So I did an oil change myself august 15th at 1,000 miles and I didn’t notice fuel smell much on the dipstick but while it was draining it defiantly smelled like fuel. I put in just a hair over 6 quarts of mobile 1 and it brought it just about to the top of the hash marks on the dip stick so I...
I AGREE! Mine tries to go into 8th around 30mph and it lugs until it downshifts. I'v been driving in tow mode and it keeps it 1 gear lower and feels much better.
I just saw this post and I’m pretty sure my new tremor is behaving the exact same as you describe. In normal D mode when cruising at 30mph and giving light throttle the rpms drop too low and the truck shutters/vibrates and just feels horrible. Seems to happen below 1500rpm in certain situations...
My tremor has been similar since day one and I’m coming up on 1,000 miles. In mine is like a low frequency vibrating lugging type of feeling. I agree it feels like the truck is about to misfire but it’s not. Since my truck is so new I think it’s a programming issue with the trans. Curious to...
Haha maybe it’s perfect and it’s just the dipstick then. I almost want to do an oil change and see how much comes out bc I’m OCD but I have a feeling it will be a waste and the oil level will be correct. I just can’t see Ford overfilling and engine from the factory to the point it would cause...
Thank you for the response. Im fairly confident it’s just a tad overfilled from the factory. It’s not rising and has been like this for the last 2 weeks so I guess my question was more along the lines of will it hurt anything being overfilled like that?
I know how to properly check the oil and the truck is on a level surface.
i have a 21 Tremor with 750 miles and it seems Ford may have overfilled it a tad from the factory. (See photo). With 750 miles I don’t want to do an oil change just yet
I read the fuel in oil thread and mine isn’t too...
I just tried to duplicate what you describe and my tremor is the EXACT SAME! light throttle holding in 5th gear around 20mph and I feel that rumble strip type vibration. I have 600 miles on mine. It does make me feel better that yours is behaving the same so maybe its just how these tremors are...
It’s because these trucks force the transmission into the highest possible gear! Mine goes into 7th gear and wants to cruise at 1200rpm if I’m driving on side roads at 30mph. Give a little gas and it downshifts into 5th and feels great. If you don’t apply enough throttle it stays in too high of...
I'm getting a lot of people telling me that their truck is the same as what I describe but I also have a few people like yourself who claim to not have it or not notice it. Maybe some trucks do it more than others or peoples perceptions are different. the 10 or so people who have told me theirs...
I agree! I also posted this question on Facebook and everyone that is responding is saying their truck does it and its fairly normal. I figured I would ask on here before taking it in to the dealer and having them tell me its fine. Def saved me some time. This is also my first 4 banger and my...
Mine sounds a bit different than what you describe but I just created a thread about this yesterday. When the truck is at low rpm and you feather the throttle you get a nasty feeling. Vibration, shutter, resonance ect. What ever you want to call it. Happens between 25-40mph on mine.
it’s tough...
I like tow mode as well. It seems to hit every gear and doesn’t skip gears nearly as much as D and holds the gears just a tad longer. So far so good!
