Forgot to post about my rear camera recall done at my home. Despite my reporting camera outages, the tech noted crimping of the wires but since the camera was working now, juts attached a flexible rod to the cable to minimize any future flexing and call them if the camera goes out again and be...

See: 18th amendment.

FWIW I installed with car on jack stands. Was very easy EXCEPT one horizontal bolt on the top rear of the trans. the trans was too close to the tunnel wall to reinsert the bolt. Apparently, it can be an issue with manufacturing tolerances. Pulling the trans down could drop it to where the tunnel...

For when I feel like being quick on the street or will be parking in the summer sun or to remind myself how good a 5.0 sounds.

Just wanted to mention how proud I am for NOT starting a rumor that Tesla "white interior" use elephant ivory for the dash trim. I have some ivory pistol/revolver grips and I'd wager the vast majority of the population couldn't detect the difference.

Thankfully, much less annoying with Adaptive Cruise. No need to disengage and re-engage while waiting to get past.

Plug and Play in US S550?

Originally thought that pic was one in a prior avatar I used:

I forgot about this thread. Just updating to say my recent first hospital stay billing was similar to my emergency room visit that prompted this thread. I tumbled down a hill in San Fran and broke my hip. Hospital billed insurance ~$200,000 but accepted ~$20,000 as payment in full.

Zach, You has me email Tyler to arrange for a "USED" ESP to replace my existing mew ESP that would expire last Friday. I was expecting a contract to sign as soon as the previous; expired, but still haven't received one. I emailed Tyler today and it bounced saying address no longer exists.

I replaced all of my 36 YO hinges about a year ago. Old and new metal. The new are much heavier gauge and wider. Only did it due to misdiagnosing problem with opener sometimes sensing too much load and stopping mid opening. Turned out to be a failing board in the opener. Bought a kit on Amazon...

True. But that doesn't narrow things down much. :wink:

Thanks for heads up. My dealer (Sanderson Ford) is going to do my recall at my home on the 29th. If I lived another mile away, I would have been outside their 25 mile limit and I would have had to use yours (Peoria) only 20 miles from me. Peoria even sent me an email offering an oil change at...

FYI, Granger got back to me and: The months limit on used car ESP do begin the day the ESP goes into effect. So a 72 month ESP for my 2016 will run into March 2030. 👍 Mileage limit is from date of purchase (i.e. the odometer) Probably won't need repairs costing more than the plan based on...

Interestingly, Lehto posted a video about short range GPS frequency jammers being used to prevent cars collecting info based on GPS such as speed, location, etc.. No doubt that would also play havoc with services such as navigation but I guess some think its worth it. The solutions discussed...
