Now, on my current KR, the onboard scales are apparently not reliable anymore after you level the truck. This is mostly anecdotal, as I never use them. Bluecruise, etc., also works fine in my KR on a 2" level and 34"s.
It’s actually Avalanche grey but sun was bright that day and looks more white. That color always seems to change in different lightings. I took a sledge to the crash bars and was able to get about 1/2 clearance so they barely touch at full lock not enough to justify hacking the off. I did have to cut some plastic off the corners of the valence, and it’s real close to the edge of the bumper but doesn’t touch.
I'm also fresh outta the Toyota camp with my '22 and agree with you about how different the discussions and mods are in general over here. Pucks aren't even a thought where we come from unless you're cheap! And if you can afford an F150 who wants to cheap out on suspension upgrades?!?! It seems like folks are getting plenty of positive caster without UCA's, even in the plus 4 or 5 degree range. Good questions!
While I agree, I’ve searched for days, months on all kinds of threads and websites and didn’t find much on the powerboost. I chose the cheap route, I’m a young dad of 3 girls so my pockets aren’t that deep lol ? I use my truck on my days off and hunt, fish ect I didn’t see the point in spending a ridiculous amount for the type of look I wanted to achieve. Level kit with 35’s just looks to be the sweet spot for me on these f150’s. I do wish there were better alternatives that aren’t outrageously priced.
Fact is most of the aftermarket strut options from the 15+ have more spring rate than is needed -- far surpassing the factory PB/PS motors that share the same front springs. Pucks aren't a big deal and don't drastically alter the suspension anymore than any of the strut offerings do. They literally both do the same thing --- increase the distance between the shock tower and the LCA. Very few people on this board have anything more than glorified pavement princesses. My truck is 98% pavement princess. Fact is 145-157" wheel base w/ an 80" width will never be a trail beast.
Hopefully it was just a battery issue. Truck didn't have any pending updates which is surprising given just how many have been rolling out in FDRS the last few months. 23s were plagued with issues but a lot of OTAs really quieted down the reports. Ford really needs to in-house more modules and use them across the fleet to get full economies of scale. They've got over a dozen different suppliers for each of the electronics modules and have to get the code from the supplier and then validate it. At least on the EV front they're starting to in-house much more -- an overdue move.
I’m hoping so too, no issues since I got it back. Got a bit of a drive down to Fresno from Sacramento next week so we will see how she does. I will admit when you sent me the fault history from that prior Wednesday I was absolutely pissed…I’m still not sure if I should just see how it does for the next few months or demand a buy back. Anyways that’s for the other thread lol.
