Well that would be exhaust I suppose lol…

These engines have a bad habit of randomly breaking valve springs at higher mileage, so since you’re in there already it would be a good preventative repair.

Depends who’s doing the remanufacturing. If it’s through Ford it will have all new current service level parts. If it’s an aftermarket it’s a gamble, some only replace what is “broken” and reuse the rest.

Right! Engine replacement is preferable to a warped appliqué! :p

Yes, charcoal canister. Ensure the lines do not have raw fuel in them.

Japanese “reliability” is a farce. Honda can’t even keep head gaskets on their junk, never mind the 9 and 10 speed transmission failures and direct injection issues.

Looks like that should be the case. It f not, set the parking brake first and then run through the procedure.

If it was overfilled with fuel at some point the raw gas will enter the EVAP canister and cause repeat purge valve failure.I’d suspect that’s what you have going on, that will require replacement of the EVAP canister.

There are a lot of workmanship possibilities here. First, has the shop done this repair before? Meaning they’re competent and have all the necessary special tools? The torque spec on the crank bolt is critical; if it was improperly torqued, the crank gear will crack and it will have noise in the...

No. They are only intended to be serviced during an engine repair, such as turbocharger replacement. They do not filter oil like a conventional oil filter, it’s just an inline mesh screen. If they are contaminated with debris or metal, that’s the result of neglect (poor maintenance) or a larger...

Coincidentally, Ford just released a bulletin this past week with addition PDI checks and labor time for 2024 F-150/Raptor and Ranger/Raptor. The bulletin specifically calls out checking the tailgate appliqué for warpage among other check’s. So apparently they’re well aware of the appliqué issue...

Scan tool to check TFT.

Never heard of a Corolla being called a “sporty little thing”; they make a late 80’s J-Body feel like a sports car in comparison. Highlander is a Camry with a taller body…hardly an “SUV”…

My wife got a new job much further away with a small parking lot. Found a 2018 Edge Sport at a local dealer as a 1 owner trade with full history. I forgot how nice these things are. Handles like it’s on rails, double the highway fuel economy of the Raptor, and all the technology aside from a...

That sounds like a boost leak. Check all of your charge air piping.

What makes you think the converter has failed? That’s not a common issue. In regards to your question, the converters are all the same except for the diesel application.

Front caliper pin bolts: 27 lb-ft Front anchor plate (bracket) bolts: 184 lb-ft Rear caliper pin bolts: 26 lb-ft Rear anchor plate (bracket) bolts: 181 lb-ft (M16 bolts) or 258 lb-ft (M18 bolts) Note that the truck needs to be put into brake service mode before any disassembly or repairs are...

That’s because you’re comparing a mainstream brand with a luxury brand. If you bought a Lincoln the experience should (and does in my experience) mirror that of the European luxury brands.

If it has the issue it would have been there from day 1; I’m assuming you bought it used? They are correct that most Ford extended warranties don’t cover shocks, they’re considered a wear and tear part.

Some oil in the intake tract is normal from the PCV system. MAP sensors are not that sensitive to oil contamination; most vehicles with an actual oil leak/bypass issue will have fouled plugs and leaking CAC tubing well before a MAP issue. I would recommend downloading ForScan, getting a...

Does it state “Pro Power Onboard Not Available”? If f so Ford released a service message to dealers advising that this is being caused by the module software and an update is targeted to be available 3rd Quarter via OTA update or dealer scan tool.

Can’t remember doing one but the Workshop Manual does not state that the engine needs to be jacked up. It states to remove the stud bolt first, then the two other bolts.

Did you verify that the software was actually updated? There is a specific service message for wireless CarPlay issues that requires a Master Reset to correct issues. If your phone was still in the system when you got it back then they didn’t do it. If you have ProPower Onboard (2.0kw) there is...

Exactly. The biggest issues we see are 1. The cable being used is worn or a cheap aftermarket 2. The phone had an issue or app that is causing CarPlay not to function properly. The dealer cannot resolve issues caused by 3rd party devices. What they need to do is pair a “known good” device to...
