  1. Best Cold Air Intake kit to get for 2021 3.5 EcoBoost 6 cyl?

    Yeah - I decided not to put one in after all. It was a great improvement when I put one in my 1997 Grand Cherokee (inline 6), along with a bigger throttle body, header, custom exhaust, ECM tune, etc. None of that stuff for the Powerboost. 3 years on, and it's still stock.
  2. Any good experiences from PowerBoost owners

    My '21 Lariat FX4 has been trouble-free. I had the issue where the OTA software updates got stuck - never created a problem for me - dealer fixed it. After I sold my camping trailer, I thought I might want to sell the truck. That thought lasted all of 3 seconds.
  3. PB Can't Jumpstart when your 12V Battery Goes Bad

    There is an auxiliary 12v battery under the rear passenger-side seat
  4. Side cameras on with turn signal

    I have Echomaster cameras installed in my Sprinter mirrors, which are pointed aft and eye-level, and I get a good view down the side when the turn signal is activated. It's very handy. However the cameras in my F-150's tow mirrors wouldn't help me see what was on my flank; they're actually...
  5. Side cameras on with turn signal

    but, what will you see when the side camera comes on in the display? Aren't those cameras pointed primarily at the ground?
  6. FORD pass won’t work unless In truck

    here's a guess - your app settings don't allow Ford Pass to access cellular data, forcing the app to use bluetooth instead, which won't work unless you are in or near the truck ?
  7. 87 octane vs 93 octane - ECOBOOST

    I can feel a difference between 87 and 91 when towing. I get about 10-15% better MPG with 91 octane. I decided to run 91 all the time, and I get "clean gas" (Ethanol free) as often as possible.
  8. Well I was hoping it wasn’t going to be me

    The letter I got from Ford - Customer Satisfaction Program 22B34 - states that the problem is "due to thread variations in the bolted joint". The letter also says I will have both sides of the axle replaced under warranty. My truck is a May '21 build, 19000 miles on it - nothing has broken yet...
  9. Towing PB engine freakout

    I've used Normal mode when towing a 2.5 ton RV around town, max speed 40 mph. Haven't experienced any problems with it.
  10. PSA: Check your air filters

    I prefer the 10,000 mile interval no matter whose filter it is don't forget about the cabin air filter.....
  11. 2021 PB Turbo issue?

    If your next oil change is coming up, like in a few weeks, it can probably wait. If it's months away, then I wouldn't wait. My previous turbo car (single VGT turbo, no blow-off valve) had a failing control motor for about 1000 miles before I had it repaired, and no detectable damage resulted...
  12. 2021 PB Turbo issue?

    I have never encountered the symptom recorded in your video. I tow ~ 5000 lbs with mine, over mountain passes, and have not experienced this. I'd say it's not normal, but I'm not an expert. My best guess is the blow-off valve. A dealer may not be able to reproduce it without towing your...
  13. Moon roofs leak

    Sorry, man, never had a leaky moonroof get fixed properly. Now I won't have one at all. It was always the drain tubes getting clogged or broken. I sold the VW, tried to fix the Jeep twice (now up for sale), and I ordered the 501A F-150 because it doesn't have a moon roof.
  14. *&$(#)$)#$@*%&&@ toll rates increase july 1st TEXAS *&*_#$(@$&&@#

    When I was living in South Austin a few years back, and I had to drive to Round Rock 3 times a week, I found that I was saving money by driving 130 (toll road, 30 extra miles) versus I-35 (traffic, accidents, major delays). Though I disliked the concept of the tollway, it was better than the...
  15. Continuing 2kw PowerOnBoard issues.

    I'll echo that statement from Snakebitten - the 7.2KW ProPower is different from the 2KW version. Mine delivers 60hz as reported by my Progressive EMS, and is capable of powering (most of) my house without any issues. I'm not an electrician but it seems to me that 3rd order harmonics in the A/C...
  16. Powerboost charging capability while boondocking.

    Assuming you have a trailer with 30amp service, as I do.... You will have 3.6kw available (one bank of the ProPower) to the trailer. I think it's reasonable to expect that your battery will charge in about 1/3 less time than it does with your 2kw generator. My trailer has 380watts of solar on...
  17. SL/P vs LT rated tires discussion

    The OEM Lariat 18" wheels that came with my truck are marked DOT E The OEM tires are Goodyear Wranglers (LT?) and I'm now running Falken Wildpeaks (E). My impression is that the Wildpeak tires (38 psi) are firmer but not harsh or bouncy. The Wranglers felt a little to soft for my taste, even at...
  18. Which stock size tires are you running and what's your MPG?

    yup but, they are "E" load rated ;-}
  19. gas octane question for PB F150

    Ford's power ratings are derived using high octane gas I prefer 91 (or higher) octane under all conditions
