After you have run the truck sufficiently enough for the trans temp indicator gauge to be registering (1/4 sweep or greater) and you stop for 10 to 30 minutes, have you noticed on the restart if your gauge immediately indicates or if it starts showing a zero sweep and then will slowly return to...
I use my 2017 to tow frequently (about 4,500#) and it does fine. Biggest impact is to the gas mileage which, since you seem to spend significantly more time in boost, can be horrific. The shape of the pulled load seems to have an impact too. Hauling a car and trailer from San Diego to...
It handles the weight just fine and it's as solid as a rock when it's elevated - if it does wobble it will be because you did something a little wrong!
I have the 7000# Quickjack and it makes things much easier. I have used it on the Raptor, SC F150 and a couple of sedans and found it to be beneficial. Downside is dragging the lifts from storage and into position under the car.
I haven't found that they obstruct access to anything and it...
Just coming up to 51,000 on my original KO2’s; could possibly squeeze another 3k out of them.
Agree that they are not the best wet tire and they’ve become noisy as they age, but will likely replace in-kind
I would like to hear your opinion after a few oil changes. The inner valve seal looks like it would deteriorate quite quickly and, personally, I would prefer that any metal is flushed out with the oil rather than retained inside by a magnet. Plus I don't care for the idea of having the second...
IMG_4019 by robbcwz posted Sep 27, 2018 at 7:13 PMI wonder if the tolerances between the pan flange thickness and bolt sleeves in the pan are, in some cases, such that the bolt bottoms out on the metal sleeve just enough to prevent a full seal on the gasket and allows leakage?
Then I am a retard in good company since IT IS IN WRITING WITH MANY MANUFACTURERS.
How much is too much?
Audi, BMW, and Subaru stick firmly to the statement that oil consumption is a normal part of a car’s operation. Subaru considers a quart burned every 1,000 to 1,200 miles to be...
You said 5000 miles originally and now you say 2000 miles - which excuse would youlike to adjust to; either way, you should be checking your oil at least every 1000 miles regardless of make and model. Most manufacturers consider 1-to2qt per 1000 miles "normal" these days so by waiting 5000...
Regardless of the vehicle, not checking your oil in 5k miles is pretty careless and abusive.

That’s a flaw in the owner, not a ensign flaw. Pure abuse if you’re not checking fluids frequently - and...
And you should think of how much the intelligence quota of this group would increase if you took your stupidity elsewhere! A review of your contributions equate to less than useless; you really either latch on to others comments but really offer nothing substantial. You must be Sasquatches...
My posting of the manual excerpt was in relationship to the previous comments of "only 91 OCT" when the manual was actually saying the you could go as low as the 87 and so you have taken my post somewhat out of context by using it for spark plug arguments and rather strange comments such as "Let...
Looks like something is a miss there. I have never seen that amount of dirt/debris on and around the oil pan when changing the oil. Looks very much as if your truck has gone through deep water or run pretty hard off road in the wet. The damage at the pan looks like someone has tried to...
I would like to add the actual temperature numbers above the water temp and the transmission temp gages; anyone close to Baton Rouge with the forscan tools who could be bribed into doing this since investing in the tools is not a good deal for me?
Jtnuge: Some random observations since you originated the thread.
1. From cold on a 36-deg morning running 75+ on the freeway the gage barely moved from a small bar at the C-end. However, when I exited the freeway, the bar rose into the normal (almost 1/2 way) range within minutes - almost...
It's filled with 7 qts from the factory for a number of reasons, but the refill (with filter) is 6 qts. It's all in the manual.

Was there any heat resistant material around your pan? I was surprised to find it surrounding most of my pan so I wonder if this problem is heat related in some way.
