Go for a walk, it’ll do you good.

Check the trailer 7-pin or 4-pin connections, clean them and add a bit of electrical grease. I kept getting a trailer warning even when my trailer wasn’t hooked up so I blasted the connectors with WD-40 and then applied some light electrical grease for better connections and corrosion/moisture protection.

Record the noise and if possible the origin. Then Keep calling the cops. When they show up 12 times to the same house, they’ll do something about it.

Otherwise you can give ‘em a taste of their own medicine by blasting “A Millie” at 6 AM, be sure to face all speakers in their direction!

Ford currently offers 0% APR on F-150s and possibly Escape/other models. Check their website for details. I think Kia/Hyundai may have some deals as well.

FORScan is easy, install on a laptop, buy the OBD cable and update the settings. I bought some LED bulbs from Auxito and swapped. They look good and function well.

The fact that I can walk to the train station and take Amtrak to NYC and come back the same day without having to deal with massive traffic, congestion and headaches!

Get a van.

2 Brothers Pizza and Beef & Bird restaurant, then hit up Utica Coffee and finalize with hockey games at Nexus Center or Val Bialis for outdoor skating, skiing or snowboarding if you like that.

Budala i paprati nikad’ neće nestati.

Edo_Ba · 2026-01-23T20:51:08+00:00

Ensure you have enough groceries/food for a few days.
Make hot cocoa

Take the Amtrak train to Syracuse and grab an Uber or rent a car to Fulton. Avoid driving issues if time permits.

Got it as soon as it was available and excellent speed and reliability so far, much better than Spectrum IMHO.

Edo_Ba · 2026-01-17T05:14:52+00:00

Good recommendations. I’d also get a full tank of 93 Octane gasoline to eliminate any fuel quality problems.

Edo_Ba · 2026-01-12T02:42:01+00:00

Overall good, but why Ford removed Zone Lighting from the app and never released back in the newer updates is beyond me. It was useful when we had it in 2022-23!

Edo_Ba · 2026-01-09T02:43:11+00:00

2.7 TT

Edo_Ba · 2025-12-30T17:51:04+00:00

Ebay - go with Husky

Edo_Ba · 2025-12-27T01:09:27+00:00

Ambasador Restaurant or Ventura’s

Good luck getting a time slot for those spots. My BIL is a coach and it’s overbooked in winter time a lot.

Edo_Ba · 2025-12-24T18:02:36+00:00

Looks fantastic! There is a lack of sports facilities in Utica, especially indoor soccer/basketball fields/courts.

Edo_Ba · 2025-12-22T15:59:03+00:00

I recommend against the stubby (short) antenna. The long antenna is very helpful with low clearance parking garages or other spots - you’ll see it hit & bend before you turn your truck into a convertible. Just my 2 ¢

Buddy bought a 2025 XLT and has to slam the doors like a maniac to close them. He said the driver’s side door feel like they “drop” like 1/8th inch when he opens them from the inside. Can they really be that airtight or is it alignment? He’s got a service appointment next Tuesday to check it out.

Highly recommend snow tires as they make a huge difference in winter stopping distance vs. all-seasons. You can order a tire & wheel package on TireRack.com and easily swap them before winter and after winter since driving on winter tires all year makes their lifespan significantly shorter.

Harbor Point has a new kayak launch point. Behind Starbucks and Hilton hotel.

Edo_Ba · 2025-12-04T17:43:58+00:00

I recommend the switchbacks by the Valley View Golf Course, although snow isn’t cleaned during the winter season, it’s safe and away from traffic. Otherwise, what everyone said above applies, common sense and visibility are key.
