  1. Ford Emblem for Platinum Tailgate in Black

    Like this? I bought these off Ford.
  2. Platinum Plus (photos) Agate Black

    If it had black interior and a V-8 engine I'd love it.
  3. State Farm Monster Loss Announced ~Insurance

    We had a once in a lifetime (you're hearing about ALOT of theses LOL) hailstorm. Destroyed my automobile, plus the roof, downspouts and siding on our home. Not only mine, but every house in the neighborhood. Dutro Fords lot was called a catastrophe as it pounded every new vehicle on their lot...
  4. Platinum Vs Lariat SEAT COMFORT

    I have a 23 Platinum. Most comfortable seats I've ever sat in my 68 years. I already have 18,000 miles so I've spent enough time in it to honestly know. It's great for long trips. Just drove straight thru from Gainesville FLA. to home here in central Ohio. 12 hours. Love this truck. The 5.0 with...
  5. Worst Oil Thread Ever - The BakeOff

    I've always ran Amsoil in both the race cars and my street cars. Dominator in the race cars and Signature in my daily drivers. We had an oil pump pickup break off on a dyno pull and made a full pull to 8000 RPM. Only had between 8 and 10 psi the entire pull. Bearings looked as they did when we...
  6. Rental Ram Limited

    I test drove both a new Ram E-torque Limited and Platinum 5.0. I hated the Mopar's over assisted steering. I like to "Feel" what's underneath me. The Rams make their assist to where you can steer it with your finger, but that's exactly what I DONT want. Mopar has been like this for decades. My...
  7. Running board noise.

    I ordered my truck sight unseen, and I had never driven one with automatic running boards. This was my first truck. I flew into SC to pick it up, grabbed the keys and when I started it and drove off the lot I thought I had run over something. Or I had just hit something! It was those boards...
  8. Do you REALLY NEED 4×4?

    Last week I stopped over to a friend's house and inadvertently backed into little drop off from his concrete to his yard. It was dark and I felt the back of the truck just drop a tad bit. I was STUCK! Looked at my wife, switched over to 4 Wheel and pulled out in a heartbeat. I told her "If this...
  9. What do I need to do in order to be able to hear rear speakers?

    Music is recorded that way in 5.1 systems. You will hear different instruments out of different speakers at varying degrees of emphasis (volume). Like the back up singers will be at a lower emphasis coming out of the rear speakers than the lead singer. And their deliberately that way. Started...
  10. What do I need to do in order to be able to hear rear speakers?

    Well, you shouldn't really "hear" them. As you move the ball, the sound should go from being very front loaded and 'in your face' to moving to where the sound is balance and 'all around you". If it's still front loaded, and as if it's all coming out of the dash something is wrong with your...
  11. What do I need to do in order to be able to hear rear speakers?

    If you want to hear the rear speakers, move the "Ball" on your adjustment screens fader to the area where a rear seats occupants' knee or thigh would be. Right behind the console. That will put a lot more emphasis on the back of the vehicle. You can then leave the surround sound on and it won't...
  12. Don't lubricate oil filter O-ring seal??? What???

    We race cars. NHRA Superstock. Years ago, some of the manufactures started developing aftermarket filters that can be taken apart and cleaned. They had stainless screens instead of paper elements. "System One" was one of those manufactures and many of my competitors started using them. We used...
  13. Powerboost Bed Divider

    Bought the Ford divider. And had my wife make the Velcro attached simulated leather cover to keep dust off everything.

  16. 2024 F-150 Refresh Revealed! New Design, Tech, Base 2.7L EcoBoost Engine, Pro Access Tailgate

    I always considered the "luxury" trucks to be the KR, Platinum, and Limited. A few months ago I received the truck I ordered. 23 Platinum 5.0/373 and 701A Plus others... This was my very first Ford (I'm 67 years old), and my first Truck. I had only two requests for this first Truck. I wanted a...
  17. 2024 F-150 Refresh Revealed! New Design, Tech, Base 2.7L EcoBoost Engine, Pro Access Tailgate

    Looks like the value of the newer Platinum's and King Ranches just went up. I have a 23 Platinum. So now 24's can't get a V-8 motor. That's a real turnoff, at least for me.. and I'm assuming a ton of others. But I do like those 22-inch wheels. I'm going to attempt to buy a set of these new 24...
  18. What does everyone use inside the Bed.. under a bed cover.. to stop things from moving around
