Either way they are All Awsome Trucks. Each Gen has its own advantages and Disadvantages. Can we agree on that. HAPPY NEW YEAR

It all comes down to how you maintain it. Im not sold on the Aluminum body until I see one 12yrs of daily driving in the North East like my Gen 1. I have replaced my outer rockers and cab corners and some other touch up and it looks GREAT. When I did the rockers just a yr ago they weren't that...

It turns into powder

Same with Aluminum

As a Aviation mechanic for the pass 25 yrs. The only real advantage of Al body is light weight

Love the Gen 1. Nice Truck man. Without the over inflated prices of the other Gens you can mod that beast up any way you want it and still be cheaper than the other gens. Pay no attention to the Gen 2 people that think there's is better. Each Gen has its own advantages and disadvantages

Just curious. Do tunes take the limiter out? Not that I need to be going over 100 in a truck but for just my own stupid knowledge

Also check your lower ball joints. Like I mentioned before I replaced mine as I had a quarter inch of play on the old ones. I replaced them plus a shock rebuild and that fixed it for me

How many miles do you have on it? And have you done shock service

Shock rebuild stopped mine from doing it. I noticed when mine was new I would hammer it and it pulled hard and smooth all the way to the limiter somewhere between 100 and 115 on mt speedometer. Around 80k miles it started doing it. Did a shock rebuild and that was the fix for me

Well a day later it turned off again but it is better than before. Its more of a intermittent thing now. I've done everything I could think of and there are no codes for the camera so I quess I'll replace the camera at some point when I get some extra coin. Already spent enough this yr on my...

What kind of dyno is that? If thats a Eddy Current Type of Dyno then that is impressive. Eddy Current dyni gives real world HP. Factor in weight of vehicle plus the tire sizes etc.

LOL. You got me started in the rt direction about clearing the codes. Now I'm pretty sure I know what caused it in the 1st place. As far as the back up camera is concerned, to early to tell before I claim victory on that. And that was by help of you tube video. This is the 1st of any kind of...

Just an update if anyone interested. I saw on a YouTube video apparently this is common with all types of f150s. There's a connector rt by the E brake cable that has yellow wires. Unplugged it and replug it and as of now the camera is working again. Also did a thorough inspection and found no...

I don't think the door harness will have anything to do with the camera. The door harness branches off to the mirrors wich also is tied into the cargo lights. This backup camera is frustrating though. Amazing how much we all depend on them now. My truck never had reverse sensors so the camera is...

@Old-Raptor-guy well for now I'm pretty sure I have the puddle lights and cargo lights figured out. Any knowledge on the Back up Camera? It will turn on then shut off then turn on then off, again and again. I just changed the jumper harness and no change. Not going to shot gun a Camera or...

So I did a scan and I got B12C2 Puddle Lamp code and a B2312 Mirror Hoizontal Feed Back Potentiometer Fail. I cleared the codes and Everything is working now. The Puddle lights and the cargo lights are on the same circuit. Im thinking the main cause of all this is my drivers side door harness...

Yes, the Puddle lights if thats what there called. There stock.

@smurfslayer. Does the harness that goes through the driver side door part of the same circuit? Cause I found some exposed wires where it bends before the big connector to the door frame when I unplugged it and pulled the boot back

Thanks, I will try this as soon as I can. I haven't done any light mods though. Lighting is all stock. This just all of a sudden happened. And my back up camera sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The lights happened about 2 weeks ago and the camera started acting up a week ago. Uuuuuuuugh

How do I check DTCs? I'm assuming plugging into the BCM?

I'm praying it be that easy. What did you do that caused overloaded circuit?

its a 2011 Gen 1

I saw an old thread in this but the fix wasn't mentioned. My cargo lights in the 3rd brake light do not come on and just noticed that the lights under the rear view mirrors don't come on either. I replaced the short harness that goes from the 3rd brake light to the connector under the headliner...

And it still doesn't work
