I’ve had an extremely irritating squeaking noise coming from my front end the last month or so. I go in to my shop this morning for a rotate, balance, and oil change and mention it to the mechanic. The noise made it embarrassing to drive in a parking lot. He takes a look and can’t find much...
I need 4 to 8 F450 or F550 chassis cabs. They need 16 ft boxes (I can source the boxes) so I will need at least 196 wheelbase. Diesel preferred. Can anyone help?
I was thinking about swapping out the stock AGM battery for an optima yellow top. But noticed there are a few lithium ion batteries available. Would you go with the lithium or the optima? Why?
Is anyone else dangerously close to buying one? If so are you going to have it painted? They cost more money than the competition but it looks like the build quality is superior.
Update:
Here is the finished product on my F-150 if anyone is interested.
These Powerboost engines and drivetrains are an absolute beast. I was about 10% over capacity on the rear axle, but it performed very well. I traveled about 300 miles at 50-60 mph and averaged 10 mpg. The Chevy owners in the back seat were thoroughly impressed.
I had a transfer switch installed on the house today. Most of my appliances, HVAC, and hot water heater are gas. I haven’t tested it yet. Has anyone else done this yet? I’m thinking the 7.2 kw can power most of the house.
I would hold off a little longer. Ford is telling the manufacturers that the dimensions on the bed of the 2020 and 2021 are the same. The dimensions may be the same but something is off a little. I FaceTimed with the President of RSI North America a little earlier and showed him what I was...
I finally got the brake light harness installed. Now the truck thinks I have a trailer connected and disables the rear cross traffic system and several other rear guidance systems. Any ideas?
Tomorrow will be interesting. I’m going to be towing this roughly 300 miles. I got 11.2 MPG on the 30 mile commute home. It towed great for a half Ton...much better than the raptor. I’ll report back tomorrow.
Update with results:
On interstate 40 going west from Nashville to Memphis I averaged...
I know there are several on here, including myself, who are wanting to put a gooseneck on their new short Bed trucks. Would we be better off with a weight distribution hitch and heavy duty bumper pull? B&W makes an extend a goose that would help. It seems like the conventional towing capacity is...
I just dropped my 2021 F150 Platinum of to have the ceramic tinting done. Should be done in a few hours, but I'm taking it back next Monday to have 2 layers of ceramic coating on the rest of the truck. I know they take the top layer of clear coat off and make any corrections that need to be...
Iv'e put 1500 miles on my 2021 F150 Platinum with the powerboost engine and kind of feel obligated to post a review. I'll start by saying these things are awesome! They offer the best of everything. There is plenty of power if you want it. If you want good gas mileage it offers that too.
The...
But it’s not the one I ordered. The one I’ve ordered has been sitting on ramp 59 for 6 weeks and hasn’t moved. So I jumped ship and drove from Nashville to Detroit to buy one from a dealer here. 2021 Antimatter Blue F150 Platinum with the powerboost. About to drive it off the lot now. Will...
About a week ago the vehicle I ordered stopped showing up on the Ford Vehicle locater. Since then I've been viewing the window sticker to keep an eye on the Ramp, Bump, Camp section at the top to try to get an idea about its shipping info. Now the window sticker has disappeared. It takes me to...
