  1. Replacing rear shocks, having difficulty aligning bottom bolt

    Hello, i would say start to finish with someone to assist, each side would be about 35 mins if all goes as planned. So it could be done under 2 hours., and no i actually had an alignment done before i decided to change out the struts, i did both front and rear then took it back to the dealer to...
  2. Replacing rear shocks, having difficulty aligning bottom bolt

    No worries. I almost started crying but had to compose myself as my wife watched laughing at me. It is all fun now. I waited a week to redo it all over when she was not home LOL.
  3. Replacing rear shocks, having difficulty aligning bottom bolt

    I know that, this is what happens under stress and frustration, read the header ( All the options i tried before i figured it out. have someone stand on the caliper and rotor assembly and apply weight and watch it gradually come down. As you can see my spring perch was upside down lifting the...
  4. Replacing rear shocks, having difficulty aligning bottom bolt

    Folks i went through the same problem. you would need another hand, if you are working off the floor this will be the best option. Take off the rear axle drive shaft nuts 36 inch socket needed on each side it would drop down, then have the second person stand on the rotors/rear wheel assembly...
  5. Resale value for the F150L Platinum

    I own a 2023 Platinum, paid MSRP $93k - $15k discount so paid $78k. With 31k miles on it at the moment, honestly i am not surprised due to the fact that it is an electric vehicle. I have just decided not to check on the depreciation. I will keep driving it till the wheels fall off and let the...
  6. Rear Shock Application

    The rear struts are very different from any application. The front struts are the same with the ICE truck. I replaced my front and rear struts on my 23 platinum at 28k miles. I bought the Eibachs all around and It no longer bounces around and it is steady and rides better. It would initially be...
  7. Fix bouncy suspension?

    I have a F550 that’s painful to ride in. So no doubt this is a very comfortable ride. But I guess most of us want it almost perfect.
  8. Fix bouncy suspension?

    Eibachs all around will fix that.
  9. Spare batteries in bed charging the truck

    Nice Job, but make sure ford does not get your information because they are looking for every reason to deny warranty repairs these days.
  10. OEM built-in center console lock... Who Knew? (I certainly didn't know)

    Hello folks, never leave your key fob in your truck or car locked away, remember if the vehicle is broken into it can be driven away like nothing ever happened. Then it makes it look like you handed the keys to the would be thief. I have a safe in mine and I always have my key fob. Learnt the...
  11. Ford Replaced my Entire Leather Interior

    It would have been easier in my opinion if they changed it to black leather covers as an option. I would totally take that.
  12. Ford Replaced my Entire Leather Interior

    It actually happens to all platinum trucks. It was the same situation with mine as well. I actually have a bigger problem with my driver seat lower back changing color at about 5000 miles, The seat cover has been on back order for 6 months now,
  13. Is 18.1K off MSRP a good deal for a 2024 Platinum?

    Yeah I would take the deal press them a little more say another 5k you might get lucky. I had a trade in as well. It was either the local deal or drive my ICE f150 with a funky transmission 1900+ miles to Maine from Texas for a $65k platinum or just take the local deal. You will enjoy the...
  14. Is 18.1K off MSRP a good deal for a 2024 Platinum?

    Sounds like the deal I got on my 12 platinum in march of 23. Sticker was $93k and I negotiated $20k off the price. But I would shop nationwide if you are up to driving long distance. The north eastern states have a lot of deals.
  15. Brand new 24 Lariat - already bricked :(

    Call ford corporate. The dealer is not required to give you a loaner as the cars are owned by the dealers not ford motor corporation. So tow it to the selling dealer. You would probably be out of a vehicle for 4-7 weeks. I went through a similar issue. My suspicion it would be the battery array...
