The fact that there’s rust on the plastic fender flare would likely indicate it’s rail dust.
Use a clay bar or an iron removing product like stated above
I remember reading in a previous forum post that people were able to locate the PID to be able to monitor transmission temp while using apps like OBDlink+ or Torque.
I’ve got both apps, but I’m unable to get this functioning. Any step by step guides, or pointers? My preferred app would be...
I’ve had enough of all the cab noise in my truck. It’s noticeably louder than my f150 was. I’ve started pulling the door panels, installing a Noico sound deadener, then topping it off a Noico foam sound deadener. Haven’t had a chance to drive it yet.
This is what I tow. It’s 21’ in total, and about 4000lbs loaded. I use a WD hitch, as well as I’ve equipped the truck with SumoSprings. It’s been really good to us, I generally lock it out of 8/9/10 gears on the highway, and stick to 110kph. We’ve been all over the mountains with it, an the only...
I’ve had airbags on all my previous trucks, to help with load leveling. The last truck was a 2016 f150, and I installed a on board compressor to allow the bags to be filled on the go. While it was a handy feature, I was tired with leaks and line failing at -40C. I decided to try an alternate...
It’s mostly condensation. I check mine every fill up in the winter time, and typically end up emptying it, since it’s 1/3-1/2 full. It’s very normal in cold temps, up here it’s usually -20C to -30C. Once it warms up in the spring and summer, I can go 6 months without emptying the catch can...
If you put it in tow/haul, the truck will still go into the higher gears, it doesn’t lock them out. When you have gauges to monitor, you’ll see elevated water temps, and higher boost pressures, while in the higher gears.
A weight distribution hitch goes a long way. Lock out 8/9/10 gears, it will use substantially less boost on the highway, and improve milage/reduce lugging the engine. In reality, you’re not even taxing the truck with an open flat deck trailer, towing a car like that.
I’ve got the MBRP. The price was cheap, like $500 canadian. Which is like $75 USD. You certainly know it’s there, but I wouldn’t call it loud by any means. No one who has ridden in the vehicle has ever mentioned that it’s louder. That includes the girlfriend, and we just spent about 60+hrs in...
Sorry to revive an old thread, but what are you guys using to monitor trans temps? I’ve got a OBDII Gauge, But it doesn’t seem to pick up anything for the transmission
