EX-F150 owner

I am here after owning 2 F150's, both having transmission issues. The tranny in the 05 failed at 66K miles. It also had a couple injectors fail at two different times. The second time it took out one converter. At 5K miles the complete sunroof assembly and headliner had to be replaced after 2 previous repair attempts. The dealer finally replaced everything when it got stuck opened. Pick your poison

Are you sure your truck has a 6.2L in it? You should not need any mods to beat a 5.4L and you should have pulled away right from the start.

The 5.4L is a dog. Were you having an off day? You should have walked him off the line.

Could the pipe size be smaller do to the added AFM?

I'd like to know how you are getting that?

I am still on all the original fluids, all but the engine oil. My truck only has 23K miles on it. I am running 0W-30 (Mobil One) instead of the 5W-30 that is recommended and I have not noticed any difference in MPG, but that was not the reason for me switching to this weight.

From gear oil

Tires causing it to run bad Have you tried a different dealer.

Why would the BOSE in it be any different than mine? Does it have a center console? If so it is in there.

If you are concerned about voiding your warranty I would advise against it until it expires. What if you tuck breaks down on you and you're not able to return the factory program before getting it serviced. Anything can happen.

I don't know from experience but have read post from other's having this issue when using the heater. Best I can suggest is to talk to your dealerships service department as to why this does this, and hope they don't blow smoke. My best guess on it is that the temp sensor the computer is reading is either reading too hot or too cold for what the block actually is... but that is just my guess on it. Hope you figure it out.

Block heater? I don't have any issue with mine. Have you tried leaving it unplugged to see if it happens cold?

Is this on your 2010 Silverado? That sucks but glad to see you already found the cause.

Look into buying a beater for gas savings. You will have to off set some of the saving in the additional insurance cost but it will keep the mileage down on your truck. My 2010 only has 16K on it and is still like a brand new truck to me

Other than the cost of the premium, do you really think you will get better gas mileage? How much is it going to cost you to trade for another truck?

I myself wasn't a big fan of the all chrome grill so I now have a painted grill with only chrome mesh in it, GM accessory grill. Was around $300.00 but easy to install and looks great. I am pretty sure I have a pic in my photo album. In my mod album but you can also see it in my Avatar

This is almost the exact some as how mine looked when I received it. Mine came with chrome nerf bars and painted mirror caps and door handles, other than that it is a mirror image of it! nice truck!

This may work sometimes but not all the time, and really depends on the dealership. The problem with having someone work on your car these days is that there are more parts changers out there than real mechanics. My neighbor son is the head painter at my local Chevy dealership and he was telling me that they only have 4 real mechanics there, all the are parts changers. That being said. When my sister was trying to get her truck fixed at her local dealership they told her that the throttle body had to be replaced because the SES light was lite and was for a bad TPS (code P0121). They also said they she should contact GM because GM may cover this repair. GM did extend the warranty on the TPS on her truck but for a different code. GM was contacted and they contacted the dealership and GM and the dealership both have declind cover this repair. The truck is only a couple months out of warranty and was purchased at this dealership. IMO they should have fixed this out of good faith. A little customer service does go along way... What really gets me was this is a prime example of a parts changer! She did not let them fix the truck. I pulled and cleaned the throttle body and what do you know? The truck is fixed and has now passed emissions!! This dealership and GM both failed on this service visit!

I have never tried E85. I read that it get less mpg so I only run 93. Just wondering why you are only using it? Thanks

Did you compare 93 octane to E85?

Why E85?

I purchased mine from Madision Ohio. I live in Northern VA. The seling dealer shipped it down to me when I purchased it. Funny, sounds like we have the exact same trucks. Mine also has the NHT with every option available. MSRP was just a tad over 52K. Was discounted to 40K as a model year left over. Mine is Granite black on black. There was not much to pick from around here when I was shopping. I couldn't even get my local Chevy dealer to order one for me

Not the 20's but I did swap over to a set of the Z71 18's. When I measured the wheels they were the same overall diameter and I check my speedometer with a GPS and it was the same. No difference in performance either. I do like the older version Texas Edition 20's but they are taller and I am thinking they would not ride as soft because of the wheel size.
