  1. SOLVED - My 21' Radio decided it had enough - stopped working

    Last time I drove the truck was a week ago. Everything worked perfectly fine. Started the truck today and noticed that the radio button is grayed out, can't press it. Audio On/Off button doesn't do anything. Volume is working but no sound. Soft reset, radio is playing for a couple of seconds...
  2. What might cause a sudden steering wheel not centered?

    Was on a 1100 mile round trip drive (about 550 up, 550 back). Sometime in the middle of the first leg I noticed that my steering wheel is off center, leaning left. It was always dead on center. I did not hit anything, not a pothole...nothing, I just noticed that about half way through. Yes, it...
  3. What's the verdict on oil quantity between the two dots on the dipstick?

    Can't find it anywhere. I know the two dots are max, and the grooved section is nominal, but how much oil does it represent? I believe back in the day it was commonly known that it is 1 qt between min. and max. in dipstick. Does anyone know if this is the same in the F-150 (in my case it is the...
  4. Increase buttons' and switches' light with FORScan?

    I wonder if there is a way to increase the backlight level of buttons and switches only (HVAC buttons, radio buttons, the lights/pedal controls on the left, etc). I do not like bright lights. My office is usually dark and the brightness in my vehicles are pretty dim at night. The problem is that...
  5. Milwaukee M12 Fuel, or M18 none Fuel, both brushless, kit of two?

    Looking for new drill and impact. I had DeWalt before, still working but the chuck is a bit crooked for some reason. I have a grudge against DeWalt because of their customer service and I put my eye on Milwaukee. Mostly home use, very little automotive use, if any. If the impact can undo the lug...
  6. Work Surface Console won't stay open after "Penny trick"

    Like many others, I "fixed" my refusing-to-stay open Work Surface console cover. Apparently, the two coins weakened the springs even more and now the console won't stay up even when the truck parks on a level surface. Did anyone find a good and permanent solution to that, or found a good mod...
  7. Any idea what these white marks on my headlights are?

    Never seen them before. They look identical. It's nothing on the outside (tried to wipe it), and it doesn't seem to be inside. Looks like some kind of a halo of some sort, but I can't determine what's causing it.
  8. Peeling Paint

    I am not the OP on this thread about peeling paint , but I reported my truck with the same issue. I have an update, so I wanted to start a new thread. Recap: 2021 Lariat, Space White, manufactured in KS, like all/most trucks reported in the other thread. Found peeling paint in the roof's rain...
  9. Is my camera broken?

    I swear, I do not remember even seeing the rear plates lights in the camera when the truck is in reverse. Do you all see these lights when you are in reverse and I simply missed it, or is something wrong with my camera?
  10. Rear Lamp Assembly (LED w/BLIS) Connector - Reverse pin

    Looking to add reverse pods (Diode Dynamics) and the instruction page shows that pin 4 is the reverse light. When I look at the connector diagram (C4484, Rear Lamp Assembly, RH), it shows pin 4 as reverse only if the truck is equipped with smart hitch. There is no other pin for reverse light...
  11. Ford Service Manuals Download

    I just paid for 3 day subscription to download some manuals and wiring data. I thought there was an option to actually 'download' the files but I don't see that. The only option is to print/save it as .pdf. The end result is the same, but download is much faster. Am I missing a download option...
  12. Truck in body shop, got message on FordPass "Pre-Collision Assist not Avail"

    Front bumper, center and lower moldings are being replaced so I understand where this message is coming from. My question is - when they put everything back together, assuming they do it right ;) , should the error message go away by itself or is there anything else that needs to be done to...
  13. Upcoming Update Notification....but no update

    So yesterday I got this notification bell on my center screen: I click on "Update Scheduled to Install Tomorrow": Curious, I click on "Details": Checking FordPass this morning - No updates were installed. This is the 2nd time it happens. WTF?
  14. Recent Cruise Control "update" is a safety hazard - how do you submit feedback to Ford?

    I just finished updating all modules in my truck and finally brought it to 'current' status. One of the new things (I don't know which module is responsible for that) is a new sequence of events when you turn Cruise Control Master on. In every vehicle that I have driven, as well as my 2021 F-150...
  15. Best time to purchase 2-day FDRS license for full weekend

    So what is the common wisdom in regards to when is the best time (day/time) to purchase a 2-day FDRS license for a full 2-day weekend worth? I read somewhere here that if you buy it after midnight on Thursday (like 00:05 on Friday), your license will be valid Friday through midnight Sunday, so...
  16. Christmas Miracle - First OTA update after 2.5 years. Help me understand what's happening...

    As reported in many threads, my 2021 Job 2 truck never, ever received an update. My SYNC software version was stuck on 21223, Revision 197, from the day the truck was born until about 10 days ago when I last checked). I am on the MCLP list (Mongoose Cable Loaner Program... :D). I don't if Ford...
  17. UPDATE 2: Bumper-to-bumper, vs "normal wear and tear" - is this covered?

    21', truck has ~ 21K miles and is 26 months old, so clearly still under the bumper-to-bumper warranty. In addition, I have 8 years, 100,000K miles extended warranty. This issue is not new, I've had it for well over a year, but I finally decided to take care of it. The front seal on the...
  18. 2022 F-150 Blown 5.0L Coyote Engine Complete Teardown Video

    This is a pretty cool video of a blown Gen 4 5.0L complete teardown. This doesn't look like a Ford dealership, the engine has 5K miles on it, it is a 22' model so it has to be under warranty. Not sure why would they not go to Ford for warranty replacement (unless of course they mistreated it...
  19. Has anyone used Ford Mobile Service? Local dealer scheduled me for two recalls through Mobile Service.

    I went to a different local dealer than the one I usually go to for oil change using their Quick Lane on a Saturday (simply because they could accommodate me on that Saturday and my "regular" one couldn't). I knew I have two recalls: the wiper motor and the wire harness. Not too concerned about...
