Update... this is still a problem and a frustrating issue for me. I like the truck but am not sure I will buy another Ford product because of things like this.
Here is the note I sent to Ford. No response of any sort.
My situation is as follows. Last year (2022), I brought the truck to Putnam...
Both the Fords and Chevys are nice. I've had several Tahoes and they've been great. I looked at a Denali diesel but the interior was weak, so I bought the PowerBoost and am happy with it. If I were to buy a new truck today I'd look at the GMs with the new interiors, but I'd probably still go...
I didn't increase my ride height so I didn't align again. If you lift at all, even 1", you will need to align.
I like them. They softened up a bit but are still firm, just a little less nervous. I would do it again.
This is pissing me off. Per my prior post, my truck just stopped updating. I keep getting messages on FordPass that say I'm scheduled for an update, then it doesn't happen, and then I get another FordPass message saying I'm scheduled again for the next day and so on. But it never happens. I must...
Mine generally has worked, but not recently. I keep getting messages in FordPass that say “you’ll get an update on Sat night” but then it doesn’t happen. I then get another message that says “you’ll get an update Sunday night” and so on, but they never happen. I have auto updates enabled and, as...
I have the gTecniq ceramic coat. I applied it myself. I've been very happy with it. The truck stays cleaner and washes easier. The only downside is that it's hard to correct imperfections once it's on, so I don't use ceramic on really dark cars. You color looks great BTW.
It’s not that hard. With a new truck that isn’t crusty and rusty (undercarriage rust from the factory notwithstanding), the ball joints and tie rod ends pop right off
Hey all. A few months ago I installed some 5160s on the rear and they definitely solved the bounce problem and helped the ride of the truck quite a bit. Now that the 6112s came out, I figured I'd give them a try. I ordered them from ShockSurplus assembled with the top mounts and installed them...
I just did this today and figured it out myself. I pulled the plastic mount for the orange wires off so I could move those wires up an inch or two. Then I got a socket on a standard 3/8" ratchet on and went in from the side, behind the strut mount (toward the rear of the truck). It was a pain...
I spoke with a Bilstein engineer at KOH and he told me the 6112 will have better on road ride quality than the 5100, for what it’s worth. My 61112s are arriving today so I’ll post when I get them in.
The better question is Fox 2.0 vs. Bilstein 6112, and there are threads on that. But to answer your question, I think the 5100s will ride better on-road and the Fox’s will be better off-road. And the 6112s will ride better on-road than both.
