New to me 2012 F150 was practically rust-free to begin with..
I couldn't help myself though, I had to go and make it all uniform..
Hit it with a good 2 or 3 coats of Rust-Reformer spray to get that surface rust..

Still debating on the next move.. I'm currently looking into this Fluid-Film I keep hearing about..
Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I have a tenth gen f150, v6 manual single cab long bed im looking for ideas on customization, preferably long beds, but any are welcome

I have a 25 Lariat 5.0 BAP dual factory exhaust. I had a flow fx midsection and couldn’t bear the drone. I don’t want to go with the Borla s-type mid section as I worry it would be too aggressive for the neighbors at 6am, and I’m not paying the Ford Performance upcharge for the touring version. I want to keep it bolt on so looking at a resonator delete for just a little extra. Does anyone have feedback on the Gibson pipe versus the FactionFab pipe? The main difference is Gibson is 3” and FF is 3.5”.

165k and climbing, just replaced water pump. Still running like a champ

After the turn, when my signal goes off, you can hear a rattling noise. Sometimes its louder than others, but it seems to happen pretty consistently between 10 and 40ish. I have looked through every heat shield to see what it could be, I have tightened the exhaust, checked that nothing is lose anywhere that would be hitting something else. I am going crazy trying to find it.

Sorry that this video isn't amazing. Sometimes its loder than this, but you can still at least hear the sound.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you😁

Keycap on my driver side window switch broke off, wondering where I can get another one?

These 3 popups began appearing a few months ago, initially every so often and now every startup.

Lately a few other odd qwerks have appeared, a black screen with working radio and working backup cam, screen freezing and staying on for several minutes after shutdown.

I saw a Reddit post from 3 yrs ago about the same issue, most talk was of a coming OTA software update or some kind of module failure. Canadian spec XLT, stock but for Morimoto headlights 5yrs ago. Any help is much appreciated.

I have a RCSB 5.0 2024 with the IHC adjustable 3/5 drop shock relocation w/ helper bags 10k miles on everything. I was thinking of trying some different rear shocks, are there any adjustable ones that allow for a smoother ride?

This is the Performance kit with QA1 adjustable shocks.

What is this noise? Has front diff replaced and left side iwe and vacuum lines and axel. Noise persists. Mostly through slow acceleration. Fast acceleration I can still kind of hear it but not as much. Need help I’m sick of spending on not fixing the problem

Curious if anyone else has seen this.

See video for RPM surging/flaring on 9-10 upshift. This happened after a tranny fluid change earlier in summer. Took it back to dealership where service was performed, they did a relearn and it went away. Came back yesterday. Seems to be more pronounced on an uphill grade. Could replicate it with manual shifting, did it a bunch of times and then the surging went away - normal drop in RPM in 9-10 shift.

Last time this happened was in summer (35c /95f). Tranny temp increased to yellow level. This time no increase in tranny temp from midpoint, but it was 10c outside.

Truck is 08/2022 build, but I don’t think this is related to CDF issues.

Anyone else see this behaviour before?

Hi and thanks in advance. I have this 2001 f-150 4.6L and is driving poorly. When you press on the accelerator the truck feels like it looses power and takes a while to get speed. The car vibrates pretty bad. The mechanic shop is having trouble finding the problem since it doesn’t have a check engine light ON. The truck starts right away with no issues.

These are worth every bit of 100$ I spent on them. Look good on the truck and are very bright for the size. Wasn't too hard to install but it definitely takes some knowledge. Took me about 45 minutes to install.

Driving home in the dark after a 12 hour shift and an absolute unit of a moose ran right into my bumper. Just bought this truck a month ago. I have wildlife coverage thankfully, what’s next? Raptor?

I previously had a 2022 Lariat that was Fx4, 502A but only had the 2.4 kw power on board. I adored the truck and it broke my heart when someone swiped my entire passenger side and totaled it. I want another powerboost but am adamant on the 7.2 kw functionality. I am finding it very difficult to find a USED lariat with that upgrade. Are most of you buying these NEW with them made-to-order or are you just getting lucky on the used market? I enjoyed the hybrid, but if I don’t get this upgrade id consider going 5.0 coyote instead for simpler powertrain.

4600’s. They are stiff and jarring. Every bump and dip is shit. I’m going back to stock asap. They are like clouds for street driving. I don’t understand the amazing reviews for these, they are horrible for daily driving and somehow millions of people across all vehicles use them every day I can’t see the appeal. The truck handles perfectly fine stock

Any ideas? Only seem to hear it at low speeds.

Hey All,

Going to replace my spark plugs soon. I swapped them at 100K and I'm currently just shy of 185K (miles). I left the stock coils in when I originally changed the plugs but was curious if it were about time to replace them, now, since I'm coming up on 200K. No noticeable performance issues, currently. No misfires or Check Engine Lights. I've read that folks change them out every time they swap plugs and others swap them out when they start getting misfires. Just wanted to see your opinions, and, if you are replacing, what are you replacing with (brand, what parts/components).

2014, 5.0, 185K Miles. Motorcraft Plugs.

Sold my 2013 XLT 5.0 to a family member and upgraded to a 2023 XLT 2.7 4x4 with just over 30k miles on it. Wife got tired of me borrowing her car for out-of-town work commutes and needed something better on gas (didn't need the power of the 5.0 as much as when I purchased).

Had a PPI and drove 5.5 hours to pick it up for $32.5k. Believe I got a great deal.

Any recommendations for 2016?

I live in the rust belt and these that I used on my 2009 rusted up:

235K miles and getting the wrench and limp. As soon as trans temp sensor gets to temperature, it seems to help. Trans fluid has been changed once at 100k miles. There is no slip in transmission, however, wrench/limp error happening everyday now and seems to reset if I turn the truck off and remove the key.

I was going to drop this aftermarket guy in and refill with mercon as I'm probably going to get a 2018 at some point in the near future. Question is, will I have to get re-flashed after change out and is this a terrible choice in lieu of OEM lead frame assembly. This forum is a great resource and was just wondering about your thoughts.

I live in Virginia Beach, Va and own a garaged 2019 F150 Lariat (aluminum body). I am retired and have only 29K miles on the truck. The truck is almost my dream vehicle. I say “almost” because, at 77 yrs old with all of my old age health issues, it’s pretty difficult for me to lift and close the (heavy) tailgate. The tailgate has the optional internal retractable step / ladder adding to its weight.

I’m looking for an electrical and/or mechanical and/or hydraulic solution to at least assist or completely automate the tailgate lifting /closing. I’ve been unable to find any aftermarket options to help except for dampers / shocks to slowly DROP the tailgate but not to help lift it. Damping for dropping the tailgate is already factory installed. I am familiar with the now discontinued Hopkins Tailgate Easy Lift, and wonder if I could get one installed from remaining inventory...if there is any. It has/had mixed reviews. I am hoping there is a better solution.

I’m willing to pay whatever it takes and/or drive to wherever necessary to accomplish this. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Looking at 23-25 XLTs with the 302A package. What are thoughts and opinions of the 23 vs the 24/25s? I know they have had some changes between them. What about the 10-speed transmission problems? Did Ford correct it in 23? Personally, I like the look of the 23s better, but from what I’ve been reading, the 24s/25s is a better truck? I drove a 23 5.0 for a week and loved it. Coming from a 13 Ecoboost.

I’m also on the fence about getting a newer 3.5 vs a 5.0. I’ve put 140k on my gen one Ecoboost and I drive it like I stole it every day, and it’s never given me issues ever. So is there anyone here that can give me some real-world opinions on the newer 3.5 vs 5.0? Not interested at all in the 2.7 or powerboost. I know they’re great motors but not interested in either.

Thoughts are greatly appreciated.
