Likely not. Gospel music. I'm a nobody honestly. But I love what I do and get paid well to do it so it's a win win. Flat towing the EL for the first time this coming Sunday headed from Texas to California...

Flat towed the EL for 1,000 miles now. No problems whatsoever. So easy to put transfer case into flat tow mode. Really really happy with my setup. Awesome engineering on this front Ford:

When you flat tow I am assuming the mileage does not show up on the Expy?

Gospel music, eh? Never quite understood what the point of that was.... oh well, if it pays the bills why not

No, ignition is turned off so miles do not rack up thankfully. Did notice tonight when I unhooked that the steering was pulling hard to the left. But after driving around for a while it fixed itself. Almost felt like the steering needed to recalibrate. Weird.

These trucks have electronic steering not hydraulic so if you turn the wheel from stop to stop it will recalibrate the center point.

Ok that's what I'll do from now on. I knew they were electronic just didn't know the recalibration sequence so I did exactly what you just mentioned: rack to rack and it did seem to fix it.

If you ever notice when you are driving with a cross wind and you have to hold the wheel into the wind after a while you have to hold it with less pressure because the system realizes what you are doing and takes away a lot of the effort you having to turn the wheel into the wind.

That would be nice to have. The hydrolic isn’t that smart.
