    Looks much like early 80s trucks with their relatively flat faces and square look. They made it LESS imposing looking; "like a Ford truck". Nope. "Let's make sure we pretend it doesn't look like a 40-year-old Chevy". "Blindfold design?" "Yep, I'm going on vacation (again)".

    Huh? 😂😂

  2. Yea, this new flat panel filter is a joke.  Last Saturday I serviced my truck with a new filter and was out all week starting irrigation sprinklers and Thursday my air filter light came on.  They don’t make ‘em for the farm anymore that’s for damn sure.  I liked the intake on my 2019 way better

  3. Oil life is also time based.  So the manual says “x”miles or every 6 months.  This is how the oil life monitor works too.  If it sits, the days still clock on.  I don’t use the computer.  I go off odometer and engine hours

  4. I change first 1000 miles and every 5k after.  I’m diesel but doesn’t matter either way or not to me.  Fuel filters every 10k and with this worthless air intake Ford went with, new air filter once a week.  Farm truck, it lives in dust

  5. I’ve made a bunch of changes to my module as built data and really liking the truck now.  Just wondering if anyone one here is fluent with FORScan since I am having an issue with a change I wanted the most.  “Auto Regen checkbox” or enable Operator controlled Regen (OCR).  I went into the IPC made the change successfully and also went into the PCM plain English and selected option 3 under manual regeneration for manual regen with active inhibit.  I cannot find the Checkbox anywhere to uncheck it to turn auto off.  
     

    Some will wonder why I want this so I’ll explain.  I am a farmer so the use of my truck varies.  There is a lot of stop and go, short drives and idle time when I’m irrigating.  When this occurs, I turn auto off and do parked regens either in my driveway or in the yard at the farm shop.  I’ve found on my 2022 I get more miles between burns than I do when it auto regens while driving so I feel parked does a better job of cleaning.  Also Ford when regen is active and power is cut, when powered up again it does not initiate and complete the current cleaning cycle, it just starts refilling the filter back up.  It’s pretty important for DPF health to regen fully once a cycle has started.  At least Ford has the DPF % full gauge now but why they have yet to give us a light to signal regen is active is just dumb.  I have a Banks iDash installed so at least with it I know when the oven is hot.  
     

    Anyways just wondering if anyone here has had success with enabling OCR and where exactly is this checkbox suppose to be located since I can not find it


    Thanks in advance for the help!!!!

    The Ford e-mails are not necessarily sent out on a timely basis or include the most recent status information. Ford Dealers have 24/7 direct access to the most recent status updates. 

    Dealer tracking isn’t real accurate either.  Attached is the text from my dealer on October 30 and then on Nov 3 a text from a contact that works at KTP…

  7. I’ve been diesel since 1997 and I’ve have all 3 through the years.  I currently have a ‘22 F350 6.7L as my good truck and a 2019 Duramax for my farm truck.  The GMC is getting weak in the knees and has an 8 foot Knapheide service bed stuffed full of parts and tools.  This truck is heavy, real heavy (just shy of 14k gross) but has done pretty well considering the life it has lived.  To replace the Duramax, I just order a 2024 F350 CCLB Lariat with the 7.3L and 3.73 rears.  I’m sick of fighting the diesel emissions and figured I’d give a 7.3L a try.  Guess my only question is, should I go 4.10 instead of 3.73?  Truck will be heavy all the time and only towing it will do is 1000 gallon fuel trailer around 3 months out of the year during harvest times.  

  8. I’m running Ready Lift AirIQ system with the HD compressor.  It’s a dual inline bag and works superb.  Being an F350, factory overloads are removed and the air bags mount directly on top of the leaf stack to replace overloads.  Empty, I run 10psi and it rides way better than with overloads when hitting bumps or potholes.  The jar in the rear is reduced a lot.  With the HD compressor, left and right side are independent so 20 psi could be in the right and 30 in the left.  It was a pricey system but compared to my AirLift bags I have on my other truck, I’ll go no other way than Ready Lift from this point on.  Bluetooth and the compressor is quick to adjust

    ? percent agree. What we pay for these trucks Ford really needs to step it up. 

    Did you notice any sound difference with yours?  Mine is deeper, not much obviously with the rocket ship in front of it but enough to notice.  I think the only sound gain was deleting the rear resignator ?‍♂️

    Curious how you actually report dealerships for marking up vehicles after Ford told dealers not too.  Gaudin Ford in Las Vegas has two for sale and one has a 30K markup and the platinum has a $50k markup....  how is this even a thing?

    It’s not a hard issue to fix.  People need to simply just stop paying the stupid prices. Problem solved.  Dealers end up with full lots again and here come the new model year units and wallah…..red tag events just to move old stock
