Those that have had these cracks in the corner of the windshield, do the trucks involved have sun/moon roofs? Just curious.

You have relatives here. Extend the tailgate step and note how the pivoting top of the step causes the hook to disengage from the hook-shaped latch fixed to the inside of the tailgate. If you have used your step appreciably you will probably see where the hook has worn away the paint on the...

My 2011 GEN1 has never done this, so I wonder what changes were made to the F-150 AC system that might explain it.

This may help. I PM'd FordTechOne and he responded as follows: "The blend door clicking means that the HVAC Module has lost track of the blend door position, which is typically caused by a failed potentiometer inside the blend door actuator. If the battery is fully charged and you’ve done a 15...

Sir, I need your help. I inadvertently ran down a nearly new Odyssey battery to between 4 and 5 volts. The battery has recovered nicely, but as soon as I start the truck there is clicking sound from the passenger foot well - the blend door, I believe. It did this only briefly and intermittently...

Me too at 68 years of age at the time. You need a good selection of socket set extensions, a u-joint extension and/or wobble extensions, and a real good spark plug boot puller. Every one of my always garaged Raptor's spark plugs had evidence of lite rust on the threads, so some anti-seize...

Replying to my own post, but actually asking for HELP. I inadvertently ran down a nearly new Odyssey battery to between 4 and 5 volts. A few moments after turning on a 6 amp battery charger I heard a pronounced humming coming from the front left side of the cab. I quickly turned off the...

This isn't unique. Back in 2011 when I was looking at intakes for my 6.2L GEN1, I went to the Ford Parts site and compared all of the intake parts for all of the F-150 engines available in that model year. I was rather surprised to learn that all of the part numbers were the same across all...

Well, where is the smell coming from? Under the hood, from the exhaust, inside the cab...?

I have a magnetic oil drain plug in my GEN1. I think it's a smart thing to do.

Mine has been sticky at times. It required considerable force to open on occasion. It wasn't as sticky as yours, apparently, because I was able to open it by simply muscling it open. You don't need a dealer for this - it's a simple mechanical problem. I suggest two things: Put on a pair of...

In went with these for my GEN1 some years ago. Available in 10, 30, 60, and 120 degree light dispersion, I am happy with the 60 degree version. https://www.superbrightleds.com/catalog/product/view/id/204015/s/led-light-pod-2-modular-led-off-road-work-light-10w-900-lumens/category/2/

Evidently an alignment is needed after installation?

I moved 2,000 miles from northern Alabama to northern Nevada with my 2011 GEN1. I pulled all three sizes of U-Haul trailers during that move including two trips with motorcycles in the bed of the truck. The truck pulled the small and medium size U-Haul trailers quite well, but the big trailer...

Very smart. Fluids age and become more acidic regardless of use/mileage.

Right. No friction modifier is needed in the rear differential of the 2011.

The aftermarket HUDs ARE junk. I canvassed the whole market last year, and came away with the conclusion that I was better off without one. None of the ones that I was able to identify were made in the US or even in the West, all have either cryptic or unusable instructions, most all get bad...

Yup. Weep holes let condensation moisture drain. That's what they're for, and that's what they do. It's one thing that the Ford engineers got right. Then, of course, there are the differentials with no drain plugs, plastic engine and transmission pans, cam phasers...

ADM12 (for Malloy and Reed) VNTY (because that's what this is all about!)

Hey there! I've been wondering about you. I hope everything is okay in your world.

I bought my Raptor when it was a new thing (2011), there were very, very few on the road, and I lived in a science/technology/engineering town. We waved. There were very few of us. Then I moved to northern Nevada where mining gold and ranching are the principal economic drivers and everybody...

On an incline, yes. On a flat parking surface like inside the garage, lunacy.

The lights on the side can be changed, but you are probably looking at a very significant investment to do anything about the lights around the headlights. In any case, be sure to check state law. In Nevada, for example, only two pair of white light emitters are permitted, and only one pair of...
