Got my truck back yesterday afternoon. Giving the tech benefit of the doubt, I've had both a HPFP and an injector (#4) failure. The tickets say they were diagnosed as such. Summary experience is that I took it in shortly after buying it because it appeared the oil was at or very near the max...

If you're comfortable with Toyota and not with Ford, that's probably your best bet. Have you confirmed that Toyota has finally better addressed frame failures though? I had an '03 Tundra (bought new) before my Ranger, so not just blowing anti-Toyota smoke up your ass. Seeing that 2nd gen Tundras...

I wonder if it's just a batch, Phil. I ran across a thread from May about those that were getting MIL's. Mine was built in September and I'm waiting on a #4 replacement. Of course that assumes that the tech has properly diagnosed my problem this time. I was told the HPFP was the source some...

It's been a horrible year, so best you don't look. Would hate to see that be the thing to push you over the edge.

I didn't weigh in on any benefits (over the obvious price difference, at least in corn country) because I can't really speak intelligently to the subject (or many others for that matter). But a quick search on volatility brought up a paper you may want to take a glance at unless you hate GM...

It doesn't really matter what others think when Ford clearly states not to run it in these engines, in my opinion. Page 142. But it's your warranty to void. Note: Use of any fuel for which the vehicle was not designed can impair the emission control system, cause loss of vehicle performance...

I'll try to remember when I'm back on Tuesday for the engine that makes free oil.

Got the message too. If it were an update to the owners manual, wouldn't it make sense that a v5 would be online by now? Nah, probably not, given how badly the manuals are being maintained. And I still can't see the manuals when I'm logged into owner.ford.com via a browser. Still works if...

Have you seen https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/lemon-laws-7-questions-about-a-consumer-protection-law-canada-doesn-t-have-1.2951106 ? Probably worth a read. "If the issue is safety-related, the consumer may be able to get Transport Canada to investigate. " may apply to you. I've been on winding...

My truck has had a mild shudder on take-off (and maybe thru 3rd gear with mild throttle input) since the test drive. I accepted it that way. When being interviewed by the young service writer on behalf of the tech looking at my "making oil" issue, I mentioned it to her. She said basically "oh...

Check the Forscan forums, but I think you want https://www.scantool.net/obdlink-ex/ for writing changes out. I have an MX+ myself, but wireless connectivity is considered risky and you don't want to turn your truck into a brick. You should also look at the two dedicated threads here -...

This gave me an excuse to crack the manual open (a rare occasion). From page 152 of 2019 v4 owner's manual: Press the button (1) on the transmission selector lever (2) to select reverse (R) or drive (D). After the transmission is in drive (D), you can then press the button (1) on the...

Really glad to hear, Wade. You certainly had more than your share of angst with the problem.

I don't know that I'll ever recover from being robbed of the middle ones.

You may not be giving lobbyists enough credit for earning their pay. They were in the courts in Indiana again last year fighting for the dealers, according to my consumer protection wife. I seem to recall that they basically won. I'd provide more detail but the nerdy legal answer I got caused me...

VKL5Z-16228-A Fender Vent. I had considered replacing it too, but don't recall what the original price was before Ford started its recent price gouging. It's now $140 discounted FFS.

But isn't it noteworthy that the dealer techs spent days trying to resolve it but the engineer fixed it on one visit? Was this a training or competence issue, or was it a UI problem that was worked around (via command line maybe)? Either way, it's not a good answer, and one that requires another...

You don't say whether you're going by the dash reading or that you're tracking actual fuel usage. Also, you're still pretty low mileage on the engine. And my 2wd had been getting around 20 per fuelio since I started tracking it, but that's prior to the replacement of the high pressure fuel pump...
