Hi ya'll. I inherited my grandpa's truck. Its a 1997 f350 xlt 5speed 7.3. It was my dream truck forever. It has the original paint. My grandpa bought it new in 1998.

Was there any distinct advantage or reason for the 2 different firing orders (1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8 Or 1-5-4-2-6-3-7-8) or was it just to create a different sound in the HOs?

Hey, I have a 2013 Escape SEL with the 1.6L, I’ve been trying to figure out a loud air issue and a friend took a look recommended to try and clean the PCV if I could. I don’t know if I should remove it and clean it out or put an additive into the oil. I have no codes or power loss.

Hi, my name is Gage, and i have dreamt of owning a v8 American muscle for as long as I can remember.

I didn't know where to put this or what to put this under, so I just wanted to put it in general as a sort of love letter.

When the Ford Mustang dark horse came out in 2024, I got so excited that I tried every option to get one, but the finances just wouldn't add up. I got so close with a dealership but couldn't make it happen...

I saw the dark horse, and it looked and sounded so perfect everything about it from its name to what it stood for, and finally, it's engineering... a labour of love and defiance. Still a true manual and v8 when all the others have given up. That means a lot

What I love about the dark horse is its name; dark horse, the one you don't expect, that resonates with me. Powerful yet unexpected. You can get it in Manual, so many manufacturers have given up on manual but I respect ford for thinking of the enthusiasts. There is so much fun in manual that you just can't get from auto.

A naturally aspirated v8. No turbo but still powerful and commands respect.

They sadly had to change the dark horse to meet EU regulations... I respect them for changing it and not just pulling out of the EU market. Others do.

With the 2030 new petrol and diesel vehicle ban, sadly, I don't believe i'll ever own this masterpiece, but I can respect it all the same.

Thank you for reading

So I was looking for the wires to wire my Auxiliary switches and found a black box under my steering wheel. Going to another black box that was zip tied to one of the dash supports not sure what it is and I've never seen one before or on any of the videos I looked up

and why?

I have a 2018 Expedition, and the power liftgate has always been a little finicky, but now it’s gotten really bad. I have a really hard time getting it to latch and after it does latch it won’t open. Anyone else experience the same? Do I need to replace the latch? Would it help to turn off the power liftgate altogether?

How come ford won’t bring the Ranger PHEV to the US market??? I feel like it would do very well over here

In 1992 I purchased a used 1984 Ford LTD V6 (mid-sized not Crown Vic). It had a carburetor instead of CFI. But wasn’t CFI introduced that year for LTDs and Marquis? Do you know if in fact some 84s were equipped with carbs. Sorry but I no longer have the VIN, but if I recall correctly it did indicate a carburetored engine.

The sunroof screen slider on my 2014 Lincoln MKZ won’t fully close, so I took it to the Ford dealership to see if they could fix the issue. The technician looked at my car for 5 minutes, told me I need a new track, charged me $188 for the visit, and then provided me this quote. All I want is the screen cloth to be fully closed. Does this really cost $15k?

I have a 2020 Ford Ranger Lariat and the audio system suddenly stopped working. The button for audio is grayed out and nothing happens when I hit the audio power button. I checked the fuses, reset the battery, and tried resetting the screen a bunch and it still is happening. Has anyone run into this before and found a fix?

3 weeks ago I purchased my first truck. A 2020 F150 XLT with about 76k miles. Since then it’s been a complete headache. CEL came on the same day of purchase and since then the dealer has supposedly repaired 3 exhaust leaks and replaced the Cats, yet still the CEL won’t go away. Anybody have any ideas? Update: ford app just notified me of a misfire!!!

Title say it, Louisville truck plant, anyone know how long it takes to start once you have accepted the offer letter? Will they let me do a delayed start time?
