Bilstein’s are the worst thing I ever did to this truck

42 Upvotes

4600’s. They are stiff and jarring. Every bump and dip is shit. I’m going back to stock asap. They are like clouds for street driving. I don’t understand the amazing reviews for these, they are horrible for daily driving and somehow millions of people across all vehicles use them every day I can’t see the appeal. The truck handles perfectly fine stock

These are worth every bit of 100$ I spent on them. Look good on the truck and are very bright for the size. Wasn't too hard to install but it definitely takes some knowledge. Took me about 45 minutes to install.

Help, low RPMs when driving between 40-60mph

0 Upvotes

I drive a 2013 XLT with 250k miles. I'm getting unusually low RPMs when I'm not speeding up at 40-60mph, if I maintain speed, I only get about 1k RPMs rather than the usual just below 2k RPMs. When I get above 65, it starts getting closer to 2k, how bad is this? I think it's the torque converter, but taking it to a shop, all they did was check the codes and saw nothing wrong.

Questions on the V6. Buying my first F150

• Upvotes

I am looking to buy my first F150 and have some questions. My number one concern is reliability. I will be buying used and looking at trucks with higher mileage(probably around 100k), as this will be a work truck, only short distances and I plan to drive it a good ten years.

First, I don't know jack about cars, but I have read and talked with others(and this forum) that the V8 has good track record for longevity and reliability. I have heard and read bad reviews on the V6, but was recently talking with someone and said if you get a V6 make sure it is at least a 2022 because they worked out whatever the issues were.

Any insight would be appreciated!

I found this on my 2024 F150. I unplugged it. The long cable goes behind the trim and to the floor towards the rear. Any idea what it is? I don’t thinks it’s OEM, but I could be wrong.

Best aftermarket projector LED headlight for 2026 F150?

Was hoping morimoto made some but none for this year yet. What’s the second best option? My XLT has LED’s but I can’t stand reflector type where lights scatter everywhere and blind others.

Headlight bulb recommendations

I’m looking for some led replacements for my 14 f150 with the h13 bulbs. I’ve been looking around and seen lots of options and had bought a $100 pair at Walmart and honestly they’re not much brighter than the stock headlights.

Stick with hard shell cover?

Hi all, I recently got a 2018 STX V8 5L and it came with the hard cover from ford. It’s been great for family trips with kids luggage, bikes, etc, but I may be using the bed more for home projects etc. is this a good cover? Some of the vertical space is limited so not sure if any of the other market ones available do better for 1 - traveling with two toddlers and 2 - also doing home projects and carrying wood, furniture, pavers, etc

Upgraded from 2013 5.0 to 2023 XLT 2.7 4x4 with 30k miles for $32.5k

Sold my 2013 XLT 5.0 to a family member and upgraded to a 2023 XLT 2.7 4x4 with just over 30k miles on it. Wife got tired of me borrowing her car for out-of-town work commutes and needed something better on gas (didn't need the power of the 5.0 as much as when I purchased).

Had a PPI and drove 5.5 hours to pick it up for $32.5k. Believe I got a great deal.

7.2 kw powerboost hard to find on Lariat

• Upvotes

I previously had a 2022 Lariat that was Fx4, 502A but only had the 2.4 kw power on board. I adored the truck and it broke my heart when someone swiped my entire passenger side and totaled it. I want another powerboost but am adamant on the 7.2 kw functionality. I am finding it very difficult to find a USED lariat with that upgrade. Are most of you buying these NEW with them made-to-order or are you just getting lucky on the used market? I enjoyed the hybrid, but if I don’t get this upgrade id consider going 5.0 coyote instead for simpler powertrain.

2017 F-150 5.0L — Wrench light, lost gear indicator, barely moved, now won’t crank. Transmission or electrical?

2 Upvotes

I’ve got a 2017 F-150 King Ranch 5.0L with the 6R80 transmission, just shy of 100k miles. Had a pretty strange failure today and I’m curious if anyone has experienced something similar.
Was driving in traffic when the wrench light suddenly came on and the truck lost almost all ability to accelerate. Luckily, I was close to a parking lot.

The engine was still running, and I could feel the RPMs increasing when I pressed the accelerator, but the truck would only crawl along at maybe 5–10 mph regardless of throttle input. It almost felt like the transmission wasn’t transferring power, although I can’t say for certain.

I also noticed that the PRNDM21 gear indicator on the dash was no longer highlighting which gear I was in. All the letters were there, just no indication of the selected gear.
I managed to get parked, shut the truck off, and waited a few minutes. When I tried restarting, absolutely no luck.

Current symptoms:
Push-button ignition powers up the dash and electronics, but the engine won’t crank.
No engine response at all when attempting to start.
The wrench warning remains on with “See Manual.”
The gear indicator still doesn’t highlight Park, Neutral, or any other position.
The shifter physically moves between gears once the ignition is on.
I may have noticed a faint burning smell while limping into the parking lot, but I’m not 100% certain.
No obvious electrical issues, strange shifting, or other warning signs before this happened.

Here’s the interesting part: I had the transmission lead frame replaced by an independent transmission shop approximately 15k–20k miles ago because the truck was slipping between gears. It’s driven perfectly fine since that repair.
I had the truck flatbed-towed back to that same transmission shop tonight. They’ll take a look tomorrow.
I’m wondering whether this sounds like another lead-frame/range-sensor issue, a wiring or connector problem, a charging-system failure, or something more serious inside the transmission.

My two big questions:
Has anyone experienced this particular combination of symptoms, especially the missing gear indication followed by a no-crank condition? What ended up being the problem?
Is an independent transmission shop the right place to diagnose this, or does the combination of electrical and transmission symptoms suggest I should be taking it to a Ford dealer or a shop specializing in electrical diagnostics?
I’m hoping it’s something electrical rather than a cooked transmission, but I’m prepared for bad news.
Appreciate any thoughts, especially from Ford techs or anyone familiar with the 6R80.
