    I asked my dealer to add upfitter switches to my F350 order and told them to make any other changes necessary, ie dual battery or alternator upgrade. It's been a week and they haven't said anything, I figure if it has dual batteries then I'll simply have more piece of mind should one battery go before the other. I do like the idea of building redundant systems.

     

    My 06 250 has duel batteries but I don’t think I would consider them redundant.  While it has to provide more available power, in that system I wouldn’t use battery power for much of anything with the engine not running.   Personal experience has taught me the draw to start the truck combined with the potential for FICM damage via low voltage is just not worth risking,  

     

    Also, when one battery goes south, it is highly recommended that both are replaced at the same time.

     

    Maybe the system is better on the new trucks.

  2. As I wait for my 2022 to eventually get built, I think about creature features these trucks should have.  Top of my list is a heads up display.  I have it on one of our cars now and will miss it when I get the truck.

     

    Any scuttlebutt about HUD being added? - heck if there’s a chance it would be available on the 2023s I could be convinced to wait…

    “  I wasn't trying to call out anyone specific, other than the specific example I gave about e-mails -- and I don't even remember who that was.  This was nothing personal.  Just a suggestion to make the community a little better.”

    This may have been me.  Though I’m new to this forum, I am certainly not new to Ford or the order process.

     

    I have ordered 8 vehicles from Ford.  In the case of 5, I received a confirmation almost immediately.  Two more, the email address was, in fact, not input when ordered - I got that corrected and receive emails from that point forward.  The last order was not input for several days - and only corrected when I contacted the dealership.

     

    So, it would seem based on experience, that indeed, if the email is input, one received confirmations.  Not sure how one would take that in any different manner?

     

    But, to your original point, it appears it falls back to who is making the determination of what is true/false/ misinformation?

     

    And I don’t disagree that misinformation needs to be corrected - I would submit the forum members do a good job of it already.

  5. I’m coming from a 2006 F250 with the 6.0l diesel.  It was a rollercoaster for a while until I figured out how to take care of it in order to minimize issues.  I ended up with a routine of regular oil changes and fuel filter replacements.  Every time I changed the fuel filters, I changed the screen on the IPR valve and tested the ICP sensor.   Always kept the scan gage showing FICM volts, oil and coolant temp and IPR percentage, kept an eye on the batteries and changed out both when one went bad, etc, etc, etc.  Taking care in this manner has gotten me 265,000 miles of mostly trouble free use - 1 egr cooler and oil cooler replacement, stock heads without issue.  It’ been a pretty good truck.

     

    Moving to the 6.7, I’m guessing it’s been around long enough - what are the idiosyncrasies I need to be aware of and plan for?
     

    TIA

  7. I guess we’ll see….

     

    I had originally priced a Lariat Ultimate with a local dealer, was made aware of

    pricing via Granger Ford and I can get the Limited for pretty much the same price as the optioned up Lariat I was already prepared to buy.

     

    Since this will be our retirement truck, pulling a 16k 5er, I felt the investment in comfort was worth it.

     

    Now the waiting game….time will tell if we get the ‘22 or get bumped to ‘23 and start

    over!
