Body shop. Or maybe a good mechanic. Visit a few around you and ask for estimates. I wouldn't try calling as it would be too easy for them to just say no off hand.

How diy/hands on are you? A salvage yard that let's you pull your own parts is a fantastic place to get stuff like that. Ebay is another good option. I like the Ford scissor jack so much I bought a spare for the garage. I just run it up and down with a 3/8 impact gun. It's much easier than...

Fluid changes used to be recommended at 60k miles or there about. Sometimes up to 100k. Severe duty recommendations were around 30k. I'd say pick something in that range that you're comfortable with and run with it.

You probably should since an AGM battery is more sensitive to overcharging. I'd think it would work without changing parameters but might affect battery life. Sorry, I can't help with the actual changes that need to be made. All true. But that just tells the car BMS that it has a new battery...

This, so much this! My nephew was a husband and father at 19. Now, 6 years later, a plumber, he's a happily married father of 4 who put his wife through college and recently moved into their second home. One they had custom built. I've not always agreed with his choices but have the utmost...

Two thoughts. If you can read wiring diagrams get a factory service manual for your car. It will have diagrams for both base and premium systems. You could then compare them and maybe find a work around. Also, there is a section in the forum dedicated to the audio system. Maybe post in that...

Apparently it's Dad's house. Since he won't let the kid park in the driveway it seems unlikely he would agree to adding more pavement.

Yeah, there's not been any explanation of why it has to park on the street. Especially in such a precarious spot.I suppose that's his right but it might help us understand. I know that I'd go through quite a bit of inconvenience to not park in the street. Maybe even go so far as to ask the...

Hard to beat Costco for a good price on batteries. $120 for an Interstate battery. Unless you're trying to save weight then something Lithium. Shaves a few pounds from the car and the wallet. Walmart is another option for a good battery that's won't break the bank.

AAA is a good service but it can be slooooow. We still keep it on the wife's car and pay for the daughter's subscription on her birthday. That way I know, even if they have to wait, they'll get help if I'm not with them or nearby.

My car came with the spare tire which I'm grateful for. I also carry a Fantec compressor. It's tiny but does the job. I've had to use it twice. I also bought a breaker bar and deep socket from Harbor Freight that fits under the spare tire. I also bought a piece of iron pipe that fits over the...

Can't you just pull the matching push pin from the other side and match it up to one at Home Depot, Lowes, Ace Hardware, etc? Lots of places carry them...

Mine came and went for a couple of months before dying. I don't remember the procedure but there is a process to do a hard reset that sometimes helped. Google could probably tell you if, or how, yours might work.

In my case "they" were AllThingsSync. If by remotely you mean an over the internet connection, then, no. They program it in their shop to your VIN and ship it to you ready to install. You just boot it up and do the initial set up. As I recall it was all on screen instructions.

No, not really. My Edge has the larger screen so it may differ from the base model. Basically you remove the trim from around the screen/etc, remove 4 bolts, pull the unit out, unplug the wiring, remove the fasteners holding the APIM to the back of the screen and remove it. Install is the...

Year and Sync system if you know it. If all you get is a dead screen then the APIM is a prime suspect. It's not an unknown failure. When i got the dead screen in my '12 Edge I was able to get a replacement APIM from "AllThingsSync". I believe they are out of Chicago. They were the most...

Pretty much exactly that. Say "Nope, sorry, not today" or something similar. I will say that I always try to be situationally aware and even more alert if someone does approach me. To the point that I try to unobtrusively move my hand to a more "strategic" location. Carjacking and robbery at...

Local dealers have sometimes had the best price for me so I always check with them. Then, usually, RockAuto or one of the other online parts places like FordPartsGiant. I've also used Lakeland Ford online. EBAY for used parts, things like jacks, odd interior bits, etc. And if I'm feeling lucky...

South, Henry County.

You didn't seem to be getting any response. I thought posting something might spur some input for you. Mablelon is quite a drive from the eastern burbs. In any case, good luck.
