Thank you everyone for the assistance. I did a 2.5 hour drive yesterday and can for sure say something(s) is/are definitely wrong. I can hear a noticeable creak and thump when braking or accelerating, so something definitely got loose or broke, but I've still been unsuccessful in finding a...
I took off the wheels. There is no evidence of oil at the end of the axles and the axle bolts are still there. If I turn one wheel, the other wheel turns like a normal open diff. I also tested the locking diff and both axles locked, both off the ground and in the driveway.
There was a...
For some reason I didn't notice that the whole left side is covered in a sticky oil.
At the minimum seems like I blew the strut, which certainly could be causing the issues in turns.
guess k should t be surprised that the shop never made a comment about that...
So that isn't something that would just show up on a normal 4 wheel alignment rack? If I measure from the front wheel to the back, it is like a half inch off on the left side versus right. I figured that would have to show up but now it sounds like this isn't something that would easily show...
Last week I had a unique situation where I needed to floor it back onto an Insterstate in a blind corner from a dead stop (don't ask the why). To do this I had to go up and over an sharp 8" tall ledge from dirt to pavement, with the pedal to the floor on the Powerboost. The rear end hopped...
Wanted to provide an update. I've got 5k more miles on the truck since the rebuild. No CEL / codes, but have to be honest that it just doesn't feel the same. The sense of urgency isn't there and an awkward pause has developed when flooring it, that never existed before.
But she keeps on...
Thanks folks. I got the truck back today from the dealer but they told me not to floor it or get into too much boost for the next 1000 miles....
Looks like all the turbo return lines were replaced along with the other stuff. Haven't got any DTC yet, haven't noticed any misfires, about 75...
Got my '24 F150 XLT Powerboost back in June 2024. Honestly, haven't been super thrilled with it overall for various reasons and I've been sort of worried about failures, although man, certainly fast as all hell.
Coming back from a couple thousand mile road trip at freeway speeds a few weeks...
I still need to lower the perches another 5-7mm. I still am getting a front top out on big bumps over 70mph if I'm loaded up in the rear, in select situations.
I will get the alignment checked. I think I can recapture some caster now.
Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I used an older, slightly different service manual for the procedure, but it had the exact same steps in terms of checking the angle on the ACC sensor.
That's why I was wondering if there were perhaps 2 sensors on the newer vehicles, because I checked...
Yes, I have no way to prove that the issue occurred prior to the level, but all the level did was exasperate the existing issue. And the issue doesn't occur with Bluecruise, only when in Adaptive Cruise Control mode with lane centering off.
This is why I'm hoping to find a solution I can...
2024 XLT Powerboost with Bluecruise. From the dealer, the adaptive cruise control would periodically lose the car in front while driving on a metal bridge. It will then downshift and accelerate super hard to try to catch the next vehicle, dangerously. I have not waited to see if it will stop...
I have a 2024 XLT Powerboost. Only thing it didn't have that I wanted was power folding mirrors and leather seats, and after a few thousand miles in the cloth seats, I'm not even sure I'll change the covers.
Thanks for posting this, it looks like a fun one to take the wife on. Solid drive from the Bay.
We got a surprise rain storm this last weekend up in the Trinity mountains as well. Made for some fun trails.
I did an 800 mile road trip last week with the new, much lowered rooftop tent and about 800 pounds of gear plus a second passenger.
However, I did this at the same time as the new tires and the level and wheel spacers.
I averaged 18.1mpg actual mileage after correction (haven't updated the...
I lowered the coil perches by 20mm. This lowered the fender to tire gap by about 40mm or so. The difference is NIGHT AND DAY. I did not think it would be so dramatic.
Did a 800 mile road trip this weekend and it was a dream, exactly what I was looking for. The Load Range C tires are also...
