It may be tempting to buy aftermarket parts for your Ford, either to save money or try for a performance bump, but such endeavors can backfire. Your vehicle is carefully designed using OEM parts that work in perfect harmony, extracting the best blend of performance and efficiency. By letting your Ford dealer service your car or truck, you can be sure only the best parts are used. Why OEM Parts Are Crucial for Your Ford's Performance Quality and Reliability OEM components are precisely engineered to meet the specifications and standards set by Ford. They're typically made by companies with substantial R&D departments and/or stringent quality-control procedures. By using original parts, you'll have confidence in their durability and reliability, knowing they are the same parts factory-fitted into your vehicle when it was new. Ford uses numerous OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to supply parts, including its in-house Motorcraft division. Aftermarket parts, not being made or fitted in cooperation with Ford, are often reverse-engineered or poorly made with cheap materials to minimize their price. They could end up costing you far more money than you initially saved, or worse. Compatibility Using original parts ensures they will integrate seamlessly with the existing systems in your Ford. This compatibility is vital for maintaining optimal performance. Aftermarket parts don't always have the same compatibility, which can lead to issues with fitment and functionality. For instance, poorly fitting parts for air intake systems (e.g., air filters, intake tubes), exhaust systems, or suspension systems can seriously harm performance. Aftermarket ECUs are often installed for performance reasons (e.g., enhanced fuel mapping or throttle response, increased power), but that can lead to compatibility issues with existing systems and adversely affect both performance and reliability. Improper tuning can also accelerate wear on engine parts and often increase emissions while reducing fuel efficiency. Safety Concerns Performance and safety are closely linked aspects of driving. Suspension affects the way a car handles, for example, in its cornering, weight distribution, and ride quality. Installing substandard or poorly fitting suspension parts could compromise the vehicle's handling, especially in an emergency when flaws are placed under strain. All parts that influence steering, handling, or the car's ability to stop must fit and work perfectly. Let Your Ford Dealer Service Your Ford A qualified technician at your local Ford center will only ever install OEM components in your vehicle. Not only does that ensure optimum performance and reliability, but it also keeps any Ford warranty valid. You can legally install an aftermarket part without voiding your warranty, the problem being it will invalidate a claim if it's the root cause of a problem. Contact Bill Jackson Ford in Troy, AL for all maintenance inquiries or to schedule your next service using genuine Ford parts.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The battery is essential to provide the power that starts your Ford's engine. As time passes, a battery will weaken or become damaged and need replacement. As your Ford dealer, we want you to know a few signs you need to visit us for a new car battery. 3 Signs You Need a New Car Battery From Your Ford Dealer Slow Cranking A slow crank is one of the most common signs of a weakening battery. When you hit the start button, the battery sends a large electrical charge to the starter, which cranks the engine, and your Ford's cylinders will begin firing within seconds. If this doesn't happen, and you hear the laboring sound of an engine struggling to crank, your battery could be failing. A battery could fall due to age, recharging issues, or loose wiring. An older battery loses most of its storage capacity, which makes starting difficult, while a weak alternator might not supply enough power to recharge an otherwise healthy battery. Loose cables or wires can restrict the flow of power into and out of the battery and restrict the power supply to the starter. We'll examine your engine, identify the problem, and repair it. Overcharging As we've seen, a battery uses a large portion of its stored electricity reserve to start the engine. Once the engine is running, the alternator begins to spin and generate electricity for your car's systems. It also recharges the battery, charging at full power for ten minutes then switching to a reduced 10% charging until the battery is replenished. The reduced charging level protects the alternator and the battery from damage. The switchover to reduce charging occurs when the battery signals it received the initial charge. A damaged alternator might ignore this signal and continue to charge at full power. Overcharging will cause the battery's electrolyte solution to boil. Our technicians will test your alternator and install a new one if necessary. Swollen Battery A battery contains sulfuric acid, copper plates, an electrolyte solution, and other chemicals. The battery contents are contained within a thick plastic casing that protects them from damage. Almost all battery casings are rectangular with straight, flat sides. If you examine your battery and notice bulges or distortions in the casing, your battery is failing. The swelling is caused by a build-up of hydrogen gas caused by the natural breakdown of sulfuric acid or an expansion of the electrolyte solution due to sustained low temperatures. This increases pressure inside the casing and forces the battery walls outward. A swollen battery can't be repaired, but we will replace your battery to fix this issue. Battery problems develop over time, and there are usually multiple warning signs that something is wrong. Visit us today at Bill Jackson Ford in Troy, AL.

Here are some of our favorite features of the 2024 Ranger that make even ​tough jobs feel like a cakewalk. 5 Favorite Features of the 2024 Ford Ranger 1. Powertrains that Perform The Ford Ranger runs on the heart of a Ford, and like all Fords, it's got plenty of muscle under the hood. The entry-level 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine makes 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque, offering plenty of muscle to move you and your crew wherever the job takes you.

You are probably aware that the oil is important for your car's engine, yet oil changes are no one's idea of fun. They're absolutely essential to ensure that your Ford runs reliably for as long as possible, though, and when it's time for a change, there's no better place to get it done than at your Ford dealer. Time for an Oil Change From Your Ford Dealer? Engine oil serves several vital functions in your Ford, so let's go over those to convince you why you shouldn't skip this service. First, oil lubricates the moving parts, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear as it does. It also helps keep the engine cool by dissipating heat and removing contaminants that can build up over time. Without regular oil changes, the oil becomes dirty and less effective, which can lead to increased friction, overheating, and even engine failure. Signs Your Ford Needs Fresh Oil There are several indicators that your Ford might be due for a change, so you're not just looking for one thing. One of the most obvious signs is the oil light on your dashboard, of course. Modern Fords are equipped with sensors that monitor the condition of the engine oil and will alert you when it's time for a change. Another sign to watch for is dark and dirty oil. Fresh engine oil is typically amber and translucent. As it gets used, it becomes darker because it's getting filled up with particles of dirt and debris. You can check the oil's condition by pulling out the dipstick, wiping it clean, reinserting it, and then pulling it out again to inspect the oil. Something else to watch for is a knocking or rumbling sound coming from the engine, which can indicate that the oil isn't providing adequate lubrication. Decreased fuel efficiency is another clue. If you find yourself filling up your gas tank more often than usual, it could be because the engine is working harder due to dirty or insufficient oil. How Often Should You Change the Oil? The frequency depends on the model of your Ford, your driving habits, and the type of oil you use. Generally, it's recommended to change the oil every 3,000 to 5,000 miles for conventional oil and every 7,500 to 10,000 miles for synthetic oil. However, it's best to consult your owner's manual. If you're proactive and get the oil changed out regularly, you can always be confident that your vehicle engine is protected and that your Ford is going to keep running and performing just as you expect. Come see us at Bill Jackson Ford in Troy, AL for this or any other maintenance service.

It's important to find the right car when you're searching for your family's next vehicle. If you value ample interior space, a brisk powertrain, and a towing capacity that will impress you, then you need to get behind the wheel of the 2024 Ford Expedition, as it has all those great qualities and many more. 4 Reasons to Test Drive the 2024 Ford Expedition 1.

You'll notice just how well your ride remains stable and comfortable thanks to the impressive engineering. You'll drive on all kinds of surfaces, and potentially on some very steep upward and downward slopes over the years, so stability is essential. 3. To Get to Know Its Capabilities While test-driving the Ford Expedition, talk to the salesperson who's along for the ride about what kind of capability you can expect from whichever trim you choose. The Expedition with the highest towing capacity is the 4x2 version of the regular Expedition (not the MAX.) The regular 4x2 Expedition can tow up to 9,300 pounds. With a high towing capacity like that, you'll be able to enjoy lots of outdoor recreational activities where you need to bring a trailer full of gear, or even a boat or camper, along for the ride. 4. To Examine How Spacious the Expedition Is When you test drive a car, it's not just about feeling how it performs. You should also take time to thoroughly examine the car inside and out. While examining the Ford Expedition, you'll notice that it's extremely spacious, especially if you opt for a MAX. There's plenty of legroom, headroom, and hip room, and there's an enormous amount of space for cargo. The MAX has a total of 121.5 cubic feet of cargo volume with the second and third rows folded.

If you're in need of new tires, visiting your Ford dealer is an excellent choice to access expert service and quality products. Let's explore the importance of maintaining your tires, the signs that indicate you need new ones, and why your dealership is the best place for tire replacement. Need New Tires?
