I can’t fall asleep so this is what my mind is on tonight. Regarding the 3.31 & 3.73 Electronic Lock RR axles, does anyone have a diagram or pics of theirs opened up that shows how they work and the mechanics of it all? I see a plug goes into my rear differential housing, which I presume is some...

Hi guys, I’m at 4,500 miles currently and this week my 10R80 has starting to get me a little concerned. It seems like it is getting “stuck” or slipping from 3rd to 4th gear occasionally. Today the shift took what felt like 3 seconds from 3rd to 4th and then it banged into 4th pretty hard. Really...

Typo much? 5.3 turbo?? Either this is a typo or Chevy just dropped the bomb that that are going to kick everyone else’s butt lmao.

Merging onto the Buffalo Skyway this morning the idiot in front of me decided to slam on their brakes and come to a screeching halt where the ramp veers in at the end (no shoulder) rather than hit their gas to merge. The kicker is there were no cars in the right lane we were merging into, only...

Any ideas what to do here? My dealer was adamant Ford does not provide fasteners for the tailgate cover and you are to use to ones in the metal panel on tailgate. Problem is there was only 6 screws on my truck from the factory and there are 8 holes on the cover. Bigger washers? They pop right...

Appreciation post. I’m sorry but these are literally some of the best mirrors I’ve ever owned. Totally eliminates blind spots, well done on Fords part.

Ben Hardy just tested all 5 powertrains back to back. The good news: he did not have anything bad to say about any of them, well except the base V6. But hey for fleet use and regular cabs it is probably adequate enough through the 10 speed. Great video of the 14th gen. His rankings are: Tied...

So I enabled the auto hold feature on my 2023 STX which holds the brakes for you at a stop. I forgot to put the truck into park before shutting off and to my surprise the column shifter puts itself into Park!!!

I was thinking, the electric motor used on the PowerBoost really is only specific to the 10R80 transmission unit if you look at the design. Ford realistically could make the hybrid an add on option for every powertrain. So essentially Ford could offer all the engines in their standard form and...

Was looking for a video on this, here is a 2022 mashing the go pedal. I read on MotorTrend they got 5.9 seconds for the 5.0 in 2018 on a Lariat then 6.2 seconds on a King Ranch for 2021 but that doesn’t make much sense lol. This puts it square in the upper 5 second range. Andre at TFL also...

Today when I was driving I hit the brakes coming to a light and some melted snow came off my roof onto the windshield. Not a ton but a decent amount. I was very shocked when the windshield wipers failed to lift the snow and I had to pull over and wipe it off. We aren’t talking much snow here. I...

Has anyone bought the old fashioned remote start system? The Ford Pass app is complete hot garbage and only starts/works half the time. Need something more reliable. I see Ford sells a real remote start on the accessories site for roughly $200.

Anyone have any good reads on this generation 4 Coyote, specifically the F-150 version? Gen 4 is coming in 2024 for the Mustang but there are likely differences and we’ve had the 4th gen since 2021 in the pickup trucks. All I can find is generation 3. Do we have piston oil cooling jets? The...

With the 5.0 V8 squeezing the mixture with a 12:1 compression ratio and the 3.5 EcoBoosts turbos cramming all that extra air into the cylinders these trucks seem to be asking a lot out of 87 octane. There is a lot of pressure in these cylinders no matter which motor you run. What’s the consensus...

Hi folks. Just got a new Super Cab 2023 F-150 Area 51 Blue STX appearance package with the 5.0L V8 this week. Loving the 400 horsepower/410 lb ft of torque through the 10R80, this truck feels so light on its feet and chugs along with no effort. Used X-plan and Fords recent college graduate...
