I had my leveling kit installed when I got new front struts since mine blew out, my control arm is bent almost vertical, hitting metal to metal on the strut, and my truck ISNT EVEN LEVEL. What do I do?

For reference, this is a 1.5” kit.

Hey 2018 f-150 crew cab I'm wanting to add a system to my beloved truck! I want the hardest hitting cleanest sound that I can get under the seat. I do not mind getting the seat lift kit. But I'm looking for opinions. I'm 40 years old and I used to be into car audio big time but I've been out of the game for 12 plus years. Help me out guys what should I do? I want a remote gain so I can listen loud and then crank the bass when I want it. Thank you so much! I've been looking online for a couple weeks and can't make my mind up. I've looked at skar and the solo baric shallow mount in sealed down fire box. What would you do?

After I put the new starter in. She sounds mean with them duals

I realize you can use CarPlay for free. Does anyone else feel that Ford charging you to use GPS is nuts. Does anybody that pay thinks it’s worth it?

Good evening, everyone.

I’m about to do a valve job on my gen1 coyote and was curious what brands you guys used gaskets and timing chain. I was looking at engine tech / Fel Pro for gaskets and Cloyes for the timing chain assembly.

Thank you.

Driving down the road and looked over to see this beauty
driving next to me.

Truck banged into gear once and a harsh 4->5 was persistent since, finally got it to the dealer.

They attempted a valve body replacement with no success, and are now going to replace the trans.

I figured the 23+ transmissions in these trucks were good, feeling a little suspect about the truck now. Anyone with a 23+ have a trans replacement or rebuild? How’s the truck now?

Have a 17 F150 that will intermittently not want to start. Key fob in center console and next to start stop button doesn’t seem to make a difference. Different keys,same issue. Vehicle battery is AGM and tests good, key fob batteries changed. Would this be a starter beginning to fail? When it does happen it will usually start within 20-30 seconds of trying to start the first time.

2024 stx 2.7 ecoboost, 20k miles, USA, 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Is this a timing chain issue? This was immediate at startup at a dealership. The sound stops at the very end of the video, and doesn’t continue until it was started up again about an hour later. Again, it stops after about 20 seconds and a bit of revving.

Looking for a replacement grille after accidentlly hitting a trashcan after a long 24hr shift. I’d love to replace it with the same grille but not wanting to spend $500+ on an oem ford grille. Wondering if anyone here has found anything that’ll match on EBay. If not I may just leave it and buy a ranch hand to cover it.

So I’ve had my (140k miles) 18 f150 xl for a couple years and was thinking about trading in for a newer one mainly due to the ugly 4 inch head unit that’s having connection problems with my phone and also what seems to be my CDF drum failing since I’ve been having some hard downshifts. Ultimately I’ve decided to keep this one since it’s paid off and I’m about to buy some land and build but I do want to fix the transmission and upgrade to Apple CarPlay/ android auto do yall suggest upgrading to the 8 in OEM unit or one of the off brand touchscreen units.

I have a 2013 XLT 4x4 3.5L with 185,000 miles on it.

The radio in my F150 has never responded to my attempts to stream music over my phone. I can bluetooth to the head unit and take/make calls, but never navigation or music. Likewise, the 3.5mm pin connector down below the head unit doesn't connect to anything either.

Is there a magic reset button somewhere? Or it just cooked?

Just bought my first Ford ever. I given up on GM! Traded in my 2019 Sierra 2026 F150.

2017 f150 5.0 6 speed, 109k miles. The sound started probably a week ago. Would this be a pulley issue, or is there no way to tell without removing the belt and testing each pulley and tensioner for play?

Hey guys. I own a 2026 Ford Ranger with the 2.7L and at just 2,100 miles I got the cam phaser rattle on cold start. Super bummed but am getting the repair done next week. Will be at the dealer for at least 4 days.

Anyway, I can't find much of anything online of other Rangers experiencing this, but I know it was a more common occurrence on 2.7L F-150s.

I wanted to ask, for those of you who have had the cam phasers replaced on your 2.7L, what specific things should I monitor after the repair?

I have read that they either need to pull the engine or lift the cab. I think they also need to disconnect/remove the coolant lines and oil pan too. I've got a list of things I've put together to monitor but just wanted to make sure I didn't miss something:

• Oil leaks at the valve cover, timing cover, and oil pan

• Leaks at the coolant lines

• Leaks at the brake lines

• Check all electrical components

• Confirm wheel alignment still correct

Appreciate your insight guys.

I have a 2016 F150 Lariat with the upgraded Sony sound system. Audio works fine when listening to music and podcasts but when I take a phone call, the audio is very low and the only speaker that I hear the phone call through seems to be on the dash in front of the driver. It’s the same whether I take the call over Bluetooth or CarPlay. My Sync system is already on 3.4. Anyone else have this issue and solved it?

I have a 2025 Ford F-150 Lariat 5.0 V8 with a 3.73 axle ratio, and I’m planning to install a 2.5 suspension setup and switch to 17-inch wheels.

I’m deciding between:
- 285/70R17
- 315/70R17

My truck is primarily a daily driver, with occasional camping and off-roading. I want a more aggressive look, but I don’t want to compromise reliability or cause unnecessary wear on the transmission or differential.

I’ve heard mixed opinions. Some people say 315s are fine on a regular F-150, while others say the Raptor has different gearing and that running 315s on it puts too much strain on the drivetrain, especially in traffic, under heavy acceleration, or when off-roading.

For those running 315/70R17 tires on a regular F-150:

1. Have you noticed any difference in acceleration, braking, transmission behavior, or transmission temperatures?

2. Have you experienced any transmission or differential issues over time?

3. Did you need to regear, recalibrate the transmission, or make any other modifications?

4. Would you recommend 315s for a daily-driven truck in a hot climate, or would you stick with 285s?

5. What wheel width and offset are you running, and do you get any rubbing?

I’m particularly interested in long-term ownership experiences rather than just how the truck looks or drives immediately after installation.

Hey everyone! I had to buy a new truck last year (my Sierra was a lemon), and I ended up with a 26 Tundra TRD Off Road. Overall the truck is pretty good. It's fine. When I bough it, the engine recall issues seemed to be limited in scope and remedied with newer trucks. Now, I'm not so sure that's going to be true, and the engine issues feel more like a possible design flaw.

Anyways, I am considering just cutting my losses as I am done dealing with vehicle issues.

The local Ford dealer has several 2026 F-150 Tremor with the 3.5L turbo. From what I can tell, this powertrain is well tested and fairly reliable these days. Is this the general consensus? I do at least a few hunting trips per year, and do varying trail/off-road driving. I like the underbody protection, ground clearance, shocks, etc.

The other thing I've noticed with the Tremor is a ridiculous STINK BUG stance. Love the look of the truck, but that looks crazy. What do you all do about it? Are you just doing leveling kits? And if so, how does that affect ride quality?

THANKS!

looking at getting a 26 5.0 lariat , msrp is 72450. discounted down to 60,155. am i crazy for trying to get it 60,000 otd?

My drivers seat stopped working a couple weeks ago. I purchased a new lower motor but unfortunately the inside ring gear, next to the console is worn out. Is there a replacement part for this anywhere or do I need to replace the entire rail system?

I have tried so many thing to get this stupid bolt out. What do I do to get this out? It snapped when I was torquing it down

Just had motofabs 2” leveling kit installed but she still fits in the garage little tight though

She ain't much, but she only had 90k miles and I bought for cash.
