    Oil on block - above and behind filter

    5th oil change at 40k, I noticed there looks to be oil above the oil filter, on the engine. I wiped it off, should I clean it well to see if it comes back? I have the 75K extended warranty, so if there is ANY concern that the block is leaking someplace, let me know. Also, there was something...

    Behind rear seat power source

    Anyone have a wire diagram or power source they like behind the rear seat or under (tie off of the inverter?). While the truck has lots of power coming off the center console, my kids are worthless when it comes to keeping things plugged in. My solution is to give them some semi permeant (they...

    Tailgate Skin swap

    Welding newb - sizing a small wooden fence steel frame

    Just started with my cheap flux core welder and am making functional welds (nothing I would risk my life on, but well enough for ranch fixes). I am just finishing a small privacy fence rebuild and need to add a gate - 36" wide and 6" tall. Using cedar pickets (6'x5.5"x.75" though I can plane...

    Pre-dealer repair prep

    My 2022 has some kind of leak, likely from the front firewall. I've also got a bad door lock actuator on the drive door. From the leak the entire driver side rubber floor underside is wet. I'm going to push for replacement as i'm pretty sensitive to mold and it's been getting wet for months...

    Winter/Snow driving for a Texan

    It's been some time since I've done much snowy weather driving. That was in a 90's RWD volvo that was as at home in the snow as a yeti. Since then it has been AWD SUV's and a 2WD tundra I hated to drive in the rain even. In a couple weeks I am driving up to Pagosa Springs/Wolf Creek in South...

    Water under the carpet - Driver side

    After a few days of big rain two weeks ago I discovered the conduit tray on the driver side was full of water. Rubber floors, but I could feel that the fiber backing on the carpet up at the firewall, behind the pedals was also a bit wet. Truck was parked in my driveway at a 5% incline, so I...

    Driver door lock motor - doesn't always work

    Sometimes it takes 3-5 times locking and unlocking to get the driver door lock to unlock. You can hear the motor hum, but the button stays down and the lock stays locked. Other doors open fine. I was about to install the JimmiJamer, but am holding off as I suspect the dealer would blame me for...

    K&N airfilter - worth it or a warranty risk?

    Obviously lots of folks have drunk the kool-aid on K&N filters, but I have seen a few posts suggesting that they might give you warranty issues if they could point at bad filtration causing the problem. If they are only just as good as disposable, at twice the price the reusable factor pays for...

    Bumper to bumper coverage - With aftermarket parts????

    Installed a front bumper and used the ADD adaptive cruise relocation bracket. I am now getting some precollission system warnings and adaptive cruise isn't working. Reading some of the F150 service bulitins, it sounds like it is possible that the system needs a deeper reset (or software...

    Diagnostics/OBDII tools

    On Fords is there a difference between OBDII and getting deeper into the diagnostics? I have a great OBDII tool for my wife's volvo, pulls codes, faults, and signals from any system - I can see and check on anything. Wondering if there is a similar tool for my 250. Or is it a laptop and OBD/USB...

    Blackout Grill - Blue Oval?

    Anyone have a black grill with a blue oval, rather than the smoke oval? I picked up a blackout grill to replace my chrome Lariat grill, debating putting it all together this weekend or ordering up the smoke emblem set and swapping when that comes in.

    2022 6.7 with 14,500mi. Last oil change they goofed and did it blend even though I asked for Full Syn, so going in this week to get my next oil change, and it is the fuel filter interval. I called the other big dealer in town and they quoted me $200 for a full syn change and $229 for filter...

    Any builders? Adding on to my metal pole barn building

    Two years ago we had a pole barn built at our ranch property. We finally got the interior finished out and are moving on to adding a wrap around deck. On the main side (faces the good views) we are looking to add a 10-12' deep deck. We would like it covered. If we can extend the current roof...

    Dealer service and Warranty work

    New to Ford, coming from Volvo where everything is covered and handled for the first 60k and a Tundra where nothing ever needed fixing. Dropped the truck off for an oil change and getting any details on what else they do/check was like pulling teeth. When I asked them to reset tpms (I rotated...
