Before you start throwing parts at it, are you sure that’s even the issue? The blend door actuator is a common culprit but it could be a number of other things too. Ford issued a TSB for the HVAC distribution box. It can become warped and cause the actuator to stick. Have you checked the...

It’s a known issue with these trucks, but there really isn’t any warning. The support hose that holds the wires for the clutch assembly is either broken or it isn’t. I happened to catch that mine was ripped while changing my oil a while back and repaired it before any damage occurred. As far as...

Honestly, I’d recommend just replacing the harness. Couple reasons for this. 1) Every splice you put in a wire is a potential failure point down the road. Especially on a vehicle where things are moving and shaking around all the time. 2) The wire wasn’t cut, it was ripped apart from a rock or...

It shouldn’t… Mine starts in 1, shifts to 2, then 3. The only time it skip shifts is in normal drive mode.

Mine does this in sport mode as well. If you switch from normal driving mode to sport and don’t press any buttons, it’ll upshift/downshift on its own. As soon as you start manually upshifting or downshifting gears with the +/- buttons, the truck stops shifting on its own. If I’m in sport mode...

I had a similar problem a few years ago. I spent hundreds of dollars in diagnostic fees taking it to several different shops, but nobody could find anything wrong. I even took it to a suspension specialist who took everything apart and went through every single nut and bolt. He said everything...

Could just be one of those gremlins that popped up. My truck did this once a while back after getting the transmission fluid & filter changed. Never got a check engine light though. I put it in neutral, waited a second, then shifted back to reverse and it was fine. Only happened the one time...

This must be the guy who wired everything back up!

Noticed my skid plate hanging down when I changed the oil last weekend, one of the bolts had snapped. In trying to seat a new bolt and tighten things back up, I noticed the tow hook bracket was all bent out of shape and I couldn’t get it to line back up. Then it occurred to me that I haven’t...

I currently have a 3.5” lift installed that came with a differential drop bracket to correct the CV angle. I’m just switching from a poor man’s lift (strut spacers) to a coilover style. Ride height will stay the same plus or minus 1/4”. Currently running 33” tires but might upsize when these...

I didn’t read the whole story, but that’s definitely possible. Nobody cares about their employees anymore. Everyone is disposable and if they can find a person or machine to replace you that doesn’t cost them as much money, they won’t even think twice. They don’t care if you’ve been there for 15...

I have a trailer that’s about the same size. Even though the truck pulls it with no issues, I would still recommend getting a weight distribution hitch. It really smooths out the ride and takes the bounce out of the rear end when you go over bumps. I was skeptical how much they really helped...

I’m in the same boat, I think I’m going with the Eibach 2R system. I’ve heard really good things about them and their customer service has been great with all the questions I’ve been asking them. I like that the struts are adjustable up to 3.75 inches. Really allows you to dial the exact amount...

I’d be willing to bet it wasn’t just about a cookie, they were looking for a reason to get rid of him. Something very similar just happened to my brother in law. He had been working at this bar for like 15 years and pretty much ran the place. New owners bought it and put new management in place...

Hopefully that’s the end of your troubles and it serves you well going forward!

I went with Rock Trix 17x9 +12 offset. Budget friendly price and they look nice with the black grille guard and bed rack I have. As someone who has dealt with RC’s lack of quality and failed parts (numerous times), I would caution against using their products. Their stuff looks cool in pictures...

If it’s leaking, it’s only going to get worse. It might not need immediate replacement but yes, it does need to be replaced. I’d say sooner than later but that’s just me.

What were your symptoms with fourth gear? I’m noticing a lurch/delayed shift between three and four with mine. If I drive it in tow or sport mode and keep the RPM’s over 2500, I can avoid it and get it to shift ok. I’m also out of warranty so whether I address it now or later, I’m out of pocket...

In your case, I’d go by what the auto store said. If they load tested it, that’s the most accurate way to check a battery. Did you ask what kind of test the dealership did? If they just put a multimeter on it and said “yup, there’s juice” that’s not an accurate battery test. You need to put it...

This is just another reason on our long list why we’re planning on leaving CA as soon as physically possible. Before I get myself in trouble here, all I’m going to say is that we’re DONE with this state. My wife and I have both lived here our whole lives, we can’t take anymore of this BS...
