  1. welcome fellow Canadian,i love my 11 f150 so far(just took delivery on the 1st)hope to see pics of yours when it comes in :happy feet:
  2. not completely new here but wanted to post pics of my new 2011 f150 fx4,this site is great and lots of helpfull people
  3. my new 11 f150 has the sony system and it cranks!! i forsee window leak concerns in my future :shades:
  4. hopefully they will work the torque steer out,nothing was more surprising then mashing the pedal on a turbo firefly and trying not to hit the ditch!
  5. thanx for the info guys,the truck arrived on time 5/31/2011,will post pics when i figuire it out. :happy feet: i love my new truck,but it's in the body shop already for carrier damage.
  6. (I'm getting sick of this. A dealership transmission specialist is way more likely to do an internal trans repair than an independant garage. (Unless of course the independant is a tranny shop named "trans plus" or whatever.) Ask me how I know. If the chain slips on the variators you might as well replace the whole thing. Hmmmm.... $4000 for a new chain and variators, plus filters, seals and gaskets; or $5000 for a new one with a Ford warranty. Plus, there is no way an independant has all the special tools just to split the case on one, or all the special tools to reinstall the case half. Trust me, its quite a contraption. About 30 pieces to each tool. No one should let an independant touch one of these things. I wouldn't even let them flush it because they might put the wrong fluid in which will cause failure. Again, ask me how I know. ) amen fellow technician! nothing can ruin a trans faster then a quicky lube dork using the wrong fluid(or none for that matter)then send it to us to fix(what do you mean there is no warranty on the trans that quickydork just wrecked) these fly by night mechanics sicken me,if people only knew how many 1000's of hours of training we have to take to get master status and it's on going as vehicle systems change every year.
  7. wow if there looking to entice the younger buyers this should do it(hope it comes with free paper bags to wear) :hyper:
  8. if you own a vct vehicle (veriable cam timming)better use a motorcraft oil filter for warranty coverage(ask any 5.4l owner that used fram and tryed to get cam phazers under warranty)
  9. 11 fx4 order#0000,dealer code cb6022,vin#1ftfw1ef6bfb60136,ordered april 6th 2011, thank you for your help cyberdman:) bump!
  10. you could have a bad cylinder head temp (cht)sensor,or low coolant level.
  11. 11 fx4 order#0000,dealer code cb6022,vin#1ftfw1ef6bfb60136,ordered april 6th 2011, thank you for your help cyberdman:) bump!
  12. good evening,any new updates this week?(getting giddy thinking about the new truck )
  13. the motorcraft 5w20 oil is a semi-synthetic,and the greenish tint in the factory oil is dye for leak detection.
  14. i believe he was wondering the same as me if you can watch your ordered vehicle in process of build,that would be the internet at it's finest
  15. on a side note if any engineering staff are on here will these new engines require 10w40 in summer like the out going 5.4l engines for phazer "rattle"concerns?
  16. thank you for the quick response Cyberdman,i'll be honored to post pics of the new ride when it arrives :happy feet:
  17. good morning and happy easter,after the weekend could you start tracking on my 11 fx4 order#0000,dealer code cb6022,vin#1ftfw1ef6bfb60136,ordered april 6th 2011, thank you for your help:)
  18. why would you want to turn off the beltminder?the cops love this modification to meet quotas!! :shades:
  19. the 36gal tank is listed for the 157/145wb (supercrew) fx and lariat models less the 3.5l ecoboost(guess they figuire the awesome milage numbers negate the need for a large tank)
  20. as a dealership employee that has installed these,they are a great value for the customer as what the tech gets paid for install is way less then what is charged.
  21. looking through the option pages you can get a manuel tele mirror with chrome cap(54x on lariat)or man tele with memory option on fx luxury package(54p xlt and fx),but don't appear to power fold(but the fx and better mirrors can )
