Had a recall done last year for a potential axle bolt fracture, and they also did the parking brake reprogram thing. Now there is a new recall 23S55 for a potential rear axle bolt fracture. Is this the same one as last year, or a different bolt? Thanks.

Here's a couple of pictures. One shows the fastener, and the other shows the bare stud. They just push on to the stud. They fasten the panels underneath the truck

Got a powered sub for Christmas, and could use some help. Thanks.

Do I need to be a mind reader, genius, or rocket scientist? :-/ How the heck do the rear wiper blades come off? Thanks

I must be getting old. The air filter is suddenly a pita. There is a bunch of stuff connected to the cover. How much of it do I have to disconnect to get it off?

On occasion, maybe once or twice a day, I get an odd smell from the a/c. Strangely, it's not that unpleasant, but definitely noticable. Maybe slightly sweet....anybody else have this?

I need to know the location of the a/c condensate drain location. I have the truck running now so I can follow the drip, but it could be blocked. Thanks edit: ok, so it's pouring water, so that's good. Still can't see exactly where it's coming from 🤔 Not like the old days when you could easily...

For anyone interested, just had the transmission cooler, and rear camera replaced.

Just got the FSA 20B34, Transmission Oil Cooler recall. Anyone know what's this is about?

Saw that message on my Fordpass app this am. It also said Start your vehicle with your key fob and your remote features will be restored. What does it mean when it says start your vehicle with your key fob? Does that mean remote start with the key fob, a normal start, or actually use the key...

.....during normal driving? I know I can see the gears using the paddles, or using manual shifting. Is there a way to see the gear during normal driving? Thanks, Ed

Sticker in door says 33 all around. Dealer says 37 all around. Why do they say that? Assuming 33 is correct.

Is there a way to decode the vin and get an approx build date? Or how can I find this out? Thanks, Ed

I really like my new 2020 XLT, but not thrilled with the dash material. Looks cheaper than the gen 5 dash. Can anybody recommend a good dash cover? All the ones I see online or on ebay that say they fit, don't even show a correct photo of the XLT dash. Thanks, Ed

My friend just bought this new stuff for his truck. He said it's the best he's ever used. He said it's ceramic, but apparently it's not. He got the Klasse kit. I did a little research, and it's supposed to be good stuff. Is it good enough, or are there real benefits to "ceramic?" Anybody...

I noticed some of the earlier vin# 2020 XLTs had a nice split bench second row, with a fold down console in the middle. Now all we see in the later ones are the second row buckets with no console. Anyone know what the thinking was? Are buckets better?

I can't find anything about it in the owners manual. Thanks, Ed

Traded in my old Gen IV rust bucket. Ford incentives, plus dealer incentives totalling 8K, plus my truck, knocked 10.5K off the sticker. Jazzed! Dang, web page is gone already. It's a base model X here in Georgia, with a sticker of $32,800. Literally identical to this one. Same color...

Have owned a Gen II, III, and currently a IV. Am thinking of making the leap to a Gen V. Any suggestions? What should I look out for? My priorities are dependability and price. There are a bunch of them within 50 miles of here at dealer's. They seem to be in the +/- 5 yrs old, and around 75K...

After moving south to Georgia, was thinking about trading in my old rust bucket 2006 Explorer with 150K miles, for a nice 2010 southern Escape. Just asking what to look out for on 2010 Escapes. Thanks, Ed Here's a link to the one I'm interested in. Looks to be a couple of grand over priced at...

After moving south to Georgia, was thinking about trading in my old rust bucket 2006 Explorer for a nice 2010 southern Escape. Just asking what to look out for on 2010 Escapes, but not sure if it's the correct forum. Thanks, Ed

Trying to milk my small radiator leak as long as possible, before entertaining replacing the radiator. Ed

A few days ago began smelling something burning/hot from what I thought was coming from the front left of the truck, and thought it was the brakes, so I did a little brake work, and hoped the problem was fixed, but it wasn't. Today when I got home, smelled the same small, and lifted the hood...

Not to make a double thread, but am assuming this is a similar problem to the other recent thread. The resistor is probably bad?? Where is the best place to buy one? Thanks, Ed

This has probably been asked before, so apologies in advance. Have been noticing that my driver's door doesn't close smoothly and has to jump up a bit to latch. Is there an adjustment I can make to fix this? Thanks, Ed edit: The hinge pins are available for about $4. Looks like they just...
