I am liking what I am seeing
I agree. I think an additional consideration that needs to be added for third-party (heck maybe even ESP) is how much of a fight will they put up to prevent a truck from getting repaired. I needed a catalytic converter replaced on my previous car, but the warranty I had said that that repair is considered normal maintenance. Catalytic converter repairs are EXPENSIVE. Another time I needed an engine mount replaced, but I was told that I already had the warranty folks pay for an engine mount years ago! I had renewed my warranty since then, but it didn't matter. I had a bad experience for sure. ?
I have a question. Have you checked and pushed the fuses in? The fuse boxes are shipped to FORD and then placed in the truck. The fuses are 80% or more not completely pushed in. This can cause intermittent electrical/computer issues. Sounds simple but just check. I know both of mine all but 5 were not completely clicked in. Also, on Jeeps, there is a second battery for the ESS, and I know that a low battery on them can cause these issues, not sure of the FORD system yet but I would assume a faulty battery may cause these issues as well.That is a good idea, thank you. Unfortunately Canada doesn't have the same lemon law, but ya at this point I think I want a new truck. I know intermittent problems like this are hard to diagnose and fix and I don't have faith that they will figure it out.
For anyone interested here is my timeline:
Nothing yet but I'm not expecting delivery until about Thursday.
I think you're in PA, so I'm a little surprised you haven't received your truck yet. I wonder if this is normal or if trucks shipped quicker before COVID and the millions of shortages.
Not sure if I mentioned this or not. I tracked 3 other trucks my dealer received from Dearborn. They took 10, 11 and 14 days to be delivered. Thursday will be 10 days. You are absolutely correct tho, the final stretch IS brutal.
This final stretch really is brutal. What's more brutal is that I'm guessing it's gonna come in during this week but I can't make the 2 hour drive to pick it up until Saturday ?
Worse than waiting on your wife to push those babies out lol I mean you know they are gonna get here someday but never on the due date lol
I briefly checked a few fuses today because I tried to reset them by pulling them out and putting them back in. I checked fuse 37 (Advanced driver-assistance systems) and 9 (Combined sensor module). They seem to be in there snug. I couldn't get them out I was going to try pliers tomorrow.
@ScottBB my truck finally arrived at the dealer. I have rust similar to what is showing on your trucks. What exactly is your dealer doing to address/fix your rust issue? Is there a specific process or products they are using?@Sunshine From the Back of the rear dif looks all ok
But from the front of the rear dif it is a different story. This is the same rust I found on both of the trucks one a 6/22 Delivery other 7/21. They were Blend dates 4/28 and 4/29 so sat for 2 months and 3 months.
Drivers side front of dif. Dealer took care of the first one and will fix this one on August 2nd when I return from Colorado,
Passenger side front of dif.
How do you like the tow mirrors? I'm pretty pumped for mine.TADA! Interestingly when the dealer/partner added the spray-in liner, they forgot to connect the plugs to the battery in the bed. Didn't realize until saw the error with the Gen setting when got home. You can see it hanging at the back of the pic. Took a quick second to connect them so not an issue. I'm very satisfied with my dealer and too excited to raise some cane. Actually give me a chance to check out the rest of the belly for any rust. Made a quick video for documentation and all looks pretty good.
Anyone tried one of those hail protectors? At $500 seems like a good investment. On YouTube seen a fella throw a baseball at it with no issue, but wouldn't recommend it.
