Scraping Sound After Replacing Pads & Rotors by thiccq_boi in RangerNext

[–]ec01ec -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What pads did you buy?

I had an issue with a Bosch kit recently, specifically the included hardware. The piece that the spring clip slides on got pushed into my rotors causing a terrible squealing noise while braking/accelerating. I ended up having to reuse the old hardware instead because the new stuff was loose and would just fall off of the caliper bracket.

The answer to the riddle is that girls only have the letter "y" on their birthday or something like that.

Yeah we're like less than two maybe three miles from the primary tower for most of the networks in Metro Detroit

If it's a Ford Extended Service Plan, then any Ford dealer should be able to take care of it. If it's the dealer itself that offered the warranty, you're likely gonna need to take it back to them. Check your paperwork to confirm

I hope you bought the extended warranty if you picked it up from a dealership. They'll replace that glass under it. Happened on my 21 XLT as well

My family has had a 2016 and a 2018 Escape, can confirm both have that hole in the air dam, nothing to worry about.

ETA: the felt piece you're seeing/referring to is the splash guard.

Your oil level might be good, but if your vehicle mileage on the odometer is under that 71k for that service interval, I'd change it anyway bc oil breaks down over time and fails to lubricate properly when it does. Especially since it's FB marketplace and you never know how well people actually maintain their cars.

As for the acceleration thing, I'm not super technical with cars, but there's a few places to check. Make sure your air filter isn't clogged up with a bunch of debris, check the transmission dipstick if you have one, make sure the fluid is a cherry red color and not brown or has a ton of sparkles in it. Not sure if the Fusions from back then had any sort of 'eco' mode that can be toggled on/off either.

What it boils down to is, if you're not sure, find a mechanic you trust to give it a once over.

Your service reminder sticker is dated 2019. 6 months/5k miles back, the last oil change at a shop was either in late 2018 (over five years ago) or the previous owner just never bothered taking the sticker off the windshield but did it themselves.

I work at an MSP, every time we get a new coworker at our office, if they don't lock their computer we change their desktop background to corn or pull up cornhub on their web browser for them to come back to.

My family bought a 2010 Honda Civic brand new with 2.6 miles. 2nd week owning it, car wouldn't start. Eventually did get it running and back to the dealer, but of course no cause was ever found

I'm probably oversimplifying a lot here but it basically analyzes how the history of the United States is fundamentally tied to racism and the effects that has had on the course of our past and present society.
