I’m suspecting it may actually be the opposite. The leaf springs on Gen 2 deflect when torque is applied, so they will absorb some of that movement. The Gen 3 control arm rear axle maintains pinion angle, so the truck will move instead of the pinion angle.

The transmission applies 3 clutches (A, B, & D) in Park to prepare for engagement of Drive or Reverse. The drag from the clutches can create a rocking sensation in Park.

You bought it used, no telling what may have occurred with the previous owner. I see it all the time, used vehicles are always a risk, and CarFax is not liable for accidents/damage that isn’t reported. Are the tires the factory BGG KO2 or something else? Even tires with the same size specs can...

Check if all the fender liner fasteners are secure.

He posted it above.

Factory size tires?

It makes zero sense to trade a newer 2nd Gen truck for an older 1st Gen truck with the same mileage. You’d be going backward in every regard, and being in NY the rocker rust has probably already started.

No, but if they’re violating the manufacturer’s warranty agreement what other shady things are they up to? That’s enough to trigger a major audit and have their franchise pulled.

Interesting. It would be difficult to draw any correlation unless they were different viscosities (drain back slower), other than that it seems coincidental.

What he offered is against warranty policy; dealers cannot offer to perform warranty repairs on systems and components that are functioning properly. That should raise a lot of red flags. If you had recall 21B10 completed, the chances of a phaser issue drop significantly, especially if it was...

You need to make sure it has the updated calibration as well, or they will wear out again. It was recall 21B10. The old parts have not been available for years, they can only order the current part numbers.

The irony is tacos have drum brakes, talk about ****** OE brakes :jester:

They issued a recall for the builds that were affected. If yours doesn’t have the recall, it’s good to go.

This is the a thread on the Livernois heads and cams. Tuning is also is a major issue. https://www.fordraptorforum.com/threads/livernois-head-cam-package-power-loss-confusion.83075/page-8

If you leave the key in the ignition that will drain the battery; that’s normal due to the key in ignition switch.

“What you are told” by whom? Once again you have provided zero information on what actually occurred aside from your unfounded accusation that your truck has a defect/recall that only affected earlier builds. It seems you’re more interested in ranting on the internet than actually finding out...

U0253 is an erroneous APIM network communication DTC most likely attributable to high network traffic. The APIM will not affect the VDM operation. Since the ride quality is more subjective, I would try and duplicate the issue where the drive modes cannot be changed. That may lead down a more...

The PCV system is integrated with the valve covers. It wasn’t an external oil leak issue; the earlier valve covers were not allowing proper PCV flow. Since your build date was 05/19, you already have the updated valve covers, so you just need the PCM calibration update.

“All of the 2014s are coming back with this fault”? :facepalm: So these are vehicles that were unaffected by the lead frame issue, and this guy has millions of F-150s, Expeditions, and Navigators lined up in his parking lot? Please stop with the dramatizations, you lose all credibility when you...

If the shocks were defaulting to full stiff it would be very noticeable, so it sounds like you’re fine. I haven’t done the update to confirm, but if it’s riding well I wouldn’t be concerned with it.

There is a service bulletin for oil consumption. It’s a software update and possible valve cover replacement depending on build date.

The knock sensors will generally pick up the knock and the PCM will retard timing before it ever becomes noticeable to the driver.
