Parking is really getting crazy at ATL

Yessir

I had my timing cover replaced, just at the end of the 5y/60k warranty, because of a failed press-fit bearing running the 1920’s technology fan shaft/clutch. The new timing cover has a more robust pulley ear. Ford has known about that issue, per my tech rep.

Well well well. One way or another, it was the angle after all.

That sensor array is used in pretty much all fords from that era. It does adjust. I know this because this same thing happened to me.

Grab the whole thing and tilt it. You’ll hear a click. Most likely, it’s tilted too far down. But try different directions with it. The hex screws just torque the angle bracket bolt.

Just try what I’ve suggested

It’s not the windshield camera. That camera doesn’t feed data to collision or cruise control modules. It’s that sensor down below the bumper. Now, if the mounting studs were out on one side, it got bumped pretty good. There is a tilt adjustment for that whole sensor. It has an indexed lock...

I’ve got a stock exhaust with essentially zero miles on it from my 2020, but I’m down here in Atlanta. I’d give it away just to get it out of my house.

Direct drive / clutch controlled fan. Yesterday‘s technology today.

Beats my 757 off the line, but the eventual .86 Mach barber pole blows the doors off it.

Would switching back to stock tune and then again to Ford performance tune accomplish this?

I’ve had issues with the wired CarPlay working off and on. I simply unplug the USB on the truck side and plug it back in. If that doesn’t work, I’ve swapped USB ports and that almost always gets things connected. It hasn’t been an issue enough for me to dig into anything looking for a permanent...

Is there not an aftermarket module available to disable ASS?

not that I know, but you should use premium gas with the FPT or it might not operate as well.

I have all those bits, and the Roush. Easy to clean and generally a solid setup.

I installed the tune myself over 5 years ago. No issues at all since. I did toss the K&N mess for a Roush intake shortly after.

Yes, it is, with only four weeks or 4000 miles till the end of the powertrain warranty. I got a F150 as a loaner vehicle and I have to say I can’t believe this is the number one selling vehicle in America. It drives like absolute dog shit. They do say that only 10 to 15% of full-size truck...

Whelp (*slaps knee), it’s the fan pulley bearing, so we know what that means.

Wow, that’s a lot of different things to look at / inspect. I’ll be leaving this at the dealer to figure out. I will say this: the fan hub shaft seems to exhibit some play as it’s spinning. I see the fan sensor support “tube” shaking around quite a bit at warm up and even as the engine settles...
