Well, got a pretty good offer on the truck, so it's being traded in. Placed an order for a 22 F150 w/HDPP. Going to have a good wait for it. Hopefully we receive it before camping season starts.

Sooo got the dreaded lifter tick on my truck. Passenger side lifters need replacing. about 4k from dealer. How often when these go is it likely the drivers side will go? I've got about 77k miles on it. Tempted to trade it in on something else.

Sooo supposed to go camping this weekend, a few hours drive. Anyways my truck will be out of service unfortunately. I do however have access to my fathers 16 F250 gas. Thing has almost twice the payload of my truck lol, like 3250lbs. Question is, do I bother with the WD hitch or run it without? I know it doesnt need Weight distribution, but I like the idea for anti sway. I hitched up yesterday just to get an idea with the WD and looks fairly level to me, mind you the truck is down a bit on the driveway. I almost feel like I should adjust the hitch angle some, but then I have to set it back up for my truck after the weekend and blah maybe Im over thinking things. halp??

yeah you nailed it. Will need a new pump. Feel like Im driving a ticking time bomb lol. Edit... Is there harm driving while I wait for parts and such to come in? My oil pressure based on the garage seems normal to me. Odd after I got the truck back, CEL is out, drove the hour home and still haven't come on. I've got a camping trip coming up next weekend, doubtful the parts will be in before that, but I'm also worried about pulling a trailer and the pump fails. Will the pump just fail? @newdude

Waiting for confirmation, but seems like oil pump related.

So cleaned the battery, checked grounds, all seem ok. CEL was gone once I hooked everything up again, but it came back after 5min of driving. I looked at the ground under the dash, don't see an issue with it like in the video posted. Sooooo dropping off at dealer on Friday

All was well, on way home, CEL came on. Tossed the scan tool on, P0600 code. Tried clearing, came right back. Truck ran fine, no obvious issues I could tell. Suggestions?

a wdh isnt anything fancy. It should be standard equipment with RV towing. Makes it safer for everyone on the highway.

Its all in the name. Weight Distribution hitch. Distribute that tongue weight evenly. OP never said if he has one. If he doesn't, he should get a good one, and have it set up properly.

How's the fit for the tires? Any rubbing? I have 275/55/20 and looking at different sizes

I totally didnt think of the 16 having different lights. My mistake. Good catch!

Yeah I use amber Lamin-x for mine. The Morimoto LED fogs are supposed to be good.

$1700 MVI. Ugh Had a few broken manifold bolts that had to be extracted, two lower ball joints replaced. Got an oil change. Also had two recalls, the rear defrost and the brake vacuum. Already had it in last year for that issue, this time they replaced the vacuum pump and belt.

Why i didn't go crazy with exhaust. That drone is killer lol

Not at all for the size! Looks like a nice rig! Hows it tow?

Try to get on a scale

Thats impressive. Whats the trailer weigh?

Thats a big trailer! Whats the tongue weight on that beast?

headed out for our first trip of the season, last week

These look really interesting.

exactly why Im leaning more that way. I like the looks of an AT tire more though, but function > fashion lol. Also the Agilis Cross Country may be an option. Slightly narrower LT 265/60/20 though.

Don't really need tires yet, but I'm quickly diving into the rabbit hole. Current tires are Grabber ATP 275/55/20 XL. Good tire. Been happy with them. Previous truck I ran LT Cooper atw's, Grabber AT2s and KO's. That was before the newer KO2's and Grabber ATX. I do 90% of my driving on road. We get a decent amount of snow/ice/rain. So I like having a 3 peak rated tire. The other thing is I tow a large TT during the summer months. So I want a tire that tows well. My Brother loves the Defender LTX on his F150. Says it works great in the ontario winters. I also really like the look of the Grabber atx though. Do I stick with a XL tire or go to a LT? My Grabber atp are 117T load range. Oddly the same size ATP LT tire is only 115T. I'd have to go up to a LT275/60/20 to get a 119T load. And the Defenders don't even come in a 275/55/20. it would have to be a LT265/60R20/E 121/118R or a LT275/65R20/E 126/123R which Im not sure would even fit. And those are both a much heavier tire. so many questions...so much to think about lol. sigh

Danger noodles!

yeah, hes been great to deal with ?

well Im just speaking from experience. I came from a 5.3, had no idea what fuel was recommended on my 6.2. Dealer had 87 in it. Heard knocking. Actually threw a code for knock sensor. 20k kms later it hasn't thrown that code. So perhaps Placebo...maybe a really bad batch of gas? Unsure.
