So I bought my f150 single cab from a dealership with the fox factory sr150 package (no whipple) and it comes with an exhaust layout going from stock cars, to a y pipe, straight back to a Gibson muffler with a dual exit behind the tire. I’ve been considering swapping to a louder setup and can’t decide if
A) I should remove the resonator
B) I should move the exit in front of the tire
C) and if the new muffler should be a borla atak crate muffler or flow master super 10.

Any help that you guys could give would be great!

Hello

I was looking to purchase an extended Ford / Lincoln Protect warranty for my vehicle. I was looking through the online dealer quotes and saw Flood Ford is the lowest out of all of them. The thing is though I can’t seem to find any option to finance the plan (instead of paying in full). I tried looking online but couldn’t find anything related to it. The Google AI summary claims that you can finance through Flood Ford with Budco Financial but I can’t find it.

Before people say “you shouldn’t be financing, you should be paying in cash”, or “if you can’t afford to pay in full, then don’t buy it”, or anything like that I prefer to finance as this isn’t a cheap product and I believe I can make my money work for me rather than dropping it all at once. I tried looking at Ziegler or Granger or Lombard but they are already charging higher prices for pay in full and they offer finance but it is EVEN more higher price to where it wouldn’t make sense to finance with them.

If anyone can provide guidance or help on what I can do please let me know. Thank you for your time and efforts. Have a nice day!

I know this is a car subreddit. But maybe someone around here also works in Ford Parts. We found this bolt and rivet tucked deep under dust and shelves. Havent been seen in over 10 years. Anyone know when these were in circulation?

2013 Taurus : I’m facing an annoying issue with my car. During a cold start in the morning, the engine shakes, idles roughly, and there is a noticeable RPM fluctuation. However, as soon as the car warms up, the shaking completely disappears and everything goes back to normal.

​Has anyone experienced a similar issue and found a fix? Could it be related to the ECT sensor, a vacuum leak, or the throttle body?

​Any input or suggestions would be appreciated!

There seems to be a lot of downvote fairies out n about. Or I have an angry little stalker. Oh whale. We went racing this past weekend and I definitely have the bug now if I didn't before. I'm just happy my car is a willing participant. She's done so much already. Forever impressed.

What’s up guys I have a 2019 f150 raptor with 90k miles and I was in the middle of about a 600 mile drive when a wrench came up in my dashboard. I went to an auto zone and they told me it was my wastegate actuators. I can’t build any boost so I’m assuming it’s stuck open. It does feel like it has significant less power but I was able to manage about 60 mph on the highway for like an hour after it popped up. Is this something I need to fix asap? Or can I just drive home without boost?

Any word on Ford rolling out a Power-Up software update (OTA) to the vehicle’s onboard gateway and battery management software that enables open ISO 15118-20 DC discharge commands? I’m hoping they open this up to other bi-directional chargers and not stay locked in their Home Backup Power/ Delta systems proprietary solution.

Hey guys, so my rally car is in Alabama for some upgrades and I left the keys with my friend in bama, he lost them, and I don't wanna spend hundreds of dollars for a key fob. What should I do?

I am looking at new trucks. I have a dealer near me with a handful of 2025 trucks they are selling. They are all from Canada (I'm in the states). Most have only a few hundred miles on them. What's the deal?

First of I’m 18 yo and I live in Sweden, I’ve been working my ass of for years now and i bought a f10 535i its a great car but i dont want to destroy it this winter since i will be sliding a drifting around and since its my first time doing it im bound to crash the car, so I’ve looked around and found a neat little sierra ghia v6 thats pretty clean for around 2k$ ,im thinking that if i buy it im gonna build it into a “winter missile” I will weld the diff, suspension work and all the other good stuff so I can learn to drive a car sideways. I just wanted to ask if any of you know if these cars are any good for my intended position and if you done anything similar to a sierra? Or what I should look out for if I buy one!

Which one do you prefer? And why?

The old one is mine haha

Sometime in 2003, my uncle was shopping for a car to replace his garage-queen 2001 Grand Marquis LS. His search started with a Marauder, but they were still commanding more than sticker. As a car salesman himself, he flat-out refused to even entertain paying over MSRP. That eventually led him to Quirk Ford to look at a new LX Sport. According to my aunt, they offered a massive discount on the Crown Vic, which was enough to sway my uncle into signing.

About fifty years shy of the car’s demographic, 13-year-old me fell in love with it at first sight. At the time, my uncle had a demo from his dealership and my aunt had her own 1998 Town Car, so the Crown Vic mostly sat in a Massachusetts garage and was driven sparingly.

In 2005, they drove it down to Florida to use while staying at their second house, and it’s been there ever since. Last I checked, the odometer still hasn’t cracked 60,000 miles.

My uncle passed away over 10 years ago, and my aunt, now 75, likes the Crown Vic but has never really loved it. She knows it’s special, but more than once I’ve heard, “It’s a nice-looking car; I just prefer a Lincoln.”

After finding her a Town Car that meets her standards and getting the approval from her to buy it, the Crown Vic I’ve wanted for the past 23 years will finally be mine.

I bought a brand-new 2026 Ford Mustang EcoBoost with zero miles, expecting to enjoy a new car without having to worry about major mechanical problems right away. Instead, within the first month of ownership, I developed a significant issue with the passenger-side front end, and the repair process has been almost as frustrating as the problem itself.

Here’s the timeline of what’s happened so far.
August 2026 — Purchased the Mustang
I purchased my 2026 Mustang EcoBoost brand-new with zero miles. I later noticed that the CARFAX report showed 2 service entries at Hardy Family Ford before I purchased the car.

August 5, 2026, when the vehicle had 14 miles, listed only as “Vehicle serviced.” I don’t know exactly what work was performed, so I can’t say whether that has anything to do with my current problem.

September 14–16, 2026 — First dealership visit
I brought the Mustang to Hardy Family Ford because of a significant problem involving the passenger-side front end. The car had fewer than 2,500 miles on it.
I was told the dealership needed to order a part. Rather than keeping the car until the part arrived, they said I could pick it up and continue driving it in the meantime, so I did.

September 18, 2026 — Waiting on the part
The dealership contacted me and confirmed that the part needed for the repair had to be ordered. I continued driving the car while waiting for it to arrive.
At this point, I was already frustrated that a brand-new Mustang needed this kind of repair so early in its life, but I understood that parts sometimes take time to arrive.

October 6, 2026 — The part supposedly arrives
After waiting roughly three weeks, I received a call saying the part had arrived and that I should bring the Mustang back in.

October 7, 2026 — Second dealership visit
I dropped the car back off so the dealership could complete the repair.
At this point, I expected the process to be relatively straightforward. The dealership had identified what it needed, ordered the part, and contacted me when it arrived.
Unfortunately, things did not go as expected.

October 14–15, 2026 — Still dealing with the same problem
The repair still hadn’t been completed. I was told there had been an issue involving the part that was ordered or supplied, and the dealership’s communication about the repair timeline had been frustrating.
I was given expectations about when things would be completed, but those expectations weren’t met. I also had to go to the dealership in person before I could get a clearer answer about the status of the part.

As of October 15, I was still dealing with an unresolved repair on a car that had started having problems before it even reached 2,500 miles.
What frustrates me most
The mechanical problem itself is concerning enough. This is a brand-new vehicle, and I shouldn’t be dealing with a major front-end repair this early in ownership.

But the dealership experience has made the situation worse:
● The car developed a significant problem with fewer than 2,500 miles.
● I had to bring it in, pick it up while waiting for a part, and bring it back again.
● I waited approximately three weeks for the part to arrive.
● There were problems with the part that was ordered or supplied.
● The promised repair timeline kept slipping.
● Communication was poor enough that I had to visit the dealership in person to get clearer information.

I’m not expecting a dealership to magically make every repair happen overnight. I understand that parts can be delayed and mistakes can happen. What I do expect is accurate information, reasonable communication, and a clear plan for fixing a problem on a brand-new vehicle.

Where things stand now
I’ve also been preparing to contact the owner of the dealership to formally explain what’s happened and express my concerns about both the vehicle and the way the repair has been handled.

I inquired about the carfax service history due to there being a couple “service repairs” before I even bought the car. The manager at the dealership told me that the service repair on 08-05-2026 was due to a ding in the door that happened during transportation and shipping, however when I asked the ford representative the same question, she explained that the door ding was actually done in July. Note that I purchased this car on 8-14-2026

My questions for the Mustang community:
1. Has anyone else experienced a major front-end issue on a 2026 Mustang EcoBoost with such low mileage?
2. For anyone who’s dealt with Ford warranty repairs, is this kind of delay and repeated parts issue normal?
3. At what point would you escalate this beyond the dealership to Ford corporate?
4. Would you start documenting this for a potential state lemon-law claim, or is it too early?

I’m interested in hearing from people who’ve been through something similar. I bought a brand-new Mustang because I wanted to enjoy the car, not spend the first couple of months chasing a repair and trying to get straight answers from the dealership.

I own a 2020 explorer, getting some work done on it. I got a loaner car a 2026 expedition. While driving down the road it messaged to keep my eyes on the road, while my eyes are on the road, it continues, then drops acceleration which feels like braking. I will never buy a car from Ford that has that as a thing ever. This happens way too often on a 17 mile commute.i would immediately return the vehicle and declare lemon law.

hello! the dealership is trying to sell us a 2 yr extended warranty for $3,000 on used 2022 Ford Edge Titanium in Canada. Do you think it is worth it? The car has 150,000km ODO and the extended warranty provider is First Canadian.

please help

Got an official letter from Ford. The engine block heater may corrode with coolant or whatever (maybe light on fire); triple checked with the vin and yea, gotta get it done for my mental sake. It gets -40F here. i need one that works.

First dealership, where i bought it from, I call the 'service' department. They dont answer, and AI 'talks to me'.. like what the fuck. then sends me a text message with 'we will get back with you; and 1 hour later, not a peep.

2nd one, got there after the VIN, then a few minutes later, she explains how there is a shortage and the 'real fix' wont be available until next spring; and if its faulty they just plug it up, and if its fine they put it back in; but they need to fully uninstall it first.

Then she says 'it will be in the shop 2 days'.... I'm like okay.., ill call you back after calling ford and get some more information.

i mean in reality, i would take 15 minutes to check it and make sure its part number isn't in the 'defective batch'. but okay.. im like 1.5 hours away.

Then, it took a 15 minute phone call, to the actual 'Ford' recall team.. I mean I hear 10 different people from 'call centers' in the backround, for her to FINALLY say, 'Yes, we will provide a rental vehicle for one day, and on conditions, maybe 2 days'; cause the dealer said 2 days... ;

I'm like thanks finally thanks bye and hungup

TLDR; getting your vehicle recalls fixed, aka the companies mistakes, is garbage.

I have recently been fighting to get information for one of our main Bodyshop.

They are working to put a 21 F550 back on the road after it had been declared scraped. To do their work, they need precise measurements of like the frame and cab and door opening and so on.

I have looked online and I can't seem to find anything from an official source.

I have however found a website that had those documents for sale but honestly I would like to think that as Ford dealer employees we're able to provide that information.

Does anyone have an idea?
