  1. Trans Dipstick - How the Heck Do You Get it Out?

    Man…that is hugely helpful. Thank you! Doing this service next week and haven't found these specifics. My dealer literally wouldn't do it with 40k miles. Said it was too soon and was highly NOT recommended.
  2. Trans Dipstick - How the Heck Do You Get it Out?

    Is the level supposed to be between the 5 and 6 like other 2021+, or is Powerboost a different level on dipstick?
  3. Better to replace spark plugs earlier than 100K if running a tune? Also, any better than OEM sparkplug options available?

    Unfortunately FB is killing off the forums. I love the forums format, the disorganized chaos of FB means its nothing but same new-guy questions all the time. Back on topic for tuned F150’s, Ive always leaned toward an earlier SP interval, usually at 2/3 of suggested, or every 40k miles, for...
  4. Better to replace spark plugs earlier than 100K if running a tune? Also, any better than OEM sparkplug options available?

    Owners manual pg 647 states 60k spark plug interval for vehicles with a bed power outlet (Powerboost). 100k is way too long.
  5. Custom Built Adventure Package

    This is fantastic! I assume this is just a layover plywood/OSB platform…or did you use any seat mounting anchors? Also, I made a foam blocker/cover for the driver dash guages as they are WAY too bright and cant be shut off in the evening. 1” foam worked very well.
  6. Permanent Drill/Bolt On Yakima Roof Rack Installed/Review

    Wind noise used to drive me crazy on Ham Radio antennas. I ended up wrapping them with cord and heat-shrink tubing over the coil. Dead silent afterwards. If you take inspiration from the factory radio antenna on your crossbars, you’ll get rid of it…but you may not prefer the aesthetics.
  7. Underseat organizer long gun storage

    doesn’t work with the factory storage option as far as I could tell.
  8. Underseat organizer long gun storage

    Thats a clever idea! I don’t do bumper stickers at all, but if I did; that makes sense.
  9. Underseat organizer long gun storage

    Tried to find and aftermarket solution, came up dry. Wanted a way to take 1-2 long guns without them banging against each other. I also didn’t like the pressure on the optics with the factory contours. Actually sourced the foam from packing material from a new toilet. Easily shaped with a...
  10. Things i would like to see in 2024+ F-150

    - USB taps in the bed, alongside 120v outlets - Touch sensitive handles on rear doors - Fix floppy console lid - Design upfitter package: Aux switches, 12v/30A taps under hood and in bed, Factory air compressor with tap in bed - Replace console shifter with dash buttons. Return shifter pocket to...
  11. Phantom alerts (dash warning)

    Concur with the trailer fault. It may be the chimes that provide low overpass or other trailer obstacle warnings. They alert without any dash notification. Its helpful if you have the Ford nav screen up so that you can spot them and correlate with any chimes (to rule out trailer obstacle...
  12. Looks like another axle bolt shear…

    2x failures already. I feel like we solved this engineering problem 20 yrs ago: extend the shaft 1” longer and put a 36mm nut on it. How is this not a recall yet???
  13. Powerboost squeak

    Check your axle bolts if you have the 3/4 float axle. The noise will sound like a baby pterodactyl after a while, particularly under slight electric accel/decel. It gets worse over time.
  14. F150 Powerboost Axle bolt sheared off

    Lost my second bolt today at 16k. First at 10k. Scratching my head on why this cheesy bolt was used. IRS/FWD drive axles have used a threaded axle and 36mm nut for years without issue. Unreal that this is the HD’ist axle you can spec on this truck and its so fragile.
  15. Blue Cruise Not allowing hands free

    I am in the same boat. Woke up today (9/11) and BC won’t handsfree. My map date expired 9/10. i have had auto updates Enabled and it says none are available when i tried to force it. C’mon @Ford Motor Company, get your tech together.
