I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I can't get my Expedition to stop saying trailer disconnected. I got an identical counterfeit part from Ebay. I was about to go waste money at the dealership. I also found a guy on reddit that said he used the one with the red wire in it and it drains his battery and works but will not stop saying trailer disconnected but your video solved it for me. Thank you so much.

Hi. I’ve been seeing on different vapor canister sellers sites that you’re supposed to mount it high. Above the fuel filler at minimum. Just fyi. I’m still learning about these things

That’s a good tip. Makes sense that you’d want it high to not have any fuel leaks

I followed your easy instructions and it went pretty smooth. The only flaw was the band to compress the shocks was tooooooo long. I ended up using a pry bar and some bicep grease to fit them up. I like them. Much smoother than the probably stock shocks from 2013 (I bought it used in 2015).

car brands dont manufacture their lug nuts and never have. the fact is every brand gets their nuts from different manufacturers of nuts and bolts. blaming ford for something they dont make is rather fuckin wrong. wheel lug nuts dont actually require being torqued to any specific number. tight is tight.

At least you're not dealing with a split rim on an old semi. Those things are killers. The demountable is fine, but the demoutable portion having the split in it made them EXTREMELY lethal. Just the demountable rim would be great today because tires changes would go a LOT faster.

@@SmackeysGarage Yeah, they are an interesting item. Having the portion of the rim where the bead of the tire mounts separate from the rest of the wheel allows the spare to be inflated the whole time. Those need to come back, minus the split in the rim that could fail and make it a projectile.
