I wouldn't say mine is smooth but it definitely doesn't go anywhere near "slamming". Also... i may need to try that relearn procedure.... I'd be curious if it really helps.

Still trying to pinpoint what sounds like a heat shield rattle around 1800rpm and light to moderate throttle. Sometimes I think it sounds like near the exhaust and others like it’s in the engine compartment. Listening at idle today I’m hearing a metallic rattle towards the engine area. I’m...

Interesting. I'll give that a shot!

Appreciate the feedback. I tried another isopropyl alcohol wipedown and I think it made it worse. It was almost like the windshield is too grabby. Blade started basically hopping across the glass. After claying, I had used my Griot's Ceramic 3-in-1 Spray Wax on all the windows in September...

yup. This exact shift is the worst on my truck. It’s almost a lurch a lot of times. If I continually apply slightly increasing brake pressure or a little throttle it’s smooth. EDIT: I have a Powerboost which I think is more prone to rougher shifts. I’ve had the transmission tech ride with me...

Wondering if it is possible my actual wiper arm may be defective? I don’t recall my factory Motorcraft blades and if they had a problem. They started streaking so I got Costco Michelin. Those have this skipping or chatter on the driver side. They also started streaking so now I have brand new...

Took it in. Trans tech verified the issue but says he attempted about 60-70 shifts between drive and reverse and never had the error occur. His opinion there is no defect, just don't baby it putting it in reverse and it should be fine. He said if it was defective it simply would not engage...

Taken from the Ford TSB website: https://www.ford.com/support/service-information/ Checking for the issue seems rather DIY if you can manage to get the truck up off the ground. I wonder if you could even do it just getting the front end off the ground?

TSB 25-2513 released Nov 7, 2025. You can also read a lot more here: https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/intermittent-hum-or-howl-from-front-end.13723

FYI I see there is a new TSB 25-2513 for this, released November 7, 2025. Supersedes 24-2189. Still nothing from my truck since winter of 2023-2024. Hoping it stays this way but last winter under warranty about to start... Does the dealer have to verify the noise to do this work? Or if your...

Now that we're getting into the 30s in these parts, the metallic sound is really coming back again. I will need to spend some time trying to replicate consistently or locating it myself so I can point the dealer at the right spot. I basically have this winter to get this done as my 3/36 is up...

Im inclined to agree with you though I wish at minimum they’d change the shift logic to stop the lugging. Wonder what they changed in the 2024-2025 TSB and why earlier trucks aren’t getting reflashed.

Read through all the replies here. Some good info. To anyone still following, does this occur around 1500rpm and worse when giving the truck slight throttle? My 2023 Powerboost to me feels like it’s lugging. I’d say 1300-1500 rpm. I give it some gas and it just feels like a slight buzz and...

Appreciate that. I also asked AI and got the same answer I just have had AI lie to me on multiple occasions so I don’t really trust it. Ordered the Aero Vogue. Figure if it fits I’ll use them. If not Autozone will take it back. Hoping they’re solid. Apparently can replace just the silicone...

My suspicion would be they’ll fix it. This, unfortunately, is the type of thing I have felt for years Ford needs to pay more attention to… actual assembly quality. For the most part I think the engineering is solid but they have struggled a long time with actually putting it together well. My...

Something I'm curious about, I suspect it is likely normal but I would like to be sure. I have a Powerboost but I am nearly certain that this is something related to the 3.5L engine so putting it in this section of the forum. I've noticed several times, most commonly with my trailer hooked up...

Thinking I'd like to try PIAA wipers, either the Si-Tech (beam) or the Aero Vogue (hybrid). Unfortunately the PIAA website doesn't seem to list any specs for our trucks. The last info I can find on PIAA's website is from 2009 to 2018 the F-150 had 9x4 J-Hooks. Very possible it is different on...

Heat shield possibly? Does it do it when you rev the engine in park or only when actually accelerating? I think I saw a TSB for a bolt or something in the transmission that might hit a plate and cause a noise. It was only the 5.0. I’m no mechanic but could it be knock at all? Try premium gas...

I didn’t get anything like that with my 2023, unfortunately. There was some supplemental info like the towing stickers and some tailgate removal relay switch thing. But it just came in a ziploc bag or something like that.
