It only happened on hard acceleration and trans seemed solid. Just no power and felt like it was fighting itself. Decided to look at the airbox first and seen the intake boot when I popped the hood.

100%, lol no kidding. Had me sweating for a bit.

FYI, figured it out. Stock cold air intake boot flipped up and plugged the intake. The plastic push pins were pulled out. Dumb

While driving down the interstate I went to pass and truck downshifted like normal. Engine rpm went up but just held and did not pick up speed with no power. Drives normal around town. See video 22 XLT 5.0, leveled on 35”s, muffler delete only

That makes sense, they were very quiet about the whole thing. I talked to the guy doing the work he just had a puzzled look on his face, wouldn't elaborate, or give me straight answer on anything I asked. They just wanted to slap it back together and move on to the next. Seems to be the norm...

Got it back and its "fixed" They replaced the : -deactivation solenoid (Passenger side) caused the issue - Small timing chain passenger side - tensioners /belts -VCT's - oil level indicator / tube assembly - tons of different bolts/ gaskets - Inspected cams, rockers, inspected oil and changed...

Yup, my son drives a 2011 5.0 with 175K on it.

Yep I drove it 2-3 miles, it didn’t want to do it but it did. I had to accelerate slowly or it would shake and fall in its face. It was running on 4 cylinders and not smoothly.

Yeah I agree I think something else caused it but not sure. Very strange it broke. I've read people saying its non-interference and then interference. Maybe it depends on which chain broke? I think there is more damage than they think.

That sucks, my 23 5.0 just broke the timing chain at 9k miles.

2023 5.0 - Truck has 9K miles on it and coming up to a stoplight and the truck started shaking/ misfiring. Pulled over and the truck stalled out. It started back up with every light on the dash lit up. I limped it to the dealer just down the rode as it still ran. The codes were for misfire, 2...

21 3.5L XLT 4x4 CC 5.5box 3.55 with Max Tow, leveled on 295/60-20's Nitto RG with 1" rear block. I filled up my rear tires to 48psi and fronts to 38psi (E load) I used a 22ft Speed loader trailer (2700lbs) towing a lifted 1st gen Tundra 4x4 roughly 500 miles. The F150 towed it easily with a ton...

change your rear shocks to Bilstein's

MY rear brakes squeal after sitting for a bit. After the first stop, they quit.

I have the same problem. Even if you turn off traction control AND Advance Trac, it still interferes. My 2018 did not do that and let me light up the rear tires if i wanted too. The light on the 21 still flashes on the dash if everything is turned off. Its annoying, turning it off should mean...
