I’m resurrecting this thread as I am experiencing similar issues on my Gen1 with 86K miles. This was the closest match on my search and I’m surprised the OP got no answer. Additionally, my fluid is in good condition and doesn’t smell burnt, no noise coming from the p/s pump and no leaks. I know...

Cool pix but the landscape looks more Mars than Moon. Idaho came to mind when I think of moon on earth but I doubt even Raptors would wanna mess with this terrain.

I’ve been using VRT on my Gen1 hood decal for 7 years. It seems to have kept it in good shape and water beads right off. Just my experience.

I’m a lazy SOB too. Got the fuse 27 kit years ago but still haven’t installed it. I put in a new Odyssey battery last month and still kicked the can down the road. God bless the poster who says it’s an easy fix. I’ve seen the video. To do it right is a tedious process with the clipping of...

Wasn’t 2013 the introduction of the Torsen differential also? The only difference i was able to identify between my 13 and the 14’s was the addition of a console vanity light in the latter.

Dag, I just read Ben’s repair post and I pray to God my seat heaters don’t ever fail.

I too have had difficulty getting Mavis to rotate my tires per the manual. The manager even told me it was a “old fashioned way to rotate tires on a modern vehicle”. It is a bit of an unorthodox way to rotate so I showed him the manual and they charged $10 extra. Get this, they would have done...

I got a new Odyssey battery for my truck and wanted to do things right. So I download Forscan and get the USB adapter, download and install the drivers before firing up the program to make sure it works. It does. Big day comes and I install the battery with no problems but when I fire up Forscan...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I heard enough of you reporting high mileage failures so the “preventive maintenance” part of me is over ruling the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” part of me. I just wish we knew why some of these fail so soon and others last a long time before failure. I’m...

Before you all start responding, “just do it!”, please hear me out. I’ve had my truck for over 6 years now. I have known about the much reported fuse 27 issue for quite a while and even got the Ford kit but always managed to kick this can down the road. I closely monitor the status of this fuse...

I can also confirm this to be an excellent choice.

I put R1 Concepts rotors and pads on mine back in July of 2018. They were awesome as soon as I put them on and continue to be awesome. I went with solid rotors. Also, the coating they put on them really inhibits corrosion.

I’m hearing from some of you out there who have not had the transmission recall service performed that slow speed hard shifts are present with you as well. This makes me feel better about having the service done if it’s a universal symptom. I’m not sure that it even indicates anything is wrong...

Funny you should mention this. My 2013 was recently serviced for the “possible transmission downshift” recall and now I seem to notice this low speed hard shift from 1st to 2nd more than I ever have. I almost disregarded the recall initially because the thing operated beautifully and I’m a firm...

Thanks for all the input. I think I've decided on a Odyssey battery since the Autozone down the street sells them in case something awful happens and I need to return it. I may also disregard using the 9-volt power supply and just take the chance on having to reprogram some stuff. I just don't...
