So I have a PPF deep pan installed, as well as an MBS dipstick, and a one-piece driveshaft. If my tranny starts to act up (it sometimes has a rough shift here and there) will Ford likely tell me to take a hike?
Yeah, I noticed some differences... perhaps differences in the truck model years? Or other feature sets? Mine's a 2019 FX4 Lariat. I note yours is a 2021... that may be the deciding factor on some stuff like the panic button...
Yeah, I'm still not seeing any update like most Android users are reporting on iOS. Here is what I see in the app history on the App Store:
So 4.35.0 was released 2 days ago for iOS. I checked to see what version I have installed:
So I have the latest, but I see no changes to my app...
Yeah, when this issue started with my truck, I was at right around 40,000 miles, so no more warranty for this. Even if I had one, though, given the horror stories I've heard about dealer experiences I'm not sure it's worth it.
A *MONTH*?? I'm just a garage tinkerer and did this entire job myself in my garage at home over a Saturday and Sunday while working at a pretty leisurely pace.
A month is ... ridiculous.
I'm so glad I did this job myself. It was a big job, but not actually all that difficult.
Here's a shot...
I believe that's the sunload sensor. It is used to determine just how intense the sun is that comes into the cab, so it can adjust the climate control accordingly. It is also used to sense when it's time to turn on the auto headlights.
Looks like they just managed to bust the top cap off of it...
Oh really? The lines coming to the lower one look like they are the same as the A/C lines inside the engine compartment. The ones going to the rear heat exchanger looked more like coolant lines. It's entirely possible I'm completely wrong, though.
No, it was only on the driver's side. If I...
There is 1 bolt that the shop manual says should be discarded and replaced with a new one. It's the bolt that holds the steering column linkage together, and I did get a new one to replace it. Ford won't sell you just 1 though, as they come in a pack of 4 - but a bag of 4 is still pretty cheap...
I completed the job of replacing my heater box this past weekend. Earlier in this thread someone (@airline tech ?) asked for a video showing the operation of the blend doors - once I had my old one out, I removed the motors from it and shot this video:
A few tips for anyone who attempts this...
I did not have any problems at all with my spacers and the Hankooks. Just didn't need them any more when I went to the MT's. Get a good quality spacer though - I went with these, and they are excellent quality.
Yes, I wound up with about 1" higher total truck height, which I consider a good thing. The MT's have a thicker sidewall design (the sidewalls protrude out farther than the Hankooks) so with the wheel spacers installed the MTs stuck out too far for my tastes. The spacers also caused the MTs to...
I'm interested in trying the global springs, but can't find a good source for them. Digging around on eBay just shows a bunch of recyclers selling them onesie-twosies. I'd be ok with used springs, but would prefer new ones... is there a source for OEM Ford global parts that won't absolutely kill...
My new heater box arrived yesterday. I'm tied up this weekend with other projects, but am planning to do this replacement next weekend. I took a bunch of photos of the new box last night. It arrived with actuators installed, and all the doors at pre-set positions. I cannot manually change the...
