Help – Kicker Hideaway / Dashboard

Looking for some input on this one. Last couple of days I installed a Kicker Hideaway. Config is that for ground we tapped in the back, remote we used the wire in the groumet by the spare tire, power went to the battery and speakers I tapped the rear speaker wires.

Now I have a weird issue…. Twice after I left the car sit for a period of time, when I was backing out of the garage I got a brightness alert on the dashboard. Last night I just discarded it thinking when we did the install I…

Keeping your turbo healthy…

Came across this today. Very Interesting, and not just for Ford vehicles.

No. 7 – I would think many people have highway drives followed by at least a few minutes of much slower in-town driving before arriving at their destination. That slowdown in higher stress on the engine should help unless you are still pressing for harder acceleration. But leaving it running for an extra couple of minutes is something I’ve never heard before.

No. 6 – I never drive…

Portable vs. Fixed Air Compressors: Which Side Are You On?

Hey everyone,

We’ve all been there – needing to air up tires, inflate camping gear, or even power air tools. When it comes to air pumps, there are two main camps: the portable crew and the fixed (on-board) enthusiasts. Both have their loyal followers, and for good reason! But which one truly reigns supreme in terms of convenience, performance, and overall utility?

Let’s break down some of the common arguments for each, and then we want to hear from you…

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. She goes somewhat off-roading and is worried maybe something snagged a line or something.

Where do I look besides dealership to get exterior parts installed?

The dealership wants $500 to install the 4 exterior door guards and the hood/bug protector. That is ridiculous. I don’t trust myself to do it correctly. What kind of business should I search for to get a more reasonable quote? I have tried various other terms to search, but I have not found anything. I am in Northern California. Thanks!

’26 BS Heritage Cargo Mat- which one?

Hi all, bought my BS last week, and I have gone around in circles with the Ford Parts people directly, and the dealership parts guy. My BS came with just the spare tire KIT, no spare tire of any size. For the Cargo mats that supposedly fit, they both say in their descriptions that it fits for the compact spare tire MP1Z-7811600-AA, or the full-size spare tire MP1Z-7811600-BA. Even with my VIN, I am being given different answers as to whether they will fit. Can anyone here confirm which one…

Saving gas and battery life… how-to recommendations

Anyone else familiar with these topics regarding how to improve fuel economy and improve your battery’s service life? I came across these on Youtube and I found them quite interesting. Has anyone ever tried these and did they actually make a difference for you?

Luggage rack cross bars.

Anyone bought aftermarket luggage cross bars that fit nicely? I have the stock side roof rails and I am looking for a good pair so I can add a roof basket. The stock ones from Ford are $300 plus, that’s why I am looking at the aftermarket. Thanks.
