  1. How is Pro Power Supposed to Work?

    Thank you, OP, for the question. And thank you to the commenters for the answers. This was a bit confusing to me, as well.
  2. 5.0 vs 3.5 - more reliable when driven hard?

    Holy crap, I just pulled out the window sticker and, of course, you're right. My bad. I guess my memory is going. Over the years, I guess the 4.6 gradually morphed in my brain to rounding it off to 5l and then eventually to 5.0. Thanks for the correction. Well-deserved. ?
  3. 5.0 vs 3.5 - more reliable when driven hard?

    Neighbor down the block has a 19 F-150 XLT with the 5.0. Constant "lifter knock" sound while running and eats oil. Local Ford shop has had it numerous times and each time says there's nothing wrong with it.... We both had 03 F-150s with the 5.0 and really liked them. Not one problem for either...
  4. 2024 F150's anyone seen any on the road or have one yet?

    Related question. If someone has time or interest in educating, can someone explain to me (or point me to a thread by actual people, not a mag article) the upside to ordering a vehicle that you haven't seen except for in pix? I find that approach...what's the word I'm looking for?
  5. 2024 F150's anyone seen any on the road or have one yet?

    Whether I liked the 2024 or not, I wouldn't want any 2024 model that comes off the line earlier than 3 months after the strike ends!
  6. Can’t get Sirius XM to go away

    Call me old-fashioned, but I actually like SiriusXM. After having it on my vehicles for a long time and then NOT having it in my vehicles for a few years I've resubscribed again. Yes, they are annoying, but the product is still very good if you can get the $5/month price locked in (which I do).
  7. Need Help Finding Bed Rack

    Buy this whenever you can find it cheapest (I bought it on eBay and Ford had it to me in less than a week). It makes the process super easy. Attach to a router or rotary cutter (I used the latter): https://www.ebay.com/itm/175444413859 You drill a hole 4 inches back from the front (cab) end of...
  8. Need Help Finding Bed Rack

    Ain't that the truth. Just remember tonneau covers and rack systems don't always play well together. I bought the Elevate rack system from RealTruck and they swore it was a seemless match for my Bakflip. But it wasn't even close; it raised the tonneau cover up so as to make it unusable...
  9. Bed Cap Install & Wiring Issues

    The remote unlock feature has been an issue. Since I have a power tailgate the C4498 connector I was going to tap into (in the tailgate) doesn't exist. Leer says to tap in under the drivers door sill plate but that's a monster cable group with several wires having the same colors as the one I...
  10. Need Help Finding Bed Rack

    I liked the Putco Venture Tec Quick Rack: https://www.putco.com/product/venture-tec-quick-rack/ I say "liked" b/c I needed to switch to a camper top. As an aside, I'm gonna be putting it up for sale in the marketplace shortly (essentially new; was on the truck for about a month).
  11. 2021 F-150 EcoBoost Typical Issues?

    On my second 3.5 EB with my 23 Tremor. The first, a 2012 XLT FX4 with 1st-gen 3.5 EB, was absolutely rock solid perfect. In fact, the only issues I had with the truck were 1) the dash module failed & had to be replaced and 2) the dreaded 6R80 trans lead frame issue. Otherwise, a perfect engine...
  12. Ford Did Something Very Good With The 2021 F-150's Instrument Panel [Analysis by Jalopnik]

    Bumping an old thread. But what if you want the fake needles? The ONLY thing that bugs me on my 23 Tremor is the numbers-only speed and tach display. Yes, I can live with it as it's a very small annoyance minnow in the sea of a very nice truck (and I admit it does come in handy from time to...
  13. Sorry to ask. Limp home reduced power with PowerBoost

    My heart stopped for a minute when I saw the thread title. I thought it was going to be the dreaded 6R80 lead frame disaster I had with my (now sold) 2012 3.5 EB XLT FX4. I thought, oh no, the 10R80s are having the same problem...? Glad it wasn't that. Also hope the OP can get the issue fixed...
  14. Bed Cap Install & Wiring Issues

    Excellent idea as I do have this option. Thank you very much; you just made that sub-project easier!
  15. Bed Cap Install & Wiring Issues

    Thank you. CHMSL wire was just where you said it was. ? Now I just have to finish the installation/hook-up. ?it goes smoothly. Then on to dome light and topper power lock.
  16. Bed Cap Install & Wiring Issues

    First post, yay! Bumping this older thread; hoping someone can answer a few additional questions. I just installed my Century/Leer topper on my 2019+ Ranger and it was a really straight-forward affair. Seems the install for my new Century/Leer topper on my 2023 F-150 isn't. So here I am and...
