2021 XLT at around 13k miles I blew a lower Rat hose 4 months ago it had rubbed on an edge of the frame, just a slice but these trucks have a good Brain, it let me know fluid was low, then as it over heated the truck reduced power then it went into some strange Limp home mode and would only let me do 5 MPH, but way before any damage it will turn your truck off and it did because I was 5 miles from an exit, its probably not a good thing to do often because head gasket and other things that would be stressed...
I use a bluetooth dongle and a 12.2 samsung tablet to monitor different things, and have made different screens for city highway and towing
this is a catch all screen of the strange ones I watch
look at the fuel rail pressure LOL I am use to seeing 17 to 45 PSI in some of my old ass P.O.SI was like NFW

I thought that was a picture from an airplane cockpit.
Fuel pressure will be high because we have direct injection, sort of like a diesel where the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder.
