@Todd Z any chance you have links for the above tool and sensors you used? (so I can be lazy and not have to figure out compatibility?) :)

Oddly enough my cruise control indicator has started becoming intermittent. Cruise still works fine but sometimes I get an indicator - sometimes I get nothing. I have an '09 4.6l

These are basically Android tablets so you either use Android Auto/Carplay or you can install Apps from the Google play store. I went with one that has a sim slot and have a data plan for mine so I use the apps (Maps, Waze etc) from the play store... Also in Canada :) Steering wheel controls...

Here you go. I think it fits quite nicely. :) Vents are only slightly blocked (which is a good thing as it throws some cool air on the unit in the heat of the summer) Cheers!

been changing my oil for 40+ years... why am I only hearing about this now? :)

I'm a fan of these as well. Installed a 10" S8 Ultra in my 09. Went with a custom launcher (Car Launcher) on it and customized my own interface.

I had the same issue with my '09. First had just the bulbs which errored every time, then I installed resistors which helped reduce the dash errors but they were still relatively frequent. After digging around (probably on here somewhere) I bought these...

Finally got mine installed. I went with the threaded rod like @Fordtruckfan89 What a difference! (and hopefully, they last more than 6 months!) Just wanted to thank all those that take time to contribute their time and content here for the benefit of others (like me). Such a great source of...

I've moved on. :) Been driving around for a month+ with a broken link - just want to get this done after ordering 2 different kits just for the right bolts. Already have everything else for a while now so I picked up 2 12" threaded rods from a local hardware store and will get them...

I got this Mevotech MK7275 kit and got 9.75" bolts.

I am 0 for 2 with the kits. One set had 7/16" bolts but 9.75" length - the other was 10.4" long but had skinny bolts. I think I am just going to get some threaded rod for this and be done! Still happy with the threaded rod for this?

I'm not a fan either (as someone that learned to drive in a RWD Datsun 510 in the winter) but have to admit it has saved my bacon this winter by kicking in during an unexpected icy section on a curve up here in the mountains this year... thanks for the save irritating traction control! :)

As @swshawaii said it feels loose/sloppy, particularly at highway speeds. Also mine is actually broken now so it rattles/knocks when I slowly hit bumps sometimes

Yes it does! I've been driving around with a broken link for a month now (less than a year old) so I am keening following these updates as a collect the parts needed for some bulletproof links this time. Thanks for your posts all.

I stalled this one in my '09. https://www.amazon.com/DAH10D-10-1inch-Display-ATOTO-Receiver/dp/B08ZJPG2K6 It's been in there for a year and a half now and I am very happy with it - mostly because it is essentially an Android tablet mated to some stereo bits which allowed me to install and...
