    I'm in the process of equipping my 2008 Sport Trac for flat towing and have scheduled an appointment with my Ford dealer to re-program the control module for the transfer case for placing it in neutral position. The problem is the only neutral tow switch available seems to be one without the...

    RV battery drains while towing: Ford 150 fix?

    Presume that there is nothing abnormal about the RV connections. The 7way socket on the truck was checked with a voltage meter. I don’t remember the output voltage with the truck on but when i checked it it was within specs. But the RV battery drains more than it recharges while towing. The...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    For those of you having experience with Ford's trailer TPMS system, can I get a 5th sensor to monitor the spare? My impression is that it will monitor up 6 tires. If true, I can register the spare as a 5th tire and ignore the 6th, but I haven't confirmed that. Also, in my experience, the truck...

    Ford trailer TPMS

    I just bought a new-in-box Ford wired camera and TPMS kit. (I don't have it, yet.) The kit has 4 TPMS sensors. I want one for the spare, too. I assume the sensors in the trailer kit are the same as installed on new vehicles. Are TPMS sensors a generic item that any tire shop carries? Or do I...

    Are There New Ford 7.3L V8 Problems?

    I was getting a Tx flush at my Ford dealer on my F53 6.8L V10 and he mentioned in our conversations that the new V8 is having problems - If I recall he said problems with the cam shaft. Has anyone here heard or experienced anything with their V8?

    Ford trailer TPMS

    I'm contemplating adding a Ford trailer TPMS kit to my trailer. Specs for the sensors state that: I have no clue whether the 15 inch wheels on my Mini-Lite match that description. Can someone share their wisdom on the matter?

    Improvement Valve Stems on Ford E450 SuperDuty

    So I'm putting new tires on both of my rear duallys and want to put the best metal valve stems in I can find. I believe my outer tire has a metal stem but the inside tire has a long rubber stem to access for air. I also use TST flo-thru sensors on the end of each that need to be held securely...

    Thetford grinder grinding on something...

    Anytime I turned the Thetford grinder on when emptying the waste tanks, it would routinely makes a loud grinding and rattling sound. Now it has bound up and won't spin, so had to pull the bottom cover to see what the issue is. I find a cutout chunk of my rig's gray floor tile wedged in it. My...

    Ford 6.2/10 vs Chevy 6.6/6?

    I'm looking for a new used truck to haul the family around and tow recreationally. I'd like to go gas for both budget constraints and avoiding diesel emissions problems. In my budget I can find F350s with the 6.2 and 10 speed, and Chevy/GMC 3500s with 6.6 and 6 speed. Truck will be crew cab, box...

    2024 2350le ford spare tire info

    I own a 2024 Sunseeker 2350le built on a Ford chassis, which interestingly doesn't include a spare tire. However, there is a rod attached underneath the chassis intended for holding a spare. I'm curious if a spare tire could actually fit in this designated spot, and if so, why the model doesn't...

    Ford Dealership

    For my oil change, I first contacted the two local Ford Dealerships. Neither of them was willing to have anything to do with a 32 foot Class A (FR3-30DS) motorhome. They both said that it was too big for their shop and they just did not do any work in their parking lot; not even an oil change...

    Following information in a thread several years old, I have been able to successfully drain my BW hot water tank each year. However this afternoon when I opened the pressure relief valve, I only got less than a half cup of water out, dribbling very slowly. The only thing I can think of that I...

    Ford V8

    Really like the new motor. We have a 40’ motor home. Had the V10 in a 38’ before. V8 has more power and is quite. Fuel economy slightly better. 8 to 9 versus 7 to 8.
