    On board air system for tires and train horn

    Anyone have any updates or find any good kits? I ran Hornblasters on my last truck (Silverado). I custom made all of the brackets for the trumpets, compressor, and tank. It was a ton of work. 2.5 Gallon tank, compressor, and 4 trumpets operating at 150 PSI on a 1/2" air line. On this...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I'm a previous (very disappointed) '21 RAM Rebel owner and a current (mostly happy) ’23 Raptor owner. Even though I like the Ford better, the RHO is faster 0-60. Seems to be about 5.1-5.2 seconds, while the Raptor is between 5.6 and 5.9 seconds depending on who you believe. I’d still buy the...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I posted earlier on this. I called Ford Performance, and they said they didn't know. They also said to call Ford ESP. So then I called Ford ESP and after being transfered around at least 3 times, I was told that ANYTHING aftermarket (did not come with the truck from factory), that lead to a...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    So what is the limiting factor on our trucks then, if Whipple and Ford Performance reached similar results with thier tunes? (as compared to the Ranger Raptor gains of course...)

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    I called Ford ESP too. After being transfered 3 times, I reached the claims department (as if I were making a claim on the truck warranty). They said that the tune is considered "aftermarket" since it did not ship with that tune from factory. There is a statement in the warranty paperwork...

    Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

    That matches what I found too. I contact FP as Well as Fords ESP department. Ford ESP pretty much said the tune, although a Ford Performance Accessory, is considered "aftermarket" since it wasn't factory installed. If a failure was attributed to the tune, it would not be covered.

    Stereo Dual Battery - BMS Questions

    THanks for sharing this. It's also my understanding that the truck has a target State Of Charge set to 80%. I believe if the battery reaches 80% charged, the alternator voltage will drop to stop charging and save fuel? I suspect with an aftermarket amplifier turned up to any significant...

    Stereo Dual Battery - BMS Questions

    I'm going to look at the "big 3" soon, and possibly a larger alternator if there any issues. In my last truck I had upgraded the alternator, dual batteries, and the big-3, but I'm new to this BMS system...

    Stereo Dual Battery - BMS Questions

    @FordTechOne I saw a few of your posts in other threads, and it sure sounds like you know your stuff. Is this a topic that you're able to share some knowledge? I'd like to know everything I can about these newer BMS systems. Thanks!

    Stereo Dual Battery - BMS Questions

    I found a lot of BMS threads, but none that really answered my question. I'm hoping this thread can grow into a pinned/sticky that will help many others too. I upgraded my 2023 stereo system with a subwoofer and amplifier. We ran 1/0 Copper (both positive and ground) to behind the seat. I'm...

    Skid plate - normal?

    Thanks for posting this. I just noticed this tonight and was sure wondering if it was normal or recent (very symmetrical) damage.

    dsp

    I'm at a loss also. I just got my truck back from service. The advisor said they checked the DSP and APIM for updates, and found none. Yet when I got my truck back from service, I think it sounded much better and louder. Maybe something is different, or maybe 3 weeks in a rental Ford Edge...

    dsp

    Do we have any information on what update or firmware number this is? The dealer just called and my truck is ready to be picked up. It was in for several issues including the DSP update. The service advisor told me that my APIM and DSP were already as up-to-date as possible and that there...

    Tranmission Failure

    I have a 2023 and TSB 23-2250, or 24-2176, or whatever applies. Transmission is being replaced for this issue, and I hope to get it back tomorrow.

    I can share more in about a week. My '23 is at the dealer for a new transmission. I called the service tech today and talked about the DSP update while they have the truck. He is looking into it. I felt like they needed a warranty problem or complain to look into the DSP update, but "I...

    Tranmission Failure

    Thought i'd share something I learned over the last week. My transmission had been acting a little strange. 95% of the time it was flawless, but sometimes on deceleration the drivetrain would stay engaged. I could feel it, as I'd have to press the brake pedal more than normal. When this...

    Heavy Rain Problems

    Oh the joys of a COVID truck. Along with the light issue, I asked the dealer to look at my "poor shifting" issue. When coming to a stop, the truck often wants to keep pushing, like the transmission is not disengaging . Well they me a few minutes ago and said they found "an amazing amount of...

    Heavy Rain Problems

    Thanks for the tip... i'll take another look. I did not see any damage when hand washing the truck yeterday. There were no DTCs in the computer according to the dealer, which may or may not be due it taking a month to get an appointment with them.

    Heavy Rain Problems

    Does anyone have any idea on where to start with a headlight problem? I drove my truck in heavy, heavy rain, for the first time ever (people were pulling off the road it was so bad). The truck did GREAT. I parked at a restaruant, locked the truck and went in. When I came out, half of my...

    Heated Steering option to be installed by dealer at no extra cost to customers!

    I talked to the largest dealer in my area... They said they couldn't do it. I then talked to the smallest dealer in the area (and showed them the paperwork). They looked into it for a few days and came back saying their tech support resource (Ford employee?) said it probably wouldn't work...
