Also---remove the spare---probably gonna need the real estate to work the OEM shackle bolts out. New shackles should be EASY to install after getting the stock ones out.
For passenger cars growing up, I primarily drove full size Chrysler products, and the pickups ranged from 67-77 Chevrolets.
At 18, I bought a new 79 C-10, 454/4spd/6200GVW. That truck has been the nicest riding truck I have ever been in (Still have it--parked it with 420-k on the clock in 2010)...
21 F150 SuperCab, 8' bed, 4x4, 3.31
I got 700.7 miles on my last tank of gas.
Miles to empty read "0" for 6.7 miles
Truck tells me 21.0mpg, but I have not double checked that yet
33.8gal to fill it up----36 gal tank
After fillup---MTE read 744
I decided to live on the edge this fill up and for...
No, I did not.
30,000m and no complaints.
No vibration
Steers just fine
The front bumper came up 1/2”
Lowering the rear moved some weight back and made the truck much less bouncy on washboard surfaces and also made the truck more comfortable to sit in as now I am not going downhill all the time...
August 2020
Went to 3 different dealers looking to order a new pickup.
All three refused to look around and possibly locate one for me. (I was pretty sure ordering was my only option)
Called a 4th dealer and he said no issue.
So, I went--ordered a new pickup. (Late 2020 and the order bank had...
You are thinking of the HDPP package of the earlier trucks.
Available on XL, XLT300a
Specific front stabilizer
Specific wheels/tires. (18” painted aluminum)
Specific springs. (Max tow)
Specific rear axle (max tow)
I believe tires will be 275/65-18 on both two wheel and 4 wheel drive
As I...
Yep, just filled up last weekend while I st had 1/2 tank.
mileage dropped from 20.2 down to 19 right out of the gate.
had trouble getting anything over 18 last year.
winter blend sucks and it is not needed in So. Texas
Dealer found an issue with my truck while scanning codes for something else.
i had no idea something was wrong and no CEL. Took the truck in for a completely unrelated electrical gremlin. (I think A-S-S)
this was when the truck was still pretty new (21 XLT).
No problems since except for the...
I can shut mine down and even 4 hours later I can hear modules and relays shutting down.
Standard XLT 301A 5.0 with keyed ignition and basic lock/unlock/start buttons on the fob.
Key can be on the console or in the house--makes no difference.
Don't really car what a tire looks like for the most part.
Do care that it rides nice and is QUIET.
I live in South Texas, so traction is not really a concern and for the most part, the only reason I have a 4x4 is to not get stuck in my very sandy backyard.
I do care what the tires look like on...
I put an H8 in to replace the second OEM H6 in my 21 XLT.
granted, I do not have all the goodies in my truck, but so far (16 mo), no issues.
I believe the truck’s personal command center wants to see a SOC around 70%, and frequently lower.
i deactivated my A-S-S so I don’t get that failure to...
