Hey guys... ask your tech how many of this recall the dealership has completed. The reason I say this is that the technician that did mine revealed that he missed one of the final steps and it caused this problem. If they don't follow the tech bulletin verbatim it can cause this problem... good luck!

I'd fab some brackets... either mount them to the frame above or run it as a long piece side to side... not sure you could just wedge them and have them stay with vibration, wind and bugs.

Finally got around to loading my BB tune... one word... WOW! No more AFM, the shift points are smooth and no more searching, and the truck pulls thru 98mph to infinity and beyond! I've watched the mpg steadily improve over the last hundred miles from 13.4 to 13.8... If you have a 6.2L you have got to get yourself a tune!

I take some more photos little later...

No drilling. The mount clips into the existing groves int he console and is help in place with 3m tape. I haven't taped it in place yet because I am making adjustments but it hasn't fallen off so the clip seems to work. It is not as stable as a fixed mount and some may not like that. I have a Galaxy Tab 4 so not a small tablet and it will rock a little when driving with bumps and stuff. I doesn't come as a single unit, you have to piece it together on the website. there are two swivels in the build I have so you get a lot of adjustment and tilt. The tablet mount can be rotated for portrait or landscape mode. My build list: Vertical Extension Plate 213065 Angled Extension Plate (Thick) 215413 Tilt Swivel Mount with AMPS Face Plate (Standard) 215453 ProClip Console Mount 834962 Holder with Tilt Swivel Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 511632 The mount is the only thing specific for my tablet which measures 9.5" X 7" and allows rotation without binding. Total cost was about $130 (with discount) shipped.

Add a Proclip console mount for my tablet...

I did this today... ARE Z series. I have been wanting to do the Pop & Lock for the tailgate and now the install has made my job 99% easier since the installer had to run wiring for the ARE lock. So next mod is the tailgate lock.

Pop N Lock won't honor warranty for kits sold at retailers like Amazon. From the Pop N Lock website... Please note that Pop & Lock™ Products purchased on auction sites such as Ebay, Amazon and Craig's List, etc. will not be covered under factory warranty under any circumstances. Pop & Lock™ LLC (and Pop & Lock™ Corporation) is unable to verify whether products sold through auction sites are new, used, or refurbished, therefore, Pop & Lock LLC (and Pop & Lock™ Corporation) is unable to warranty such purchases. Pop & Lock LLC advises using extreme caution when purchasing our locks through auction sites as you'll be doing so at your own risk. If you aren't concerned with the warranty issue then I think that is about the lowest price I have seen.

Installed my AMP Research HD Max Bed X-Tender. Took about an hour, very simple. Would have been done faster but this damn Florida heat!

What camera are you using for your dash cam block8head? I agree that the guy in the Grand Am was not paying attention but your dash cam shows how they don't have the cross street lights properly masked. On a nasty rainy or snowy night a lesser being could make a fatal mistake!

Nice to know... the Escort website hasn't been updated yet. Not that it really makes a difference for me, I have seen the Max and like the 9500ix better... preference thing.

trying to figure out how/where to mount a tablet mount... anyone have diagrams of the center console? I would hate to drill into something that doesn't need to be drilled.

I think they come auto configured... mine has the same label. Will be working through the instructions this week now that my CAI is installed.

Just finished installing my RX catch can... easy install. Now to watch the race... I'm about 20 minutes from the speedway and got thunder and light rain... might be headed for another delay...
