The exhaust system is a vital yet often overlooked car part that must function properly at all times. If you neglect to maintain the various components of your Ford exhaust, your engine could become damaged and your road safety may be threatened. Ford Exhaust System Care: Ensuring Maximum Performance Check Your Exhaust for Rust or Damage It's a good idea to periodically inspect your exhaust for signs of rust or any kind of corrosion. Clean away rust as best you can; have it professionally removed if necessary. But take note: you should always wait until the underside of your car has completely cooled down before going anywhere near it. more The exhaust is also susceptible to damage from potholes, curbs, parking stanchions, and other road obstacles you unintentionally drive over. Keep an eye out for dents or loosened manifold bolts, hangers, and pipes. Take Longer Drives To Evaporate Moisture Rust is often the death knell for components of an exhaust system. The condensation created inside every exhaust generates moisture, which is usually the primary cause of rust. This moisture causes rust, but if you mostly use your car for short drives of five or ten minutes, your exhaust might not heat up long enough to evaporate all the moisture; taking occasional longer drives will ensure your exhaust is properly dried out. Clean Your Exhaust Often, Especially During Winter When cleaning your car, don't neglect to clean the undercarriage thoroughly, including every inch of the exhaust. This is particularly important in winter when clumps of salty snow can rapidly corrode the metal of exhaust pipes. Watch Out for Signs of Exhaust Trouble One of the best things you can do is learn the warning signs of exhaust trouble so you can nip problems in the bud early, avoiding far more expensive repair jobs. If you hear clunking or rattling from below, something may have come loose or the catalytic converter might be damaged. Foul smells in the cabin could also indicate issues with the cat, which is no longer properly clearing the fumes. Problems with the engine can sometimes point to a clogged exhaust, which would hamper the flow of oxygen and gases through the vehicle. If your engine loses power or starts to misfire, have your exhaust checked. Schedule Routine Inspections at Your Ford Dealership As with many car parts, regular inspections are the key to a healthy exhaust system. It's advisable to visit for an exhaust checkup at least once a year. Our technicians will quickly identify and repair any nascent problems before they get worse. Maximizing the performance of your exhaust usually takes an expert eye. Visit Fernelius Ford, Inc. in Cheboygan, MI, today for a comprehensive exhaust inspection.

While you're on the road, the condition of your tires impacts almost every aspect of your driving experience, from handling to fuel efficiency. If you neglect to maintain your tires, you're hindering your driving pleasure, shortening the lifespan of your tires, and also increasing your risk of blowouts and skids. With all this in mind, here's a complete guide to car tire maintenance. You can have all the necessary services promptly carried out at your local Ford dealership. Comprehensive Guide to Ford Tire Care and Maintenance Check the Air Pressure First and foremost, always keep an eye on the air pressure inside each tire. If any of your tires become over or under-inflated, that tire may overheat, lose traction, wear down more rapidly, or even blow out. Check your owner's manual to know the optimal PSI for your tires and check the air pressure at least once a month, adding or releasing air as required. more Measure the Tread Depths While checking air pressure, also examine your tires for signs of damage. As the treads become shallower, use a tread depth gauge to measure the depths of the voids in the center of each tire. If the treads reach 2/32 of an inch in depth, it's time for new tires. Rotate Your Tires Frequently Tires become unevenly worn because of slight weight differences at either end of the vehicle, among other factors. This becomes problematic if the tires become too uneven in size, diminishing traction and vehicle handling. Unevenness also shortens tire lifespan. It's broadly considered best to have tires rotated twice a year, which evens out wear and extends tire longevity. Get Your Tires Realigned As tires bump against curbs and over potholes, they tend to become slightly misaligned. This misalignment accelerates tire wear and also causes steering and handling issues. For this reason, it's advisable to have your tires realigned once or twice a year. Have Your Tires Balanced Similarly, individual wheels can gradually become slightly unbalanced in weight, which leads to wobbling or bouncing. Tire balancing is a delicate procedure that the technicians at your local dealership can carry out to ensure each tire is evenly weighted around its circumference. Schedule Routine Tire Maintenance at Your Ford Dealer These essential tire care procedures are often neglected by busy car owners. If you schedule tire services with us, you can relax in the knowledge that your tires will be well maintained over the long run. We'll keep track of each service interval and politely remind you when an upcoming rotation or realignment is due. Visit Fernelius Ford in Cheboygan, MI, today to have your tires serviced by experienced technicians. We're a local full-service dealership providing a broad range of excellent vehicles and services alongside courteous customer care.

All models also come standard with a digital gauge that allows you to monitor the truck's health, speed, fuel level, and other essential driving data. The higher trims include a universal garage opener and household-style outlets so you can power tools or equipment in areas with no electricity access.
