Help! What did I accidentally change or do wrong? Why do I no longer get the daily emails of "Yesterday's Topics"?

Not sure if anyone is still following this or will care that I'm following up on my own mishaps but I'll add here anyway.... First off, I brain-farted when I said "2018 with 51K miles" ... I was thinking about the fact that I'm 1K away from an oil change, so I'm actually at 54 not 51K. Math...

Thanks FordTechOne for the succinct and direct reply. As the most respected techie on this entire forum I am most grateful and honored to have received a reply from you!!! I'm going to search your recommendation immediately. Thanks Again!

I need to replace brakes at all 4 corners on my 2018 with 51K miles. I'm not looking for a performance upgrade. What are my best options for new rotors and pads to simply replace worn out originals? Does anyone have a recommendation for a particular brand or manufacturer, and what I should be...

Yep, that's why I left. Thanks for the input front vs. rear. But I still don't understand why at 50K the front rotors can be cut and the rears are trash thickness-wise. Apparently even if I had them addressed earlier they'd still be garbage? So rear rotors need to be REPLACED at 40K...

2018 52.5K miles. Was told at 50K service that brake pads were in "Yellow" range. At 52K I hit a sort of lane-dividing curb at moderate speed trying to exit Newark airport July 17. Coincidence, cause, imagination, or none of the above, I thought I started hearing the slightest "tap tap tap...

Gained my respect by using your Raptor to access work sites. Lost it by quoting Kamala Harris.

HaHa. "Ohm" my....Very creative response!!! I lacked the resistance to not applaud that one.

That was a mean snarky reply. But unfortunately it was truthful.

Excellent advice. I can see that I have to start doing more maintenance myself. Last truck (2006 Tacoma) there was prescribed maintenance at 5K miles, 10K miles, then a more complete maintenance at 15K miles right in the owners manual, to be stamped by the dealer upon completion of services...

jchap711 missed (or more likely ignored) your line about skipping the funny remarks, but ya gotta admit he nailed it! The birds don't give a **** about what they hit, they're not trained dive bombers. So I don't think fake owls or rubber snakes on or near any vehicle serve as a deterrent...

Who do you think you are? A freaking Ford Dealer? As a private seller you're going to try to suck in FRF Members to pay a $20K ADM to YOU???!!! No one's fault but yours that you over-extended your budget and/or "Dream Garage" and impatiently threw too many irons into the fire at once. Stop...

Ouch! Incompetence on display.

Except for the wheels, looks like you stole my truck!

From your observations you're short-selling yourself, you are at least somewhat "mechanically inclined".
