Troy .. that's pretty dang true. I actually got pulled over one night speeding on my way out of town. I washed the engine on the van, but something got in, so it was running really rough. I gunned it to get out whatever was in there. I was doing about 45 in a 30. Cop was worried that there were "problems at home." I got dang lucky. Tail light was out, couldn't find my insurance card and I had a beer an hour or so before.


I hope your son is better in time for his party!

Could you see where they were bad or just going to replace them? Going parts store or ford?

How do you test to see if the backup sensors themselves are bad and can you test them individually?

Oh I am sure they are! As long as you don't back up you shouldn't need them!
