    2017 Fusion Sport

    I'm looking at a black 2017 with low miles this afternoon. Does anyone have experience with these? I did a little reading on fusionsportforums.com and found the oil pans can be leaky and there is a recall on brake lines which can rupture/or cause a soft pedal. Other than than that the 2.7 L...

    Ford's Chicago Auto Show(ing)

    Half of their spot was showing off the Bronco and the other was consumed with the Mach-E and Lightning. I had to search for the traditional Mustang and only found a GT coupe and GT convertible. No GT 500, no Mach 1.... Is all electric the future? If so, how soon? Is this what the people want...

    Plastic, plastic, plastic

    Just finished watching the below comparison between a BMW M2 and a GT350. One of his big gripes with the Mustang are the "hard plastic" interior parts. I used to take this in stride because I hadn't personally experienced the interior of BMW's. I have since sat in several BMW models at auto...

    2012 F-150 Electronic Locking Rear Diff

    Traded for a 2012 F-150 with the offroad package a couple months ago. When I pull the switch to lock the rear diff(below 20 MPH) I get the message "Check locking differential". I'm guessing I need to take it in for warranty work. What does this message mean? Is the locker screwed?

    Disgruntled after ford service visit

    Short of the long, do Ford service departments charge by the job or by the actual time they worked on the job? I took my 03 Ranger in to have the rear brake line replaced. It was leaking brake fluid all over the rear diff. I decided to take it to Ford service because I generally trust them...

    Clunky Rear Diff??

    I just read through Top Gear magazine's Mustang vs the States. They were generally positive about the GT they drove, but they referred to the noisy, clunky rear differential on a few occasions. A question for the 2015 owners, what the hell are they talking about?

    Need Brake Advice

    I took my '03 Lightning into the local Ford dealer to have the gas tank strap recall done, as well as an oil change. One of the techs noticed that my brake pads were worn down quite a bit and wanted to know if I wanted them to take a closer look. I said sure. They said that all 4 rotors are...

    AC not working

    My 2003 Lightning has about 70k miles on it. I bought it last fall and the ac worked fine. When I tested it out last week I don't get any cold air. It doesn't even "feel" like the compressor is running. Is there anything easy I can check before I take it to the shop?:shrug:

    Pre-cut window tint

    Has anyone ordered these online? tintkits.com has a complete kit for the L for $59.99. However, I'm not really sure what kind of tint to get. They have many options. What are some good brands? I'm thinking it would be pretty easy to install on a truck because you don't have to deal with that...

    Bad Ball Joints?

    I took my 2003 L in this morning to get new tires put on and an alignment done. I get a call from the shop within the hour saying the the ball joints are shot and that is why the front tires were chopped towards the inside. Is this normal? The truck only has 65k on it.

    Squeak Coming From Rear Right

    Sorry if this has been discussed here. I did some searching and didn't find a solution related to what I'm hearing. I just bought a 2003 Black L on Saturday. This thing is mean! But, there is this squeaking coming from I think the rear right of the truck. I only hear it with the windows down...
