Follow up on changing oil on a 2022 Ford-F 150. I have to apologize for saying my skid plate doesn’t say “don’t remove bolts for oil change” in fact it does. It took me a while of searching but there it is in tiny letters by each of the bolts holding the skid plate on. So I talked to a couple of...

Ford dealers are in pretty sorry shape when customers don’t trust them to do a simple oil change.

Do you trust your dealer to change your oil? I just had the oil change from hell at my local dealer. Scheduled an appointment on the Ford app. I received 3 text reminders of my appointment. I show up and the service manager has no record of an appointment. Rescheduled directly with him. Go back...

One of the reasons I purchased my 22 F-150 (and paid a ridiculous price) was the app and its many great features. The theft protection feature letting you know when a door was opened was one l really liked. Now two years later the app has been stripped of all its security features and is now...

My problems with the satellite signals for Sirius and Nav GPS after the latest update has been resolved with a new APIM. I was pleasantly surprised….I really thought it was a software issue. I’m wondering if Ford got a batch of defective APIMs when my “22” was built at the height of the chip...

I will be very interested in hearing what the fix is if and when they figure it out. I just wish I could get a straight answer out of Ford.

Back to the dealer for two more days of trying to get the GPS and Sirius signal. Couldn’t fix it so now the Ford repair “Flow” chart says replace the APIM. Here we go throwing parts at it hoping something sticks. As this is warranty work I don’t have any choice but to go with what Ford...

Thanks everyone for the input. I feel better going to the dealership with some ideas that may solve the problem. Ford is obviously not capable of managing the complexity of the technology in the trucks they are pushing out the door. It seems if you own one of them you need to have the scan tools...

I already warned them not to start throwing parts at it hoping something sticks.

Snakebitten thanks for the information. After researching the problems I have, it seems likely that somehow I received an OTA update ment for the Ford lightning. In late April I started getting messages on FordPass that said something about my truck and charging it at a nearby E charge station...

Day three in the quest to get OTA update to work. (Really started 3 weeks ago) The dealership said they had finally successfully downloaded 4.2.1. Great but after picking it up I realized I no longer receive Sirius Xm or a GPS signal for the onboard nav. Back on the phone to the dealer and Ford...

Update…. day two at the dealership. Day one was spent with the tech trying to get the truck to accept an update. A prediction of a one hour job proved inaccurate. At 5 they gave up and want the truck for another day to as the service manager put it “play with it some more”. They did find one...

My truck is sitting at the dealership while they try to figure out why a May 3rd OTA update refuses to download and update the system. Prior to that date I was getting updates with no problem. I have been calling Fords tech support for two weeks. The folks I talk to are very nice and try to be...

Autozone will read the codes and give you a hard copy of the results. Its a free service. Just need to limp down to the nearest one. I believe all the major car parts stores have that service as well.

I installed one from Amazon. Cost a little over 20 bucks with matt finish. Works great. Fingerprints are definitely reduced as well as glare. Reasonably easy to install. The directions are fun to read.

Thanks I will send you the information.

Has anyone else been disappointed by the poor quality of temperature control in their new 150?? My new F-150 XLT auto climate control is the poorest regulating auto system I have used. I’m not sure if my truck has a problem or if it is just a poorly designed system. I am constantly having to...

I tow a small kayak trailer behind my 2022 XLT. It really is nice to be able to turn on the tailgate camera and check it while on the move. Problem is there is a message “full view not available “ right in the middle of the screen which blocks a good portion of the trailer. Anyone know how to...
