What are you guys putting on after removing your factory Foxes? I'm kind of looking at the same predicament. I don't think I have a local rebuilder, and will need a replacement if I send them off.
Curious as to how everyone's factory Fox shocks are doing (or did) before they had to replace or have them rebuilt.
I discovered the thread talking about rebuilding a while back, and I'm at 43k right now. Everything seems fine, but I've been thinking about what my options might be when its time...
My turn! Just got my 22 Tremor back from getting the updated strategy applied from TSB 23-2350. The behavior hasn't been just horrible yet, but the shifts were harsher than they should have been. It shifts very smoothly now, but we'll see if it stays that way.
I ended up printing some hollow cones on my resin 3D printer, and used JBWeld SteelStick to "cement" them over the bolts. At least it would make it very difficult if not impossible to grab with vice grips. Not perfect, but might make it more trouble than it's worth to defeat.
I've decided that this week I'm going to take some JB Weld SteelStick, which is epoxy putty, and build up over the existing screws' washers and over the bolt head. That way I can give them a taper that will make it impossible to use a socket and very difficult to grab with pliers.
If I need to...
My 22 Lariat Tremor has a build date of 1/22, currently at 31,000 miles.
I got the LED headlights and Auto Start/Stop. No hood struts, but I do have the mount balls for them.
Issues:
- I had one door handle that was plain plastic instead of painted, fixed by dealer
- Rear driver side shock...
75 degrees, clear and sunny. Clean truck, no mods.
I agree that anything automatic related to driving has to be supervised (and I was). It just strikes me as a software issue that is definitely a safety concern.
Makes me feel a little better knowing I'm not the only one that's experienced this.
The fact I could hit Cancel then Resume and it responded immediately makes me think software...
I experienced a strange behavior today with adaptive cruise. It also happened earlier this year, but I wrote it off at the time thinking I was imagining things...
I was heading down the turnpike with adaptive cruise at 81. I noticed at some point that I seemed to be getting a little closer than...
I did because of the transmission issues people are seeing.
I went with Grainger Ford. Great pricing and easy to do. It shows in my FordPass account as expected.
Late to the thread, but my Lariat Tremor had three painted door handles and one standard plastic one. Took me a week to notice. Dealership had to order one and have it painted.
For sure, check out that TSB and make sure they check that. Also check to make sure your seatbelt buckle (both sides) aren't rattling against things. I worked through all that before I resorted to tearing into the seat.
From what I can tell, the TSB is related to the base and track components...
I've been dealing with a persistent rattle in my passenger seat. I had gone through all the threads and none of the causes applied. Not seat belt, not the base being loose (TSB), not a headrest spring.
Rattle occurred during engine start or standard driving when a passenger wasn't in the seat...
This little HyperTough from Walmart for 4.88 works like a charm too.

One thing I felt helped greatly with heat was to have the windshield tinted with LLumar AIR tint.

Anyone have recommendations for inside tailgate protection? I have the Ford bed mat and a BakFlip MX4 cover, but would like something to protect the tailgate. Already getting kind of rough from sliding things across it.
