My light has stayed off since I cleared it but I have also been trying to routinely do 30mph to 75mph pulls with WOT after the cats warm up as a quasi-desulfurization procedure. Cats are expensive so I would try the desulfurization and cataclean as nikhsub1 suggested before resigning yourself to...
I was really concerned with 90k miles as Ford change interval tops out at 100k and all the Internet advice says Ecoboosts are hard on plugs. Looking at the plugs in this thread I don't know how anyone can conclude that the plug life is much different from most other engines.
BUT WAIT, there's more! I left my WIFI auto-update on and a couple of days after I updated via USB I saw the update icon again and clicked it to find out my truck had done a WIFI update overnight! I checked the version and it still showed the same version as I had updated with the USB drive. So...
Thanks Joe, Great information, I really appreciate it! This gives me a lot to think about. I might start with changing fuel stations for a couple of tanks if the code comes back to eliminate that as a possibility. Rockauto doesn't list any OE cats so not sure what brand people would recommend.
I'm at 89k miles. Is the downstream sensor easy to get to? Is that drivers side cat or the passenger side? I thought about giving that a shot before I went with a new cat. Would a new cat require welding or is it just two bolted flanges? I would crawl under there to take a gander but the skid...
Thanks for the information, I'll have to give that a shot. I did JUST switch to 91 oct from 87 oct for the summer so I'm suspicious if there is a correlation. I think this is second completely premium tank I've run.
Just got a P0420 code on my way home from work. I've seen on here a lot of speculation between bad fuel, bad cats, and bad O2 sensors. I didn't see many long term updates or resolutions. Some even got repeated CELs after replacing the cats. Can anyone share what finally fixed their issue or...
Great call, I didn't even notice the logo!
From what I have read here, it seems that Eibachs to level the front is a pretty normal choice? GordoJay's comment makes me wonder though....
I was hoping some of the experts on here could help me determine how my truck is leveled? I bought it 9 months ago and the previous owner had it leveled but didn't really know specifically how it was done. I didn't think the Gen 2s have several spring perches like the Gen 1s so I have been...
Update - I was able to get Sync updated to the latest Ford approved software. It seems the difference maker was the flash drive I was using. The flash drive I used originally was unlabeled. I took a shot and bought a SanDisk brand flash drive to see if the Sync was that finnicky. Same formatting...
That absolutely helps! Thank you for the information! So is Cyanlabs update not good for anything after the 2020 APIMs then? Or is this simply an issue with the manual style of update rather than using the updater software? For whatever reason the 2020+ warning only appears on the manual update...
Actually just watched one of the videos Cyanlabs posted about the procedure and when he talked about some owners who didn't realize their previous APIM modules had been replaced by Ford accidentally bricking their units it got me thinking. I went through the previous owner's records and sure...
I was putting off buying a new laptop for as long as possible but it looks like between Forscan and Cyanlabs I'm going to have to make the jump. My work laptop is locked out of any installation without admin permissions. My wife has a nice Mac but that looks to be just as problematic maybe? as...
I purchased my 2018 Screw back in September 2023 and didn't realize till the other day that the Sync system could be updated. Naturally I first attempted to do so using the Wifi connection which each time just ends with the system logging the "check for updates" attempt and doing nothing else. I...
