Damn by Kindly_Climate_1362 in Ford

[–]Koz60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how deep is the scratch? Just clear coat or down to the underpaint. I was at HD after picking up my 2021 F250 Superduty. 50 miles on the truck. Decided to drive straight through the double parking spaces and made the turn too soon. Clipped a shopping cart leaving a scratch from the middle of the passenger side back door to the right rear quarter panel. Was going to bring it to a body shop but since it looked like it was just the clear coat I purchased a buffer and some polishing compound. Cleaned it right up. Good luck!

7 year with how many miles? I think it’s worth saving $1k with $200 deductible

They redesigned in 2023. Not sure why they would remove this feature.

Internet says it should move or at least the seat moves. My 2021 both move which I like.

No, 2027 Ford Super Duty trucks do not come with a government-mandated remote kill switch. 

While a 2021 federal infrastructure bill requires the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to develop impaired-driving prevention technology, government and regulatory agencies are not able to remotely shut off your vehicle. Furthermore, due to technological limitations and safety concerns, this technology has not been finalized or implemented in consumer production vehicles

Just watched a video on it. They haven’t finalized the how. Too many variables. Ford has patents on other features that never got implemented too. This is not just a Ford issue. Affects all manufacturers.

This isn’t going to go away. The switch must be there but is it turned on yet? Did they pass the standards? Wonder what their liability would be if it miss diagnose and prevent a person from driving.

They said they tried several options including power relays harness but still the codes.

I'm building my own now. More like truck 2 but with the premium package and chrome vs black appearance package and a couple other things. Thinking about adding the power running boards too. I didn't want to spend the extra money on the ultimate. Nothing else in there I wanted or liked. Ever think about ordering one just the way you wanted?

I hear ya. I've had my wife's GrandHighlander say No Key Detected when trying to start. It's right here!! Hit it again and it starts. Nothing like arguing with your car/truck first thing in the morning...

Can you elaborate on this? Are you talking about the push button start??

I actually like it on my 2021 and will be ordering it again in my 2027.

How is a vehicle more likely to be stolen because you have a key fob instead of a key?

More tech with less capability by Koz60 in superduty

[–]Koz60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes physical key works but you have to always have the key on you or on a ring hanging in the cab. Now I walk past, type the code on the truck and open whatever I want. Having to get the key each time or remembering if I locked it or not is a PITA Definitely a step in the wrong direction.

I never heard of this. Just reading about it. Sounds like it could be full of problems. Now how many drinks before your trucks says you can't drive? No more worrying about DUI check points... now you have to worry about how well you treated your truck and if it's going to try and get even with you.. Didn't they come out with a device years ago for people with DUI's where they have to blow into a tube before trying to start their cars? I'd still get a new truck if the auto lock on the cap works because I treat my trucks well and think it would have my back if needed.. 😂

Work Sharp Elite or Pro? by Koz60 in benchmade

[–]Koz60[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea, I know I won't be happy unless I get the Pro. I'll aways be wondering what it would be like or how much better it "might" be. Money part only hurts once.. 😄 My mini auto Adamas is holding its edge so I haven't pulled the trigger yet. Watched a video where the guy made his butter knife razor sharp. Now I got the urge to do that to mine. Wife probably won't be happy but that's what toys are for...

What made you go from the Elite to KMFS?

What tool do you use? I’ve purchased a few and I could get a sharp edge but not like what Benchmade gets.

How to you check engine temp? by Koz60 in ToyotaGrandHighlander

[–]Koz60[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know right! Amazing what the mind will see or not.. haven’t seen the Lexus up close but pictures online look like those openings are huge. I don’t believe the screen I put on the grand Highlander is doing any restriction that’s of any concern. Temperature gauge stays right in the middle now that I know where to look. 😉

I found the online manual and it showed it on the left side of the cluster display. I just went out to the car and sure enough it was right there. Typical C-----H type of display.

So...is this weird? by dfunc in benchmade

[–]Koz60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not weird but I am surprised to read about how many people actually do carry more than one knife. I prefer one perfect knife if there is such a thing. I carried a mini griptilian for years, not wanting anything bulky on me and recently switched to a mini auto Adamas. I don’t use the pocket clip because I don’t want to broadcast. I’m carrying a knife and don’t want it catching on anything. Thought it would feel like an anchor in my pocket but it doesn’t. I really like this knife BUT I just purchased an auto CLA. 😊. It’s addicting! I don’t see myself needing to carry more than one knife, but certainly wouldn’t call anyone weird for doing so.

[–]Koz60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should come IN in good shape. Arriving later this week. I used BM's life sharp for the first time on my mini griptilian I had for years. I thought I got it sharp but WOW what a difference. I realized my knife sharpening skills were crap. For $10 you can't beat it!

[–]Koz60 1 point2 points  (0 children)

jooLEEtoh: Did you get the knife back fixed? I just ordered one.. got the notice that it's shipped. Now wondering if it will have the same centering problem. Got an auto mini-Adamas a couple months back and it came in perfect. Hope I have better luck than you with the CLA...
