I run the Motorcraft FL500S. It seems to be the only filter with the bypass in the top of the filter. As far as I have read, all of the other Mann-Hummel made filters (WiX, Purolator, Napa, Mobil 1, etc) have the bypass at the bottom. The bottom bypass allows the dirt on the outside of the...

I haven't paid terribly close attention to this but I have found that I drain about 6.25 - 6.5 quarts from the crankcase when I change the oil on my 2021 5.0L and the level on the dipstick reads in the middle of the crosshatch area. The level is at the very top of the crosshatch area after...

My 2021 XLT Super Crew came with OE Michelins and they were terrible in the snow. I replaced them with Continental Terrain Contact A/Ts. The ride is great and very quiet. The snow traction is much better than the OE tires. Wet traction is also excellent. I would buy these again.

It's nice to see @Ford Motor Company has finally started to roll out a fix to so many that have beed suffering with poor sound quality for months. I hope a lesson has been learned here and future updates are better tested.

I received this one yesterday and I was a little nervous to say the least but it installed without a hitch and the 8 speaker B&O audio system sounds the way it's supposed to.

I had the same problem with my 2021 SuperCrew. The cowl drain was clogged on the right side causing water to pour into the HVAC fresh air intake. The PCM would have been submerged if the water got any deeper. Poor design @Ford Motor Company.

I replaced my OE Michelins with the Continental Terrain Contact A/Ts. They ride as good and are just as quiet as the Michelins but they are much better in the rain and snow. No hit to the MPGs either.

Ament to that! I couldn’t agree more. Who knows where this would be had this forum and this thread not existed. Hats off to everyone here!

I think the point here is not that it’s hard for a customer to have a realistic expectation for a fix to be implemented when the scope of the process and the status of where they are on the timeline isn’t shared. I don’t believe customers always want the technical details or expect all the...

What shows Ford's sloppiness even more is that fact that they can't even get the date correct in the FordPass app. I received this update on Friday May 3, 2024.

Not yet….i guess! It’s one thing to have a software problem that causes something to not work as designed but nothing is so prominent as a problem with the audio system. I love to listen to music while driving and every day since this issue happened has been disappointing. I’m glad that they got...

Thanks to everyone for providing your feedback and helping to make this concern known. I believe all of the comments here made a difference. If you received this update, I’m sure you’re a little happier with the sound quality…..I know I am. If you haven’t received this one yet….there’s light at...

I just received the update and the problem seems to be fixed. The update showed downloaded on the way to dinner this evening. I could immediately tell a major improvement took place as soon as I started the truck. I’ll post here again after I log a few miles but it seems like the B&O audio...

This is pathetic. When will a fix be released??? Audio quality when truck was new 7 out of 10, after the audio update a month ago 2 out of 10 This is very disappointing. Ford has downgraded an option with a software update. Is this how they resolved the back glass rattle published in a TSB...

Welcome to the group and the “failed audio update club”. I’d call the Ford Customer Relations center (800-392-Ford) and ask to speak to someone in the OTA update group and let them know your truck is impacted. The hope is that the more people call, the sooner this gets fixed.
