I do the bulk fill the old way and the last part I do under vacuum, with all my vehicles regardless whether a procedure calls for vacuum filling.

I made no mention of the owners manual - I too wouldn't purchase the owners manual.

The shop manuals on eBay are mostly bootleg copies and some of them are good versions that have indexing and searchable. Post a link to the ones you're looking at.

From the 2017 Sport manual

I don't use a torque wrench on the lug nuts, so can't comment on that question. Within the first 15K miles of my Sports life the Ford dealership damaged the aluminum cladding on the lug nuts due to the use of impact wrenches for removing and installing them - they gave me a complete new set - 125K miles and they're still in "as new" condition. Recently had tires installed at Costco - added clear instructions to the job card that no impact wrench be used - I watched and they didn't use impacts. .

That is a major undertaking and must cost a fortune in labor and materials but will serve you well for many years.

A possible reason is that the email domain is one that's typically used by forum spammers.

This is going off-topic. You already have separate threads on performance modifications, so further posts on that should be in those existing threads.

I expect a looooong wait. Ford to recall 1.74 million vehicles in US over rearview camera issue, NHTSA says https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/ford-recall-174-million-vehicles-us-over-rearview-camera-issue-nhtsa-says-2026-03-06/

I would not consider any modifications - don't have the money for the modifications nor the premature failure that's typically associated with such modifications. 100% Costco Top Tier gas and every three months 16oz of TECHRON - 266701317 Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner, 32 oz which I buy from Napa when on special. Borescope combustion chamber and intake and never seen the need for CRC etc. Using a catch-can may have helped avoid contamination. .

Mine wasn't a constant rattle - it was corrected using the method described in the below thread.

I have 124K miles on my 2017 Sport.

My original pads also lasted as long as @dabangsta and they performed well. I changed them somewhat prematurely to the Akebona low dust - this will keep your wheels and calipers clean.

Welcome. I went from the stock HID's to OSRAM Xenarc Night Breaker and found them marginally better than the originals. Please add you model to your profile signature.

I did that - looks great.

Cannister purge valve failure causing excessive vacuum in the gas tank.

@omar302 Good to hear. In my opinion this is a premature failure of this type of joint and suspect its improper lubricant. I occasionally had the clunk with the steering at full lock and pulling off. Another symptom is what sounded like gear whine to me and thought it was my transfer case going out. That whine is about gone - its very faint now and sounds like its coming from the rear and if I monitor the AWD to FWD transfer I can hear a decrease at that time goes into FWD, which has me thinking about changing the rear CV Axles and if I do I'll be looking the TrakMotive or GSP on RockAuto.com $85 per CV Axle, most likely also incorrect lubricant, experience changing these and the fact that it should be easier on the rear, makes me close to pulling the trigger on replacing the rear. I had symptoms 2, 3, 4 & 5 described in the attached document. https://www.rockauto.com/info/570/TrakMotive-Noise-Sumptoms-of-a-Worn-CV-Shaft-02.17.pdf Anyone have experience with TrakMotive or GSP CV Axles?

I don't believe that the octane has anything to do with it - mine does exactly the same on the higher octane Costco top tier gas and the only thing that resolves it is a new OEM Motocraft/FoMoco evap valve. Part # GL3Z 9B325 B .

Wonder how long we'll wait before they provide the remedy?

Welcome. Only guessing it sounds like a bad ground connection, but would start by reading the stored fault codes.

I have to date never seen a combination IAT/MAF device - they may exist but guess they're scarce - I wouldn't rely on AI for this type of thing. The device in your image is an IAT and even if it gets a little dust and dirt on it, it would function without an issue.

I believe your assumptions are incorrect. The IAT isn't sensitive to fouling. These days an MAP has taken the place of the MAF - the MAP is way less sensitive to fouling compared to the MAF and its very rare that it requires cleaning. My 2017 2.7L has 123K miles on it and its never needed carbon removal. .
