I noticed about an inch of water in both tailights. By the time I noticed it had ruined the reflective coating. The truck originally was owned by a small town govrenment. Driven by the mayor. Best guess is they added some lighting, probbaly flashing, then took it out when they sold it Picke...

Wanted to give this a while before I posted about it. Well just past a year with it so I can say overall it's a success. The only issue is when the dash says OAT is over 100F. The thermal protection kicks in until the A/C cools the cab down. I can say it took a dousing with 12oz of coffee and...

Background: Truck was purchased used. PO was a local town government (mayor's vehicle). Original tires were replaced by them with National Commando Tires. Tires only have around 20K on them and nowhere near the wear limit indicators. I added a Ranch cab height camper shell, so some weight on...

I had to hook up to clear the ABS fault I get when I disconnect the battery. Once I reset the battery voltage low. The ABS fault for low 12v goes inactive and I can clear it out of the history. So while I was hooked up I decided to try out the live stream data. Since I just changed the battery...

I had a couple of isntances with my truck going into sleep mode, so while i was at Costco I picked up a H7 interstate battery. 850 CCA. After some issues, I got through the battery reset in the owners manual. Do I need to make any other changes?

I am upgrading my 2 meter radio and the max current is 13.8a. Since there are a couple other things I'd like to add over time I ws thinking of just adidng a 6 fuse relay switched fuse panel. Came across one that has 6 circuits and 6 20amp relays. Plus input power is accessory switched. Could...

I was looking at the spare on my daughters 09 ranger and the code is DOT A3UU 45JB Tire is a Contenintal so the A3 would seem to indicate the General Tire plant in Mount Vernon, IL which when the truck was built would have been owned by Continental Tire. Can't figure out the rest. Any...

My truck didn't come with a console tray (bought used). I looked at most of the ones available and they are rectangles. I wanted to close up the gap they leave on the side so I printed my own. Also wanted to secure my pistol rather than just have it lying in the safe, So I built a system with...

So, I'm 99% sure I need part# ML3Z-19H332-AB 2022 F-150 4X4 SUPERCREW STX I bought the truck used but have the window sticker and it shows: 7050# GVWR PACKAGE CLASS IV TRAILER HITCH Also I've read varying post on whether I need to do any thing in Forscan.

this morning Ford Pass notified me that it was going into deep sleep mode to conserve battery. Truck is 2 and a half years old 37K miles. Truck sat since Sunday (4 days) and it's been over 100 every day. Started up a little while ago voltage was at 11.4v came up to 13.9v after about a...

I got kind of spoiled when rding in my wifes car (2023 Tuscon SEL). It has the builtin charging mat. SO I decided to add one when I came across this one on amazon. I made asmall hole under it to get the cord into the console and anothe rin the one below then routed it up into the forward...

Truck is a 2022 XL/STX which I think is relevant to this question There is a whole inside the console that looks like it would be for a 12v or usb outlet. just not sure it is normally used on this trim level. Could be just a plastic cap but can't find reference for one. I bought the truck used...

This happened Thursday. I came to a stoplight and was wating to turn (light was red). Normally I turn off auto stop start but forgot. Just as I take my foot of the brake, I get a Service Advance Trac message. Truck did not restart. Next Message said shift to neutral to restart. Took a couple of...

So I sid my first oil change on my 2022. For clarity this was MY first cahnge. I bouhgt used and the dealership did it before delivery. Didn't see a need to raise the truck so it was sitting on the driveway which is level. I drained the pan for quite a while. Just let it go till an occasional...

Got this installed today. Came in 4 pieces. About a half hour to install.

Recently bought a used Ranch camper shell and needed to wire up the 3rd brakelight and shells interior light. Searching the web brought up multiple horror stories about adapters and constant error messages. Well for those of us dirivng the lowly XL, in my case XL/STX, with incandescent bulbs...

Bought a used Ranch camper shell and it cam ewith ez wheeler clamps (see pic below). The guy I bought it from showed me how to install them. Later found out he had them upside down. Fixed that but still not thrilled with them. They seem to be designed to be fit's all but the top and bottom sort...

I'm shopping around for a camper shell and it seems the default paint is matching the paint on the truck. Not really sold on that idea. To me a matching shell makes the truck look an afwul lot like an SUV. I was thinking maybe going with a black low sheen cap. My truck is Carbonized Gray...

While installing my Ham radio, I found this undeeeeer the passenger's seat. I bought this truck used, 2022 Crew Cab STX 4x4. It has clearly been cut, so only partial markings.

A little project I've been working on. Step 1 was to split the radio in to a main body and a front control panel. Wasn't to bad I just used fpc to 10 pin header connectors and a ribbon cable. Printed enclosures for both sides. Step 2 remove console and run power, ribbon cable and a speaker...
