    Ford IDS - Can the dealer change factory tire size?

    I was playing with Forscan on a new to me 2019 Ford Interceptor Sedan. There was options to change tire sizes, but only for a few select tire sizes. The Taurus came with 245/55R18, there was options for sizes such as 235/55R18 and 245/45R20. It seemed limited to tire sizes that would come on...

    OBDII on Ford Pickups

    My 1994 Bronco had OBD1, a friends F150 had OBD2 in 1995. I would imagine at least the F150/Bronco for the 1995 Model Year was OBD2.

    2019 Nissan Kicks Rough Idling

    I highly doubt your throttle body would need to be cleaned after only 57K miles. Don't mess with it too much. Spark plugs are due on your car at 105K miles. I doubt fuel injectors are dirty/worn. Start small and easy. I'd replace the MAF sensor. Sometimes cleaning them doesn't help. I'd...

    Mercon V vs. Mercon LV

    The beginning of the 2009 model year Crown Vics had some small changes (solenoids and internal wire harness) done in the transmission and Ford required LV. I'm assuming its the same on the Grand Marquis as well. Probably wouldn't hurt? BUT better safe than sorry.

    Police dodge Durango's

    My agency bought a few 2022 Ram 1500s. One had a catastrophic rack & pinion failure at 10K miles. We also have a few 2019 Chevy Tahoes. 2 of them had catastrophic transmissions failures at 80K miles and the later one at 110K miles. I was told I could request any new patrol car in the next...

    Are these Motorcraft Spark Plugs Counterfeit? SP413

    Even if you look at pictures (of the packaging) regular SP413s are labeled "NICKEL" and ones with the "X" designation are labeled "COPPER".

    Are these Motorcraft Spark Plugs Counterfeit? SP413

    SP-413-X SP-413 The only thing I see between the two is one is a "nickel" and the other is a "copper" plug material.

    Are these Motorcraft Spark Plugs Counterfeit? SP413

    Did a little more research. Apparently the "X" designates its a copper plug. The regular SP413 are nickel. The plugs I pulled out are finewire from Motorcraft (SP405) with writing on the base of the metal. Probably just gonna end up trashing these ones and spring for the SP405s.

    Are these Motorcraft Spark Plugs Counterfeit? SP413

    I bought these SP413X for my Crown Victoria. Looking at them i've never seen "Sell Pack"s from MC. Other weird thing is I have found these plugs to be nickel online but the packaging says copper. Any ideas if they are counterfeit or legit? Purchased from RockAuto

    Which pistols etc should I select to shoot at the range?

    Glock 17 and 19 are very similar. A 17 is a full size and 19 are smaller sized. Most Law Enforcement Officers carry 17s. People conceal carrying usually carry 19.

    HF Haul-Master Trailers

    I used mine to tow a riding lawn mower to the junk yard. Works just fine. I read a common failure place on these were the bearings. Make sure you pack them well.

    Volkswagen Taos Dealer Invoice

    I don't think that's part of the "safe and secure" portion of carnet. It comes with the app free since it's a 2022 but the safe and secure package is more of if it gets stolen, it can be tracked package. The car doesn't have remote start as far as I know since it's a base model.

    Volkswagen Taos Dealer Invoice

    But can you cancel the VW CarNet? That seems steep for a gimmicky feature.
