6 Engine Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Ford Dealership

If your Ford's engine isn't running at its best, you should visit our local Ford dealership to have it checked and repaired. Ignoring or attempting to fix engine problems on your own can worsen the issue and lead to costly repairs. more 6 Engine Problems You Should Always Fix at Your Ford Dealership 1. Your Ford Struggles to Start If your Ford struggles to turn over and makes clicking noises, there may be a problem with the ignition system. The culprit could be a failing battery, a faulty starter motor, or worn spark plugs. If one of these components is faulty, there won't be an adequate electrical spark to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders. 2. Stalling or Rough Idling Does your engine cut out randomly while driving? Or does it have an uneven idle when you're stopped at a light? Stalling and rough idling occur when the combustion process is disrupted due to a faulty fuel pump, worn-out spark plugs, or clogged fuel injectors. The engine is unable to maintain power, so it cuts out suddenly or vibrates when idling. 3. Frequent Overheating If your Ford's temperature gauge starts to creep toward the red zone, you need to have the engine inspected. Overheating means the engine is unable to dissipate the heat produced during operation. It can be caused by low coolant levels, radiator issues, a faulty water pump, low oil, or even a failing thermostat. The only way to tell what's wrong is to have our technicians inspect your engine. 4. Loss of Power Is your Ford no longer as responsive as it used to be? When you press the gas pedal, the car should pick up immediately. If there is hesitation, you need to check the ignition components, air filters, and oxygen sensors. Don't ignore this problem because your Ford will continue to consume a lot of fuel without delivering adequate power output. 5. Unfamiliar Sounds Under the Hood While some engine noise is normal, any loud or unfamiliar sounds should be a cause for concern. If you hear grinding, knocking, or rattling noises coming from under the hood, have them checked out immediately. Serious issues like low oil levels, worn bearings, loose belts, or failing components could be the culprits. 6. Excessive Exhaust Smoke Your Ford's emissions can give you an idea of how efficient your engine is. Normal exhaust emissions should be nearly invisible. If you notice black, blue, or white smoke that takes a while to dissipate, your engine isn't running optimally. If your Ford is experiencing these issues, act fast to prevent engine damage. Contact Rochester Ford in Rochester, MN to schedule immediate repairs. Our technicians will run an engine diagnostic test to identify the exact problem before carrying out repairs.

Getting Winter Tires for Your Ford

We all know how cold and snowy Minnesota can get in winter, with 30" to 70" of snow annually. If you ask any Minnesotian, they'll tell you you'll need winter tires, also known as snow tires, to drive safely in our winters. As your Ford dealer in Rochester, MN we want to tell you about some of the benefits of using these specialized tires. more From Your Ford Dealer in Rochester, MN: Benefits of Winter Tires Better Traction Snow tires are specially engineered to give your Ford the greatest possible traction on snow or ice. Tires are built from layers of rubber, and the tread, the part of the tire in contact with the surface, is reinforced with polymer and steel bands to provide added strength. Low temperatures change the consistency of regular or all-season tires, and they become firmer. The increased firmness of the rubber means that the tire loses friction, and this can cause it to slip and slide. Snow tires are built using specialized rubber compounds that continue to stay flexible on even the coldest winter day. This flexibility allows them to still produce friction with the surface and prevents your car from skidding. Avoid Hydroplaning Hydroplaning is a scary situation where liquid, snow, or ice on the road surface causes your tires to lose contact with surface. Your Ford has an ABS that prevents your wheels from locking and putting your car in an uncontrollable skid. Despite this, if you're driving on regular tires in snowy conditions, your car will still slide. Snow tires prevent hydroplaning as they have larger grooves between the tread blocks. The tread blocks also feature sharp, irregular edges that enable the tires to cut through the snow, which is then forced backward through the grooves, and away from the tires. Faster Braking When you jam on the brakes, two forces work together to bring your car to a stop. The first force is the pressurized brake fluid that pushes the calipers against the rotors to generate friction, and this friction stops the rotors from moving. The second is the friction generated by your tire tread against the surface. The more friction a tire can generate, the faster and safer your car will stop.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ As we saw above, regular tires generate less friction against the surface at low temperatures, and this increases your stopping distance. In contrast, snow tires remain flexible in low temperatures, so they continue to generate friction against the surface. This increased friction will bring your car to a stop much faster. We advise always installing snow tires in our winters. Although snow can fall as early as October, snow tires should be fitted by the middle of November. If you'd like to know more about snow tires or to purchase a set for your Ford, visit us today at Rochester Ford in Rochester, MN.

What's New With The 2024 Ford F-150

New years bring new and exciting changes to well-loved car models. Drivers are eager to learn about what's different with the new 2024 F-150, which you'll find at your local Ford dealer. Changes include a new base engine, hands-free driving technology, and a slightly redesigned exterior. more What's New with the 2024 F-150 at Your Local Ford Dealer A New Look The new F-150 is still highly recognizable as the truck you've come to love, but it's undergone a few minor changes that give it a fresh appearance. The grille has been tweaked slightly across the trims. Other exterior changes include new wheel designs and exterior lights. The style remains as sophisticated and eye-catching as ever while remaining visibly brawny. A New Base Engine The base engine for the F-150 is a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6, which was once an optional upgrade for previous models. There are three other powertrain options to choose from with the 2024 release, which include a 3.5-liter V6 and a 5-liter V8. If you opt for a hybrid setup, then expect a sturdy V6 engine under the hood alongside the electric motor. A Hands-Free Driving Feature The 2024 release of the F-150 joins the many Ford models that have hands-free driving technology. This technology is called BlueCruise, and it can be used on 97% of controlled-access highways across the US and Canada. While your truck handles the driving, you can relax a little, enjoy the scenery, and remain energized. You do need to keep your eyes on the road, but your truck will alert you if your attention wavers, so you'll have no trouble staying focused. A Bigger Display Once upon a time, a 12-inch display was optional on the F-150, but now it's standard. This large display makes it easy to see maps and other useful features you'll use while driving. A Head-Up Display Ford now lets you equip your F-150 with a head-up display. This display projects a variety of driving statistics onto the windshield, allowing you to monitor the road while also viewing important driving information. This works well for drivers who prefer not to look down at the dash too often. It's also very useful if you're navigating a tricky trail in the Tremor and can't risk looking down at the dash even for a second.
