My CDF drum was replaced around 65k miles. I was having extremely hard 1-3 and 4-5 shifts. No issues since then and now at 127k miles. Had dealer change my trans fluid/filter about a month ago and it is still doing fine.

Unfortunately, no, I believe you have to pull the oil pan to change to change or inspect it. I have no reason to be concerned. When you look back at the oil pumps in the past engines with the mechanical gears and rod driven it, they failed as well. I would not put the oil pump being belt...

2021 F150 5.0L owned sine new. I have a 127K miles and have not had any issues. I changed the plugs at 101k miles and they looked good. I posted a thread with the photos of my plugs in the 5.0 Forum when I did them. Great gas mileage on highway 22-23 and city I get 16-17mpg. Combined about...

I drive a 21 F150 XLT and I just lift the bottom cushion to raise it up and it locks in place. I have to pull the strap on side of the seat to release it to set the bottom cushion back to seating position. I have never had to pull anything to raise it. This is the same for the single seat on the...

I only replaced the plugs. I am currently at 127k miles and still problem free. on the 5.0L. There is no need to change the coil on plugs unless they go bad or become weak. With FDRS you can run a tool to see each cylinder as it fires, and you will be able to see a problematic COP. Without using...

10.66 Ft Lbs. (128 in lbs). I bought an inch pound tourque wrench from Home Depot, see below

I have attached the files for the COPS and Spark Plugs as well as the specification sheet for the plug gaps and several other specs as well. This is for the 5.0L engine.

How many hours does the generator run on that propane cylinder? They are generally only filled to 17 lbs. from Blue Rino or Amerigas.

On the Side bar of the 12" display, there is not enough character spaces available for it to display the total mileage. I am not sure why Ford did not find a way to reduce the size of the font to allow the full mileage to show. But, as of now, I am over 104k miles on my truck and still rolling...

I had my CDF drum changed last October (23') on my 2021 F150. The dealer at first charged me to reset the adaptive tables. I had already done this step on my own and did not resolve the 1-3 hard shift and 3-4 hard shift. But, they wanted to do to rule out it was not an easy resolve. After 1k...

The next go around would take about an hour and a half. I do take the time to blow the debris and dust from the engine and at each cylinder, torque to spec each plug, put the COP back on and hand tightened the COPs. After all the plugs in the bank is completed, reset the torque wrench and torque...

Changing the accessory drive belts is part of the 100k mile service. I don't see any browning or cracks, but I am on the road daily for 130 miles, and as inexpensive as the belts are and a few minutes of time will give me another 100k mile peice of mind. Yes the belts are only 3 years old, but...

I haven't noticed any difference.

Yes, it was the slip bump of the driveshaft. Ford pulled and lubed the drive shaft yolk and it resolved the issue.

no issues with cylinder deactivation. I drive in normal mode and travel approx 130 miles round trip to work on the interstate. Gas mileage is 20.5 mpg. The oil pump belt, I can only assume it is fine. change my oil about every 5k miles. Oil changes and tire rotations is all I have performed...
