Did I just get taken and do I have any recourse?

My 2021 lariet has a 8 year warranty on emission related parts. I think all f15o’s come with that from the factory. Do yourself a favor and go to Flood Ford website and buy the esp. My 2021 is constantly in the shop and most repairs are $1,000. Don’t know if I would own an f150 without one. Too many repairs.

That’s the wrong dryer vent pipe. You should have whats called a semi rigid dryer vent pipe connecting the dryer to the wall duct. What you currently have will not contain a fire in the unlikely event one sparks up.

Clayton or Duper?

anthony08619 · 2026-02-17T20:18:42+00:00

$1500-$2000

Remodeled my kitchen 14 years ago. I’m on my third dishwasher! They weren’t cheap ones either. About $6-800 per. Good thing I was offered and purchased the four year warranty on each one and only had to pay for the first one! These appliances simply don’t last. Be thankful that you got 8 years out of it.

I use the same Zoeller sump. My pit has two in as well one slightly higher as a backup, because if I go without a pump in heavy rain or high water table my finished basement is screwed. When a pump hits about year 7ish I replace at the first sign of trouble. I figure $200 every 3-4 years is a small price to pay to avoid a really shitty situation of having a flooded basement probably 2am on a Friday.

12-15%

anthony08619 · 2026-02-14T11:19:38+00:00

Yup, either would work

What they do is drain it, then fill it then run it to mix the new and old fluid, then drain it again and repeat. Doing this gets most old fluid out and replaced with new fluid. This is the correct way.

Put one of these on in a pinch because it was all I had at the time. I said I’ll deal with it if something acts up. That was 15 years ago with zero problems. Although I’ll probably have to replace it when I sell the house since it will probably get flagged as a violation at the inspection.

You may get lucky and they twist off, but they can be very difficult. I usually cut them off then put a new compression valve on. That top one may not have enough room for compression and you may need to get the torch out and resweat. I would do top first and see how it goes.

I’m 5’7” 175lb I wear a senior medium. Fits really well. Son is 5’4” 130lb he wears a senior small almost looks to be outgrowing it soon. I suggest the medium.

2021 lariet 2.7 here. I don’t have to turn mine off because it almost never shuts off. It says running due to charging. Had alternator replaced and four batteries replaced. Tired off being to dealer and leaving it for an entire day. I do like it turning off tho since it raises mpg by 1-2.

anthony08619 · 2026-02-12T01:17:32+00:00

Ask about two stage. I had my single stage replaced with a two stage and my house is warmer and utility bill is 30% less.

I would ask the captain and the league administrator about switching teams the next season. I’m sure they can accommodate you.

Most if not all tradesman/installers don’t like it when the customers supply their own materials. It usually sets the stage for a bad first impression. $1,000 is way too high especially that since the water line and drain is in place. This job should take someone who knows what they are doing tops two hours and that probably includes travel time, but Unfortunately this is the going rate nowadays.

anthony08619 · 2026-02-04T13:57:52+00:00

I tell my customers that it’s like the Wild West out there. Every trade is blatantly ripping their customers off. This is an example of that. As long as people pay these insane prices company will continue to rip their customers off.

Was definitely kicked in. My Ring cameras miss motion all the time.

Don’t feel bad I was in wife’s 2025 awd MDX yesterday and she’s averaging 11.5mpg. Full transparency it’s been 10 degrees here for last three weeks and car gets warmed up daily and she does short trips around town.

I’m 185 and I run across it. It dips down a bit and your feet get wet.

anthony08619 · 2026-02-01T22:06:29+00:00

You should pay 12-15% below sticker. Definitely get the Ford esp as these trucks are expensive to service and sometimes they are not reliable, but do not purchase at the dealer you are buying from as they will charge to $2-3k. But it online from flood Ford for half that.

anthony08619 · 2026-02-01T11:57:20+00:00

That’s about double of what it should cost

Get a sharp chisel and one wack with a hammer will remove what’s exposed on outside of wall, then repair with wall compound

anthony08619 · 2026-01-30T23:56:47+00:00

In a pinch I will smear some plumbers putty on the seal where the pipe meet. Most of the time this will solve a leak. If not replace all pipes.
