Did they share any more details about the amp? As in, is this the source of most of these problems and they've seen it before or do they think it's an isolated incident? Sure would be nice to find "the fix" for this!
As I understand it, the payload package comes with 3.73 gears and a bigger 9.75-inch rearend housing.
If you just opt for 3.73 gears and no Payload package, then you get the base 8.8-inch rearend housing and the 3.73 gears.
Lariat Super Crew 4.4 3.55 short bed here. On a highway run with the cruise set at 70 mph I have no problem getting 24-25 mpgs and in my commute, which is about 10 miles with 40% being city driving and 60% highway, cruising along about 65 mph I'm getting 21.5-22 mpg.
I have only put a couple...
Thanks for the info, and it's STILL doing the loud pop and static issue?! Sheesh. We need to get more people filing those NHTSA complaints to see if we can this fixed by Ford!
I'm really surprised that the NHTSA hasn't done anything about it yet either, especially after doing some research and discovering that this issue is happening with B&O-equipped Expeditions, Mach-Es, F-150s and Raptors...what's weird is that I'm not hearing of this being an issue with...
Thanks for all the info. Your post raises a new question. Does this have to do with "Surround mode" vs "stereo" mode? I wonder if everybody whos had this happen knows or remembers what setting their system was in?
So far we're learning that this happens mostly with Unleashed trucks, but some...
Some people have posted this link to what looks like a potential class action lawsuit for the issue: https://lemberglaw.com/ford-f-150-audio-sound-system-problem/
Also, if you haven't filed a complaint with the NHTSA, it only takes a few minutes and I definitely would. This is a dangerous...
@SoundsGoodStereo, some additional info here! Also, the post above this one is another with the 8-speaker B&O having the same issue, so maybe it's not the amp? Arg...so confusing!
I was gonna push that link back to the top here and encourage everybody who’s had it happen to files something with the NHTSA.
This, from @Lytning ‘s post:
“Following is a link to NHTSA Report #11487857 which I filed. It takes only about 5 to 10 minutes to complete a complaint...
Spending some time on Tire Rack and see if you can find a tire that’s much lighter and in the eco category, doing both of those can definitely increase mileage.
Anyone have any additional info on this? Dealer was stumped so they've reached out to Ford Engineering...they found another "like" truck and they said the welcome chime came from behind the dash too. Am I missing something? I thought the door chime/welcome chime came from all of the speakers...
Some claim the factory intercooler is inefficient and that adding a quality aftermarket one helps keep IATs in check while towing in the heat, and removes restriction enough to see a roughly 1 mpg increase. Not sure if it’s true, but I keep reading about it with those who add the CVF Titan V2 to...
I’ll play. Not the most, def. on the lower side, but it’ll do everything I’ll ever need it to—love the 2.7 eb as I only tow a few times a year and the MPGs are pretty solid. I think GVWR is 6600 lbs
