  1. I also just received an email PCO, 2000 off F150 and super duty. I ordered my super duty in Nov, took delivery in May. In those months I was wearing out the keyboard doing everything to trigger a PCO, and then stopped in May. And now I get the PCO. It’s good through Jan, but I am doing just fine with mine. They are out there, don’t know what triggers them. Good luck!
  2. Yes, the factory wheel well liners, and the factory extensions. And yes, I purchased them through Fairwayparts.net. Used my FordPass points.
  3. I want to get a 3rd FOB for our new 350. What are your experiences with the $70 ‘OEM fob’ that you see for sale in multiple places? I plan on programming it with forscan. Such as this:
  4. I installed these this morning on our 22 F350, and they do indeed fit and fit well. I also installed the extensions to cover the area behind the bumper. Used my fordpass points at fairwayfordparts.net. I did not receive the clips shown in the pictures above, but don't think it needs it. I may see if I can get the clips at our local dealer the next time i'm in there. I followed the directions found in the Amazon review of these parts and it went well. I did reverse the order though and worked from back to front as I have mudflaps and wanted to insert the plastic liner in there first. This solved the "flexing" at the back described in the instructions. It went very easily, just take your time. The main point, don't take out the small bolt around the wheelwell, just loosen them! I didn't heat up the new liners, just installed them in the garage when it was raining this morning and 60 degrees. here are instructions: These fit well and do the intended job of protecting the factory felt type product. I'm happy with the extra protection these provide. Mine came with no instructions, error or intended, I don't know. But here's what I did and it worked well. Had them both in, in about 1/2 hour. That's right, 1/2 hour. >Put them in the sun to heat them up and ease flexing them for installation. >These new wheel well skirts have one hole drilled into them, in a dimple in the mold. It matches up to one torx screw in a dimple in the front section of the stock wheel well. Remove this screw and save it. You will use it again shortly. >Loosen, but DO NOT completely remove, (you want just enough room to slip the new skirt between the felt liner and the aluminum body), the 5.5mm screws around the inner lip of the wheel well. And also the two at the back of the wheel well that hold on the small factory plastic guard. >Take your heated up new skirt and slip it over the tire and into the wheel well making sure the back sits above the shock tower. >Push in and up on the front portion to line up with the single screw that you removed in the dimple. Reinstall this factory screw lining it up with the screws hole, but just enough so the it is threaded correctly and won't come out. Do not tighten it. >Starting at the front, push the new liner in between the felt liner and the aluminum lip. Be careful, the body is aluminum! Don't man handle it. It takes a little finese and wiggling but it will fit behind the aluminum lip. Work your way, front to back, fully inserting the new liner into the gap. You'll see how it fits as you go. >At the very back and bottom of the lip, wear some gloves and flex the liners back edge up and into the gap between the plastic factory mud piece. >Double check that the inner lip is fully inserted front to back, and grip the inner edge of the new liner and pull it outward gently, fully seating the new liner into the gap. >Tighten all screws. This worked quickly and well for me, but I wore rubberized finger tip gloves. The cheap rubber over cloth type you get from the home stores. Initially, this install looked a bit difficult considering everything I've read about trying to flex these into place. The only real flexing into place - tough part is the rearmost bottom edge. Good luck.
  5. I have now tried two different 3X2" hitch adapters with our new F350 with the 3" receiver and our 2" WDH: Husky 33129 all steel sleeve and the Hercu-Sleeve from moonlight diesel. The Hercu-Sleeve is WAY better! It fits in the receiver very well (almost too well, it needs some effort to remove) and the 2" hitch fits well as well. Yes, it is "plastic", but that means it won't rust in place and doesn't rattle. The plastic is tough and doesn't deform with a WDH. I was impressed - impressed enough to want to write this review (no sponsor, just saw a good product and want to pass it on). The Husky does the job, but is a bit sloppier. The Husky is still better than using two sleeves (3X2.5 and 2.5x2) however! The Husky is now back in stock. Earlier this year it was not. https://www.moonlightdiesel.com/product-page/hercu-sleeve-4070101-3-to2-towing-hitch-sleeve-reducer-adapter-6-7l-11-17 https://www.huskytow.com/husky-towing-33129-trailer-hitch-receiver-tube-adapter
  6. BTW, Fairway Ford will use your FordPass points for internet orders. The front wheel liners, wheel liner extensions, and touchup paint with shipping were cheaper there than just the front wheel liners at my local dealers. Have not seen invoice yet to confirm, but all seems good.
  7. Its here! ordered 11/1/21 lariat ultimate, 6.7, BAP with the liner, 5th prep, sunroof, camera and tow package, adaptive cruise, etc, no butt massage, no adaptive steering built 5/3 shipped 5/6 Arrived in spokane 5/23 delivered 5/26 No shifts in build, ship or delivery schedules. zip, nada, none. And yes, I watched it like a hawk. Knew which very small towns in North Dakota it went through on the train. Drove 900 miles that same weekend preparing it for trailer towing Pretty awesome! 3.31 w/6.7 is the way to go. The 10 speed was in 5th gear by 20mph. 1750 rpm at 80 (montana). Monster torque and tremendous range in gears. Strong side winds didn't phase it (montana). Adaptive cruise is great. Huge sunroof is a spirit lifter on grey, cloudy, rainy days. Bonus: the automatic wipers work much better than I was expecting! Just set it and it starts, stops, speeds up, slows down based on the light sprinkles or heavy rain. Never have to turn it off, it just works. All of the cameras give great information and are very useful for such a beast in a parking lot, but competition has better resolution. Corwin in Spokane was lazy, but did honor x-plan and price protection (Ford is sending check, Corwin was too lazy to find the original x-plan price, so they sold at current x-plan and will send check in a few weeks for the difference. Therefore I paid a few hundred more in taxes. But better than some stories here) Used FORScan to get rid of those pesky chimes last night. Really looking forward to hooking up the trailer! Truck is a bit dirty in the attached picture, but it still looks pretty darn good! yes, that is my wife, much more photogenic than me!
  8. How fast does the email show up saying “your truck is at the dealer and in final preparation” from when the truck actually arrived at the dealer? My truck is unloaded from the rail car and waiting on the 3 mile trip to the dealer. My dealer is pretty lazy on communications up to now. I’m hoping that the Ford email on delivery is very timely, so I know when it gets there. 11/1 order, BAP, 350 lariat, 5th prep, and a bunch of other items.
  9. I have very similar truck, but 350, backup cameras, sunroof. Same color, engine, trim, etc, etc. CSX says now that the railcar will arrive in Gibson at 4:16pm today.
  10. Understand completely! Also trying to figure out how I can get some non-towing miles in, however, with our current trailer at 7k lbs won't be stressing the truck much! Has anyone posted the weigh safe drop hitch yet? I have the 3" shank, 6" drop, aluminum hitch sitting in our garage just waiting for the truck. It's max weight capability is 21k lbs, so I'll be able to tow any dump trailer, boat, travel trailer, skid steer, etc. They have sales every couple of months to get 15% off. Picked over B&W as I like the locking pins, the way that the balls are mounted, is quite a bit lighter than the steel ones, and just looks nice. Now its time for a garage sale for all of the 2" non-adjustable stingers and balls sitting in the garage! This won't replace the WDH for the long term travel trailer towing, but it can handle just about everything else!
  11. I ordered 11/1, also with x-plan, and Duane have said i was price protected too. The thing that bugged me a bit when i ordered was that they said "the computer isn't giving me x-plan". I know what the price should be, and I do have their invoice price printout which is within a few hundred dollars. After reading more here now I could have pushed more on that, but it should be pretty straight forward with the current x-plan price on the invoice and a price protection check - or discount. I started out with Darren as my salesman, who is now the F&I guy. I stopped by a few months ago and Duane took over. He did look up my order at the time on the paper order bank and gave me some info and said I was price protected. Tyler, the sales manager (or one of them), was the most helpful when I stopped by for my first visit after my order. He told me of the build constraints, that they assign priority 19 to everyone and don't adjust, and to just wait. Not once has Corwin reached out to me proactively yet and said, "your truck was built", or "you were selected for order". As long as they honor the price, I can live with them being lazy. I knew that going in based on previous interactions. Obviously I'd like more, but that's not who they are. Wendle gives better service, but wouldn't take x-plan. Did Corwin give you the x-plan price printout when you ordered?
  12. Wow, Built on 5/2, received shipped email earlier this morning. And going to Corwin in Spokane as well. I got the railcar info from Ford.com chat by asking what railcar it was on. (Corwin would be able to give me this information also, but they are not wonderful at providing order updates!) Find the thread on CSX shipping tracking in Super Duty forum here; however, I'll just put the highlights here. My number was CTTX 0690835. So dial 1800 235 2352 then press 1. Then 23818192 (which = CTTX). Then enter your rail car # mine was 690835. then he will ask another question enter ##. Yes, I bet we are on the same car. The next stop for the railcar is Gibson IN on May 8.
  13. It probably depends on your location. Mine was built earlier this week and has an estimated arrival June 2-8 in eastern Washington State. It just got on the train car is is heading to Gibson, IN this weekend.
  14. When Does NADA update their on-line pricing guides after price increases to find invoice and list price of a specific set of options? Previously, it seemed that they caught the pricing increases very quickly, but they are still reporting the previous pricing with the 1695 delivery charge.
