Problems that can be directly connected to cylinder shut off?
I think the idea of cylinder deactivation being this horrible thing is overblown and outdated.
the early years of cylinder deactivation at GM definitely had issues. I had an 08 GMC with AFM which was the first year for it. It ate...
Your truck is perfect in every way thanks for sharing.
I ran 10 plys on my old truck and never had a flat in 10 years of ownership.... that was between BFG MT's, BFG AT KO, and General Grabber ATX.
The General Grabbers were actually my favorite of the 3 but that truck was always on 10 ply so i...
….anyways back to tires.
im curious here too. Been thinking of trying the nitto terra grappler in 275/65/20 that’s XL load rated (4ply). They are literally the only good looking AT available in that size in a 4 ply.
I have about 800 miles on my STX and I’m wanting to shuck these rather pedestrian looking hankooks that came with it. I want to stick with the stock rim.
ive done some reading and I think from a look perspective without much modding besides a level I would like to move to a 285/65r20 from the...
I’m aware there isn’t a solid solution - yet - for disabling cylinder deactivation.
BUT I wanted to get the genera synopsis from everyone here. When someone finally figures out a legit way to disable it- will you?
do you have any long term concerns with cylinder deactivation given its history...
my 5.0 has that whine... only really notice it at drive thru's when I'm near a wall or sign or something so the sound bounces off. Kind of annoying but I just assumed it was the nature of the beast.
My transmission temp gauge and compass both do not work - has anyone come up with a concrete fix for this yet or are we waiting for a software update? Not a huge issue but on a brand new truck it should definitely work….

Just did 100 miles today on highway/interstate and got 23.4 on my trip mpg calculator in normal mode. My total average is 18.5 and going up. I’m at about 600 miles on the clock.
Very impressed with the mpgs on this thing!

i use my trucks - meaning I haul, tow, put dead animals in the rear (Hunter) and go off road. Sure the lariats and XLTs have some niceties but they are no way worth the upcharge for what you get and they’re too nice to be used as trucks.
An XLT 302a is like 10K more for...
Does anyone know the part number for these? The search function on Ford parts is god awful…. I have to sift through pages of results to never find what I’m looking for
I have vinyl and I love it. It makes 0 sense to put carpet in trucks. Everyone spends hundreds to cover it all up anyways… I honestly can’t believe this isn’t standard practice on all trims.
I might be doing something silly - but when I go to the audio sources in my truck - I don’t see satellite radio. But when I go into my settings I see Sirius360L toggled on. I also had a 3 month free pamphlet in my glove box.
I’ve gone through every setting and menu and can’t seem to figure it...
Well I went ahead and bit the bullet. I put a deposit hold on a silver 21 STX with a 5.0. It drove like a dream. Going to finish up the deal Friday morning with my wife.
I got it for 43k before trade/TTl with Xplan and they were very generous on my trade given how much rust is on that truck.
Im...
