Yo, on the '24 F-150 with the 5.0, they’re still rocking that plastic twist drain plug. Looks like they haven’t switched back to the metal threaded one yet. So, yeah, you’re stuck with that plastic plug for now. Might want to keep a drain plug tool handy or consider a metal replacement if...

Here’s the deal: the 2023 (and likely 2024) F150s have a different ECU setup, and it’s been a tough nut to crack. Even if you toss a 2022 ECU in there, you’re probably looking at a no-go for tuning. The systems are different enough that it’s not just a plug-and-play situation. Tuning’s tightly...

with that 22 PowerBoost, the whistling noise you're hearing under load, especially when towing or climbing, sounds like it could be the turbo wastegate. It's a common thing, nothing to freak out about unless it gets worse. If it's just annoying and not affecting performance, you're probably...
