That's all good information. So not Sport mode, just lock out 9 & 10 and use tow mode. I do not have tow mirrors. I tried that a few years back(cheap ones) and did not get a decent few so I put in a camera on the back of the trailer. That's far better than the mirrors, for driving and especially...
The PPE pan is on my maybe list after I study temperatures for a while. I've never heard of Red Line Water Wetter and I'm trying to understand how that could increase heat transfer. Interesting. You drive 60mph? If I drove 60 I would surely stay out of trouble but I would love to stay more in...
Good thoughts. I got my ScanGauge today so I’ll be watching temps, except I won’t be towing soon. All in good time.
55 square feet is not much; I'm at 84. I never knew Ford spec'd that. And I don't drive 62mph, more like 65-67. I always use tow mode, which keeps the rpms up a little, but maybe...
I hope you've found something that works since you posted. I've used the Amazon clip-ons with an eight foot wide travel trailer and I was not happy with the view. I bought a wireless rearview camera and mounted that on the back of the trailer and it's a world of difference on the road and...
No doubt many of our smart answers come from our redneck members! I grew up with family in the big city and family on the farm and they're all good!
Real Everyday Dude Nimbly Engineering Captivating Kit - that's on target!
Yeah I usually stay around 66mph but we live in Atlanta and when I get close to home on the Interstate I find myself going 80 briefly just to stay clear of trouble! Why do I still live here? haha
Yes, I use 93 octane always and I plan to start watching all the temps - head, intake air, trans, oil , radiator, and boost pressure. I am ordering a ScanGauge III, it looks perfect for this. Thanks for the confirmation on the 4600s. I will wait to see how they feel before I consider the Sumos...
I have a WDH, Redarc brake controller, I always punch the trailer button when towing. My trailer is 8' wide by 10'6" and weighs 4100# dry and generally about 5k loaded. The ride is level with the WDH but the ride comfort could be better. I have original stock shocks and am considering putting on...
Could you also connect it directly to the alternator hot side, with a fuse of course? I am thinking about what it would take to have the truck charge the rv battery if it gets low boondocking. Maybe a 40 amp DCtoDC wired(6ga/8ga?) from the alternator to an Anderson connector at the bumper, using...
"Differential Pressure Feedback EGR" DPFE replacement solved my rough shifting issue over a year ago. If you Google "DPFE sensor location" you'll see a set of pictures that are clear, with red arrows to help. Here's one. Also some videos. I did mine in 15 minutes after I got the truck, tools...
I've had crummy extended mirrors and now have a camera on the RV with a wireless monitor on my dash. It's a much better view than the mirrors and the camera seems to stay pretty clean, maybe because it is high up above the spray. I'll echo the comment above about always using the tow mode. We...
Strobes, the Redarc unit that Ford recommends is good. I had that one put in and got them to install the controller in place of one of the 12v power plugs. Here's a picture of the install. It is easy to see and to reach and looks nice, and who needs two 12v plugs on the dash? Not me. I tow a...
I just replaced the EGR Pressure feedback sensor and the truck immediately started driving like it should, very smooth. The job took me 20 minutes. The price seems to be going up. At the start of these discussions here I think the price for the bare part was $12 or so, here is the best price I...
