  1. 2024 XLT 5.0 noticeable vibration at idle

    I also have a slightly rough idle with my 5.0, it only has about 13k miles currently but I've noticed it since new. When stopped at lights I can usually feel a very slight shaking. Have any of you checked for misfires in forscan? I don't think I've ever seen an actual code thrown for misfires...
  2. Transmission - What Is "Normal"?

    '23 5.0 and mine is the exact same. I feel almost every downshift from 6-5 and 5-4, as well as when it skips gears downshifting. It feels like a fairly hard shove in the back usually. And upshifts are never what I would call smooth. I've been into the dealership twice so far and been turned away...
  3. My 3 year 5.0 MPG real world.

    My driving is 90% city and I'm averaging 14 mpg. Though I've seen it get up to 23 mpg on the highway.
  4. Trans clunking when down shifting

    There is a procedure to break-in the valve bodies that supposedly fixes many of the harsh shifting concerns that people have, but good luck with getting a dealer to acknowledge the issue and apply the fix. I've been to two different dealers so far and received the same treatment as you. So far...
  5. 2024 Paint - All Orange Peel

    My '23 in Carbonized Grey looks the same. IMO it's one of those things that you have to be intentionally looking for to notice, so it doesn't bother me.
  6. Transmission rough shifting fix: BG low viscosity ATF fluid & conditioner + Transmission Service Kit part 6600

    I've been considering if I should just pay the stealership to change my fluid. I've taken it in for rough shifting twice now, only to be told it's completely normal. But based on some posts I've seen where the tranny fluid from the factory was completely black, I suspect that may be the issue...
  7. 5.0 engine oil leak due to porosity?

    Thanks for posting this, as I've been wondering where to even check for a leak. I just tried to crawl under and check but it looks like I'll need an inspection camera to even see that bolt. Though everything that I can see around that area looks dry.
  8. Ford OEM Splash Guards

    I did the same. I don't see any point in drilling another hole unless you have OCD tendencies.
  9. Some generic F150 questions while purchasing from Granger

    In the end, you'd probably be happiest if you waited. I was in a similar situation last year and ended up buying off the dealer lot, but I regret not having the patience to order from Granger (and not saving a lot of cash).
  10. Harsh shifting transmission TSB

    Just an update: I took the truck to another Ford dealer. And they are telling me that it's "completely normal" for the 10-speed to have jerky shifts. They refuse to even consider the TSB... edit: and here's the response after reaching out to Ford "Support"
  11. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    Are those updates that should eventually come from OTAs? Thanks!!
  12. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    1FTFW1E56PFB27202 I keep getting the notification that 24-PU0227-VI-RBS will install overnight but then it never does. I'm curious what's going on. The other night I even fully charged the battery and reset BMS, but still nothing. Thanks!
  13. 10R80 harsh downshifts normal or should I have the dealer tinker with it?

    I have a 5.0 and stumbled onto this thread from the front page, but I have similar issues with my 10R80. The 6 - 5 downshift is what annoys me the most because it's almost always a good jolt, but I also get pretty harsh downshifts any time it skips gears (i.e., 7-5). There exists a TSB (24-2070)...
  14. Harsh shifting transmission TSB

    Yeah I'm a bit confused by this TSB. But further down it lists the procedure for "Sticking Valves - Main Control Valve Body" if there is no PCM/TCM update available. And that procedure is just to perform the PCM - Transmission Accelerated Main Control Break In routine. I'm going to make another...
  15. Harsh shifting transmission TSB

    this is the TSB I see when I search my VIN on Ford's website:
