Another revival for the towing curious; do you know if the 'heavy load' version of the OME kit has higher rate springs in the front AND rear? The marketing language indicates it is for a vehicle with a winch in the front, which makes me think the rear springs are the same in both kits.
Short highway trips do not return the best MPG, especially during commuting hours when speeds vary. Doesnt sound like a truck issue to me either.
FWIW I get 24mpg highway, 18 in town, and 10-14mpg towing my TT. Which is 8ft wide, 22ft long and 5000#
The app for CAT scales makes weighing at a truck stop really really easy. I weighed the whole setup before dropping off the camper for new tires, then went back in just the truck. I wanted to know how much my TT actually weighed, and surprisingly my OEM sticker was pretty accurate.
If you have...
OP could you clue us in to your use profile? Any off-roading or towing on these intervals?
Thanks for posting these, makes me feel good about running 5k-6k on Motorcraft
I am happier with my trans performance now at 21k compared to 10k miles ago. The delayed shifts while cold are just it being cold, I dont worry about that or push it when its warming up. Locking out higher gears like someone else mentioned has made things much more normal around town and while...
Does the drain exit the firewall on the vertical portion or where it starts to curve to make the transmission tunnel?
Can you help with what I am looking for? A small black rubber tube? A metal one?
How far does it protrude from the firewall? 1 inch? more...?
I crawled under and it seems...
What does the outlet hose look like? Is it just a open ended hose jutting from the firewall? Is it pointed downward or horizontal? Can it be located from underneath the truck or from above? Does any heat shielding or other parts need to be removed in order to find it and shove a long zip-tie up...
To update my experience, I just towed my camper again and it worked as intended from the initial hookup no calibration needed this time... fun little gizmo to keep an eye on. Im going to keep a close eye on my 7-pin connector to make sure it is clean and greased each tow to eliminate that...
I recently experienced the same issue with the same brake controller. I installed it myself a few months ago (dealership wanted $1000 to do it) and towed my camper 1000 miles on 3 different trips and it worked flawlessly.
Last week when I hooked up it was flashing green/blue and did not...
FWIW I found my 2021 with FX4 package to have 3(!!) different types of tires on it on the lot as I was about to purchase it. So it wouldn't surprise me if this was a factory screwup, only correct one for the trim was the spare.
