  1. How to speed up Car Washing?

    I used to be a "2 bucket guy", but this video changed how I wash cars/trucks...
  2. Gas funnel

    When I asked this question a few months ago I was derided for not reading the almost 800 page owners manual to obtain this information.
  3. Post Your Transmission Experience

    37,000 Miles on my 2023 3.5L Ecoboost FX4. Transmission Fluid changed? Not yet, plan to at 50k miles. Issues Encountered: None.
  4. 2023 F-150 - adding fuel additive - PITA!

    This is my first F-150 so I didn't know I had to "learn" how to operate the fuel filler neck. Never had to "learn" that before. But thanks for your help!
  5. 2023 F-150 - adding fuel additive - PITA!

    Techron is the additive I tried to add. I shoved the Techron into the filler neck - no bueno. You are right, I have not read the owners manual for this vehicle. I've never read any car owners manual in my 58 years of existence. But I appreciate you highlighting that a fuel funnel is inside...
  6. 2023 F-150 - adding fuel additive - PITA!

    A "Motor Oil Geek" YouTube video convinced me to add a fuel additive (Chevron) to my 2023 F-150 3.5L Ecoboost. I inserted the fuel additive bottle filler neck into the fuel filler neck, and the only thing that happened was fuel additive spilled out around the filler neck and ran onto the...
  7. Low Fuel Light - what's in the tank?

    I have a 2023 3.5L Ecoboost FX4 SuperCrew with 36 gal tank. On a couple of occasions I've gotten a low fuel light with message saying "you have 50 miles to empty". My average MPG is roughly 20mpg, so I presume the tank has about 2.5 gallons left at that point. When I go to fuel up, I expect...
  8. Anyone change their own oil?

    Great info, thanks! I recently bought a Ford ESP for my truck (10yr/120kmiles). If I change the oil myself, and later have to file a claim on the ESP, will the dealer give me grief because there is no computerized record of the oil change? (I presume Grease Monkey and other outlets enter...
  9. Anyone change their own oil?

    I've been using Grease Monkey for oil changes every 5k miles; full synth oil change runs around $120. This cost, and the oil threads I've seen here, made me wonder how many truck owners change their own oil. Do you change your own oil?
  10. 10R80 - frequent fluid changes to help prevent problems?

    I have a 2023 F-150 Lariat FX4 Supercrew with 3.5L Ecoboost.. The truck has 35k miles and, the H6 battery issue notwithstanding, the truck has been great. This is my first F-150 and i really like the truck. I understand my truck has the dreaded 10R80 transmission, which I've read a lot of...
  11. If leveling is so great, why doesn't Ford do it?

    I'm new to trucks, my 2023 Lariat FX4 supercrew with short bed is my first truck. I've noticed the rake of my truck and would prefer the truck look level, which is why I've read through this thread. Now I have some questions... - what is RCSB? - what are the blocks in the rear that people remove?
  12. HD Radio sounds better than Apple CarPlay

    My Android Auto (wireless) experience has been quite good. Sometimes Google Maps acts weird but it eventually comes back. Can't compare sound quality to HD Radio since I never listen to it, didn't know it was available in the truck. I stream Spotify all the time and its audio quality is at...
  13. Washing/Detailing: DIY or Pros?

    I'm glad I come across this thread. Since it takes me 2 hours to clean my 2023 Lariat Supercrew with foam cannon and 2 bucket method, I opted for a monthly subscription to a local car wash. It is super convenient but now I have "spider webs" all over the paint, and they never do as good a job...
  14. Ford Protect - Flood vs Granger

    I have a 2023 F-150 Lariat FX4 and I drive about 20k miles/yr. Using the helpful info I got from this forum I just purchased a 6 yr / 125k mile PremiumCare Protect Plan, with lighting add-on and $100 deductible, from Flood Ford. I had never even heard of this dealer, or Granger, before...
  15. How to secure a gas can in the truck bed?

    Can you offer a recommendation? I see a gazillion kinds on Amazon...
  16. How to secure a gas can in the truck bed?

    I'm not familiar with those. What do they look like? An Amazon search for "pull-tite style straps with the spring loaded retainer" yielded a wide variety of options.
  17. How to secure a gas can in the truck bed?

    I often need to buy gas for lawn mowers, motorcycles, etc, and am wondering about how to secure this gas can in the truck bed. I've tried bungie cords through the gas can handle, but invariably the can ends up sideways or tipped over. Any proven suggestions?
  18. Memory settings for seats, mirrors and steering wheel

    Interstate H8 AGM Battery from Costco, $179.99. If you aren't a Costco member, many forum members have gotten great H8 batteries from Walmart for the same price.
  19. Memory settings for seats, mirrors and steering wheel

    I wonder if this is related to the FoMoCo H6 AGM battery issue? I was having the same behavior and, now that I've upgraded to a non-FoMoCo H8 AGM battery, I'll be looking to see if things change.
  20. Installed H8 AGM battery; my truck is transformed

    After observing the same app notifications and truck behavior as noted above, this thread propelled me to replace the H6 stocker in my '23 F-150 Lariat FX4 (3.5L Ecoboost) with an H8 AGM from Costco ($179.99). Reset the BMS and all seems well. I've also ordered the 4DTech start/stop...
