    My $0.02, Just installed my spare rebuilt, w/flutter stack, shocks, by Forged Off Road, inside Eibach springs, low perch. Had them at mid perch for a week, made the truck jittery, switched to low very smooth and gave me the 2 inches of lift I wanted. Also installed a set of Deaver +2 Leaf...

    Thanks @Louisiana Barefoot, the connection to the MAS was one of the number of plugs I checked. As @FordTechOne is noting that there seemed to be a network issue. There are a couple of individual sensor errors, most seemed to have been some type of hiccup in communication. Neither of my code...

    Thanks for the input! The remote start is the factory system. I have 2 scan tools, both are OBD Link's. One is blue tooth, the one I pulled the codes with on my phone. The other one is USB to my computer. I will check to see if I can run a network check. It's interesting that you mention the...

    The other day my 2011 scab decided to give me a surprise. Remote started the truck, after about 10 minutes I got in and put the key in the ignition and turned on. All seemed fine. Put in Drive, toggled gears down to 2, in parking lot don't need it in 3rd. All seemed fine no warning lights...

    Lightweight, Quiet, Road-centric All-Terrain Tires

    After 45k the Coopers are still just as quite as when I first put them on. I'm running them at 35 psi, with even wear at 15/64" tread left to wear bar.

    Lightweight, Quiet, Road-centric All-Terrain Tires

    Another one for the Cooper AT3 xlt's. I'm running the 37", 6 tire rotation with 45K on them. I'm in Wisconsin and my truck is my dd, don't matter the weather the Coopers handle it all. When I first got my truck it had the Toyo M/T's, would get stuck in the car wash, had to put in 4x to get out...

    Tire rotation questions

    Gen 1, 6 tire rotation, have all tires marked. Back cross to front, front left to spare, front right to storage. Previous spare to left rear, previous storage to right rear. Every 7500 @ oil change.

    Thoughts on Vision X LED Light Cannons

    Not really noticeable the light beam is fairly focused. The hood is brighter but really no glare.

    Thoughts on Vision X LED Light Cannons

    I just put the VisionX 4.5" 40w on my A pillars, love them. Great distance. Put the clear spot lens on, after painting the edge. Excellent set up great lights. Also have blue lens for snow.

    Options/Experiences with Tires

    When I bought my truck it had Toyo MT's. Good off road performance, good on road/daily driver. They were not great in wet weather. Fairly good in deep snow, live in WI, but not really good in the thin slush, bit better in deeper stuff. Road noise was not bad considering they were 37's. When it...

    Is fuse 27 swap really necessary?

    The OP can look at it this way, he has the kit, it ain't broke, so fix it when it breaks.

    Got mine from Rock Auto as well, about 20k on them now with no problems. Keep us informed about returning them.

    2011 6.2 gear position on dash, it’s missing

    And if you go into dash setting and click memory, the gears will light up every time you put the shifter in Drive.

    front camera mod

    I recieved an email from naviks.com, "Hi, soon as we find the car locally in the New York City area. Thank you" NAViCS is looking for a Gen 1, 2011, 2012 to proof out their product. So if anyone is interested in getting the camera set up done, this maybe a good opportunity to get it at a discount.

    front camera mod

    Thanks. Thanks for digging Chzhead, I sent them an email about their product and their reply, "Hi, we have yet to test our solutions for the 2011 F-150 once we test and verify we will contact you.Thank You" So for now it looks like we get to keep searching for something, cheaper.

    GEN 1 Front Axle Shaft Replacement?

    Fords part number: AL3Z-4B416-A. As much as I like Rock Auto and Timkin parts, I strongly recommend going with FoMoCo. I have learned the hard way that if I don't want my half shafts seeping to use OEM seals and shafts. They don't really leak as in drops but just enough to keep things in the...
