As a tech myself I would have multitudes more confidence in us putting them in, however the pay that will come with it is not worth it, especially with having to program 99% of modules. i am tired of fixing manufacturing issues for pennies on the dollar so ford can ship a truck. This is their...

The dea The dealer is very limited with battery replacement. Unless it fails on ford’s approved testers, you arent getting a new battery. They are very strict with battery replacement and will find any excuse to deny a claim.

Just to be clear, we are not going to be installing microchips onto circuit boards. The technicians will be installing built modules into the vehicle that are missing. from a dealer tech point of view, im not thrilled about this. We already get screwed heavily on recalls and warranty repairs...

I am a ford tech, let me chime in a bit. On the fog lamp programming issue, be aware that this is not a technician problem. Ford limits us through their scan tool programming options a ton. We are not allowed to program a lot of things that ford has not approved, this being one of them. Of...

D Plan is about 10k less than that, before any incentives. there was about 1500-200 worth of incentives that I qualified for in April, will see what they are at time of financing and go with whatever is better. Plus I have a 2020 Ford Fusion to trade in. Edit: Used to live over near there and...

I will be changing mine at 1k and filling with synthetic oil (have not selected which yet), again at 5k miles and then every 5k after. Will change filter at both of those initial intervals too. I get super cheap motorcraft filters at work and will cut them all open during the change and inspect...

This is my experience of the ordering process combined with dates. Wanted to post this so people could get a feel for what it has been like ordering during the chip shortage of 2021. Background, I have a little more inside knowledge than most as I work at the ford dealer that I ordered with. I...

Got notice today that my truck is shipped and on its long and slow journey to Houston! Cannot wait to finally have the vehicle I have already bought mods in anticipation for.. Gounna have to take a vacation day or two after it arrives so I can go into work and work on my own car instead of...

I am not a salesman, so do not quote me on this, but the dealer is able to assign a priority number to it and it goes into a ford system that calculates metrics of the dealership and takes this number into account, yet it doesn't mean yours goes next on the line. I also don't believe you can...

As someone who ordered April 27, Mine is not expected at the dealer until august 4. That is a rough estimate and my order was given a high priority number from the dealer. Id say double estimate that as a starting point, especially with the on going supply issues.

If you are ever in the Houston area and still have not found a place to install we can work something out.

Not sure where you are in Texas, but I'd be willing to install for you if you wanted. You don't have to tee it off near the CHMSL as the wire that you need to connect routes from the BCM over to the rear on right side of vehicle, you can splice in outside of the BCM and run it along the dash...

Thank you for the video, it does help a lot. I have not made a decision yet regarding which im going to get, however today we got a truck in at the shop that has your exhaust system installed on it, so I am going to test drive it tomorrow when the technician performs his post repair road test to...

Do you have any videos of It while driving? If not do you mind (safely) recording one? I am not worried about drone at idle, more so during steady city and hwy speeds. I work on a lot of vehicles during the day and getting in one to test drive it for repairs that has an aftermarket exhaust is...

Please provide an update on the exhaust sound after you get it installed. I am trying to find an exhaust that gives a little more breathing room for the truck with very little added sound into the cab.

You said you are in the Houston area, our local FSE (field service engineer) is top notch and will be able to help locate the problem. Stupid question, but has your dealership used a smoke machine to try and find the source of the water intrusion? I rarely do water leaks, but when we get...

If you don't mind, can you take a closer picture of the top of strut mount threads?

I am planning on getting a small 1 inch level for the front of mine when it comes in, however the lack of threads on the top of the strut mount bolts is kind of worrying. The teflon portion of the nut doesn't appear to even be touching the threads, so im curious if they will come loose as time...

FWIW, I work at a ford dealer, ordered a lariat tremor on April 27, on April 29 I had my vin and it was scheduled for week of June 14. After the plant closed down and reopened in May, I had the sales manager recheck the build date and It got pushed back to week of June 28. Now when looking on...

Frank, do you know if the “nostrils” that come in the 21 ranger tremor packages will fit in the raptor style grille you sell for ranger (kit vt-19rrg)?
