I put a set of General Exclaim hpx in that same size on my Fusion. So far very quiet and good in the rain. Too soon to know about tread life or winter performance. They’re made in USA and were $98/each with mounting and balancing included at my local independently owned tire shop.

I saw probably 4-5 a month as trade ins at a Ford dealership from those that’ll “never buy another GM”. Probably still less than the “I’ll never buy another Ford again” customers that went Ram during 6.0 diesel days 🤷‍♂️

Weep hole is a waste of time. My 12 had the updated intercooler that fixed that issue. I’m sure your 14 does as well unless it was rebuilt using salvage parts.

I will give it a try. Thanks.

On box end ratchet wrenches? Did you just dunk them in some oil?

My experience so far is that they’re OK. Not great, not terrible. I inherited quite a few Icon tools with my new job and after a little over a month here’s the things I’ve experienced. The 18” flex head 1/2 dr ratchet, great. I recommend this one, I’d buy another for my personal tools if the...

You probably gave permission when you signed the paperwork during check in. At least you did if their paperwork or digital check in system is formatted correctly. I was never a fan of checking the cabin filter every time. For one as a tech it was a waste of my time to pull it and two I don’t...

As a former dealer tech and doing time as an advisor I’ve never understood the “false upsell”. There’s plenty of legitimate things to sell. These vehicles are always breaking, the engineers have made sure of that for us 🤣 Also you need a level of trust in order to retain customers. If they...

Have you considered going to a different dealership? They’re not ALL shady, although many are.

That’s sounds good but how I’ve seen it work in the real world if they see a possible discrepancy that would cause the manufacturer to issue a chargeback is that the dealership says “Look we’re not gonna cover this due to the possibility of you violating the terms of your warranty. We’re doing...

The service truck has a 1/2 inch drive Masterfoce set in it. I was impressed at how complete it was. Very few if any skips and went up to 1 3/8 I believe.

Good to know about the Pittsburgh Pro chromes. I’ve got a lot of Pittsburgh Pro impact in my personal box from the dealership days but my chromes are mostly Snap On and 90s Craftsman.

Just what I was told. Not my personal experience. Every route driver differs I do know that but personally I’ve never had an issue with a driver not replacing broken tools for me. I’ve already replaced the broken Snappy tools they still had remaining using my personal online account.

Looking to start replacing some missing pieces and missing sets for the company tool box at my new job. They pay the bill but have already told me they’re not too fond of the tool truck guys since they tend to get excuses as to why they can’t warranty stuff for them since it’s a government shop...

Nobody can argue with that. Mostly because it makes zero sense.

I’d rather push a “insert favored brand her” than drive a “insert hated brand here” 🤣

I hear this a lot but both Ford dealerships I worked at used Motorcraft oil and filter. One kept AC Delco branded oil for vehicles requiring Dexos and the other kept an FVP oil that was Dexos approved. I know from a former coworker that the local Chrysler dealer uses Mopar filters and Pennzoil.

I remember when Ford had the 6.0 diesel. The information was everywhere that they had major issues. I always wondered why customers didn’t just quit buying them. I see Toyota customers make similar choices.
