OBDLink MX + OBD Fusion
In the event anybody on the forum is looking for some closure on this topic, and prefers a much more expensive option to the $5 tire pressure gauge, it is possible. I have the OBDLink MX WiFi scanner connected to an iOS device. The OBD Fusion app with the 2014 Ford...
Appreciate the kind words...you are very welcome. Glad to see you have already put it back to use. Me and my neurosis completed the same install today.
Your insurance company will not be party to this (although, I understand the at-fault driver has the same insurance). It is a tort liability of the at-fault driver. Most motor vehicle accident attorneys are not very interested in diminished value claims, simply because most are not high enough...
I've done far too much research on this lately (but thankfully, my truck was deemed a total loss in the end). In most states, the diminished value claim goes against the at-fault party - whose insurance company would then field it on their behalf. The statute of limitations varies by state. I...
Having just picked up a new Ruby Red SE one to replace my wrecked one, I can tell you that there are very few of that color new at dealerships in the nation. I believe the dealer locator of 1,200 dealers showed 2, per my local sales manager. Autonation.com and Cars.com had a few more, if you...
As you can imagine, I can only swap and remove things that result in it being equivalent to stock... as that is the basis for the total loss fair market value and expected salvage value. I'm thinking that missing headlights may be a bit noticeable and not quite meet that requirement.
Quick update... USAA has treated me well, as most expected. Because of the high salvage value and significant diminished value if repaired, they have agreed to declare it a total loss. After much more consideration since the accident, I had decided that I would replace it with a new one...
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes. The verdict is in from the initial inspection...it is alive! Clearly, everything is subject to change once it is stripped down and lined up...but the going-in estimate is in the $16k range. Thanks to the winter season, I now play the waiting game until...
Wish I had taken a pic, but I forgot my phone at home (figures). The front was absolutely destroyed. It emptied all of its fluids as a last sign.

USAA for me. Geico for the driver at fault. I've only...
I was tearing up seeing it in the impound lot, and had very limited space to work with...but I tried to get a couple pics underneath. The support bracket for the running board made a 90 degree downturn.
It is being towed to the bodyshop this afternoon to wait for the insurance adjuster. I...
This may only be the second thread I have started, but after yesterday morning, I feel like my raptor earned the honor.
A Ford Ranger ran through a red light, probably doing 45-50mph at the time, and t-***** my baby. As sad as it is to see the damage, I am extremely thankful for three...
Reset Phone Settings
When iOS 8 came out, I had the same issue across my Fords. Even after the fix releases by Apple, I still had issues. What then seemed to be the generally recommended resolution was to reset the network settings on my phone (Settings --> General --> Reset --> Reset Network...
Did the same thing this weekend with one bolt the front skid plate. Was just finishing torquing the last bolt and I heard the snap. I like to consider it a problem for later right now...as it is on there good. I will undertake the battle to remove it whenever that time comes.
Got acquainted with how to change a tire on my relatively new raptor.
I was passing a semi and some debris flew out and sliced up my left rear tire. Thankfully, it didn't blow out, but took less than a minute to be completely flat. I'm not suicidal enough to change a tire myself on an...
