    GEN 1 Tow haul switch fell off

    The damn switch is nowhere to be found. Has anyone been here before. What is my best bet here? Tasca seems to have the gear lever for sale under $100. But I am afraid taking out the console to replace might turn out to be a PITA...

    GEN 1 Engine oil change *TIME* interval

    With the quarantine scene, I ended up driving the truck very little. Its been 8 months since I put in Mobile 1 synthetic with Mobil 1 filter. I have driven around 4500 miles, I drive mostly in the city however. So while my mileage is below 5k which I am targetting, the time since last oil...

    Dirty deeds exhaust spec

    How would you compare the tone of corsa vs dd? Curious to know of the differences other than peak volumes and drone levels.

    Dirty deeds exhaust spec

    Going with dirty deeds for an exhaust on an otherwise stock raptor. Just ordered 20x6” muffler size. Keith’s (from dd) recommendation was 24x6”; the popular being 20x5”. I ended up deciding on 20x6”. I am looking for some nice growl when torque riding the raptor. I barely rev it all the way...

    Mechanic in Seattle area

    Thanks Jonny. Its not that I don't want to pay for repairs and what not. I would have happily given 400$ for a spark plug change. (Maybe I need to re-adjust my expectations) Just hate it when its just too much of a rip off. :-) For another example, my mirror glass fell off (the plastic...

    GEN 1 Mirror glass hacks (for broken brackets)

    My local shop says I need to replace the whole mirror which is bs. Thanks for the responses. I have replaced mine with a 30$ glass from Amazon for now. But will try the glue options. Want the tow mirror and auto dimming features.

    GEN 1 Mirror glass hacks (for broken brackets)

    The mirror glass fell off after taking a hard bump.. Looks like the 2 of the 4 bracket pairs that hold the mirror to the motor is broken. Its a shame, because the mirror and everything else is in perfect shape (except for a scratch on the door from the mirror dangling). Driver side mirror is...

    Mechanic in Seattle area

    Do you folks have recommendations for a good mechanic in Seattle area? I got a EVAP small leak code and I took my 2014 to the dealer (out of warranty miles, extended warranty does not cover this sensor) and it turns out to be the CPV. To my surprise, they want 250$ for the diagnostic (they say...
