Just bumping, in case anyone has thoughts about the last two posts -- I still haven't found anything online...

Someone else pointed out on this thread, that there's a chance this is condensing because of the long catch can lines / catch can temperature. Ie, if it was not there, the vapor would remain hot and combust in the engine as designed (vs condensing to a catch can) This is a good question...

Could you please add me to the list? Thanks for organizing these :)

That's very useful -- thanks Phil :)

Thanks. But, is that integral for crash safety and overall truck integrity? Asked another way, would trucks have different crash ratings with the tailgate removed? (They are made removable, after all)

Thanks! :) ( I did a forum search, but for some reason didn't see that post )

Has anyone added tailgate storage? Is it crash-safe, or is the tailgate not part of crash safety? For example, this link shows cutting away a crossmember, but I don't know if that's critical or structural for overall bed integrity.

Would they be wrong? :P

My new 2021 XLT also had that -- on the same side. It was not normal. On opening, the tailgate practically leapt out, it was under so much tension, unlike any other tailgate I've had. 1) I pointed it out to the dealership on taking delivery (factory order), and they scheduled an appointment to...

I replaced the factory fuel tank straps, with straps with studs, so that I can attach the fuel tank skids plate. Does anyone know the bolt torque? The Fuel Tank section had invalid (0 byte) PDFs. Thanks :)

Thanks for asking. Yes; see this build thread for the update.

Exactly; agreed. Actually, originally I was planning to mount a metal skid plate as well, until Phil and others on this forum pointed out the testing / puncture criteria for fuel tanks in crashes. Ie non-Ford metal skid plates could "can-opener" the fuel tank in a crash, whereas the plastic one...

Based on some concerns raised on this forum on crash safety, I ended up getting the proper fuel tank brackets, with integrated studs: I didn't want to risk a normal hardware store bolt pushing up and through the fuel tank, causing a rupture/explosion/etc. Presumably they designed the fuel-tank...

I did not sign up for FordPass (I don't plan to), specifically because of what you mentioned :) The privacy terms are broad and quite poor.

I did this, and i think it worked because a fault code appears (not visible on the dash) that communication with telematics is lost. Unfortunately wifi is still On, and i can't figure out how to turn it Off.

Are most people adding 6.2, or is there an issue with doing eg 6 to be safe?

Thanks -- but that's what I mentioned in my post, that I know what the manual says :D It says to wait 15 minutes, but doesn't say if longer is okay too...longer is also after 15 minutes :) My question is: have people tried checking oil after sitting longer than 15 minutes, eg after a day or few...

That goes back to a question I was wondering: what's the best way to check oil level? There were a few methods on this thread;nthe manual doesn't specify whether the vehicle should have been running recently, just that it should have been shut off for >10 mins. Has anyone checked oil after...

Just to update, i'd added details in this build thread.

Does anyone know how to remove the rear dome light in a supercab (XLT)? I'm looking to access the area above it, but the Interior Lighting section didn't have that info -- that I could tell, anyway.
