Thought I would get caught up on my recalls the other day. One of them was recall campaign 24C30 "collision parking lights may flicker" Went to drive somewhere last night and hit the high beams and...darkness. All headlights gone. No CEL or other error. Tried restarting vehicle, came back...

I'm testing out a new OBD2 scanner and want to create the simplest, most non-destructive way to generate a CEL/fault code. I was thinking of unplugging the Mass Airflow Sensor until I dug through a few threads and found out that we don't have one. I've unplugged the "pedestrian sounder" to...

Planning to do front/rear diff and transfer case oil change. Researching this project was way more involved than I expected due to the huge amount of variability in trim levels/options. I have a plain old XLT PowerBoost with no 4A "shift on the fly." Can I assume that I do NOT want to add the...

I would not wish this on anyone. I just heard about this, hopefully this is not redundant news in this forum: https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a60992514/toyota-tundra-lexus-lx-engine-recall/ Apparently there was "debris" left in the engine on assembly and it's eating the main bearings, among...

Hey all, I just got an OBD2 scanner to play with. What would you suggest doing to the drivetrain to "create" a check engine light that I could easily clear, and would be non-destructive? I was thinking about unplugging an O2 sensor, but open to reasonable suggestions. Thanks

I just got my latest Blackstone report back with my first Amsoil Signature drain. I wanted to compare it vs. the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum that I've run for a few cycles. I decided on these two oil brands because they were the winner & runner up in the Project Farm trials from a couple of years...

I have two recalls that I needed to have done to my 22XLT PB, and damned if my dealer didn't call me up and offer to have their mobile service van do it. Cool!

(this is not mine, BTW, just copying this from a reddit post but OMG...)

A few weeks back we had a little storm blow through and a tree branch made a glancing blow to my rear door. I went through the standard route of insurance agent -> visit body shop to get estimate. This has started a 6 week ordeal, because the body shop advised me to find a good "Paintless Dent...

I have the OBD Link MX+ Bluetooth dongle. Can I... Connect to this with any bluetooth-enabled device running FORScan? Use the Android version of FORScan to connect to this? Looking to dip my toes into this world and need to know if I need to invest in the cable/connector with a USB...

If you've changed your own oil on the 3.5L engine you know how much of a PITA it is to get to the oil filter and spin it off. The worst part is that it's a two-hand operation since the filter is tucked so far back there, so you're on your back and craning your neck to get your arms back in there...

I just hit 15k on my 22 XLT PB. I think this is the One. I think I'll keep it a long time. I usually get bored with vehicles and change them with the weather but occasionally I'll get a good one that I keep for a long time. Did that with my 99 Accord V6 and 07 Odyssey. This 150 is a keeper. I...

I'm installing aftermarket grill lights which are meant to be on when my driving lights are on. I don't have a plug/play harness so I have to pick off power from somewhere under the hood. Any suggestions where I can get a switched +12V signal that doesn't require me to remove half of the engine...

I have been following all of the different skid plate threads. I finally broke down and bought a Talons Garage F-150 PowerBoost Skid Plate to protect my cats. I don't want to get into the differences between the different vendor solutions; what I do want to bring up that I've not heard anyone...

Love my XLT, buuuuut....the front end looks very blah. Giving the tow hooks a splash of color might be the ticket. (and I've learned from reading the JC Whitney catalog that it would add mpg) I actually think that the Tremor orange would be perfect. Q1) how would I go about finding the...

Does anyone know if the XLT badge includes fog lights? I have the fog light "lens" in my lower front bumper but I have not been able to locate the switch to turn them on, so I'm left to believe that they don't come stock. Can anyone confirm? thanks

Had a recent "discussion" online with someone asking me if the "piped-in engine noise was distracting?" Fake engine noise piped into the cabin? I knew they were doing this with the new Tundras, but not the PB. I vigorously denied it. My PowerBoost is dead quiet at speed even with the ICE...

Hi all…first Check Engine Light popped up last night…i am off to Autozone shortly to have them pull the code and start on that process. It’s time to step up my diagnostics game….if i run an app like Torque on my phone, what OBD2 bluetooth dongle would you recommend? There are hundreds on Amazon...

Anyone added a Fumoto Oil Drain Valve to their 3.5L yet? I think I've found the correct number (F137N) but having difficulty cross-referencing it on Amazon. Thanks

My 22 XLT PB 6.5' F-150 was delivered on 4/27; since then I've put about 800 miles on it. Did I make the right choice with this truck? Here are my impressions: Ride: driving this thing feels very much like driving one of those old "land yachts" like a Cadillac Fleetwood or Lincoln Continental...
