Update: dealer "re-applied" the software update this morning and all working again. Yikes, hope the fix "takes" this time. :-)

I am changing out my main panel to accomplish this. You need to separate your neutrals and grounds on all circuits run to the panel, i.e. make the panel into a common "subpanel." This also implies that your neutral/ground bond is at the service entrance. Or you can cheat like many do and just...

Thought I would get caught up on my recalls the other day. One of them was recall campaign 24C30 "collision parking lights may flicker" Went to drive somewhere last night and hit the high beams and...darkness. All headlights gone. No CEL or other error. Tried restarting vehicle, came back...

I get Pennzoil Ultra Platinum from walmart.com; can't find it stocked locally. And I order these things by the case from Amazon:

After all this time, he found me. :)

Because 99.99% of people are reasonable and upstanding. It's the .01% of people that are just f'n weird. I wrote an article for a national magazine a number of years ago, and somehow this random dude gets my phone number and would call me at odd times to debate me. Was interesting to talk to at...

You want to create small "wins" to get started. Your confidence will increase as you learn how to: connect your laptop to the truck and get the FORScan app to talk to it perform your first backup and save those files to non-disruptive storage make your first config edit. I have only made a...

I don't view electric miles as "bonus" miles that the ICE didn't have to spin. Sure, perhaps the crank didn't spin as much over the length of a trip, however the constant start/stop cycle that the ICE goes through certainly must contribute to the amount of dilution that I see from my oil...

My 22 PB/3.5L had about 30k on it when I noticed the primary tank was slightly below the "min" line. No leaks anywhere and no reason to suspect head gasket. Just topped it up and will keep an eye on the level. Apparently this is very common.

Was convinced that I wanted one of the new Tundras back in late 2021. A visit to the dealership changed that, they could not have been more indifferent. Visited the Ford dealer a few days later, spent the longest five months of my life waiting on my build, and almost three years and 34k miles...

Myself? It's a truck, not a lambo garage queen. If the truck is exactly what you want, and you got a good deal on it, then enjoy the ride. Too many people looking for the absolute perfect specimen, and the first time you get a rock chip in the hood you'll be inconsolable. My truck got hit by...

22 XLT PB with 34k, owned since new. No issues other than a soft 12V battery which was changed last year. Probably my best automotive purchase ever.

Look at the trends in today's society. You can't find a customer service "person" to take your phone call. Presione uno para español There is continual pressure to improve margins. Ford (as a company) has a huge financial ball and chain with pension plans and labor costs. Hands-on skills are...

I think that you have to put a price on your time. You can probably wear them out and get them to replace the battery, but how long will this take and how much of your free time will you burn? Probably a day or two at the shop, the driving back and forth, etc. You might incur as much as 50...

I'm testing out a new OBD2 scanner and want to create the simplest, most non-destructive way to generate a CEL/fault code. I was thinking of unplugging the Mass Airflow Sensor until I dug through a few threads and found out that we don't have one. I've unplugged the "pedestrian sounder" to...

I think several of us have noticed the same thing, there are some enormous threads on this topic in this forum. So YES, we've seen this a lot, in many cases well before three years. My chosen replacement was from Batteries Plus and cost about $350 after discount and core refund. Others have gone...

Another variation on the theme for this thread:

This is the battery that I went with about a year ago on my '22 and has been rock solid.

Don't overthink it. I have used Blackstone and they're fine. What is it that we need to know? Trends against a baseline. See how your engine measures over time. I think that any of these labs will give you enough information to determine 1) presence or absence of wear metals, and 2) how the...

I just topped mine up at 31K using the yellow premix. It turns orange with use.
