If I relied on the oil life monitor I'd be changing the oil at around 10K miles, which is twice the mileage I change it at using good brand full synthetic. If I were you I'd change the oil when the oil life monitor is around 50%. Water under the bride but I take the attached photos at each oil change to keep with my Xcel spreadsheet. I don't know, but doubt that Forscan would have that history.

What scanner are you using?

@doubleg2582 What sensors did you buy?
-
Buying these sensors from Amazon or eBay is hit and miss - sometimes you get lucky. Never heard of multiple ways to set it to learn mode - could you describe the method you used with the hazard button.
-
I also prefer to trigger them with the car set to relearn rather than wait for them to auto-relearn. Ford TPMS Reset Tool Tire Pressure Sensor Training Activation Transmitter
-
Welcome. What sensors did you buy and from who/where? If the sensors are good the car will auto relearn the new sensor ID's. There is a procedure to put the vehicle inn relearn mode and use a cheap trigger devices to activate each sensor as needed.

At 114K miles I've changed plugs twice without changing coils - if one coil fails I'll look at changing them all.

Jack points and jack stand placements?
1004ron replied to Vortechtral's topic in Brakes, Chassis & Suspension
I use a puck style pinch weld protector on my floor jack positioning it about a foot rearward of the side mirror and lift until both wheels have sufficient clearance and then put the jack stands at the marked jacking points and lower the floor jack. I also have protectors on my jack stands. If I'm working on something like brakes I'll leave the jack in place for backup. -
It changed on the later models - not sure at what year they moved to the PTU.

FORscan. I doubt that this will resolve your reported intermittent issue - what you describe sounds like a bad connection. Scan for codes with FORScan.

Changing my belt at 100K, what else should I replace?
1004ron replied to TXHoss's topic in 2.0L EcoBoost
At around that mileage I did my serpentine belt, tensioner assy and idler. The friction damper in the tensioner wears and so does the bearing in both the tensioner and idler. -
Welcome. I haven't seen any reports on here with the problem you describe - hopefully someone else has and can offer advice.

Small Plastic Shield near front right fender liner - part number?
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in Exterior & Body
New part installed. The new part is a little stronger in the area that the old one broke. The repair to the old part held up well - very solid. New part is Made in Canada. -
I'm surprised to hear that a 2019 model still uses and EGR valve. Please add your Model & Year to your profile signature - https://www.fordedgeforum.com/settings/signature/

Welcome. If the engine cuts out it's expected that the low oil pressure light comes ON. I think you should find a more qualified mechanic or consider a good Ford dealership. They changed the low oil pressure switch, but maybe they should have looked at the oil pressure regulating valve? I recommend using Forscan to scan for codes. Post some detail on the OE oil pan.

What scan and what was it that you were seeing in this scan?
-
Instead of being mislead by strangers on reddit, take your vehicle to a parts store where they'll read the stored error codes which will be the starting point for your diagnostics. Are you expecting the new sway bar link will address the problems you described?

Wireless CarPlay Adapter Problems
1004ron replied to Rchalk's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
I have the OTTOCAST U2-AIR Wireless CarPlay bought in October 2022 and its still flawless in my 2017 Sport. There's later models of this brand and expect they'd be just as reliable and possible additional features. -
Windshield Replacement
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
Job done. After a closer look I could tell that this was a botched installation by SafeLite when they installed the 3rd windshield. I placed painters tape over the areas above the 7 white plastic clips and started at the far left thumping the tape and hearing the clips engage. I'm confident that its secure now. -
Windshield Replacement
1004ron replied to 1004ron's topic in Glass, Lenses, Lighting, Mirrors, Sunroof (BAMR), Wipers
@Haz I put your instructions on the trim piece at the top of the windshield to good use today. I went through the car wash and the high pressure jets directed at the roof caused a major noise so I knew something has come adrift - pull over and the trim piece was holding on by just the far right side. I re-attached the far left white clip and drove home. At home I started removing it and found that it was only one spot of SikaFlex holding it from coming off. All the other spots of SikaFlex were not high enough to make contact with the trim piece and the body. I should received the tube of SikaFlex on Saturday and will check with my local Ford dealership if they have the white clips in stock, or it will be a wait for that. Not bike weather so I forced to use the car without that trim piece. This was obviously a bad installation from the assembly and the SafeLite just disturbed it during the install of the third windshield. -
Quite likely that the valve timing is incorrect seeing as you removed the timing chains and that's stopping the crank from rotating - any force applied, such as a breaker bar or starter motor will most certainly cause damage that would require a complete engine teardown. Did you watch the video posted above by @enigma-2 ?

SafeLite, Riteway and other glass installers will first attempt to install aftermarket made in China glass - confirm with them first and get your Insurance to approve OEM.

Replacement Options for 21" Pirelli P-Zero Performance Tires
1004ron replied to roots57's topic in Wheels & Tires
Approaching tire replacement time again - almost time for the 4th set of tires. Original Pirelli 50,260 miles Atturo 31,000 miles Bridgestone projected 40,000 miles Costco just recently started selling Pirelli so will be going with them seeing as this brand gave me the most mileage. Tires & Auto | Costco Bridgestone's 80K mile guarantee is a scam. Atturo would be the best bang for the buck but they seemed to get flat spots when parked for a few hours in cold weather and takes a few miles for them to smooth out, and don't want the hassle of frequent tire changes.
