Are you saying you can see digital / numeric oil pressure values now? Or did you not even have the no-numbers 'analog' oil pressure (and trans temp) gauge on the IPC?

Just seeking clarification, TIA.

(I have digital / numeric tranny & engine temp values via FORScan tweak, but not for oil pressure)


No, the update turned on the middle pair (identified as left and right). This is my first “modern” truck and I hadn’t had a chance to play with it before it broke twice in the first two weeks of ownership.

When they updated one of the modules, it turned them on and I had no clue it was an option

HA! I just took it for granted that he had the gauges and now he can see the trans temp/oil pressure numbers now. Maybe he did not even have the gauges before?
I assumed nothing ;)

Thanks for the clarification - I was gonna be very surprised if you had gotten numeric oil pressure display, but not the case, no worries!

First time I've ever paid for the service, in deference to summer heat and my aging arthritic shoulders I had the young guys at the local detail shop treat the Lariat to a (needed) clay-bar and wax this morning.

Made the appointment last week, I was the first customer at their new fixed-base location (they were formerly a strictly mobile operation).

Very happy with the results, this olde phart thinks outsourcing could become a habit! ;)

After installing the 2.38" lift spacers in the front in 2022, my camper (5,500 lbs.) gave the truck a little rear sag. so yesterday i installed rear riser blocks .75" over stock ones. (both from Stage 3 Motorsports)
went smooth and easy, and still looks pretty level, but should keep the rear up better when towing.
ps: love this aluminum 3 ton jack and 6 ton jack stands.

Update: the rear lift blocks did not really solve the squat issue :-( but it was a good wknd away. I still don't like how this truck, tows this camper, especially on any kind of bumpy or wavy road. I love my truck and the powerboost, however... i either need an F250 or a smaller camper.

Thats a pity. With that said a smaller camper would be easier all around and maybe safer too.

If you only visit places that have electric hookup then giving up the PB may not be as big issue, but I would hate to lose that PB if you do any traveling at all.

For what it is worth when we were kids (stone age) we went camping every vacation in only a pop up. We would have slept on the dirt and that would have been fine with us. This is the one situation where size may not be everything. :)

That is a nasty squat. What do the CAT scales show for all three axles ?
