at least you got your 2013 before Ford Decided to beat it with the same Ugly Stick they used on the Super Doody. good luck with the F-150, everyone on my Dad's side was Born and Raised on Fords ( my grandpa had a MINT '01 Extended Cab in Arizona Beige with only 51K on it! he sold it to my uncle Ted, where it was involved in a Multi-Car Collision and Totaled.)

I got AMPs on my truck and like them. I am ready for the new 14s so I can get one. But I can tell you that it too will have AMPs. They bare awesome. PITA to install on a Chevy with the door panel removal.

Really? I installed them on my 2010 Z (in my signature), I thought they were easy, just way too damn time consuming. And it's more difficult with only one person lol. This time I will have a buddy help.

curious what made you decide on 285/55/20's? just like the size better? an old neighbor of mine had a 2011 F150 with level and 305/55/20's and it looked fantastic.

The 285's were just sitting there at the dealership the night I bought the truck. A customer never showed to get the tires, so the accessories manager pretty much gave them to me as long as they could put them on that night before I left lol I think I payed $60 just for mount and balance. My next set will be a 305...... may be pretty soon just for the hell of it. I will then sell these that only have 6k on them.

They were as you say time consuming. Not hard. Needed a helper. This is funny. I did it at night and i was using a flashlight. When I got done I was looking for it only to realize I left the damn thing in the door. I was using the light to feed the wire tube through the rubber line and left it in the passenger door. I of course removed it. Not hard again but time consuming.

-Needed a bigger back seat (Flat floor is a plus as well)

-Wanted a fully loaded, every option available truck

-Wanted better mileage

-Wanted more power

-Got an awesome deal on this Ford through a buddy

.......and so on.

how hard was it to solder in the resistors for the LED turn signal lights(or did you even use them)?

 

 

What do you mean by turn signal lights??

i probably commented on this thread earlier, but that is an awesome looking truck. that style of F150's are great trucks and they look great with whatever the color matched package is. id consider an F150 next time around.

 

i hope that the new GM crew cabs will have comparable room to the F150's, the GMT900 CC's dont have nearly enough room in the back seat.

      Is 2027 GMC Yukon Getting a 682-HP Supercharged V8?

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      Would you supercharge the 6.2L on a 2021 GMC Yukon Denali XL with ProCharger?.... 605HP is the stated number without going crazy - it's not the LT4 682HP package, but I'm tempted to install it... This vehicle was ... not... recalled on the engine swap - but I don't really know if that means ...don't do it... or do it;)    Maybe i should start a prediction market pool on it in case it blows up;)   Any thoughts appreciated - I already OWN the supercharger - stopped the installation when the recall was announced and now it's taking up space in storage until I can solve an electrical issue with the vehicle...  4th GMC suburban-equivalent truck - I like them a lot - when they don't a) discharge their batteries randomly, or b) throw a rod at highway speeds;)

      2021 Yukon Electrical Issues

      By CaptPat51 · Posted

      We tested the sleep mode with an ammeter in series with the negative battery terminal - 30amp fused - so we do know the actual shutdown and non-shutdown current draws and timing of the shutdown sequence.  We just have no protocol information to determine what module is issuing the network keep alive.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      TrueBlue...Even if you don't have that info stuff displayed, If Mr. Computer thinks there's something you should know about, it will pop up a warning message no matter what else is being displayed. I keep the speedometer displayed all the time, yet the brake pad message pops up anyway.

      BTW, the 11.5amp draw is all the usual systems active - it's not a single draw - that's the "we're all awake" state of the vehicle - forinstance if the power steps are actuated, the draw will spike to 22amps for that operation.  when the battery is disconnected and then reconnected, the vehicle shuts down that one time only - and we see a 10-15minute progression down 11.5  10.5  9. 8 6. 5. 1.6... 500ma... and then off to sleep at 40 milliamp... as expected.  So we know it's a module that is simply refusing to allow the SDGM to proceed to the sleep state.  We do NOT think it is the telematics VIM module - since we already duplicated the problem with the "VIM bypass" solution installed (we reverted that since it also disables the gmc app - but it does not appear that the telematics system is the culprit).  We've replaced the rear heater control module, tested without the wireless charger, and the other modules on CAN Bus 5 - but still something is keeping us awake and removing X2 from SDGM allows sleep to proceed.  We cannot diagnose from OBD since OBD drops off at about the 9volt level in sleep mode and we can't communicate with the vehicle - also we can't trace the SDGM internal packets from the OBD side - we have Autel Ultra.   Any ideas on why disconnecting X2 would allow sleep to proceed appreciated.  This is no longer a repair situation - this vehicie is simply unusable in this condition and NOBODY at GMC Dealer can even understand what it is doing.  This is crazy.  We made these systems too complex and now we're paying the price.

      Did this ever get solved?   I'm chasing 2021 Yukon Denali electrical issues - vehicle will not enter sleep mode - we can disconnect and reconnect the battery and it will sleep - but that's likely because we powered down whatever module doesn't correctly sleep.  once we start/accessory the vehicle and turn off, it will stay at 11.5 amp draw with something keeping the SDGM alive - it appears to be activity on the X2 segment, specifically CAN FD Bus 5 - but we don't know which device and we think we've already isolated all of the devices on that segment - so what keeps the BCM and/or the SDGM alive is unknown.   I don't yet have a packet trace from CAN 5 (and since this Global B we might not get much info from it) - but the vehicle has been down for 8 weeks and previously GMC Dealer was unable to resolve "kills battery" issues with this particular vehicle - so I'm at a loss - it seems to be beyond local repair capabilities - and the number of "telematics keeps vehicle from sleeping" posts indicates this whole architecture has major issues - I hate to say it, but we might have to install a battery cutoff switch on the front grill - one of those red boat switches - to turn off the vehicle.;)  Any pointers appreciated;)  I just bought a CAN FD interface and I'm planning to try Savvycan and Peak Can SW to triage this further.
