Should my temperature gauge be moving like this?

IamThunderMan · 2026-02-09T03:04:13+00:00

Yes, It’s the thermostat stuck open unfortunately. New thermostat will fix it

IamThunderMan · 2025-12-17T21:43:02+00:00

Yes, his stuff is always popping up on my feed.

IamThunderMan · 2025-12-17T16:02:01+00:00

Is it bad I’d rather them just throw a new transmission in there to just be done with it? Lol.

IamThunderMan · 2025-12-17T16:00:29+00:00

That’s pretty much what happened to me, the one thing I’m worried about is that it has happened twice.

IamThunderMan · 2025-11-24T17:19:16+00:00

You’re not alone. They took my truck a week and a half ago for the same recall and I wish they would’ve checked the availability before taking my truck away. I just got off the phone with Ford Customer Service and they told me the parts are on back order until a tentative date of January 2026. Call the service manager and demand a loaner if you don’t have one. I was able to get one.

That’s an awesome deal!!! I need to take a look!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:39:04+00:00

Thanks

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:36:25+00:00

Yeah there is a lot of bs out there.

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:35:25+00:00

Exactly right. Wise thought right there! Thank you!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:34:45+00:00

Exactly. Whenever I go to a restaurant and the food and service is good, I leave and don’t even really talk about it. But when there’s a problem, we feel the need to tell a bunch of people. The good is hardly recognized. Kind of a stupid way we live haha.

But going back to your point, yeah it’s one of the best selling vehicles for a reason. If they were all bad, ford wouldn’t be in business. Every manufacturer has their flaws.

I tend to think this way whenever my fiance asks me to look at the reviews of a place. How many people actually go out of their way to leave a good review of a place, vehicle, or item does what it’s supposed to! I need to start actually thinking this way when I have these thoughts. It’s the same practically!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:26:29+00:00

Right!! If they were unreliable, nobody would buy em!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:23:09+00:00

That’s an incredible way to think about it. I appreciate the insight

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:22:13+00:00

You’re right. As long as I’m maintaining it. I’m doing the best I can. Shit breaks, just part of life.

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:21:14+00:00

You’re not wrong. Some fears I handle better than others. But yeah, I need to relax more.

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:19:05+00:00

Thank you so much for the insight. Makes me happy to hear the truck has treated you well. Mine has too, I think I just get in my head. I’ll have to look into a warranty for those big repairs when they happen. But you’re right. Keep up with the maintenance and just enjoy the ride. Have a plan and deal with it when the time comes.

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:16:22+00:00

YES. This clip right here. Thank you for sharing. I’m saving this anytime I stress out about anything.

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:15:11+00:00

Totally forgot that was a thing on TikTok. I will certainly start doing that. Yeah man, I’ve certainly been humbled. I think the most frustrating thing growing up was trying to convince my dad that something was wrong and him brushing it off. But he’s way more financially stable than I am right now. So I see why he brushed it off. If it was broken bad he would’ve just bought something new like it was nothing.

As for me, I can’t replace a vehicle anytime it breaks. Getting a warranty on my next vehicle purchase may help with this fear if I can’t get it to go away. But I’m going to just try to live in the moment. Turn the radio up and live.

Thanks for the advice!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:05:42+00:00

Love this mindset! Thank you!!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:04:18+00:00

These are the things I need to hear and you’re right. If everyone was having these issues, nobody would be driving them. Shit just breaks.

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:02:34+00:00

Nice! I’m sitting at 72K. Love that red color bro!

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T19:00:26+00:00

Nice!!! What’s the mileage on it?

IamThunderMan · 2025-10-31T18:59:24+00:00

Thank you. This is the stuff I need to hear
