CA requires one, and I have been pulled over and warned for not having one. Although I have not been ticketed myself for this I know several people that have been. It is totally the officers call, some don't care about it, others see it as another reason to interface with you that day. Some...

As long as it is hot my drivers seat cooling will stay on after I hit the start button. And if it is cold my drivers seat heater (and wheel) will come on with remote start, and stay on until I turn them off. If the passengers seat was on the last time I turned off the truck then it will also...

I am sure you could buy parts and make something like this work, what I meant by "I don't think there is a fix for this" is that it is not an error or broken, so there is really nothing to fix. If your truck does not have these lights I am sure you could find the parts necessary to install such...

Among other electronics I have been collecting test equipment, including microwave stuff, for a few decades. While some of my hardware may not have fancy readouts and displays (and other of my stuff does) there is no reason it can't be used. We did measurements just fine before digital was a...

Signal generator, feedhorn (for each band, one at a time) mounted in this location, and a spectrum analyzer in front of the vehicle. I am an RF systems engineer. T!

I don't think there is a fix, as this appears to not be an error or something broken, these appear to be not illuminated by design. Why Ford changed the design to have them not be illuminated is not known, or at least has not emerged in any forum I have seen. I suspect, just my guess, that...

I considered doing this myself, however I decided this was not the best fit for me. In the above case the relay provides one polarity when the vehicle is turned on, and the opposite polarity when the vehicle shuts off. A time delay relay then disconnects voltage X seconds after the vehicle is...

The left antenna is a Diamond NR770 dual band 2m/70cm, the center antenna is a Diamond M685 6m, the right antenna is, as you have IDed, a Comet CA-2x4SR. I use the Comet as a scanner antenna (Uniden BCD536HP with GPS). Not installed yet at the time of those pictures is a Tarheel 75A for HF...

I really like that, I wonder if there is a market for such? And maybe mobility scooters as well? T!

I wanted to do the same thing, I have a power lifting light bar, and I wanted to be able to control it with the built in upfitter switches. In my case I am using the bar to lift and lay down antennas, not lights. The goal is that with the antennas layed down the tallest part of the truck is...

Hmmm, the key on the left in your pictures, my 2018 did not come with one of those? The one on the right, the one in the key fob, works both my spare tire lock and door locks. As to the rest, as others have said, the Upfitter switches should not leave any power on when the truck is off...

I have installed a Uniden BCD536HP scanner in my 2018 SCREW. But I ran out of daylight tonight before I could get it hooked up to power. Radio is installed, speaker, antenna feed line, etc, but power not hooked up (will be using one of the upfitter switches). So temporarily I have plugged the...

As nikhsub1 said, the drivers door jamb, however this will only give you the month and year, not the day, of the build. So if your truck was built in March it should say 03/18. But (if the 2/26/18 date of changeover is correct) since part of the Feb production would have plastic and the last 2...

Yes, I actually did change my oil. The oil pan was, as one might expect, directly under the engine, bolted to the bottom of the engine block, and pretty easy to identify. And neither the transmission pan nor the transfer case look anything like what is shown in that picture. I have seen...

pax? T!

When was yours built, and did you just notice it or have you known for a while? T!

To me it looks just like the 2015-16 3.5 L pan. I wonder if this is the fix for the leaking pans a few people have had? T!

Howdy all. So I have had my Lightning Blue 2018 SCREW / 802A / Tec pkg (I think March 02, 2018 build date, but not sure) for about a month. In that time I have put 2800 miles on it, about 400 of them off road. I really meant to change my break-in oil at about 1200-1500 miles, but I have had...

Anyone have a guide to removing the center console bezel? I have seen a couple of pictures of it removed, and a description that says "pry up to release clips and pull back hard", however when I try this it appears it may be connected at the dash end and does not come free. Am I just afraid...

Never had a problem with what? Blendmounts like yours, attached to the mirror and hanging below the mirror, are seldom a problem. It is arguably legal. I was talking about windshield mounts being ticketable. CVC 26708 (a)(1) states clearly that it is illegal to attach anything to the...

^^^This. Don't think drive ratios as much as rolling resistance caused by wider and more aggressive tires, and the increased air turbulence under the vehicle and what it does to drag at highway speeds. On a previous vehicle I lifted it 6 inches, but the new tires and wheels were not coming in...

Howdy all, Had the 2018 SCREW 802A / Tech Pkg for a bit over a week now, starting to get things installed. One of the first things that goes in any of my vehicles is a radar detector. But, this is California, and radar detectors cannot, legally, be mounted on the front windshield in any way...

Howdy all, This week I am going to start installing radio gear in my 2018 SCREW. 3 radios to start with (2M/70cm, HF+6M, and BCD536HP scanner) with probably more coming. I like clean, out of sight, installs, with no visible cables and preferably the control heads out of sight until...

OK, so today I stopped by a southern California dealer that has 8 Raptors on the lot, all SCREWs with 802A and tech package. None of them had lighted PRNDM letters on the console. I am having trouble believing that this is an accident. Did Ford make a change? Could this be tied to a...

Howdy all, first post here, just joined the forum. My 2018 SCREW 802A / tech pkg does not light up the console PRNDM. I have not had the console apart yet (only had the truck 5 days) but it will be coming apart this weekend for a radio install. Reading this thread let me see if I have this...
