What a wonderful tribute. My dad was a carpenter and always a Ford guy. He always had Ford trucks. I remember going to the local Ford dealer to take delivery of his new 1976 F100 the night before my first day of 1st grade. It was as basic as they come…300 6, 3 speed on the column and no power...
I have a 21 with the 5.0L and I wrap some aluminum foil around the crossmember and small bracket before removing the drain plug. It keeps the oil out of the crossmember. I also stick a small funnel in the opening below the rear drain tray hole to prevent the oil from collecting on the fiber...
I have a 2021 F150 with similar problems after a failed OTA update. I had battery issues this past March and the dealer was no help. I ended up charging the battery completely and then I disconnected it for a few hours. Immediately after I reconnected it, I received a Fordpass app notification...
Most Ford vehicles will not remote start if the PCM sees the hood open via the hood ajar switch. I believe the 2021/2022 F150 is no different. Give it a try. I worked at a Ford dealer for a little over a year through the end of 2021 and technicians never disabled the remote start.
Ford had a special service message for various Sync problems when a contact in your address book has unrecognizable characters or emojis stored with the contact info. A fix was pending a few months ago but Ford said to delete any of these until a permanent fix was released. Most users with us...
So here's an update to this concern after my dealer told me that my battery tested fine and reset the battery monitor in the PCM:
Auto start/stop stopped working 2 days after the service visit at the dealer
I tested for a draw & charged my batter back in March, over the air updates went through...
Has anyone had problems using zone lighting from the FordPass app? Mine says to start the truck when I try to turn on the power from the app. My auto start/stop also does not work. The cluster always says “Engine on due to vehicle charging”. I drive a minimum of 40 miles per day and my dealer...
I have the same issue with my 2021. My dealer updated the imaging processing module a few months ago. The update said it would address a bunch of driver assistance errors such as false auto emergency braking warning/activation issues, etc. I think the problem occurs more since the update. The...
This recall involves trucks built at the Kansas City and Dearborn plants. The problem is two of the insulators can sag and rub on the rear driveshaft causing a wear mark that can ultimately lead to driveshaft failure. The dealer is to inspect the driveshaft as well as a wiring harness and some...
I thought I'd post my thoughts after 2 weeks with my 2021 F150 with the 8 speaker B&O sound system. As some of the posters have mentioned, it's slightly "front heavy" but sounds great. My F150 SuperCrew is an XLT and this was well worth the upgrade. Don't expect this to be a "boomin' " system...
