  1. Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

    Being stationed on Ford Island from August 1972 to August 1974 certainly brought me, as a young Army draftee, a greater awareness of the history of that day. As 'guests' of the Navy the Army COE 652nd Engineering BN occupied a pair of WWII-vintage airplane hangars on the NW side of the island...
  2. Tell us about your computer setup(s) ....

    Thought it might be interesting, to kick it off, this the laptop / desktop setup that serves me well .... The laptop has 64GB RAM and 2 x 1TB Samsung NVMe SSD's installed. On the desktop the 15"-screen laptop is connected by a single Thunderbolt cable to a Dell WD22TB4 dock, which in turn...
  3. Audible alert speaker routing with 7-speaker audio system?

    My 2022 Lariat 500A has the non-amplified 7-speaker audio system (center dashboard speaker, A-pillar tweeters, front door speakers, rear door speakers, NO subwoofer). The ACM has 5 speaker-level output channels Instrument panel center channel (to single speaker located on top of dash) LF...
  4. Any experience with HyperDip?

    Just curious if anyone here has first-hand experience applying HyperDip (not to be confused with the different Plasti Dip from the same manufacturer, I'm quite familiar with that)? If yes, please share how you used it (what did you spray it on) and your experience / outcome. Pics most welcome...
  5. Has anyone NOT been able to program a 3rd key ..... (or succeeded?)

    Has anyone with their two original keys in-hand NOT been able to DIY program a proper genuine Ford 3rd key by following these instructions in the Owner's Manual? OR, if you've done it successfully, please post-up too! TIA
  6. OBDLink MX+ alternator amps output display?

    Looking to display the actual alternator amps output on a 3.5EB 2022 F150, where is PID that found (or does it not exist)? When I use add-display in the app and search "amp" all I come up with are things relating to lamps. I do have the 2022 F150 extension installed. TIA
  7. NOCO warranty support

    My NOCO Genius 10 purchased in July of 2023 'died' last month (no lights whatsoever when plugged into known good outlet, both connected to a good battery for charging and not connected to a battery as for power-supply mode). I contacted them via the website support page, explained the...
  8. How one Canadian RV Mfr is (trying) to deal with the moving target of tariffs

    Perhaps of interest to some folks with no intent whatsoever of prompting a political discussion. It's just an example of how businesses everywhere are struggling to cope with the realities du jour. Escape Trailers Industries (ETI) is a small manufacturer of molded fiberglass RV trailers which...
  9. Dealer Service (recalls) experience (good news post)

    I'm loath to let any dealer touch any vehicle, but there's not any option with recalls. I've been letting 4 recalls 'ride' on my 2022 Lariat, none of them have been an issue for me, figured I'd finally get 'em addressed if / when a remedy is available for the Max Tow axle bolt. I got a text...
  10. Dorman claims to have a fix for Max Tow axle bolt failure ....

    Posting just FYI Drive Axle Shaft Assembly Set | 630-052 | Rear Axle Shaft Assembly Kit | Dorman Products Product Description The bolts that secures the right and left rear hubs to the axle on certain 2021-2023 Ford F-150 trucks equipped with the Max Tow package have been known to shear off...
  11. It's all mine (payoff!)

    All good things must end - in this case it's been using Ford's 0% down / 0% APR loan money for 3 years (I earned ~$5000 with that money!) ... Still loving my truck, there's 7 years remaining on the 125k miles PremiumCare ESP paid for with some of that 0% money, with any luck I'll never need...
  12. Intermittent skips / garbled playback of FLAC music from USB stick?

    I have a USB stick with thousands of music files (artiest > album > songtracks) all FLAC format. I've recently experienced skips and garbled playback of random tracks during extended listening sessions, almost as if the FLAC codec buffer is overwhelmed (?). This random glitching persists even...
  13. .... says he will impose 25% tariffs on all steel and aluminum imports

    More drama with the potential to affect vehicle prices (among other things). Hang on and hang in there folks, there's just no telling what the goal or outcome might really be. :cautious:
  14. Making the 'Lie-O-Meter' more 'honest' (Average Fuel Economy display)

    Nothing new in this post (the basic info has been posted previously by others), just providing an example of how to adjust the "AFE Bias" (Average Fuel Economy Bias) in Engineering Mode to yield somewhat more consistently accurate Average MPG display results for your truck. This has no impact...
  15. The long-delayed migration .... WIN 10 > 11 (grrrr)

    Well, I've gotta face the fact that MS support for Win 10 Pro ends this October (yep, it's already 2025! :ROFLMAO:) and I'm not inclined to run an OS that doesn't get security updates. (grrrr) Further, the Dell Refurb E6530 laptop that's served me well since January 2014, supporting 2 external...
  16. Pre-empting CDF Drum issues?

    I've not had a hint of a problem, I don't obsess about this, in fact it rarely even comes to mind, and I think I know the answer to my question ("no"), but though I'd ask just for the heck of it .... Is there anything non-invasive that can be done to pre-empt potential CDF drum issues? E.g...
  17. SuperCrew vs. SuperCab comparison (specs & features)

    Folks have lots of good personal reasons for preferring / choosing a SuperCrew vs a SuperCab for their ideal truck. There's certainly legitimate pros and cons to each depending on one's needs and use-habits. Without any judgement either way I thought it would be fun to make a simple table of...
  18. a GOOD-NEWS thread ..... share yours!

    It strikes me that we're due for an uncommon "good-news" rather than a more common "I've got a problem" thread here (yeah, forums tend to attract the bad news, just the way it is). So, just to share in that spirit, now at 13k miles and 30 months I'm still absolutely thrilled with my unicorn (no...
  19. Is trailer lights check routine gone from IPC?

    It's been a while since I used it, and several OTA updates since, but now I can't find the trailer lights check routine on my IPC trailer menu (it would cycle through all of the lights several times to allow visually checking operation). I know it's been removed from the FordPass app, has it...
  20. Best use of the IGNORE option on this forum!

    Not an option I've ever used on a forum before, but just for grins I applied it to the @Ford Motor Company bot. Wow, that sure removed the clutter from a bunch of threads I follow (e.g. What did you do TO your F-150 today?) and I know I'm not missing anything that's useful or interesting! (y)...
