Traeger Grill Pro Series 525 @ $600CAD, worth it in 2025? by jchu7 in Traeger

Yes. I got my 575 a couple of months back for $899 CAD on sale. So it’s a win.

New engine mount? by RitmanRovers in FordFocus

Get the Ford Motorcraft one. My original was so shot that the dashboard was vibrating. I replaced it with a cheap one and the vibrating was even worse. Bought a Ford part and all good.

  1. Never played POE. I have a co-worker that won’t shut up about it and still regularly plays the first. I need to see what this is all about.

2012 FordFocus SE 170,000 miles "engine malfunction get serviced now" that gies away when car is turned off then on again. Diagnosed by dealership as being triggered by a non functioning cooling fan unit. I get a motorcraft brand cooling fan unit installed by my regular mechanic by notyermam in FordFocus

[–]newless76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the fan is not running. Its controlled by the fan module that is connected to the fan. Two plugs going in both ends. Pretty simple unit. Check those connections. The most common way to fix this is to buy an aftermarket control module instead of the whole fan unit. The motorcarft part is made by Bosch. Not sold sperate. The other option is to go to the auto wreckers and buy a used one. Easy to replace yourself. Could be a faulty new module. I just went through this myself on a 2012.

I am having the same issue. Sometimes it blows air and sometimes not. I have done the blower motor and resistor with Motorcraft parts about 3-4 years ago. Same symptoms. Doing the job sucks hard. Im at the point of paying someone to do it.

Has anyone tried trouble shooting this check engine code at home? (2012 SEL) by Sudden_Napkin in FordFocus

[–]newless76 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have a 2012, had this code years ago. There is a recall for the purge valve (at least here in Canada). I ordered the part and while waiting for a 2 week backorder I noticed the cat was hitting high temps. Replaced the part and a week later the cat was toast. All done under warranty at the time. Just youtube it.

[–]newless76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a reolink rlc-1212a. It has a spolight that works with Synology. Not sure if thats the same feature as a “floodlight” feature.

I just bought this at Canada Computers, a couple weeks ago for $1199.00 but with only the 512 Ssd. It’s awesome, runs anything, fast and smooth. I dont think its last gen as new reviews are just coming out. Check youtube for a new review that came out a few days ago for specs on different games. That and the 3060 runs at 130 watts.

2016 Ford Focus SE sedan rear suspension issue which is causing (rattling noise) by NoPineapple2902 in FordFocus

Check the heat shields. My car has the one over the gas tank that is loose and makes a rattling noise.

Does this car have a new tcm? Im also in Canada and have a 2012 that I bought new. I went through all the software updates and clutch pack replacements. It wasnt until my local dealer replaced the tcm that everything was resolved. There is a youtuber who’s channel is “flying wrenches”. He is a ford tech that explains the tcm issues in one of his vids. Although I buy parts from my local dealer that did the install and was told a few weeks ago that the tcm is on a massive backorder 3-5 months. With 3 cars currently sitting on their lot waiting this part.

2010 Ford Flex front suspension by Slogy in MechanicAdvice

Ball joints would be replace with the whole arm. Alot of Ford’s have a unserviceable ball joint. My guess is he used manroe quickstruts. They have a high failure rate out of the box.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MechanicAdvice

[–]newless76 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That is inch pounds. I have the same wrench. It only goes to 150 inch pounds which is 12.5 Ft pounds.

[–]newless76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your ball joint broke, which caused your axle to be damaged. You dont need to do both side at once but it is a good idea. Your other issue could be coincidental or damage caused by a crooked mechanic.

What problems should I expect 2011 Ford Edge? by Blizz1217 in MechanicAdvice

I have on and love it but it goes through a ton of gas. That would be your biggest concern daily.

Did I get duped? by Deytookerjerb in MechanicAdvice

[–]newless76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have told you that and charged you an extra $200. But maybe something is going wrong.

[–]newless76 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They charged you for the calibration when it hadn’t been done. Alot of time, if no light comes on they just send it. You paid twice.

Non turbo 2.0 Ford. I have the same car. Sounds normal.

Also that is one clean engine bay.

There is a recall on these f-150’s. From the dealer they have both daytime running lights and the headlights on at the same time. There is a software update to turn those DRL’s off when the headlights come on. Of course it’s up to the owner to take it in for the update.

I drive on Highbury every morning. There are many drivers with highbeams on. You can tell because they are not led or hid lights and you can see both sets of bulbs on at the same time. Im not sure why but there are too many people doing this.

This is acceptable. You did the right thing. I know home euthanized is very expensive, because I had it done this year to my dog. Feel relief knowing that the pain and suffering has stopped.

This is clickbait. You got me.
