The higher rpm is exactly why I use T/H mode. Solves the problem with zero downside. i think would be very interesting to have an opportunity to drive someone else’s truck to see if this booming / rumbling is unique to my truck, or if they all do it, but it just doesn’t bother some people.

South Florida is like living on a pirate ship that never leaves port.

I have gotten this off and on ever since the truck was new. I was kind of concerned because, like you, I have all the data collection settings turned off. I’ve never activated FordPass, and I don’t have the keyless entry, etc. i have to use the actual hardware key to start my truck. i’ve...

I hear you on the complication factor. But the truck remembers the Tow/Haul mode when you shift in and out of S mode. So you really only have to do it once at the beginning of any given trip. i like Tow mode for higher speed /highway cruising, ans S mode for low speed traffic (<45 mph).

No. I haven’t really out any effort into tracking it down, because just keeping the engine rpm out of that range is good enough for me. If I wanted to track it down, I’d probably start with an audio function generator wired into the Aux input andnturn up the volume while slowly sweeping the...

Not sure if your concern is the rough shift or the rpm drop. Since the rpm drop is just the torque converter locking (eliminating slip), I assume the concern if the rough shift. There's so much information about the transmission "learning" that what it's actually learning gets kind of lost in...

Mine are doing the exact same thing.

I'm pretty much OK with most of what you said. But the term limits measure is a (non-)solution to an electoral integrity problem. They (both parties) don't care what real voters think about anything because we are not a commodity of fixed supply. They (again, both parties) manufacture votes...

@LevittownFordParts.com Hello, Benny. I was in a slight traffic accident, and now I have need for a front bumper and right front wheel. The insurance quoted me a generic wheel, but my truck has the STX Special Edition package (which includes 18" black alloy wheel with machined edge) and the...

You're doing it wrong. Drink the tomato soup, glue yourself to a painting, and throw yourself into the road. Thanks for playing.

Unless you want to ride a 2 stroke...

For what it's worth, I have a small input on this subject, although I don't use FordPass. I was getting these (or similar) notifications on the Sync3 screen. The wording was slightly different. I'm going by memory here, but it said something "was shut down to save battery". It was doing it...

Oddly enough, I just had occasion to attempt defroster mode today, and it would not allow recirculate. It insisted on using outside air only. This may contribute to OP's problem. I am just going by memory, but I remember mashing the button several times, and it would not recirc. If it...

Something out of whack in the Stability Control system? I have a difficulty with my truck in accelerating out while turning, and I have been suspecting it has something to do with Stability Control. When I turn left (like at an intersection, a full 90 degree left turn), the truck will not...

MIne does the same thing. And turns down the fan after a few minutes when she starts getting cold. I have explained like she's five, ten, twelve, and I also tried some elementary control theory in sheer desperation. :) She learned how to deal with AC when SHE was the thermostat. And no dice...

Yeah. I design test equipment for industrial use, and some of the convoluted things (other) designers make users go through to avoid adding another dedicated switch is unreal. Saving $ 0.18 in hardware cost, but makes the thing so hard to use that nobody wants to use it. Stupidity...

I feel your pain. But sometimes looking at an overview of the feature set helps things make more sense. Even if it's just so you know what you want to turn off. Here's a link to the manufacturer's page for the thing. It has videos... https://www.rainbird.com/products/esp-me3-series-controllers

I stand corrected. You are probably right about that. I didn't go out to the truck and look. You could straighten those fins if you were so inclined. They make tools for that, (fin straightener / fin tool / fin comb) but the configuration of those fins makes me think the typical tools would...

Thanks for posting the Ford manual excerpt. I tried to locate mine, but I failed. I noted this paragraph (not highlighted): For best overall vehicle and engine performance, premium fuel with an octane rating of 91 or higher is recommended. The performance gained by using premium fuel is most...
