'23 Lariat PB, no issues so far except random squeak that ended up going away on its own. I love the truck. And it's fun as hell to drive since it's so quick.

I plan to do that. Our hvac is ancient and we’ll probably upgrade soon and go with a heat pump. I wonder if those draw less startup current.

Well, now for the last several days my truck has not made the squeak at all, after consistently making the noise for the first 1,500 or so miles of driving it. My wife drove it this weekend to tow horses, so maybe she accidentally fixed it. I don’t know what to make of it. I cancelled my...

How How do you use the steering wheel controls to initiate a brake hold? Never heard of that.

Mine is the exhaust exchange thing that has been discussed previously. It took some convincing, but the dealer is replacing it Tuesday. At first they said they didn’t hear it, then they said it’s normal. Then I told them to check that specific part and they agreed to replace it. Hopefully this...

For the 5 Star tune for a ‘23 I think you have to remove the PCM and send it to them to do something to. I could be wrong but that’s what I recall.

I think that’s right. And in that scenario the gfci still does its job, it just doesn’t provide equipment ground.

Has anyone encountered or heard about any warranty issues if you do a tune? I know you can revert back to original before taking the truck in, but I also heard the dealer can tell if you've flashed the memory.

Mine has been making the squeak since I got it (only 700 miles ago). I took it in this week and showed the service manager a video, and gave them the part name and number that people have been citing on the forums (exhaust heat exchanger valve or whatever). Manager said the tech couldn't hear...

I just got a ‘23, and apparently you have to drive to detroit to get the Livernois tune for a 23. That’s a haul from NC, but it would be a fun drive back. Does anyone have any real world experience with warranty issues? I paid for the extended warranty (seemed like a good deal at $1600) and...

It worked on me. I bought one of the last 2023s because I didn’t want to wait. They did discount it about 5k. I didn’t really care about the 2024 changes except the larger screen, which my 23 had anyway.

Awesome. What’s the best show you saw?

Amazon. No need to get off your butt.

Success! I did a test of running my house off the truck (using the dogbone method) and it worked great. I energized all the circuits in my house except the central HVAC (I did run the separate minisplit heat pump we use for our upstairs master, which doesn't draw much). As you can see below...

A generator breaker interlock is permissible by code as an alternative to a transfer switch. It does not switch the hots, but it makes it impossible for the generator feed breaker and the main breaker to both be on at the same time. Someone would have to open up the panel and remove the...
