  1. wtf??? Customer Satisfaction Program 25B08

    Have had more than a passing interest in moonroof problems based on issues I had with a different brand (Honda). Looking at this one (25B08), once I found the full info packet, I don’t understand your dealer’s response. MC-11019968-0001.pdf Sometimes CSP info will clarify that if the customer...
  2. Are the following service recommendations valid?

    Don't think that service is needed at 36k miles - but I thought a '22 Powerboost does have a throttle body. HL3Z-9E926-A - Throttle Body 2017-2025 Ford | Ford Parts Center
  3. Dealer oil change from hell

    Getting away a bit from the original OP question on skid plates, I'm gonna take a bit of the other side of the argument on who should do your oil/filter changes (dealer vs. self): It depends on your physical condition. I'm old, decrepit, and large (6'4", 230 lb). I still (reluctantly) change my...
  4. Supercrew longbed 157 Popularity

    Did a very quick & dirty check on Autotrader - Nationwide from my zip code, both 2024 and 2025 new 157" WB models of any trim level/both 2wd and 4WD - showed 1524 (gassers 781, Powerboost 743). Had a 2016 157" WB, great highway cruiser, parking it in cities a different story.
  5. Recall for 2021-2022 2.7L - Broken Intake Valve

    I’ve followed this recall with some interest as my son-in-law has a ’21 (but ended up being outside the build date range), and my previously owned ’18 with the 2.7EB made with Silchrome-Lite intakes (which weren’t affected for whatever manufacturing reasons). Anyway all I’ve found is the...
  6. Anyone change their own oil?

    I would hazard a guess (purely a WAG, not even a SWAG) that at least 50% of forum members here change their own oil/filter. Maybe a much higher percentage. Different reasons for why that is. I'm old and decrepit and large/tall, would love for my local dealer to do this work for the $80 or more...
  7. Official: Scout EV Pickup & SUV debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    As the article states, it's supposedly going to be a NA (not turbo) 4-banger. Speculation is maybe a NA version of either VW's EA211 1.5L engine (VW Taos) or maybe latest Gen EA888 2.0L engine. We'll see.
  8. EPA changes and rule rollbacks

    Yep. Administrative law is BIG..............couple thousand ALJ's, 10,000 AJ's and 'non-ALJ adjudicators'........... The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) reported 1,931 administrative law judges working for federal agencies as of March 2017, the most recent year for which comprehensive...
  9. EPA changes and rule rollbacks

    This is well put. I really hope most people are OK with the concept/original intent of the EPA but abhor what the actual workings of the EPA have become. The EPA is just one part of the amorphous blob called the administrative state (or 4th branch of government or shadow government or whatever...
  10. Oil reminder at 3,500 miles normal?

    "Normal" is relative only to your driving regimen. In my 2012 F250 my oil life monitor once told me after ~2500 miles I needed to change the oil. But that was after being stuck in an epic I-10 traffic jam between Houston and Beaumont in August, 6+ hours of engine idling and running the A/C in...
  11. Needle in a haystack... would you keep searching?

    (Yawn) Almost too easy. Nationwide search, 5 with the 6.5' bed and XLT Sport Appearance Pkg. Used Ford F150 XLT for Sale in Covington, LA - Autotrader
  12. CAFE standards dropped with new EPA

    Regards where CAFE standards will land - no idea. Regards new (March/April 2024) EPA Final Rule Multi-Pollutant Emission Standards for Model Years 2027 and Later Light-Duty and Medium-Duty Vehicles (in the Federal Register here 2024-06214.pdf ) and effect on tuners, the potential biggest...
  13. Extended Range EREV - Is Ford About to Embrace?

    I hope Ford does an EREV in the nominal 1/2 ton (and smaller - Ranger/Maverick?) truck models. The year 2027 looks to be a crowded space for supposed EREV truck introduction - Ram as you note, the new Scout, Hyundai (reportedly a new small truck, not an EREV Santa Cruz). Price will as usual be a...
  14. 2024 RCLB (Long Bed) 5.0L Carbonized Gray OEM+ Lariat Build

    Nice looking truck, congrats. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Other than the OEM bed lighting and carpet/mats none of the other stuff trips my trigger. I am a no-chrome-steel-wheels guy, always function over form/substance over style, beautiful in its plainness.
  15. Mixing Full Synthetic Motor Oils

    Interesting. Ran into a similar situation on the last OC I did on my '18 2.7EB before selling it - ordered 6 qts of Mobil1 Extended Performance 5w-30 online, the 5 qt. jug was as ordered but the 1 qt bottle was mistakenly the 'high mileage' product (I bit the bullet and bought a qt. of the...
  16. Features you WISH were on an F150

    (1) A naturally aspirated V6 engine choice (yes I miss the 3.3L workhorse that fit my limited power and mpg wants/needs). (2) In the "maybe someday in next 4-5 years" category - a sub-$60k Lightning with ICE range-extender. (3) In the "I'd really like it but will never happen" category - a RCSB...
  17. Ford cash if anyone needs

    Won't work, non-transferable outside immediate household.
  18. Official: Scout EV Pickup & SUV debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    1. From their press release: The Scout Terra (the truck one) will feature a 5.5-foot pickup bed which offers two 120V power outlets and one 240V power outlet—power for heavy-duty tools at a jobsite or to keep your home appliances running during an outage. 2. The WAG is (supposedly from a Scout...
  19. Big Changes Potentially On The Way For Ford Dealers In 2025 (per Ford Authority)

    I don't know what to think of the Ford Authority article, nor of Ford for that matter. I opened it, read what Jennifer Kolstad said (my WTF moment for the day, basically incomprehensible to me), had to websearch Jennifer Kolstad (global design and brand director at Ford Motor Company), read a...
  20. Recall for 2021-2022 2.7L - Broken Intake Valve

    The ’21-’22 Nano engine intake valve recall is a bit strange. We’ll probably never know all the gory details. In amongst the 63 documents from Ford and Eaton in the NHTSA Investigation site there is the March 2023 Ford Root Cause (1402 pages, 99.9% redacted) and Nov/Dec 2022 supplier (Eaton)...
