I like how it adds an old school look to it.

Put mine on a couple of weeks ago, thought I posted it here, but I guess not. Looks good!

I’m considering a couple alternatives.

Detroit axle: claims lifetime warranty and is about $330, has same part number as cardone. Core charge is effectively the lifetime warranty.

Also considering advantage steering.
~$1350 but with $500 core. Reman in the US.

I called foutz, they scrapped the idea of an upgraded rack when they saw the potential cost for it.

Have you heard anything about these other brands? Nice to have a lifetime warranty, but the issue is both taking it on and off and also if they have stock for warranty replacement.

I saw Advantage as well, they're not too far from me. Tried bargaining with them but they did not budge on price.

I know a few people who have good experiences with Detroit on the electric racks, no comment on the warranty aspect. I agree at some point I would get irritated having to constantly swap racks.

I would love an intermediate option between swing set and stock. Foutz told me $3,000 seemed to big of a pill to swallow, but depending on what they are upgrading and how durable, I would/could have been on board.

I was planning on calling advantage and discussion what they rebuild in the rack and what if anything they upgrade over OEM.

Leadframe. Probably best to go to a dealer or you local shop.

I'm going to defer to someone with more knowledge but I was under the impression that it was more problematic with the older trucks, and the newer (2013/14) trucks were much less likely to have those issues but not immune.

I have a '14 as well and have heard both sides.

Lets consult the wisdom of @FordTechOne Please, sir can us help settle a thing?

I hit 206,000 miles and did a tire rotation, oil change and because it was flaring shifts when cold I drained and added 2 bottles of lucas trans stop slip. It wasn't slipping just seemed like solenoids were lagging. The stuff worked great.

The lead frame recall applied to 2011 to 2013 models. The build date cutoff for Dearborn Assembly was October 28th, 2013.
