Anyone else have this issue? I now have my F-150, a Transit, and a Super Duty all exhibiting this. Any time it gets below freeze the windows lock up and you need to open the door in the drive thru etc….
I remote start all these trucks, let them warm up before me or my guys drive them. Why am I...
It appears that the famous Chevrolet 350 that was replaced in the 2000 timeframe by the 5.3 will be returning in a modernized LT platformed form with the 5.3 going the way of the dinosaurs. For engine gurus the real small block 350 CI did all ready return to production in 2020 for marine and...
As many know it was paused due to a fire at an aluminum supplier plant and low demand, but demand has been faltering lower and lower and now Ford may not be resuming production in any capacity. Alot of work went into it, it just didn’t deliver on range. One of the better looking EV’s in my...
Starting to get rotten egg out the exhaust after hard runs or towing. No oil or coolant use, looks to be a failing converter from reading. Can’t warrant until it codes, which I assume is going to be after my warranty expires in 1,000 miles. Any ideas what this will run me?
What am I looking at, 50,000 miles this is what came out in the oil change today. Bearings letting go? I used my dad’s pan and he said he changed his vans oil last week so it’s possible it’s from that. That van has 160k but now I’m paranoid. I don’t want the bottom end to let go randomly.
I have read alot online from people who have never owned or driven the V8 nor 3.31s on how terrible the towing experience is. I’m still looking for the supposed drama they say i will experience between my boat and other trailers. Hauled my dual axle enclosed loaded to the gills with tools...
Ordered up a set of BF Goodrich KO3 285/60R20, $440 per tire mounted and balanced so around $1800 all in. They are giving me an $80 Visa card for whatever that’s worth. Should be installed on Wednesday, I’ll post up my thoughts and some pics as this seems like a good tire for those looking for...
Decided to pick up a new engine air filter with my oil today for my 44k mile oil change on my 2023. Look how nasty the original filter was….just in case anyone is approaching that 40-50k mile mark. Change your engines air filter!
What’s everyone’s thoughts? At 40,000 miles my powertrain warranty is almost up, and I’ve figured since I bought the truck back in ‘23 I’d supercharge it once factory powertrain warranty expires. I notice the stage 1R straight from Whipple has 665 lb ft of torque vs the 590 lb ft from the Ford...
Interesting, an email was leaked this week that Ram is reaching out to suppliers for a 2026 model year Hemi reintroduction in the 1500. The new CEO also won’t rule out bringing it back when asked directly...
Just hit 30k miles on my 2023 and over the last few weeks the truck has developed a pretty aggressive clunk when I take off from stop lights. If I ease the throttle super slow no clunk. I recall on older models sometimes you have to drop the driveshaft and grease the slip yolk splines. Is this...
The 5.5L DOHC V8 is putting out 1,064 HP/830 LB FT of torque. Ford is going to need to add the N/A 5.0’s PFDI dual injection strategy to the 5.2 Supercharged motor to clear these #’s on pump gas. PI ain’t gonna cut it against this motor...
A few dealers have posted about this recently on YouTube. Ford has been acting shady about general stock trucks for the 5.0 and some dealers even claim 3.5 EB. Ford won’t let the dealers order what they want lately it seems and are telling dealers they must order the hybrid. Doesn’t sound like...
Particularly for trucks. I was looking at sales of the F-150 over the last 20 years, and I know Ford touts #1 selling vehicle in USA. However compared to the late 90s and early 2000’s they are selling anywhere between 150,000 to 200,000 less units annually today than 20 years ago. Are the price...
