Thanks for the heads up on "priming" the larger cooler. I already know to do that, not my first rodeo. Used to be a big gearhead in high school and when I was too poor to take my vehicles to a shop.
I went ahead and ordered a gallon of the Ford Mercon LV to have some on hand. I also plan on...
Ordered the larger transmission oil cooler a couple days ago. I tow a 6'x8' enclosed cargo trailer a few times a year when I go camping. I don't load it down too much but I didn't like how hot the transmission got the last time I towed...
Dropped the pan on the transmission and replaced it with a pan that has a drain plug. Replaced the filter and refilled with 7qts new fluid. Also replaced the factory dipstick with a B&M transmission dipstick. I had a fluid pump that made the job easier and did not make too much of a mess. I...
I paid $60k for my 2014 SCAB with 21,800 miles on it. I'm now at 34k miles. This is my daily driver and I don't treat it like a pavement princess. I plan on keeping this until I die or get offered a stupid amount of money for it. I've already had 2 notes left on my windshield asking if I was...
I upgraded the reflectors on the mirrors to turn signals. The yellow reflectors were bugging me so I ordered a set of smoke colored signals off ebay. The wiring was too short for the turn signals so, I had to splice in 6" of wire. Other than that, the kit was pretty straight forward to install...
I won't be able to tackle this on my own. I don't have any way to recharge the nitrogen. Any reputable shops I can ship them off to get rebuilt? I don't need a super fast turn around since my current shocks are in great shape.
Good information. The Ford Service Tech guy, didn't mention that my 2014 was not part of the warranty replacement. I made an appointment for end of September to have it swapped out.
I just picked up a set of 4 Fox Shocks, both front and rear for under $500 and they need a rebuild. How involved is a rebuild with typical hand tools or is this something better left to professionals? I am in the San Antonio area and have no issue with dropping them off at a recommended shop to...
I'm at a 6+ week wait on mine. I got the wrench symbol also but it was unrelated to the lead frame since I was able to shift through all gears. It actually turned out to be the throttle response/ pedal commander I had installed. To get the symbol to go away, I unplugged the battery, removed the...
Well, I'm about six weeks out from being able to get the lead frame replaced under the extended warranty. Supply chain issues and them being swamped with appointments are the excuses I got.
The wrench symbol has not returned ,so I'm inclined to believe it was the throttle controller. It was...
Yeah I forgot to mention that I had that installed. I wasn't even thinking about it until it was mentioned earlier in this discussion. I plan on taking it to the Ford Dealership up in New Braunfels on Tuesday and have them look it up to see if the lead frame was replaced.
Well it is definitely not the lead frame. I got the wrench symbol again. The transmission was i 6th gear on the highway and went through all of the gears when I slowed to pull over at the exit. I hooked up the OBDII reader and still got no codes at all. I had a pedal commander type module...
Finally got around to doing the Fuse 27 Relocation and wow, I did not realize how much of a pain in the ass it was to pop open the fuse box. Had to pull on it pretty hard while pulling out on the snaps that hold it all together. I needed at least four hands and plenty of swear words to get it...
That's the feeling I got from my research. Since I found the information on the extended warranty for the lead frame, I'll take it in to one of the Ford Dealerships that can get it in quicker than the one that quoted me six weeks yesterday.
Also got the fuse 27 relocation done today. Pain in...
Good to know. I guess I'll get it done. When the wrench light came on, I was crusing at 40mph in 6th gear, but the transmission did cycle through all gears with no problems. I had a stop light and a couple stop signs on the road home.
Found extended warranty information for the lead frame, so...
Truck is completely stock 32,000 original miles with absolutely no mods at all. I bought it with 21,870 miles on it. The truck is pristine. It looks like the original owner only took it out on the weekends and it looks like it was never off-road at all. I have the fuse 27 relocation kit, so I'll...
Was driving home from work Sunday evenenig and the "wrench" symbol light came on and the truck went into "limp mode". I turned off the radio and AC rolled down the windows to listen for anything out of the ordinary. Couldn't hear anything. Luckily, I was on the backroads to my house with a 35mph...
I filled up from 1/2 tank at the Bucee's in New Braunfels for $3.999 gal Monday night after the wife and I went to watch Thor at the Drive-in. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled in.
