  1. Ford Recalls 103K F-150 Over Damaged Axle Bolts

    Had the recall completed this afternoon; about 3 hours.
  2. F150 Rear Axle Recall

    Dealer called me and said that they have the parts to do the recall work. Scheduled for a couple of weeks from now. Worried that I will drop off my truck, then after a few days, call and ask what is going on? They will say that they do not have the parts and do not know when they will get...
  3. Electronic sway control...intended usage case?

    I tow a 26' camper that weighs a bit under 6k pounds. An approaching semi-truck can cause a slight nudge when the high pressure air in front of the tractor hits the rear of camper. That is easily handled through normal steering; no sway produced. I have a weight distribution hitch that is...
  4. Easiest way to fill oil per specifications (7.8 qts)

    How many people could be 100% confident that when they pull the dipstick out that it shows that there is exactly 7.5, 7.8 or 8.0 quarts of oil in the pan?
  5. Collision Thread?

    Something that worries me about going to court: you might very well win your case and get a judgement against the other party. My understanding around here is that all that means is the other party now owes you money and they are not going to write a check on the way out of the court. Thus, it...
  6. Collision Thread?

    You said that you "went black." Concussion symptoms can be delayed. Watch for headaches and light sensitivity. Maybe check with your doctor. Yea, dealing with an accident that I think was the other driver's fault but they claim that I am at fault. So both insurance companies are haggling it...
  7. Weight distribution hitch

    That looks a bit rough. Also looks like it would not have built-in sway control features. I have a Fastway e2, trunnion bar WDH. I am happy with it in general, but there are other good options out there. This is an important item that should not be compromised on.
  8. Owner’s manual

    I might be able to get access to Adobe tools so I could then take the PDF file and edit out all the stuff that does not apply to me, such as the police-specific stuff, Raptor, no kids so all the child seat stuff, etc. Lot of other stuff I do not necessarily need. That might cut it down to 50...
  9. Test Drove New RAM Hurricane after 2.5 Years in Powerboost

    Do not understand how there can be such a range of experiences with Ford trannies. Yesterday, I towed my 26’ camper with my F-150 up and down hills, around tight turns, and the transmission was constantly changing gears. I never felt a thing. I was watching the display as the gears changed...
  10. F-Series trucks post best second quarter since 2019

    In the area I live in (central Ohio) I see twice as many RAM trucks as Ford, Chevy and Toyota trucks combined. I am definitely in the minority in my neighborhood.
  11. Test Drove New RAM Hurricane after 2.5 Years in Powerboost

    Engine & tranny seem pretty smooth in my 2024, 3.5 EcoBoost. Sounds like the RAM you drove was a non-hybrid so how does a non-hybrid Ford compare?
  12. Little good and bad things of our F150s

    I am very used to my Honda Civic which automatically locks the doors when I walk away from it. So I, by habit, just walk away from my F150 and forget to lock the doors. Wish it was easier to turn on or off auto stop. I previously had a Ranger with power fold mirrors. Have to fold passenger...
  13. Ford Recalls 103K F-150 Over Damaged Axle Bolts

    Since there was no work done, other than them driving my truck around their parking lot, no paperwork was generated and no survey will be sent. It is as if I never showed up.
  14. Ford Recalls 103K F-150 Over Damaged Axle Bolts

    I thought that I had an inspection this morning and the service tech agreed with that and said it would be about an hour. Three hours later, no it is a replacement and the service people thought that I was going to leave my truck with them for days, weeks, months while they tried to find the...
  15. Ford Recalls 103K F-150 Over Damaged Axle Bolts

    I have an appointment at the dealer for an inspection then if something is broken they will order the part(s). I assume the truck would have to live at the dealership until the part(s) come in and they fix it. Major inconvenience -- how will I get home? And I have a camping trip coming up...
  16. Slow Phone Charging

    I have a 2024 XLT and an iPhone 16 Pro. I use CarPlay via Bluetooth. Usually have Apple Maps and Pandora running. Phone discharges somewhat quickly and gets very warm doing that. The USB-C port under the big screen will at least keep the phone from discharging more and does charge it up if I...
  17. True Full Screen CarPlay

    I do not worry about it too much since some software updates change things so no use getting married to whatever is there today. Apple is exploring something called CarPlay Ultra that takes over all of the displays in the vehicle. Environmental and all other such controls have to be "owned by"...
  18. What are you guys getting for fuel economy?

    Mostly tow a camper that weighs around 5,200 to 5,300 pounds. 11 to 12 MPG depending on how many hills have to be negotiated. For casual driving, I use my Civic which is designed to get good milage; and it does.
  19. Service at Ford

    Around here, that is a common set of things places supposedly do. They usually offer some kind of sweet deal just to try to get you to be a future customer. Does not mean that you have to go back to them. Next time an oil change is due, see who else has a deal going on. Down side to that is...
  20. WDH Set up with levelled truck

    It sure looks like your rear is too heavy and the front is too light; this would not be as safe of a driving configuration as it should be. Is your truck nose high with the camper disconnected? I question whether the weight distribution setup is really correct. If you are nose high without a...
