Late 2023 and newer take 433MHz while early 2023 and older take 315MHz.

I've changed wheels a couple times now on my truck, using both OEM and aftermarket sensors. Each time the truck picked up the new set without having to do anything other than drive it. The longest I've ever seen it take a vehicle in general to pick up new sensors is around 20 miles at speeds...

MF200 -- What is this? A snowblower for ants?!?

Has your truck received this OTA update? It may help as well: Priority Update - Power Efficiency 09/17/2025 Vehicle Communication This update improves background communication for your vehicle, helping to reduce battery drain. BCMC-25.13.06 You can check here using the same login info as...

Mine also consistently happens if I'm sitting in the truck for a while before starting it. Both your scenarios make sense to me as either low battery or lack of user input could put the truck into a sort of sleep mode. To me the harshness of this chime sure sounds like the truck grouchily...

I can see why they discourage this. It is important to be careful to avoid damaging the diff cover. I always make sure that the round rubber pad is the only thing contacting the diff housing and that no part of the steel cup is touching the diff cover. Different floor jacks could be more or...

+1 for under the rear diff to get the back up. Then I do one side at a time for the front. I only put enough mileage on my tires to have to rotate them once a year, which I do when I swap from summer to winter tires and back. This saves from needing to get the whole truck in the air. If I...

Very cool and very surprising news. Looks like they also plan to keep the turbomax 4cyl and the 3.0 diesel as of now.

I think this is the question I would ask the service manager before deciding whether to have them do the work or find another dealer. Only thing I could think of would be concealed damage caused by the previous owner or someone else who would have worked on it but how unlikely is that?

Could be. Still seems odd though. I've heard people mention lag with the Ram 3.0's but don't remember anyone complaining about the Ford 3.5's. I thought the throttle response and low end torque were fantastic in my 2019 3.5. Also doesn't look like peak torque increased?

Any idea why they made this change? Smaller turbos generally aren't any less expensive so I can't imagine they did it to cut costs.

That definitely solves the clearance issue and they'll be nice and lightweight. No experience with them personally, I wonder how the traction with socks compares to a dedicated winter tire?

Whichever option you go with, just make sure that you have clearance for the chains between the front upper control arm and the inner tire sidewall. This is likely part of the reason Ford only recommends using chains on the rear axle. Generally cable chains require less clearance but I've...

This is a good reminder that fob batteries can go bad in 2-3 years whether being used or not. Also your trick to save money and not waste batteries reminds me of someone I know who takes frugality to the extreme by only purchasing one wiper blade a year for the driver side while last year's new...

I like this idea. Even if the dead fob slot doesn't work, a battery to put in your key fob is a whole lot easier to source than a new programmed fob.

The auto 4wd would be mine also, or even make it an option for every trim and configuration.

A set of recovery boards may be just the ticket for wet grass and a whole lot cheaper/easier than a LS. Plus then you can mount them on the side of your rig and everyone will know that you "adventure"

Thanks for the in depth breakdown. I've seen tons of brake cables weaved through the safety chains and never stopped to think about it being a bad idea. I noticed the setup in your Good example only appears to have one safety chain and it led me down an internet rabbit hole where I learned...

I like the leveling method you're planning, definitely unique among all the lowered and lifted RCSB's. Should make for a real nice ride height also. Looks great so far!

Yep, those will work. Only complaint I've heard about the amazon brands is the finishes not holding up the best, but given you're in TX, they probably won't see a lot of road salt or corrosion.
