Will level work with CCD and Blue cruise

[Snakebitten]

CCD has so much potential. It can be calibrated any way Ford chooses it to be.

But I think you will find that Ford has the damping dialed too soft. Especially in "Normal" mode. They should label it Buick mode.

Stock, I thought the ride was soft. With the lift, it rides like a truck. I like it and wouldn’t change it back.

Here’s a couple for ya!

Great looking set up. Can you let me know the offset on the wheels?

I leveled my truck and BC seemed fine, but then a few months later I added the larger tires, and it was unusable as the truck would hunt back and forth between the lane markers. I assumed with the laser sight now seeing further down the road that it saw the lane as wider.

Having access to an alignment bay wasn't a problem so I followed the procedure for readjusting (pop off passenger side plastic cover then adjust the torx head with an E6 tool using a 90' bubble adjuster). It was definitely off and required about 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise to get the bubble centered.

However, while better, it still was not really usable and still hunted/ bounced between the lane markers non-stop.

I since gave up on the bubble level or needing flat ground and have just been adjusting and retesting. I haven't yet found the point of diminishing returns. So far, the more I turn the screw in, the straighter the truck drives on BC and the automatic steering wheel adjustments get much more subtle. When I first added the tires for example, on straight freeway the top of the steering wheel would move back and forth about 1.5-2" as it swerved back and forth. Well now it just adjusts about 1/4" back and forth to stay centered while on straight road.

What I can tell you is if you just turn that screw clockwise about 1 full turn after a level kit, you will be very close and that's a good starting point. If the truck bounces left and right on a straight road turn the torx head clockwise.

I'll keep turning the screw in and see what happens, see if BC begins to shut off or what.

ON EDIT: I tested about half a dozen different sensor settings by turning the screw a bit back and forth. It definitely works better if you level the sensor, then turn in the torx screw about another half turn. If you go too far, it'll just start bouncing between the lane markers again. I've got mine where on straight highway the steering wheel is making micro-adjustments to stay centered, all less than 5mm. Other settings, including stock, the steering wheel would bounce about 25mm, even on straight road. My truck also, even when dead stock, used to sort of overshoot curves in the road, then over correct. Not anymore, just a fairly smooth graceful ark. Pretty pleased with it now.
