Thanks, the heat is to give it some pliability and make it stick to the shape, corners etc.

I think it's the colored film vs the light smoke that I did.

Congrats and welcome. You say you're not a car guy but you've come to the perfect place for becoming just that. Like minded people with all the inside information and a ton of knowledge to be found here.

2nd, little reading through the forum will net you a lot of useful information. The infotainment is the center screen with the navigation. Because you get the information from navigation, settings, etc and then the entertainment refers to radio, satellite, anything you get from connecting your...

Not sure how close you're looking for. I didn't trim mine. With a little heat it curved to the lens and just tucked the excess into edges.

Yeah, my bad. Forgot to mention that I had both front half shafts (axles) replaced a couple months ago. Brought in for one problem (with rear end) and dealer completely ignored me asking about front end since they had it. Was tired of taking back to the dealer twice anytime I brought it to them...

Like J368 said. Little soapy water and a heat is best way to go. Spray it liberal on the back so you can slide it around to get into place. The shape of the fogs is tricky...took me the longest to tint on the whole car. heat will help it shrink/stick into place. Don't be afraid to pull of...

Congrats on the pick-up and welcome! Unfortunately the drivetrain can be finicky. You'll find tons of threads here with issues like this. Forum is a great place for knowledge and like minded people to come together with similar issues so it's a double edged sword. The good news and hopefully...

Wow, thats a back-log for sure at the dealer. Can always try another place to at least get it looked at with the codes. Without knowing the issue the fluid service may not change anything, just something to be aware of.

There are a couple bulletins about hard shifting. Have you serviced trans fluid before this point? Would deff have dealer look at it and mention the TSB's around the transmission. Good luck, hopefully codes match up and point them in right direction.

So fun fact to make things a little more interesting...the same year F150's have a recall for the wiper motor. Hasn't trickled down to any other models yet. I didn't research too hard since I doubt i'd get reimbursed for the part I installed myself. Just hope no one gets stuck the way I did when...

Class act with the response. Love your products!

Wow, thats fast. I was amazed that the shop even had tires with no warranty available. I could spend a similar amount on a name brand that had zero mileage warranty...what a world!

The big thing is to feel confident driving. You being in an area with snow I'd imagine you should be fine. Even with Chicago winters I didn't have any issues on my low tread tires until last winter and I drive aggressively. Those tread depths wouldn't bother me much though I'd start planning...

Like they mentioned. The only thing a proper patch will do is negate any speed rating moving forward. Always recommend patch over a plug so that you know it's done right and will last as long as the tire. In an emergency a plug will get you there. If you do incorrectly you can make puncture...
