Mine (22 XLT 301A)does the same thing. It seems to be related to how fast I turn the key off after putting in park. If I delay my shutdown 2-5 seconds after going to park, it doesn’t happen.

I hope mine holds up , because I’m using it like every other 4x4 I’ve owned, for Everything it’s got. If it breaks I won’t buy another ford until it’s resolved. I Really like that 32 valve V8.

Rubbermount for vibration dampening causes flex in many different ways. A solid mount can’t move around. Just a guess.

Agreed you have In my opinion every right to feel cheated. I would.

That is an interesting statement. I worked at a dyno test track in Chandler AZ. You are exactly right. If they had tested the truck like they did in the mid 2000s. They certainly would have broken a few. Not to mention bent a bunch of frame mounted receivers. We tested to failure on a few...

Clearly the case needs some real support under the driveshaft to restrain the downward force in reverse. It looks like it’s just hanging in the air. Looking at ur photo, that casting sure looks thin. Is it a 1/4 “ thick at the back of the bearing race. I had a thought that it’s likely due to...

It’s doubtful that anyone who spend as much money and time as the 2021 model group did, would abuse the truck in the first year. It is advertised as a 400 hp 4x4 truck. If some engineer deemed the axle capable, but forgot to think about reverse FOMOCO got a real issue headed there way...

I believe it was caused by reusing scrap aluminum and not testing it from batch to batch. The mining sources were unable to supply and foundry’s were buying all the scrap they could get to keep production going. Likely QC at the foundry.

I don’t know how the 5.0 engine management determines which fuel is being burnt either. it’s probably not hard though. Once it knows it loads a ethanol table to tweak just like gas timing tables.

Im running the factory Goodyear AT at 48 lbs in front 42 rear. Something I did notice while using E85 was oil life was a little shorter. I also read in ford manual you should fill at least 75%of the tank when switching. Essentially not mix to much. Which doesn’t make sense to me because E85...

I’m gonna guess that you have 3:55 diff gear ratio. It’s really crazy if you slow down to 65 on the Inter state HWY it will 23mpg with 500 lb load in the bed.

I don’t either it’s afunction of opening the door in gear and no seatbelt. I think the idea is if you aren’t wearing seatbelt and the door opens , it goes to park incase you fell out.

Seatbelt stops that.
