  1. Welcome. If the engine cuts out it's expected that the low oil pressure light comes ON. I think you should find a more qualified mechanic or consider a good Ford dealership. They changed the low oil pressure switch, but maybe they should have looked at the oil pressure regulating valve? I recommend using Forscan to scan for codes. Post some detail on the OE oil pan.
  2. What scan and what was it that you were seeing in this scan?
  3. Instead of being mislead by strangers on reddit, take your vehicle to a parts store where they'll read the stored error codes which will be the starting point for your diagnostics. Are you expecting the new sway bar link will address the problems you described?
  4. I have the OTTOCAST U2-AIR Wireless CarPlay bought in October 2022 and its still flawless in my 2017 Sport. There's later models of this brand and expect they'd be just as reliable and possible additional features.
  5. Job done. After a closer look I could tell that this was a botched installation by SafeLite when they installed the 3rd windshield. I placed painters tape over the areas above the 7 white plastic clips and started at the far left thumping the tape and hearing the clips engage. I'm confident that its secure now.
  6. @Haz I put your instructions on the trim piece at the top of the windshield to good use today. I went through the car wash and the high pressure jets directed at the roof caused a major noise so I knew something has come adrift - pull over and the trim piece was holding on by just the far right side. I re-attached the far left white clip and drove home. At home I started removing it and found that it was only one spot of SikaFlex holding it from coming off. All the other spots of SikaFlex were not high enough to make contact with the trim piece and the body. I should received the tube of SikaFlex on Saturday and will check with my local Ford dealership if they have the white clips in stock, or it will be a wait for that. Not bike weather so I forced to use the car without that trim piece. This was obviously a bad installation from the assembly and the SafeLite just disturbed it during the install of the third windshield.
  7. Quite likely that the valve timing is incorrect seeing as you removed the timing chains and that's stopping the crank from rotating - any force applied, such as a breaker bar or starter motor will most certainly cause damage that would require a complete engine teardown. Did you watch the video posted above by @enigma-2 ?
  8. SafeLite, Riteway and other glass installers will first attempt to install aftermarket made in China glass - confirm with them first and get your Insurance to approve OEM.
  9. Approaching tire replacement time again - almost time for the 4th set of tires. Original Pirelli 50,260 miles Atturo 31,000 miles Bridgestone projected 40,000 miles Costco just recently started selling Pirelli so will be going with them seeing as this brand gave me the most mileage. Tires & Auto | Costco Bridgestone's 80K mile guarantee is a scam. Atturo would be the best bang for the buck but they seemed to get flat spots when parked for a few hours in cold weather and takes a few miles for them to smooth out, and don't want the hassle of frequent tire changes.
  10. Welcome. You could use the below website to see if the 275's will work - need your rims width. https://www.willtheyfit.com/index.php?width=255&aspect=50&diameter=19&wheelwidth=9&offset=37&width2=315&aspect2=35&wheel_size=20&wheel_width=11&offset2=28
  11. The A/C does not control or respond to the outside air temperature indication. The outside air temperature sensor is in the air intake duct, and it will typically be warmer under the hood and cool down when the vehicle is moving.
  12. Thanks for that @Haz My first thoughts were excessive toe in caused the inside edge wear, but the Ford doc states inside edge wear is caused by toe out. Reading Tire Wear Patterns
  13. "measure from the center of the wheel (hub) to the center of the fender opening. " Where do you measure the ride height? The above is what I've always used but the values listed in the document attached aren't anywhere near this. Front 2.24 inch Rear 1.35 inch
