understood yes the ask fundamentally does swapping out springs with add the necessity of a revised bump stop situation. Or can brackets be flipped around etc etc and use the stock bump stomps. it is also understood that the stock ones even with stock springs are suspect for HEAVY offroading aka...
Thankful to the responders but no mention of thankful that the FORD motor company didnt cut any corners on the trucks build with the entire weight loaded to hang from an 1/4in thick piece of plate steel with a pull through distance of probably 3/4 of an inch. and thank god for DOT reqs on the...
Thanks for the heads up. probably wont be offroading "hard" and probably go with the +2 equivalent on the spring options. Will look into the kits but fk me they are expensive ish.
Love a lead foot. Mines Oxford. I’ve had 2 M3s and an M5. And both of those these trucks are not. These trucks are awesome but performance is in the dirt not on the pavement.
The module connector configuration on the 17+ trucks is different. They engineered around a bad ground and right into a shitty choice in vendor for the seat cushion/pad configuration. I would bet all newish trucks that lose their heat is due to a broken element, not a bad ground or burnt...
Ya I think the only current repelacement part is the whole cushion with the element installed. I doubt they fixed the issue with the design though. I would show the tech the thread and make sure he moves the element to one side or the other of the jclip or u will be in the same boat sooner than...
Nice work! ya the straight black and straight red are the element the wires with a tracer color are the thermistor and tell the controller the seat "temperature" by a change in resistance. im pretty sure its in the front channel where yours was boogered. at least that is where mine was. I am...
By the way anyone tries this fix please do so responsibly. This is MY experience and if your not comfortable don’t attempt. Don’t want any backlash if you burn up your seat etc. thx all.
You could maybe solder it? The stands for the copper are soooooo thin. Might burn/melt them in the process. I tried a typical crimp and had continuity but was skeptical as it could build up excessive heat and cause further issues so I just replaced the whole thing. The rear pad in its place...
I found the crux of the problem. Not the same but similar to previous gen fails. This particular element uses a plastic coated thin conductor that snakes through the pad but its not as protected as previous gens with a double layer of the felt material. Previous gen fails were mostly due to a...
