    California SMOG Question

    Thank you - I don't know why I didn't find that while searching for answers. At least now I know and will just get it smogged. I wasn't looking forward to waiting on hold for an hour or two to have someone tell me this (or worse, not know why!).

    California SMOG Question

    That makes sense. I read about the smog abatement fee, but I can't find last year's registration to see if it was on there. I'm guessing not. Good news is that I own a house in Imperial County and will change the registration to that county. No smog required in the valley until you sell.

    California SMOG Question

    Anyone with a newer SuperDuty with a diesel have to smog their truck at their second renewal after purchase? I bought my truck in December 2020, had to smog it to register it in CA (came from out of state but was new from the dealer). Renewed registration last year no issue. 2022 renewal has a...

    Telematics Control Unit Died

    Fully resolved the issue. I don't know if the part can be "just replaced," as I imagine there is some programming to tie the truck to the new ESN and model in the TCU, which in turn ties it to FordPass. But, the dealer did replace just the TCU (and it notes some programming), and the problem was...

    Telematics Control Unit Died

    Thank you for the information. I actually assumed it was somewhere under the dash. Much easier to access back there. Glad it worked for you. I was so stoked when it all started working again. I hate having things not working on the truck. A little too OCD about these things.

    Telematics Control Unit Died

    I thought you were having GPS issues with the Sync3 - this makes more sense. Yes, FordPass is entirely dependent upon the cellular modem in the TCU. Whether you have the hotspot or not, FordPass has to communicate with the truck, and does so via cellular networks. My guess is that they're...

    Telematics Control Unit Died

    I actually don't have a clue. I knew it was the TCU after some research. My GPS wasn't affected, it was the cellular modem - I subscribe to AT&T vehicle WiFi (based on cellular), and I lost all connectivity. The modem wouldn't respond to resets or any other programming options on the Sync3, and...

    Telematics Control Unit Died

    Good Morning, I apologize as I meant to post a follow-up. The dealer who was such a pain completely failed to assist with this. I called another dealership in the area, took it in the following day for them to diagnose the TCU as being defective, then they immediately ordered a new one. It took...

    Titan Fuel Tank Overfilling

    I recently installed a 55gal Titan tank on my 2021 6.7L Super Duty Tremor. During the first two fill-ups (ouch), the pump overfilled the tank and burped about 1/2 a cup of diesel out the neck, down the side of the truck. Both times were at two different gas stations, two different looking pumps...

    TREMOR SHOCKS (suck)

    My stock Tremor shocks were roached at 22k miles. I was waiting for Fox shocks I had ordered and racked up those miles with only a small amount off road. However, at least one shock would not rebound and several others were "sticky." The bodies of the rear shocks were deeply pitted from rocks...

    Steering stabilizer

    Same here - BFG KM3 37" tires. Stock stabilizer and zero issue for more-than 10,000 miles. I have a Fox stabilizer in the box in my garage and just haven't yet installed it because the stock one works fine.

    Tremor Decal Height

    I did some digging and cannot find the font or a logo vector graphic. There are a few companies selling the Tremor decals (non-oem), so someone has created a vector of the OEM logo. I did find a .dwg file of the Super Duty Truck with the Tremor decal on it - I suppose one could buy that (it was...

    Tremor Decal Height

    I'll have to look for the font, but I can make up some vector files. If someone wants to email me the Carli logo in a vector, I can play around with it.

    Tremor Decal Height

    Thank you so much - not sure how I missed the notification that you replied, but I really appreciate it. I'll post up on here once I have some decals made up. I was also contemplating using the font above, but change the contrasting colors.

    Telematics Control Unit Died

    My 2021 F-250 6.7L Tremor lost WiFi connectivity recently. I subscribe to the AT&T unlimited data hotspot that's built into the car, and only recently noticed that my phone was no longer connecting. After a bunch of diagnostics, attempted resetting of the system and even reviewing the TCU module...

    Stock F250 shocks VS Tremor shocks?

    At 20,000 miles (roughly) I installed a Carli leveling kit, Deaver springs (to eliminate the riser block) and Fox 2.5" DSC shocks. When I pulled the Tremor shocks off they would compress but not rebound at all. They were completely wrecked. The performance with the change in springs and shocks...

    Anyone else plan on keeping their current Rig long term?

    My 2021 turned 28,000 miles on Sunday. I plan to keep this truck until it dies. I thought the same of my last car (highly customized Jeep), but my wife hated it. She loves the truck so I'm feeling good about the odds of keeping it forever.

    VHF Radio - The perfect install

    Sorry - second question - where do you source the remote microphone mount in the picture above? That's super clean!

    VHF Radio - The perfect install

    Do you know when the GJ 3rd brake light with NMO AND the bed camera mount are going to be available? Still don't see them on their website to order. I appreciate the picture of it mounted to your truck - I've been having a really hard time getting clear pictures of what it will look like. I've...

    Ok lets talk about the 10 speed in the 6.7L

    I have 26,000k+ on my 2021 and it's been perfect. My only issue - and one I'm sure is either intentional or I need to figure out - is that like Loshad's it will hold a low gear for too long when in 4x4, "Sand and Mud" drive mode. I'm sure there is some logic to it, but it is weird to hear the...
