Sooooooo - if the VIN stamped on the chassis is what they want, give it to them? I mean, part of me wants to know if they're really going to get underneath an look at the chassis - I'm doubtfull. But get a VIN plate (available on Amazon), put the same vin thats on the windsheild/door and...
We can argue all day, both sides of whether or not they are more advanced and never settle the issue.
I have a few observations though (I'll try to keep the politics out of it, but it is inherently a political issue)....
1 - they may be superior at manufacturing batteries, but its not because...
Yeah - I'd probably just leave it since its pretty close unless I found someone local that would be willing to update it for me. I doubt the dealer would, and I suspect that like you said, most shops don't have the capability (yet).
Interesting point about the ODO, and efficiency calcs - I...
Did they recalibrate the speedometer for you, or did you just leave it? Any other calibration done as part of the lift? I know you didnt mention anything, but was wondering if maybe the shop adjusted lights and/or any sensor alignment when they did the lift.
Thanks for the feedback!
I'm really not too worried about the ride or efficiency getting worse - I really expect that ride will be a bit rougher with more rubber (more truck like ride) and efficiency impacted as well. I was most concerned about anything related to the spacers and vibrations...
Nice writeup - and I love the way it makes the truck look. I'm a huge fan of smaller wheels, and more rubber!
Any update on ride quality - specifically with the spacers? Any vibration or wobble? That's the only thing that's really making me nervous about pulling the trigger on this mod.
Finally got my truck back!
Per the tech, they have never seen or even heard of this happening and they ended up replacing the latch twice, and a few modules/actuators. All in, parts and labor, according to them was over $6k. They had the truck a for 9 days, which I'm kinda impressed by - I...
**** UPDATE - if anyone cares.
Dealer says that the latch mechanism physically broke. This is the first time they have ever seen that happen according to them. During their troubleshooting they also discovered a module that needs to be replaced.
Parts are supposed to arrive today. ??
Well, I was really kinda hoping the dealer would have some magic way of making me look stupid and get it working as soon as it got there, but nope.
They're "investigating" ??‍♂️
Thanks - I'll let you know how it goes. May need some help getting a loaner/rental. My dealer already told me they don't have anything for me, and I can't not have transportation.
It's definitely trying to.
If I press the button on the frunk or in the cab it will try to go up, hit the latch then stop.
I have tried to push it closed - it won't latch.
I've tried having someone pull on it as it's trying to go up, also no dice.
I have pulled on the manual release and got...
Could be - but I'm not getting any errors and it will try to open, it's just the latch that won't release.
I guess I'll be having Ford roadside assistance come pick it up in the morning and take it to my dealer. ??‍♂️
Hey guys....
Hit frunk release this morning and it released the first latch (so now it's loose and says "frunk ajar") but cannot get it to open or close again.
Pressing the key fob does nothing. The button on the trunk will try and lift it , but it gets caught by the latch and stops - the...
