    PIAA RF 10s - amber fogs

    Alot of daylight here... Looks razor thin, but it does illuminate the ground as well. And the beam extends beyond 180° on either side.

    PIAA RF 10s - amber fogs

    I've always had a thing for PIAA lights, I'm not sure why... I picked up a couple RF10s to tinker with and I think I'll keep them mounted like this for now. Took a bit of time to craft the mounts: basically used both included PIAA mount kits and some aluminium angle... not sure this is a...

    What is Forscan and How Do I Use It?

    Signed up and approved within an hour... just followed instructions to get the program up and running >>> also ordered the suggested OBDII port with HS/MS switch. Hint: search "Forscan tutorial livinitup" - this dude made it real simple. So I've setup Lincoln-style mirror autofold, DRL is now...

    Factory fail?... power to upfitter switches

    ah poo... the owners manual is incorrectly indicates passenger fuse panel #35 (5 amp) as the Drive Mode fuse... this is actually a BCM fuse (found using Ford's VIN specific Workshop Manual) which was BLOWN and once replaced solved my issue. I got all worked up for nothing... I have my...

    New 19 Was sold to me by dealer and has been repainted

    I work at a Ford dealership, in the collision center, and have had similar questions asked all the time. First of all, the repair was under warranty(?) if it doesn't match (refinish) tell the dealership to fix it. Yes the repair will always be tied to the truck through Ford OASIS but I highly...

    GEN 2 1st Oil Change

    I have a hard time understanding why anyone would deviate from what Ford recommends (see 5.4L issues with filters other than Ford)... Ford hires the best and brightest minds to engineer the crap out of these engines. I bought a high performance vehicle, and I expect it to perform that way. I...

    Factory fail?... power to upfitter switches

    johnkn - I think I'm going that route... I know what needs to happen to get this electrical issue diagnosed and I'm not real interested to be honest... maybe later...? I just liked the idea of using one of the switches but mirror tap will be alot simpler either way. Thanks for sharing.

    Factory fail?... power to upfitter switches

    Odd... when my switches are forward (flipped towards front of vehicle) they have NO light of any color. When the switch is flipped back (towards the rear of the vehicle) the lights are blue... Disregarding the lights for now, which position is "ON"? *** Mounting inside cab

    Factory fail?... power to upfitter switches

    more basic question: what color should the overhead switches be when ON?

    Factory fail?... power to upfitter switches

    I was simply referring to the change from MY 17 to 18 where the underhood wiring was swapped... MY18: underhood: closest to engine = hot, closest to fender = pass-through to wires located on passenger footwell ---> I tested them all just to eliminate any and all questions in my mind...
