    2013 6.2L Engine failure due to stuck open injector

    I have a 2013 SCAB purchased new with the 6.2L. The truck has 87K miles and no engine mods and no tune. Bone stock engine. A few weeks ago while driving about 80 it started to shake a bit like the driveshaft was out of balance. No check engine light. I slowed down and the vibration was...

    Should I buy this 2014 Screw

    My truck just fits in a standard garage and in all parking garages. With the roof rack it would not fit the garage. If important to you test in your garage first.

    Won't shift out of 4 low

    After the Sync 2 to Sync 3 upgrade today I was testing to see if the front camera worked. (It won't without changing to a delay on the rear camera). Anyway, the tranfer case shifted to 4L no problem but then would not shift back out of 4L. It would partially shift but get stuck in I assume...

    FourSyncTech Sync 3 Upgrade Kits

    I just did the Sync3 with Sync4 screen. I too don't know what the Sync3 screen would look like but the Sync4 with the Camera Source higher resolution backup cam looks great. Install took about 1.5 hours. The installation video link they sent showed not taking the top silver part of the...

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    Just to clarify, the trailer towed fine with the load. I drove 360 miles from Phoenix to LA with the trailer empty and it swayed badly when empty. Once loaded it pulled fine.

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    The trailer and truck where both level. The rental yard (commercial) adjusted the trailer tongue to get it level. The trailer had plates for adjustment. Trailer had a 2.5" ball. This was when empty so very level when empty. I assume there was sufficient tongue weight as designed and built by...

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    Thanks. If I buy a trailer I'll use a weight distribution hitch. This issue was with a rental trailer.

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    I'll definitely do shocks. I live 5 miles from SDHQ so I'll have them rebuild. Can't believe the trailer maker, JLG, built it with insufficient tongue weight when empty.

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    The trailer was a JLG dual axel drop deck trailer where the deck hydraulically drops flush to the ground. Weight about 3,000 lbs empty and rated for gross weight 10,000 lbs. I carried a 2,000 lb load home. It is really short, the bed was like 10 ft long and the tongue maybe 4 ft. Seems like...

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    No on the WD hitch. This was my first time towing on a longer trip. The trailer was a rental drop deck trailer with no WD setup. Towed well loaded but terrible empty. Odd that a large trailer maker would build a trailer that would have insufficient tongue weight empty. Other than an oil...

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    On tongue weight, that's the first thought. One would think on an expensive trailer they would design for sufficient tongue weight when empty, but who knows. I could not lift the tongue when it was empty. Could it be shocks, I don't notice any bounce when driving.

    2013 SCAB Towing Sway

    Bought my SCAB new May 2013. I have RPG front and RPG rear springs with stock shocks. The rear springs were the standard Deaver not the HD option. 56,000 miles. I recently towed a drop deck 10,000 rated dual axle trailer from Arizona to LA and back. It's a pretty stout trailer, 10 ft long...

    Time for new brakes - Posi Quiet Pad Question

    I will replace the rotors and pads and I will also install stainless lines. I have no complaints about the OEM brakes and they have been quiet. Freedom motor sports Posi Quiet Ceramic pads are very popular here. I'm concerned that the ceramic brakes will squeak more. For those who have them...

    bed cover advice

    I like the looks of the Roll-X and the new version. Having said that, BAK has replaced mine twice. I bought the first one in 2013 when the truck was new. The first cover had glue failing on the vinyl top and the felt underneath within 9 months. BAK replaced it with an updated version. About...

    Brand new paint has dirt in it!!!

    I take mine offroad often and if it were mine I'd try for a discount or some compensation of some sort. I have lots of chips and desert pin stripes on my 2013. Oh well...joe

    2012 dsp suggestions for stereo upgrade

    I was having issues and I think the stock Sony amp was the problem. So last weekend I removed the JL Audio DSP gear and put in the PAC. The JL Audio stuff takes speaker level out of the Sony amp. The PAC integrates into the Ford wiring harness and it samples on the line level before the Sony...

    Front seat replacement options

    I would think an auto upholstery shop would be able to take the cover off, reshape the foam, and re-sew the cover. Would be way less than new seats.
