This was a Vegas run (260 mi one way) and on the way there I had a head wind the whole way and it showed 15.6 mpg (also manually calculated it), so I didn't freak out too bad. On the way back there was a cross wind to slight tail wind and it came out to 17.4 mpg. So I was ignoring the first leg...

Sorry for delay, wasn't getting notice when someone replied. I did increase to 40 PSI for that reason when they were mounted. Seems the consensus here is that it's not all that uncommon for that much mpg loss with the weight increase and aggressive tire tread change. There was no change in...

I spent some time looking through here about sizing up tire and what would fit without level, lift, cutting, etc. Ultimately decided to stick w/ 275/60r20 factory size so I didn't have to worry about the above & recalc odometer/speed, could keep original spare, mileage hit, etc., etc. Online I...

BG?

You are being incredibly understanding to even ask. Maybe the first items aren't the end of the world, and it sounds like they were largely fixed, but from what you've described on the tranmission, it's time to take the gloves off and do whatever you have to now. imho

If I can ask, how did you go about measuring that? Top of the wheel well to ground front and rear? thx

LOL TRUE! Just like ford to ignore everything else we bitch about, but latch on to that. Although, I heard about it somewhere, which means the idea is already a thing in their devious little brains at ford.

I just noticed that the nav no longer (older than 3 yrs?) shows me red and green traffic indicators. Directs me to upgrade at some ridiculous charge. Feels like extortion. At least for the time being I can be thankful I don't have to pay $monthly for my seat heater (that I already paid...

So true, I'm starting to feel the stress of what it must be like for these folks driving around in million $ Ferrari's, etc. I'm paranoid that if my truck got totaled, it's almost irreplaceable.

True. That Nintendo shifter gives me enough anxiety without pushing my luck needlessly.

Are you saying the extended warranty doesn't cover APIM? Or that your warranty is about to sunset?

Is your auto start/stop still working? My first suspect would be battery charge issues & start/stop seems to be the first symptom. My truck gradually cut off various modules to conserve battery. Ultimately radio would cut off as soon as car turned off, interior lights off, recognizing FOB, etc...

I took mine in 2 weeks before 36 months & told them no start stop, interior lighting, fob recognition periodically, low voltage messaging, etc., for months. They replaced it and all that disappeared so far. When this one craps out I'll get an H8

I don't know why they wouldn't do both at the same time, but then again, I know why they won't want to do both at the same time. btw - which one's Rick, and which one's Dawg? lol
