I'm getting ready to take the ole' girl in for her first service. Curious if anyone pulled the driveshaft apart and lubed it up or had a dealer do it? I am definitely going to bring it up, but it would be nice to have some confirmation. All in all, very happy with the truck. Having the...
For me it has nothing to do with shifting as I can see the gears shift to first before bringing it to a full stop and before and clunk. Ditto when letting off the brake to start going, if it clunks then, it’s still in 1st.
I had the truck loaded up last weekend with a few hundred pounds in the...
When all else fails pull out the ole “it’s normal for x vehicle to do that” but can’t explain why. Definitely appreciate Phil’s insights as it gives us an idea of where to source the issue.
It's a Lariat Super Crew 4x4 with the FX4 package. While I'd prefer it didn't do this, I'm not going to be upset about it or change my view on the truck. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't evidence of a larger problem brewing. If it turns out to be something else, I have the 3 year warranty...
Hi Phil,
Just tried it out and I can get it to stutter even if I leave it in first. It’s not as replicable at slow speeds in 1st with automatic (because it wants to shift pretty quickly), but if I put it in manual sport and leave it in first it feels pretty similar to when I’m doing my normal...
Well I'm glad I'm not alone! :) The best way I can describe it is that is feels like the brakes stick for a half second. Sometimes right before complete stop sometimes right after letting off the brake to go. If the brakes were sticking it would seem odd that the issue could occur both when...
Hi Phil,
This definitely helps! I'll play around with it based on some of your suggestions. It is a 4x4 with the FX4 package. I think it's more of a feel than an audible sound, but it's definitely noticeable. When I told a passenger to pay attention while I stopped, they noticed it the...
It happens pretty consistently, I'd say at least 80% of the time. I'll let everyone know what I find out, but if anyone else has the same issue or any suggestions I'm all ears.
I mentioned this in a longer post, but wanted to make this a stand alone topic. I notice almost every time I come to a stop there is a small clunk that I can feel. It usually happens after I stop and then let off the gas to start going again, or just before I come to a complete stop. How fast...
When I'm on the highway/long trips I get excellent mileage, mid 20's. During the work week however I'm in stop and go traffic. The AC is on since it's summer....and when I'm on lunch I usually have the truck on which kills mileage since you are literally sitting there, going nowhere, but using...
It's not the auto start stop, but it almost feels like that. (I always turn it off) Almost like an engine sputter but again there doesn't seem to be any visible change in the RPM's, although it's a digital gauge so it might not be as visible as it would be on a traditional gauge.
I asked a...
So far I love this truck, It's my first truck although I have driven several in the past. I have the Lariat Chili Pepper Red FX4 with tan leather interior and chrome package. My last vehicle was a compact car so it took a bit of get used to "floating" above the road but I think it's great and...
For example, my lunch break is an hour rather than 10 minutes, so in this type of a situation, I would like the radio to not cut out every 10 minutes. And if I could, yes, I would rock out in there all day :)
This has been talked about on some threads in the past, but I haven't seen anything recently. Right now if you double tap the start button in the Lariat, you can have just the radio playing. The problem is that it times out after 10 minutes and you need to double tap the button again...
I tugged on the old lights and nothing really happened, so I figured they were crimped in there somehow so I just cut right at the top of the blade on the stock ones, probably took off about a quarter inch of the wire. I guess if they fail, I'll put new blades on and do it the right way. The...
I installed the LED Puddle lights yesterday. Pretty straight forward although its not a true plug and play. You have to cut the old lights off so that you just have the wires, remove about a quarter inch of sheathing from each wire and connect it to the leads of the new light, then wrap with...
