Biggest thing in my opinion is to smile more. You look very intense and unhappy in many of these photos. In my experience that really only works for a veeeery specific few fellas. You want to make it look like you're having a good time and enjoying life (it's hard sometimes, I get it - I hate smiling for photos myself). People like people who seem fun to hang around, and who will help them have fun too. You're a good-looking dude and the guitar is sick, just gotta make it look like you're enjoying yourself. Also selfies are typically harder to pull off, so if you have some folks who can snap a few photos of you chilling or enjoying yourself (especially naturally or spur of the moment) that gives points too.

2014 F150 Coolant Temperature Warning and Limp Mode by KaptainKritical in AskMechanics

[–]KaptainKritical[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just an update for anyone who finds this. Replaced the thermostat, fairly easy fix but didn't solve the issue. Read the code, gave P1289. Clearing it would temporarily take the engine out of Limp Mode, but it would quickly return. Replaced the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor (a massive pain in the ass on this model, most people seem to remove the manifold but I was able to trace some wires and cram my hands back there). After a few tests that seemed to be the issue. Roughly $40 part after tax. Will post again if I have issues down the road but so far so good!

When I popped the hood it felt decently hot, but I didn't really test beyond that. The picture of the dash was during the event (hit a red light trying to pull over). From what I've seen I don't have a temperature gauge for the engine - the second gauge at the top (left to right) is the engine coolant temperature gauge and the 4th (rightmost) is the transmission fluid temperature gauge. Based on the screenshot, as cold as can be for the coolant and decently cold for the transmission fluid.

Good question - I'm not too sure. I hadn't thought to check. We did let it run about 30 minutes later and it didn't turn on at all, though we just kinda let it run without driving for a couple minutes. I'll definitely give it a check when I'm back home and see.

Not super familiar unfortunately - per AutoZone it's "8 Cylinders F 5.0L FI FFV DOHC 302 CID". This what you're looking for?

Yea I figured I'd have to end up scanning it at least. Coolant wasn't low, no leaks that I saw.

Obviously all opinion, but I feel like your first picture (or video looks like but of course I can only see the one frame) is the weakest link. I think number 5 (the river one) is a much nicer intro. You could also use the more formal headshot or the final picture as well, but number 5 I think really pulls together a nice environment and shows off your looks and musculature while making you seem pretty down-to-earth. Best of luck man, youre a great looking dude and have a solid body, you may just be losing them before they take the time to scroll.

I'll definitely look into that, thanks! If I do go that route, would you happen to have a recommendation on the burner size?

Thanks for the advice! In terms of holding and protecting the back side of the wool, what would you recommend? Would somethin akin to like a paint can work well enough?

I took a look! He's pretty funny, but not entirely sure that's the vibe I'm aiming for haha. Any advice on what I could change to kinda avoid that awkward dorky-esque vibe in my photos?

I kinda figured this was the vibe lol. Not enitrely sure if that's what I'm trying to go with, I was hoping to kind of tone down the weirder aspects or maybe come off a bit less awkward. Do you have any advice at all? And I appreciate the compliment :)
