    Death Wobble!!!!

    In the shop for 24 hours. I feel for the Ford service guys that are caught in the middle. It sure as heck isn't their fault.

    Death Wobble!!!!

    So here is an update on my 2017 F250 DEATH WOBBLE issue. IT'S FUC*ING BACK. 6000 miles after basically having the whole front end rebuilt and it has come back with a vengeance. Pretty dang scary to have the steering wheel ripped out of your hands at 65mph. Back in the shop for a third time...

    Death Wobble!!!!

    Reimbursement for my rental car has been approved. I'm now waiting for the check. My selling dealer, Horne in Apache Junction, AZ, was very instrumental in the reimbursement process. Since my truck is not a daily driver it will be May before I start putting the miles on it. I'll report back good...

    Death Wobble!!!!

    I started this thread after experiencing repeated severe instances of "Death Wobble" while visiting family in Michigan. I did check to see if there were any active recalls issued on my 2017 F-250. None. After the work on my front end was completed I haven't had any repeats. I'm now home in...

    Death Wobble!!!!

    I've read about people experiencing a death wobble on trucks that have accumulated some mileage but not on practically new completely stock units. In October while on vacation the steering wheel was practically ripped out of my hands when my 2017 F-250 4x4 Super Duty went into a front end...

    110 volt 400w outlet

    Using Ohm's law the truck supplies 3.63 amps. 400w/110v =3.6363A The pad on maximum setting is 150w/120V=1.25A. The supplied power is not the issue. I believe that I've gotten the answer. Some of my RV friends have inverters in their motor homes and they have noticed that none of their AC...

    110 volt 400w outlet

    As stated truck outlet is 400watts @ 110 volts AC and pad draws 150watts max when set on high.

    110 volt 400w outlet

    I own a 2017 F250 equipped with the auxiliary 110 v 400w in cab power outlet When my wife plugs her heating pad into this outlet (pad draws 150watts max) it works but the pads hand control gets very hot and the view screen on it goes black. It works fine on normal house power. Is this issue...

    What did you pay for your 6.7 diesel?

    In Sept I bought a new 2017 F250 XLT. 4x4, locking diff, 5th wheel prep, spray in liner, chrome package, BLISS system, backup camera, etc. $60,900 list $54,800 purchase. It does have the shorter bed since the full length 8ft bed wouldn't fit well in my parking space. The 8 ft bed would have...

    Can the Sync 3 Nav safety be disabled

    My 2017 F250 with the Sync 3 Nav system won't allow data to be inputted while moving. I understand the reasoning behind this but you'd think that when the passenger seat sensor detected a passenger it would then allow you to input info. On a previous vehicle there was a secrete button that would...

    2017 Cruise control question

    The video is a great idea. I mentioned the problem to my dealer and they are going to pose the question to Ford

    2017 Cruise control question

    I have a 2017 F250 6.7l and have a question relating to the cruise control. When set at speeds higher than 60mph the speed slowly creeps down below the set point. At about 5mph under the set point it kicks in and brings the truck up to speed. Not the best scenario for good fuel mileage. It's...

    I'm now in Washington and without the trailer attached I'm getting 18.5mpg. 3,300 miles on the clock. I'm happy with that
