I called in today to the Ford hotline to see if they had any news and to report my VIN as being affected. I was told they think they have it fixed and are testing what they had changed. I was also told they are working on an update that will allow more fine tuning of updates so that if this...

Well, my truck is plagued with this issue as well. 2021 built Sept. 2021. This is the first update that really caused some problems. I saw above that the DSP part number was not changed between years, but was the ACM updated / changed? I wonder if there is some sort of interpretation issue...

I had the same thing happen about a month ago. Passed a truck on the highway and let off the gas - wrench and check engine light appeared and it felt like a NA 2.7 V6. Had the PCM update applied and its been great since. Other than having to relearn shift patterns, the PCM update went...

I had my battery replaced under warranty in February of this year. Fast forward to last week where I was headed in for warranty work and told the service dept that I had noticed the auto start stop was no longer working. They found that my battery was bad yet again and they had to order...

Have you tried to use zone lighting recently? I had this happen twice now and both times I used zone lighting right before. To fix it I turned the truck on, activated all zones in zone lighting, turned off all the zones and then switched zone lighting off. Then turned the truck off and it no...

The dealership not gonna inspect it because that would be time spent not repairing other cars. Ford doesn't really care because they are not seeing a pattern - there are a number of the 3.5s out there with many more miles and are trouble free. They replaced the long block so the major engine...

I have the 2.7 Ecoboost. I have a buddy who has a 21 5.0 sport and his does have the felt cover - his got ripped at the last oil change. Still holds up, but now uses a larger washer to keep it in place.

Interesting, as everything that I have seen has this cover. The removal of things as time has gone on must have increased, or they skipped putting it on and nobody doing QC saw it was missing. Who knows these days.

Its actually in between the 2 that you had circled. I just did an oil change on my truck this weekend and somehow bent one of them a bit to where the bolt wasn't going in at first.

In your last photo - you can see the silver rectangular mounting 'nut' (with round hole) where the bolt and washer go. It's in between the frame cross member and the stabilizer bar. As for them saying your truck didn't have this in the first place - they are wrong. I have been under a few...

Update: Friday my truck (finally) went to have the parts installed for the door lock issue. I was speaking with the tech and the part that came out of my truck was ML3Z-15264A27-B, where the replacement part is ML3Z-15264A27-D so Ford has made some changes to the part requiring a new revision...

Now that they have admitted to overfilling the transmission - a full inspection needs to be made to the casing. The other question is did they overfill it again when they replaced the output shaft seal? Even with the overflow weep hole - there was immense pressure that built up in the trans...

I wonder if the dealership is overfilling the trans fluid. There is a specific procedure to do it which involves operating temperatures and shifting it into drive (at least that's what my other fords required). I believe the 10 speed also has an overflow tube/vent which releases fluid in the...

This is correct. KC does not have the parts to make Powerboosts. Powerboosts, Tremors, Raptors, Lightnings all have to be made in Dearborn.

Your Powerboost will be built in Dearborn - so you may not have to wait as long as anyone with trucks that have KC specific options. I was 7ish months to wait on a KC truck. Mine was delivered same day with a guy who had a PB ordered in 3 months after mine. It was still 4 months from order to...

It is quite amazing for how fast they travel down the assembly line and go out the door to customers. My truck has had some teething issues with a door lock issue and Ford has followed up a few times making sure I am happy with the progress of the repair. The truck has performed very well for...

You can add a poll by clicking in the top right corner and using the 'add poll' button. Colors (I think I got em all): Agitate Black, Antimatter Blue, Carbonized Gray, Guard (2021), Iconic Silver, Oxford White, Race Red, Rapid Red, Space White, Stone Gray, Velocity Blue, Kodiak Brown (2021)...

I took a trip about 2 weeks ago with a few friends on a skiing adventure. I brought my truck and the other person driving has a 2018 XLT w/ 5.0. The trip there temps were between 3 and -10 F. I got 17.4 MPG with the 2.7 and his got 16.6. The conditions were not terribly bad with the...

Today my truck went to the dealership to have this looked at. The good thing was it was stuck so the tech could see what the issue was. He immediately said its probably the door latch since he had repaired dozens of these on the 15-20 models. They did the further diagnosis that Ford said to...

I looked in the one interior when I was checking it out and thought it was open. It's interesting to see what they have done to 'absorb' the materials cost increase on the trucks. It's disappointing sometimes to see what features have been removed without any notes in the order guide. I...
