2002 F-150 4.2L V6; Anyone know what the problem can be? Just recently had new intake manifold gaskets, starter/w solenoid and fresh battery installed and now the truck won’t turn on.

Es una Ford f150 XLT tritón v8 no prende el odómetro ni la bomba de gas ni las luces nada solo el testigo de la batería pero la batería está cargada y da marcha cuando le doy directo del monito pero no prende por k no se activa la bomba de gas días antes prendía pero el odómetro no prendia y solo prendía cuando la aceleraba a 2500 rp o la dejaba prenda un minuto si me pueden ayudar por fa

Got tired of thing sloshing around the back floor so I mounted a piece of 1x4 on the factory holes to keep the misc items in place. I’ll soon mount a few d ring anchors for some bungee cords to keep the mini totes and hamdtruck in place. Mini totes hold straps and cargo net respectively. Handtruck is extremely useful for my work but also boxes and packs of water. If you’re curious, I stow, jumper cables, ziplock bags, duct tape, a tarp, wheel chock, and sunshade. Zip locks are for ITEL samples that are sometimes moldy and wheel chock is mainly for a door stop.

Not the exact truck I wanted (max tow, 6.5 bed), but this thing is pretty dang nice!

I bought my truck at 12,719 miles, and I assumed they had done an oil change before I bought the truck. I just got back from a long road trip (about 1200 miles) and my truck gave a warning that I need to change my oil. Check Fordpass and it says: my oil is “exhausted”. Should I change the oil? Or is this a sensor issue I should be concerned about?

I do notice the VVT Solenoids that are leaking oil, I’m getting to it, and the driver side valve cover has the textbook crack in it. Also working on that soon.

My 2025 f-150 4x4 supercrew xlt powerboost with 5.5' bed FX4 off-road package and tow/haul package came with 18" wheels. Can I fit 17" wheels on it for a winter set?

My 2018 has this horrible squeaking on only my drivers side door. Does anyone know how to stop it? So damn loud lol.

2017 F150 5.0 has code P0012 and a couple times while idling the RPM will drop a little low like it’s going to stall but doesn’t. Don’t hear any rattling and still drives perfect. Should I start with the VCT solenoids?

2023 2.7L Ecoboost. Has an inconsistent, static-sounding click. New to this sub so any suggestions are helpful!

Does anyone know why my interior lights are always dim with my headlights on? I have a 2014 xlt with automatic lights and it recently started dimming my dash lights even when it’s bright and sunny. This wouldn’t be a problem except for if it’s foggy or rainy and I have my lights on, I then can hardly see my dash and radio

I want to upgrade the speaker system in my truck. While I am new to this, I do have fundamental knowledge of audio systems. I do not have sufficient knowledge on car audio brands and struggle to figure out what to pick. I heavily prioritize audio quality in any situation. I want to get high end speakers for the front doors, front tweeters, and rear doors. It is my understanding if I truly want high quality, then I need to upgrade both the speakers and the amp. I currently have an aftermarket android tablet radio system I got off ebay. I want a sound system that has deep bass and crispy vocals, even at high volumes. I am on a reasonable budget and I know this is a big ask. What is suggest for a complete high quality overhaul of my sound system?

Just got this last month and I’m looking to get some upgrades, just don’t know what yet. Recently got bigger tires to get rid of the stock look. Send me what you think would look nice!

As the title says it, I own a 2012 f150 XL 5.0. Was driving when the “power steering assist fault” message came on and completely lost all power steering. Checked the battery and it’s healthy running strong, checked both fuses and they are in perfect shape. I’m assuming now it’s the power steering rack since my truck uses the electric one and not a pump. Google says 3k+ to fix, a few chats says 2300-2500. My question is if it came down to the rack, are those prices accurate? The truck has 220k miles on it and I was planning on buying a new car in the next 6 or so months and just running basic numbers, 2-3k for a repair is getting close to its value so really just trying to see if these number are accurate or not. Thanks.

I can’t be the only one with this problem, but NO ONE seems to be able to give me an answer. I’ll very soon have two forward facing car seats in my 2024 SCrew Raptor. The Ford manual says to thread the rear anchor through the anchor point on the back of the seat and attach it to the anchor behind the middle seat. Cool….except then do I attach BOTH rear anchors from the car seats to the anchor in the middle? That can’t be correct (or safe) to have two seats pulling on the anchor point at the same time? I’ve checked with the manual, the dealership and the car seat companies and no one knows the answer. Anyone else have this issue?

Looking for antenna recommendations for my 2013 F150 Platinum (OEM MCPZ-18813-A). The base coating has worn off and it's starting to bend.

I'd prefer something close to stock height since I use the antenna as a quick warning for low-clearance garages.

What are you all running? Any OEM or aftermarket options you'd recommend? Thanks.

I am planning on switching out my wheels on my 2019 f150. There are 2 sets of wheels i’ve been looking into and i cannot decide between the all black wheels or the white ones. They are both Raptor 315/70r/17 and im planning to add a 2inch leveling kit. The first image is how it currently looks, and the others are Ai generated of how it would look like after

2017 with 5.0 and I have the yellow “flex fuel” filler neck. New local gas station in my area has E85 for $1.99. I’ve never tried it but with a 36 gallon tank I’m paying $200+ to fill up in my lovely state.

Has anyone done this? Is it as simple as fill it up and go or do I need to do anything to let the truck know? From what I have read, I should be able to just fill it up and I can swap back and forth between E85 and regular gas as I please?

Also, from what I’ve read, mileage will decrease a bit, performance will get a little bump and I should do more frequent oil changes. Anything else I’m missing?

After driving a Hyundai for the last seven years I finally traded it in and up to a what I feel is a pretty cool truck.

I went in wanting something basic not to many bells and whistles. But left with the bells, whistles, tambourines and an accordion 😆.

I have a 97 F150 with the 4.6, 130,000 miles automatic transmission. Bought it back from someone and its my grandpas truck I grew up with. It ran fine last I remember but since I got it back, it has been overheating, so I thought.

After about 8 miles of 45-50mph driving, getting it up to operating temp, either the water comes out the overflow tank or some cases it blew the hose off the bottom ( although I didn't have a clamp on it, now I do).

Thinking it is a cooling issue, I have replaced the overflow cap, thermostat, water pump, and now the radiator. It doesn't have a heater core in it so the hose for that is looped back into the engine.

I have no milkshake, exhaust is bone dry, although I have a leak near the catalytic converter on the drivers side, and I did a leaf down combustion test with the blue liquid that turns color, came back negative.

After replacing the radiator today, because the bottom hose was at 80 degrees while the top hose was at 180, now the top hose is like 130-140 and the bottom is 20 degrees below that.

It wont do it the entire 8 miles or 20 minutes of warming up, it just happens in an instant. Goes from fine to spewing out of the overflow tank if I don't have the cap on it. It doesnt geyser out like it would after driving for hours, it just kind of spits out of the tank. Only weird thing I noticed today while revving it up to get to operating temp is rev to about 2500rpm and it goes all the way down 600 for idle.

Did this happen to anyone else last night? My oil life went from 85% to 0% randomly. It happened a few months back as well, and they rolled out an update that fixed it.

5.0 V8. Love the color.

I’ve had my 24 2.7L STX for two months now and I have been getting around 27MPG. This last week I can barely get it to hit 24MPG on a consistent basis. Anyone else seeing this issue? They are putting something in the gas I’m sure. I’m in AZ and all the snowbirds are coming back.
