  1. I'll look it up. My only concern is will damage the paint when I remove it.
  2. Hello all, I need some advice. Yesterday I got T-boned in a parking lot. My 4 door F250 got it in the right side back door. The door isn't sealed good at the top and back due to being dented. It's going to be a while before I can get it fixed (ordering parts). Until then I need to seal the gaps. It's only 1/2 to 1 inch wide. I have seen mixed reviews on using Duct Tape. What have you used to fix a problem like this? Thanks in advance
  3. Hello all, I have searched the owner's manual and a quick search of this forum and I have not found a torque spec for my 6.2 gas oil drain plug. I just changed my oil for the 3rd time since I bought my truck and I have a leak. The times before I just gave it a firm twist and it was good. I saw a couple of posts on another forum that had it between 12 and 17 foot pounds. My gasket looked good on the plug. So I was going to use the torque spec before I drain and add a new gasket. Thanks for any info you might have.
  4. I read that too. I removed some extra fluid this morning and it didn't fix it. I think it's odd that both sides are not releasing. I think I will remove the new rotor/hubs and put the old ones back on (one side to test) and see it that fixes it.My neighbor suggested the new rotors may be out of spec and causing the problem. I did go ahead and buy new calibers and rubber brake lines but I haven't installed them yet.
  5. Hello, I need some help. I changed the front Rotors/hubs on my 2005 Ranger RWD. Now I have brake drag and my front hubs are getting hot. My old rotors needed replacing. So I went to Advanced Auto and bought a set that matched my truck. I pulled the old ones and installed the new ones. The new ones spun without any issues. After test driving a few miles I checked and the lug nuts were hot along with the dust caps. I jacked it up and now the brakes are dragging. While I had the rotors off I greased the slides. I pressed the calibers to retract the pistons. So no air should be in the line. Any ideas on what could be causing this?
  6. So the antifreeze in my truck (2019 F250 6.2 gas I just bought) is only good to 5 degrees. It looks watered down. So I want to drain the radiator and add a better mix. So here's the question, once I drain the radiator do I just add the new stuff to the overflow tank and let it draw it in? There isn't a radiator cap on this model so I can't pour the new stuff straight into the radiator. Has anyone done this before? Thanks for any help
  7. It was above the driver's side tow hook, hiden in the bumper. There is a clip that holds it out of the way.
  8. Hello all! I finally got a new (used) truck. I bought a 2019 F250SD XLT with the 6.2 gas engine. On the window sticker it shows a block heater. I have looked all over the front bumper/tow hooks and do not see a plug. The previous owner never used it and did not know it had one. So can someone give me an idea as to where to start looking to find it? Where is the heating element located and I can start from there. I have found many videos on the diesel engine but nothing on the 6.2 gas. Thanks!
  9. I went to Ford's "Price and Build" site and built my dream truck. Then sent (emailed) the build sheet to multiple dealers and asked for their best out the door price. That made it very easy and low stress. However, I refuse to buy/order a truck without first driving it or a similar model. So I see dealers having demos on the lot to give buyers some idea of what they will get. The rest of the story is after 8 months of "Unscheduled/Clean" I cancelled the my order. Personally I won't order another truck. I'll buy off the lot.
  10. I had ordered a F350 XL CCLB 4X4 6.2 gas bed delete and was told my order was "Unscheduled/clean" the whole time. But since it was a fleet order it would be produced last. No one told me this when I placed the order. So after 8 months of unscheduled/clean I cancelled the order.
  11. It does, thank you. I didn't know if the order would still have my name on it in Ford's order system. Or if a name is even attached in the Ford system for fleet orders. The day after I cancelled my fleet order I got a call from a retail salesman at the dealership saying he could order me a retail truck and apply some kind of discount and get the truck quicker and almost as cheap as with the fleet program. I thought he might be trying to sell me the truck I had already ordered.
  12. You keep reminding me of that (4th/5th time now?) I did not mention COVP verified order program. I asked about a fleet order. Is this tread just for retail orders? If it is, I have wasted 7 months following it.
  13. So, here's a question. I had a fleet order. I placed a $1k deposit on it. After 8 months it was not scheduled so I cancelled (emailed salesman) the order and got my $1k back. If the truck comes in, can I go to the dealership and still buy it at the price I ordered it for? I mean if they didn't cancel it it's still my order.. right? Would the dealership get in trouble with Ford for not cancelling orders and using them for dealer stock?
  14. If Ford decides not to build your 2022 order it will be cancelled, and you will have to place a new order for the 2023.
