Mine started leaking so I stopped into the dealer. He ordered a new center mounted brake light assembly. He said that a new part number has been released - but that it was back ordered for 3 weeks. Who knows if that's the truth...

Mine do exactly the opposite - they are useless backing into a lined spot because they don't tilt down far enough to see the lines. If our trucks are different, it leads me to believe that it can be adjusted and set somehow...

Maybe I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but the mirrors on my '14 3500 don't tilt down nearly far enough. I've tried to put the truck in reverse, adjust the mirrors to where I'd like them to tilt to, but the memory function doesn't work when the truck is in gear. As soon as I go back to...

​Good idea - I'll post the text! Camouflaged aluminum Super Duty explodes then melts on desert highwayAnother month, another prototype fire. Following last month's Acura NSX Nurburgring meltdown, a 2016 Ford Super Duty pickup was spied catching on fire and exploding in the desert by some...

The competition is literally heating up!!! http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/2016-ford-f-series-super-duty-burns-during-testing?utm_source=DailyDrive20140804&utm_medium=enewsletter&utm_term=image-top&utm_content=body&utm_campaign=awdailydrive

So the subject EVICT message comes on yesterday while I'm driving - empty, highway speeds, fully warmed up. I scroll through and see that the message is displayed in the message center while I'm still driving. After I shut the truck down, when returned again a couple hours later, the message...

I wanted to give an update to the resolution of my problem. They were able to get the TBV that was robbed out of the inventory truck to flow at around 170. However, the transmission cooler in my truck would not allow compressed air to pass. They put compressed air on the cooler from the truck...

The saga continues. They put a new TBV from a truck in the lot. They have been unable to get the valve to open and allow ATF to get to the cooler even after warning it up to normal temps (high 180's on the EVIC. Additionally, they tried to blow air through the cooler and aren't getting any flow...

Thanks for the great info! Still camping in the lot of the Greaham Ram dealer - they just got approval to rob the part from a donor truck to get us on the road. A couple things. First, we were barely headed uphill at all when this occurred the real steep stuff is yet to come. My point is, it...

It sounds like that is exactly the problem. Apparently there is a check valve in a transmission line that is causing too much restriction. If I recall correctly, my empty transmission temp is in the 180-190 range although I've seen it as high as 230 empty. Today, on flat ground loaded I was...

Had my 3000# camper in the bed of my truck today. Drove about 4 hours - mostly flat - and didn't have any problem. Tow/haul selected w/exhaust brake. Started up the hill outside Gresham,OR over Mt Hood and had the 'Transmission Fluid Too Hot' alert chime. Followed the procedure in the users...

I think I'd rotate the tires and see what happens. Are they original with 53k on them?

I haven't had them ding yet. I was reading some of the other threads on this issue and it sounds like the 2500's system is maybe different than the 3500? It seems like the 2500 guys are having trouble with the warnings going off when the tire pressure is set too low but I think I've read that...

Great info - thanks guys. I think I would like to run 60 in the fronts since that is what is on the door placard. I don't have an easy way to get the actual axle weights, so I'm really going to have to just go by trial and error. Yesterday, I set them to 60/50. That seems much better, but the...

I just picked up my new 2014 SRW 3500. Unlike the 2012 I traded in, this truck doesn't show unloaded tire pressures on the door placard. It shows 60 psi front and 80 psi rear for the 275/70-18 tires. The ride is very firm. Since I normally run the truck unloaded, I'm trying to find some...
