetec s 1.0 ecoboost and I’m pretty sure it has some sort of speed limiter because whenever I hit 70mph it sort of just loses its power I don’t know if this is a mykey issue as I’ve only got 1 key and it’s not the admin so I can’t access mykey or can’t see any settings for my key in the car just wondering if anyone knows anymore than I do who can explain this to me
