Im still experiencing some very hard 4th to 3rd downshifts and weird torque converter behavior after 2 table resets. I went to the quicklane at the dealership to see if fluid was low and they couldn't do it because they didn't have a master tech available. The regular dealership shop wanted to...
Looks like these are getting into hands finally. I was super excited because my wife is looking into these to replace her Cx30 which has been flawless.
I like the looks, but would put it just behind the canyon for the segment. What I can't understand is the fresh EPA numbers. 1 less mpg than...
Okay so my 2022 2.7 has always done this and last week's battery disconnect reset didn't change it. When accelerating slowly, the TC lockup seems to hesitate or "bounce" kinda like a manual. The truck surges when it happens. It happens at all temperatures. It doesn't happen when accelerating...
Aight so I just put 300 hard miles on a new Ram Limited, which truly is a very highly specd trim. The mileage is 26k.
Good:
0 rattles ect
smoother and quieter trans than the 10r80
the entire drivetrain is overall better from an NVH perspective
good power, but much less low end grunt than the...
Hi guys,
Anyone break down one of these sticking EIWEs? I'm trying to understand how bad the damage gets and around what mileage the failure was observed. Id imagine the grinding is leaving metal shavings at a minimum.
Are they even able to be disassembled? Is there a way to check, clean, and...
Hey guys,
I took my 2.7 120 miles Friday through the mountains to go ski, parked it until Sunday (today), started it in 13 degrees using the app (remote start on keyfob doesn't do anything) and noticed black smoke for the first 10 seconds or so, then the relatively normal white. I tried to...
Pretty interesting write up blaming RTV breaking loose and damaging the tensioner as a primary reason for belt failure. Interesting to note it looks like they're replacing the belts with a revised material...
Hey guys, I had a headlight recall done and didn't notice immediately, but I think they might have messed up the fiber barrier that goes in the right side wheel well just behind the bumper. I only noticed it because I'm definitely getting tire rub when at lock, which didn't happen before I don't...
Hi guys. Anyone know how to remove the decorative plastic panels on the doors?
I bought some better looking replacements for my xlt that have some adhesive strips on the back. I tried using a plastic pry tool to remove the existing panels, but didn't want to break my factory ones trying to...
I just picked up my truck for the last and final round of hail repair. I noticed the backup warning sound is different. Idk what else is really new, BUT I noticed there's now the best feature in any ford Ive ever seen HANDS DOWN.
A feedback mechanism! There is now a way to record and send a 45...
I'm slowing hammering out the small issues and have come around to this slight trans issue.
For background, I park on a 4 degree slop with the front of the truck pointed downwards. Haven't really tried flipping it around, but 4 degrees really ain't much to me.
The first shift of the day...
I've had this slight driveline vibration between 50-60mph for a little while now after removing the flat rear blocks and tried a few things. I did confirm problem is much reduced with blocks in, but the pinion angle is the same! I don't have an inclinometer, but the angles seem to match.
I...
Ended up getting upgraded to a ccsb v8 2wd with 4k miles.
First I want to start by saying the 5.0 is the best engine. Having experience with the 3.5 and 2.7, ain't close. The responsiveness is great and the four cyl shift is great. Gas mileage was actually very good and only a hair lower than...
I just wanted to say you guys are hands down the best truck community out there. I was checking out the forums for Tacoma, Canyons, and Rangers as I search for a midsize. Most of those guys are like kittens and laser pointers. This forum (and the equivalent bronco forum) has such an amazing...
So I had the DRL recall done about 2 months ago. I noticed the truck still seemed to flicker when it came back, but I couldn't recreate the issue. It's been in the shop 3 weeks for unrelated hail repair, so I havent had a ton of time to mess around. Then I unlocked the truck while walking...
Is it possible to use forscan to change how the locks operate? I usually have my kid in the back. I get out of the front door and often find the backdoor still locked, which is very different from what I'm used to with the SCAB suicide doors. Any way to change this so I don't have to reach for...
My wife wants a truck after driving my f150. We're thinking Midsize just so we can barely squeeze it in the garage. The backseat space is better than our cx30 which is to be traded regardless, so I can't complain.
I really like the NA motors, but have typically hate Toyotas for numb steering...
