    Ford Pass Deep Sleep Mode

    in F-Series SuperDuty Forum

    Posted

    My truck was at the dealership today and this is what I found out. It seems to be a software issue, and today Ford released a patch to fix it. The problem is that the actual patch will not be sent to the dealers until October. I was told I need to just deal with it until then. My salesman in the service manager were both hurry up said that this was the answer that they got from Ford. They tried a repair on a different truck the day before and it seemed to work for a few hours than reverted back to deep sleep mode.

    I am waiting patiently for more information, but I don't have any issues with using the key fob to remote start the truck.

    It sat for over a week while on vacation and fired up right away when I started it.

    I have the same issue.  7.3 with dual batteries too.  I spoke with the service manager and he wants to see the truck and make sure that one of the batteries doesn't have a bad cell or something.  He said that with all the long builds and what not that he has no idea how long parts have just been sitting down in KY.

    I am bringing the truck in later this week and I will update what they find.

    It is annoying to have an alert on the Ford pass every time I shut off the truck.

    Showed up at the dealership last night!!

    Ford email said delivery between 7/26-8/2 ?

    Dealer said it showed up last night around 6pm, and I will pick it up tomorrow afternoon.

    More pictures to follow, it still needs to be cleaned and prepped

    Got it home, and I installed my Weather Tech mudflaps!

    Wishing all of you waiting for your trucks a quick delivery.

    Got this email from Ford a few minutes ago.  That certainly makes things better.

     

    Dear xxxxx,

    We understand it has been too long since you last heard from us. Today, we wanted to give you an update on the status of your Super Duty F-250 Platinum order.

    Unfortunately, continued supply chain issues are slowing things down. We’re working diligently to try and reduce these delays.

    Now here’s our promise to you. We know that waiting for delivery of your Ford is far less fun than actually driving it. So, we commit to updating you as soon as we can, at least once every 45 days regarding your vehicle’s production schedule status. No matter what.

    Thank you for your patience and understanding.

    The commitment to an update every 45 days no matter what is a nice improvement over the previous lack of information.  Hang in there and it will be at the dealer eventually ??

    with KTP being shut for the next 2 weeks, how does this impact trucks that are built and awaiting shipment??

    I as as that is my status and the delivery date to the dealer is 7/16 thru 7/22.

    Anybody with an idea on what happens I would really appreciate it.  
    I am trying to coordinate the selling of my current vehicle with the arrival of the new truck.

    Quad-beam LED

    It seems to me that the LEDs are not included in the package, so you will need to order them. It is quite easy to do this since there are so many online stores that sell LEDs.

    What is your reasoning for saying that you say "seems to me that the LEDs are not included"?

     

    There are numerous examples of vehicles on this forum that have the BAP and LED lighting. It is not an option that is able to be added to a vehicle at the lariat level if BAP is selected, so how did those vehicles end up with LED lighting?  It also includes more than just LED headlights, all lighting is LED with the package.

    Painting Exhaust

    Has anyone tried painting their stock exhaust black using a spray product similar to what is used on a motorcycle?

    I have a BAP on order and feel like this in an area that was missing.  Any thoughts or pictures would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, just picked her up from the shop a few min ago. Since last update the windows have been tinted (5% around, 50% on windshield...went with the ceramic tint), exhaust on and now lift/wheels/tires. Grabbed a few photos, definitely needs to be washed. 

     

    What's next @FirstFord22?!? Already did grill, fender badges, ovals, mirror caps, mirror lights, bed cover, etc....... ?

    I really like the look of the gray mirror caps!  Where did you get those or did you have yours painted to match the truck color?  I too have a carbonized gray BAP that is currently being shipped to the dealer.  Looking for a set of 18" tremor wheels to get the look I want, but yours looks great!

    What bed cover do you have?

    Line X installed on Friday.  They did a great job and also removed the tailgate access panel and sprayed it separately. Also removed cleats/tie downs and taped over bed bolts, LED lights and the on/off switch. 

    I would say doing all of that is standard for a Line-X dealer. The three trucks I have in Line-X have all had similar things done all bolts are taped or removed individual panels are sprayed separately and everything is usable again following the liner insulation. That is why I prefer Line-X over the factory bed liner as well.

    F250 7.3 gas milage question

    in F-Series SuperDuty Forum

    Posted

    I will have to give an update in a few weeks as I received notification today that my truck went into production 6 days early.  So looking forward to being able to give some more data on 7.3 fuel milage.  My 2021 with the 6.2 and a 3.73 is currently showing a lifetime mpg of 15.1 over the past 28,000 miles.  Hopefully the 7.3 with the 3.55 will be similar.

    Front axle weights?

    in F-Series SuperDuty Forum

    Posted

    It's not the axle it is the spring. F250s and 350s have the same front axle. The difference in the front axle weight is the spring which is selected as the computer will pick the lightest possible spring based on the variety of configurations that you pick. That is why some of the configurations say a plus one spring.
