Done that, and they claim its the camera in the windscreen that needs calibration, I smell bullshit..

Yeah, I am getting the distinct impression that I need to move it somewhere that has a better quality service. Pretty interesting to come to Ford after 20 plus years of Euro cars across several continents and having expectations that I thought were reasonable!

So... My truck has almost from day one thrown an error when using the adaptive cruise control, says the sensor is blocked. Been to the dealer more than half dozen times and they have never fixed it. In the middle of all this I put Icons and Eibach's on, now they tell me the cruise issue is due...

I had this issue on mine, super hard shift from 10th to 5th on the highway after a sustained long climb in 9-10th and then all of a sudden I noticed a hesitation in the shifting and then it slammed into 5th. Its been to the dealer 4 times now, they can never get it to do the same thing (I really...

Another small detail that may surprise you is the running boards on the new Raptor will not be metal, instead a pultruded composite construction is going to be used.

Peer group pressure is a powerful thing..... I just ordered mine from Goosetuned about 1 minute ago!

I have both the Kuat and the 1UP racks, they are both great and whichever one you get will be a solid choice. My 1UP is a little more stable with heavy bikes, but its a little harder to load and unload (releasing the latch) The Kuat is super easy to use, it does have some rubber parts that can...

I had to cut the bolts on the rollers with mine, I managed to round out the head on the bolt instantly, it was soft like warm butter.... That was when the truck had 5,000 miles too, so no chance for corrosion etc. Solving it next week by fitting Icons and SVC bump kit. If anyone wants a very...

A d the saga continues.... I’m starting to wonder how low my expectations should be of Ford service. So far I’ve been very disappointed at every step. Had an appointment for this morning to drop it off, get a loaner and they would diagnose the issue I had shown them on video. Get there and...

Little update:- Took the truck to my local dealer in the Bay Area and they checked it and said all was good. Still heaps of ATF under the truck and they did a pretty crap job cleaning it up. Truck seemed fine after that but didn't get driven much until I drove to Park City a couple of weeks ago...

The top of the line Summit model is about 150k USD which is about the same as a bigger airstream, the Zone is way better built, more comfortable, has much better tech and can actually go to places you would want to go. They also have models that are about 65k USD and again, much better built...

They are great, just know that it’s better than anything else here at the moment, but far from perfect.

There are options for hitch length. But the balance on either option is tuned for an appropriate hitch weight. For example the zone unit that is comparable in size to the HQ19 has a hitch weight of less than 400lbs and the HQ19 is about 800lbs

Black series exist in Australia and when I reached out to some contacts there (in the game) they had a good laugh and said that black series might be great in the USA, but they are at the bottom of the pile in Australia. As a reference they also rank airstream pretty low compared to the good...

Yeah. It’s a HQ19, just sold it. Now I am looking at building the real Aussie ones here in the USA. The black series is much better than anything else you can get here, but it’s still a Chinese made pretty average quality item compared to the real deal Aussie units.

Not the best photo, but you get the idea. running the Roadmaster setup for now but changing to Icons and SVC adjustable bump kit shortly. Then I think the ultimate solution will be the Izzy fab extra shock setup. Trailer is 8k and hitch is heavy. It’s a bit of a screwup with the design, it...

I totally understand the concern for any further damage to the transmission. On the drive home today I noticed it was slow to downshift and when it did finally do it it was pretty harsh. Usually from 10th to 9th and also shifting back up. Truck is going in on Wednesday to have the rear view...

Yeah. All sorted now. Local shop in Truckee were awesome. Stayed after closing to get it all back together. I’ll take it up with Ford next week. The clamp was just not in place. So eventually the hose popped off and I get to hang on the highway waiting for a truck..

So, had a bit of a shocker yesterday. Was at Lake Tahoe and all of a sudden the service light came on and the truck was stuck in 5th. Pulled over and could see a heap of fluid dumped out and then after searching I find the hose is not connected to the cooler and it’s just dumped all the fluid...

The Opus gear is pretty nice for a full China built trailer. Keep an eye on your hubs, they have had a number of them fail recently. The rest of it looks well though out. Enjoy it!

Sometimes I do a double take when I see mine in different light, amazing how the ambient light can have such a difference on a non metallic color.
