Wont the belt stain my clothes after it is sprayed?

The simple answer is both yes and no. There are different types of silicone lubricants. The oil based types can stain clothing. The dry types are generally safe.

 

If your concerned, first try cleaning your seat belts with Woolite. Getting the dirt and oil out should help the retraction speed.

 

I think the use of a dry silicone will work better (and an easier fix). Could always wipe down the belt after spraying it.

 

Or follow Vega's suggestion of just spraying just the first half of the belt. (Again, there are different types of silicone lubricants. Avoid the oil based).

Not certain on the edge, on the 2017 Mustang, blue is ground (MirrorTap black), yellow is positive (MirrorTap red). Don't forget to use the zip tie to add strain relief.

One possible negative aspect to using different brands of motor oils in the same engine at the same time is to provide an over abundance of certain additives.

 

Here's a good article from Popular Mechanics on motor oil. You might find the paragraph titled "More is Not Better" explains this better.

I'm a firm believer in, you get what you pay for. Mooge, Motorcraft and the like, you know that you're buying quality and warranty. Mevotech's 5 year warranty is to retailers only, what your retailer decides to offer you may only be 6 months. Some people report no problems after 2 years, one wrote he will never buy again.

One if mine has auto-forget. Or maybe it just goes to sleep. Good part is, it wakes up and relearn's in about 20 miles.

Can't tell exactly, is this what your looking for? https://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Edge-Custom-Front-Grille-2015-Onwards/282840295124?hash=item41da9866d4:g:N6gAAOSwdTJafFvn

I don't know, little more chrome or whatnot. Was thinking of adding a Harley kickstand. Make it unique. What do you think?

Curious. How old is your vehicle battery. It almost sounds like a low voltage condition.

"Cracking knuckles"?

Sounds like strut tower bushings. They can size and not rotate, forcing the spring to jump from point-to-point instead of rotating smoothly.

As above, new struts, bushings and shocks.

I've read that the John Deere LA-105 & 115 series are manufactured at Greeneville, Tennessee plant. I know the units sold at big box stores are not the same as the LA series sold by dealers; Home Depot, Lowes and the like each have their own specifications.

 

Never quite understood how that was a "safety" feature unless you were backing up without looking behind you. I rarely had to use it since I set up my landscaping beds for easy cutting.

On Simplicity you press it once and it stays connected. Light on dash to remind it set to on.

Whow. This is a 2017? I'm stunned. Went out and looked at my 09 and no rust. Should be covered under new car warranty.

Tweeeeeeeetttttttt!

Tweeeeettt.

Tweeetttt.

Tweeeeetttttttttttttttttttt.

That's because you don't have an alien whistle.

Alien whistles? Oh please. Next you'll be telling me that my tinfoil hat doesn't work.

I keep a critter chaser ultrasonic device plugged in now in the garage at all times. That has worked for me.

Course the dog is chewing his toenails down to the nubs, but hey! no mice.

I honestly dont remember who the three Ford dealers were, I Googled and these three had forms you fill out online.

 

As far as "non-negotiatable", that's his starting position. Take him three quotes (or just one) showing a lower bid. He'll reopen the bidding. He knows he will have to match or lose the sale.

 

Doesn't matter who you buy from, any Ford dealer can sell the Ford extended warranty at any price he wants and all Ford dealers will honor it.

 

As to what's covered, my MKX had 115,000 on it when I bought this warranty (my 2nd extended warranty) and this one just coveres the powertrain (engine, transmission, ptu, axles, a few other things like road service, etc. I can do any service I choose, but like any warranty, they will not cover any screwups I make.

 

I usually take it to the dealer, but change my own filters, etc. I mainly bought this warranty to cover the PTU (they changed it on the last extended warranty), and the water pump. Big stuff.

You can buy a new one on Ebay for $600 and have a local shop put it in.

Ummmmmmm, yes and no. I got a quote from three online dealers, took them to my local dealer and they matched the lowest. And then sweetened the deal by going to $0 deductible if I take the car to them for service ($100 at other deakers).

If your referring to the grease fittings on the blade spindles, they are not grease fittings. They are weep vents. If you look closely, there are no check valves in the top. (They just look like zerk fittings).

 

The reason is, in ALL mower decks, the bearings are sealed. It's not possible to grease them. If you shoot grease in the fittings, the only real value is to reduce the possibility of moisture rusting the shaft above the bearing.

 

I asked an engineer at Simplicity why did they even bother putting them in (as they serve no real purpose). He said that the customers (and some older dealers) demand they do so. Old wives tale, that the consumers believed that the bearings will last longer if they shot some grease in there. The reason they pulled the check valve out of the top is because there is no place for the grease to go, that it would build up and under pressure (these assembles go hot in use) the grease would put undo pressure on the bearings. With just an open hole the grease can escape when the assemblies pressurize in use.

 

As I stated in a previous post, my dealer also carries Cub Cadet. Immediately stared me away from it, too many complaints. Carry the brand as so many in the area are fans and devoted.

 

For upscale quality, Simplicity or John Deere. John Deere is top quality (not the big box models), and Simplicity has several nice features that a Deere doesn't; and excellent quality.

 

For an acre or lot, standard lot, Craftsman, especially when on sale. Made by AYP, represents best value in an intermediate level mower. Granted, AYP makes s dozen brands just by changing the color and label, Sears has their own standards and they will be there when you need service or parts.

 

Good luck if you buy at a big box store.

The felow I talked to made me feel that they were expecting Ford to give them the information, but Ford is dropping the ball. I doubt Ford is changing suppliers as HERE supplied the database for Sync 3. Left me feeling that someone at Ford just forgot about this.

They are serviceable. Only $1800 to replace. (cough)

If your running a Sync 2, here's one link: https://www.amazon.com/Lincoln-Navigation-Explorer-Mustang-GM5T-19H449-AB/dp/B074CPLC21

 

Sync 3 still hasn't been released. I talked with HERE maps about Sync 3, they said that Ford has never contacted them about map update for Sync 3.
