Obligatory Project Farm video about those dusters. He's in TX though so no snow removal tests.

Me? I'm just thinking that the one emergency lever under the steering wheel not only mechanically disengages the parking brake, it also puts the transmission in neutral. Just wondering if the transmission is actually rebuilt perfectly, but maybe this one mechanism isn't lined up where it should...

Dumb suggestion maybe, but did you check the emergency parking brake release system? Disengages the transmission.

I'm sorry, please enlighten this naive native Texan - the truck hibernates while you switch to, what? A Subaru? Or maybe a beater that is sacrificial to the road salt? Genuinely curious, and curious how common that is. Edit: My manners! Your truck and the seat swap look awesome.

I custom ordered my '21 and got the Ford-installed ones from the factory. Happy I did, but was kind of strange to have a completely bone stock, 13 total miles truck have the tires rub on the wheel liners when the steering wheel is fully cocked to the left or right. I only notice it when backing...

Of all the things ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are good at, math is surprisingly not one of them (yet). I dunno if it's just an interpretation thing or what but I'd try Wolfram Alpha over any current gen AI tool for anything above third grade math. This was me asking Gemini in May 2025. It was...

Only happens if Devo - Whip It is playing on the radio at the time.

Oh my... How did the gorilla feel about this?

That fuse seating issue was a problem for at least the 2021 job 1 trucks, nearly all of my small fuses in the kick panel were just barely seated. Worth checking the fuses under the hood and in the kick panel just to make sure they're all pushed in securely. You would expect more intermittent...

Anecdotally no, I have a few chips a couple mm across on the hood where the paint is just gone. Would there be more without the coating? Unsure. Would clear bra have helped for chips there? Probably. Or that thicker, self healing vinyl stuff.

Mmmm I love the sound, I wish they were a little bit louder - but not "oh that sounded expensive" loud. Literally one of the reasons I bought this truck and not a Tundra or Tacoma (and now they have turbos too!).

I've always liked Discount Tire but was disappointed they're trying to upsell on lug nuts now. Just got new tires a couple weeks ago and they had display lug nuts at the counter, I declined, and then when the tech was working on the truck he also called and said I should replace my lug nuts...

Better yet, a dozen vinyl wraps - when it gets dirty, just peel off the outer layer :LOL: But seriously, it's a really big vehicle and definitely takes longer to hand wash than a sedan. Carpro Lift snow foam (diluted!) can help before a pressure washing. I did the ceramic coating when it was new...

Dealer markup on parts plus installation would definitely hit $4K https://www.ford.com/product/lamp-p4000011840 https://www.ford.com/product/lamp-p4000018437

Also take the battery out. I have a second key hidden since I got the truck and a year later I needed to use it, but the battery was dead (still works if you put it in the slot under the cup holder with a dead battery). So now I have a battery on subscribe and save, once a year I put that new...

I'm still looking at replacing the front and rear bumpers with some heavy steel ones. Just want some mass in the impact area to lessen the risk of my own frame damage, and I'm ok with the MPG hit. After a certain speed collision though, it's not going to matter.

And only seems to be just a short window on 2022 models. "Approximately 16,543 2022 Ford F-150 trucks built between March 11, 2022, and July 23, 2022. "

At least it's not like BMW where the headlight assembly gets replaced but won't function until the car is hooked up to a diag machine and programmed to work with that new module.

Ditto! And I really love these stock headlights! I'm weighing options - keep living with it, research swapping to dynamic projectors (this actually seems to be the cheapest, don't know if they are plug and play), get Morimotos, or attempt my own repair. Replacement identical lights are ~$2500...
