I'm sure there are work-around's such as dropshipping I've used drop box shipping a long time ago, but it wasn't to CA. https://www.dropbox.com/

I checked my email from the time I purchased and its the JLT Model: 3031P-B https://www.amazon.com/JLT-Separator-Passenger-Anodized-Ecoboost/dp/B07GJX14QK https://www.jlosc.com/jl-3-0-oil-separator-passenger-side-2015-2020-edge-sport-st-lincoln-mkx-2-7l-ecoboost/

My 2017 Sport has lived a "sheltered life", never driven hard, has had a catch-can on it from 27K miles, and it is running as smooth and efficient as it did when I bought it in March 2017. When I next do a spark plug change I'll take a look at the intake valves - when I did the first plug change the combustion chambers and intake were spotlessly clean, which could be due to it only using Costco Top Tier gas. I was surprised to see that my Honda lawnmower had a wet timing belt - at 7 years its still going strong and haven't heard of failures - I'm in a wait and see mode on this type of application.

omar302 the only difference that I could see was with the rear wipers mounting clip, its slightly different. I stick with these because the front ones are lower profile than any other brands I've seen, so that when they're in the parked position there's very little of them visible from the drivers seat, and they last 2 to 3 years for me.

With Amazon and eBay its hit and miss getting the OEM beam type wiper blades and that's why I order them only from RockAuto.com The part numbers have changed but I couldn't find any difference with my recent purchase last month. Price including shipping was lowest from RockAuto.

I have - Lift one side and place the jack stands, then left the other side and place jack stands - leave the jack it place after lifting the second side for back-up. First tire rotations done at dealership they chipped the rims around the lug nuts using high speed spins off with impact wrench, and since then I've done the tire rotations on the four jack stands. I also do it when replacing brake fluid.

When I purchased my 2017 Sport new I bought the extended warranty (100,000 or 84 months) for $1,950 and it expires in about 200 miles - never claimed on it. Mine is labeled "National Vehicle Service Contract" appears to be a Ford product. I've been receiving mail reminding me that its about to expire with links to renew, but no price mentioned - I've decided not to renew and continue with my maintenance regime.

What are you using to read codes? Check the charging voltage shortly after a start and it should be +- 14.2v Check for parasitic drain.

It sure sounds like the shop you've been using is incompetent, and agree a visit to a dealership is likely what's needed now. Who do you owe money to for the two alternators?

Thanks for that omar302 I would be concerned for the front differential and would limit the distance as best possible using the smaller diameter spare on the front, and the same goes for the rear. I can see the reason to disable the AWD because the wheel speed sensors would make it appear that one wheel is slipping, but my concern is the two differentials whenever there's an odd sized wheel used.

Agree with @Cerberus LiquiMoly is a top quality oil, but prices in the US are too high and there's other good quality alternatives available in NA at reasonable prices. https://www.amazon.com/stores/LIQUIMOLY/page/1D6CB30F-A710-407D-A68A-03F6F906593B?ref_=ast_bln

Getting the steering buttons interface working isn't necessarily going to help with the mic.

One of the downsides buying too cheap. Crutchfield prices are very competitive and tech support cannot be beat. You will probably need an adapter like the ones in the below link, but which ones will depend on your vehicle model and the 3rd party head unit. https://www.crutchfield.com/shopsearch/steering_wheel_control_adapter.html https://www.crutchfield.com/g_751/Factory-System-Adapters.html

If yours came with HID I would stick with that. The problem I see using LED's in housings that weren't designed for them results in poorly focused beams that blind the oncoming traffic.

Yes.

Haven't dealt with this before, but suspect its the sensor behind the bumper - if its clean then try disconnecting is and see it the behavior stops.

I use the OBDLink MX+ with Forscan.

The symptoms you describe point to a problem with the alternator and/or battery, so I'll ask how you went about testing both.

Do a search for converting to SYNC 3 It requires new hardware and is fairly pricy. You could also look on Critchfield for 3rd party systems.
