No kidding, the service appointment was solely to do the recall work and nothing else. I was kind of befuddled...this dealership is new to me since we just moved here in June, so I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. The quick lane service for oil changes is very good, no...
Has anyone had any luck getting this recall work completed? I got a letter from Ford factory in October stating that parts were available. I called my local dealer to schedule the work. They came and picked up my truck, called me an hour later stating they did not have the parts. That was 42...
Doing oil analysis with every oil change can help you prevent a catastrophic failure, for example if you start to see wear metals that indicate main bearings are on the way out you can replace them before you shell out the motor and ruin the block. It’s a valuable tool…in my USAF days we did...
Since I retired I don't drive much any longer either. The only way to really know what's going on is to have your oil analyzed. Blackstone will send you the sample kit for free, and they have a nice quick draw pump so you can suck the sample from the dipstick tube. This makes it easy to pull...
I don’t have the adaptive cruise control…just trying to get the speed signs to display on the control panel or sync screen all the time instead of intermittently…
2023 F-150, XLT: Sometimes I see the speed sign on the dash and sometimes there is nothing. I pulled up the owners manual to adjust the tolerance and it gives the following instructions:
1. Press FEATURES on the touchsceen
2. Press DRIVER ASSISTANCE
3. Press SPEED LIMIT ASSIST (I do not...
I bought this, simple install behind the glove box, no tools needed. It remembers the state of the switch. So if you have it "off", shut the vehicle off and the start again if will automatically be "off", and vice versa if the switch is "on". This way if you ever find you need the function...
I have been getting this fault intermittently. When I plug in my Autel tablet I can extend and retract the air damn using the tool, so it is working. looks like there is a TSB to flash the software to correct the problem. Ford needs to get with the program and automatically push all the...
My truck came with them also, but I swapped them out with a set of Cooper Discoverer Stronghold ATs before the first snow...the Pirellis only had 6k miles on them and I gave them away...
Here are the install instructions...I think Ford has an engineering department who's sole purpose it to complicate everything so the shade tree mechanic has to bring his rig into the service department...
When I was a kid my dad used to take care of the vending machines at the McGard factory. I went with him on an over time service call and the foreman took us on a factory tour to show us how they were made, very cool, and high quality. To solve the swollen lug nut problem get a set of flip...
I installed a NOCO Genius 5 and plug in while I'm parked in my driveway. Since I retired, I only drive the truck 3-4 times a week, and short drives, so the battery never fully recovers...this fixed that.

Forscan is a pretty powerful tool you can download to a laptop and mini version for smart phone...here is the link. Read everything and be cautious, if you're not sure don't do it. Before I change anything I write down the current parameters, so if need be I can go back to the factory...
