Hi all,
I just drove my truck and got a message on the center screen about a pcm update relating to on board diagnostics downloading. Says it improves on board diagnostics to help my engine perform to specifications, whatever that means. Anybody know what this one is about?
Hi all,
I'm just wondering which is quickest, both stone stock. Since there are different configurations of powerboost trucks available, I guess use the quickest one as a comparison. A stock rcsb 4wd will do the 1/4 mile in the mid 13's, but I really don't know about a powerboost.
Hi all,
When someone gets banned from this site for being a douchebag, is the ban generally permanent, or is it usually a vacation? Asking for a friend...
I hooked up my car trailer (around 2300 lbs empty) Saturday and went to buy a mustang. I'm guessing the mustang weighs about 3200 lbs or so. Truck did fine, and according to the lie-o-meter got 16.8 mpg pulling the trailer with the car, at about 65 mph. Air conditioning was on about half of...
I had originally planned to put a whipple on my truck. My financial priorities have somewhat changed, especially since my lemon law issue with ram is heading towards an actual lawsuit. So the whipple may not happen soon, or even at all. But what I'm left with is a really good truck that by...
I just read a news story about a bunch of fomoco vehicles from '24 to '25 that may have an incorrectly machined valvebody that can cause unexpected forward motion while in neutral or reverse. 2024 and 2025 f150's are mentioned. Anybody else hear about this?
Hi all,
Do I need forscan to turn off the door open/seatbelt not buckled/etc chimes, and make that annoying popup screen with a "map" of the seatbelts showing status go away? I always wear the belt unless I'm driving across the yard to/from the shop. I also don't see the need for my...
Hi all,
I finally took my dragy out of the box and set it up. Made a pass on a concrete road in 4wd a while ago. Truck has 1600 miles on it, is running on 88 octane 15% ethanol fuel, temp was right about 60 degrees. 60' time was 2.05s, 0-60 mph time was 5.3s, 1/8th mile 8.76 at 81.6...
Hi all,
It's well known now that 24's lost the ability to use e85, at least from the factory. My current understanding is that no actual hardware changes took place, that the difference is due to not programming for it. I also understand that the trucks that do support e85 do not use...
Hi all,
I got my new '24 rcsb 4x4 home yesterday, and after taking a nap I took it to the local farmer's coop and weighed it. Without me in it, with a half tank of fuel, it weighed 4500 lbs. The only option the truck came with is running boards, which don't look all that heavy.
Hi all,
Have any of you put a block heater on a 5.0 in an f150? I'm buying my rcsb from a dealer near Atlanta, and there's predictably the truck does not have a block heater from the factory. I got the salesman to ask the service department about installing one, and they acted all...
Hi all,
I'm trying to get an idea of where I might eventually want to go with forced induction on my soon-to-be-here '24 rcsb 4x4. I like the whipple setup and I like the hellion sleeper setup (with the turbos under the truck). I'm very comfortable with turbocharging, I've had...
Hi all, I just test drove a 2024 rcsb with a whipple yesterday. The salesman said it's a gen 6 stage 1, but it turned out to be an FP 700. At least, that's my conclusion based on the fact that the warranty is through ford. I now am wondering whether it's actually a gen 6 unit. How can you...
Hi all,
I noticed something today that jarred me. My 2025 ram truck (yes, the one I'm lemon lawing) is 2 whole trim levels below the top. Even so, it stickers for ALMOST 3 GRAND MORE THAN A NEW BASE CORVETTE. This is absolutely bonkers. Ford and gm are just as bad. I guess the...
Hi all,
Title is self explanatory, if I buy a 2024 xl can I have ford branded remote start added to it? I'd like to have that feature, but I don't want any aftermarket modifications to the wiring if I can avoid it. In fact, I'd probably just not get it (the remote start setup, not the...
Hi all,
Got an axle question here. If I end up buying a rcsb 4x4 f150 I will get an e locker axle by default-no other option. Will this thing automatically lock if tire spin happens, or will it sit there and let you blaze the right tire forever? I'm hoping it's automatic and...
