I feel your pain. I went in for recall and ended up with a dent in my driver door and a filthy passenger seat. They'll be getting a bill for PDR guy. They wanted to fix it and I said NFW you can't even do a software update without F'n up my truck.
Dealers suck. All they're good at is taking your money. On the other hand, the local Ford dealer I use for my Shelby is great.
Might be time to go to a Raptor.
So I've been putting off taking my AT4 in for the recalls.Take it in yesterday finally. When I pick it up today, it's got a dent in the driver door right on the body line.
Dealer doesn't think PDR can take it out and talking about respraying whole door. No F'n way for a small dent.
Can PDR take this out.
Shhh! DOn't tell anyone. I had Mobil 1 5w-20 laying around so I used that for my first oil change. The engine didn't blow up.
I usually use Amsoil and change every 5K. Will go to 0w-20 when I use up the 5w-20 I have left.
Looking at the same wheels. I have an AT4 and I think the stock 18's are 8.5" with +26 offset.
Gonna go with the +20 offset and they should only stick out about 1/2 more.
Don't know what size you're looking at, but also the AT4 has a stock 2" lift.
Sport mode changes the shift points and tightens up the steering. You get better response from the throttle.
I never checked, but I think that the rpm's at 70mph should be the same whether in sport mode or normal mode.
I could be wrong on that one.
I had a 3 level laminectomy and fusion (8 screws/2 rods) in January. L2-L5. My AT4, basically same seat, is more comfortable than my 18 F150 was. I can drive it all day with no problems, but then again, I got the OK to get back on my Harley too.
My point is, it's not the seat. Get your back checked.
You're overthinking it. All the Eliminator does is turn the A/S/S switch into a toggle switch. It remembers the last position of the switch. Had one in an F150 for a year with no problems.
Since when has a first year design come out "Bug Free". I happen to like the tailgate and use it almost every time I load-up the bed.
With the height of the sides, it makes things a lot easier. The first time I used the step I looked for the hinge to lock. When I realized I couldn't lock it, I thought it was odd. I totally agree.
I stopped leaving the hitch ball in after banging my shins a few times and having the pin lock seize-up on me.
BTW, I have the convertible twin of your vette.
