A good Ole FDRS lookup for the VIN would likely tell you?

I do think there was a TSB regarding. Picked up on it at the SuperDuty forum. I'm a newbie over there and doing a deep dive on the 7.3
I had ChatGPT research for me after you mentioned it 😂

I don’t know how to do a FDRS lookup. You may not have noticed but I’m absent from most discussions regarding FDRS

Well there you go!
I think the issue was mostly pre-2023 Box trucks and RV's. The SuperDuty F series pickups had different pcm strategy.

I'm not currently licensed up. But if/when I do, I will certainly let you know. :)

I always wondered how RVs were serviced. Was it an "RV place" or the chassis manufacturer (ie: Ford)? I will say, I can't recal ever seeing an RV at a Ford dealer.

Yes the RV can be taken care of by Ford as long as they have room for it in their maintenance bays. There are Ford large vehicle maintenance facilities if it’s too big for the dealer. Just did the research by calling my service advisor lol.

Yes. I went up on the roof and it looked pretty clean and solid up there.

One of the pics is the slide protector awning. I’m figuring out how slides work and how to maintain them. It’s a worry spot for me.
As for slide topper/awnings, black/dark colors is the way to go. And never put them away wet or they will develop all sorts of funky mold that will take some time clean-up.

7.3 V8 is a very capable beast and most RV mfg use that engine/chassis combo somewhere in their line-up; and yes, check the weights, ask if you can test drive it (to a nearby CAT scale!).

Good luck keeping that roof bright white!! LOL. No one see the roof from the ground anyway. We taped off all the seams with wide EternaBond tape and Gorilla Waterproof Patch and Seal Tape the last time we went up to wash the roof off.

Great tips! Thanks 🙏
Perhaps my EGO blower might be handy for quick drying the slide toppers before closing up? Space is a premium but caring for it properly is key. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Floor plan comes first. My wife loves the bathroom. I have a few deal breakers. I want a 450 chassis, fiberglass roof, vacuum bonded composite sides, one piece fiberglass front cap, and we need to reach the fridge, the bathroom, and a bed without extending the slides. Checks those boxes, and then adds full body paint, a 4.5kW inverter/generator with variable RPM, and a decent suspension package. “EZ-Ride” comes with Firestone rear air bags, a Hellwig rear sway bar, and Bilstein shocks all around.

Pretty nice setup on the chassis already plus the features you need. What's the price point to Odyssey?
