    trouble shooting a bad coil pack (or more)...

    I bought a bluetooth dongle which can be had from $20 up to $100 depending on quality. Then I bought the TORQUE PRO app for Android. It is a code reader. It can also read PENDING CODES which often is how coil misfires start. It also has virtual gauges you can use. I actually have an old...

    Ignition Free Spin

    If the ignition just spins around, then it's faulty. If you pull it out you can see how it works with the key. It shouldn't just spin. With every neutral safety switch I've ever dealt with, it wouldn't even engage the starter. That's the point of it. It will only start in neutral or park...

    Block heater

    In previous winters we've had temps at 5 degrees F with windchill making it -10. At those temps, I'd start the truck and it would shut off after a few seconds. I'd do this 4 or 5 times until it would stay running on it's own. I try not to move until Engine temps hit 80F. Yesterday when I...

    Custom Or Aftermarket Seat Divider !!!!

    Mine has the seatbelt brackets like I said, and 4 screws in the bottom that basically just bite into the carpet. Mine is for prisoners, so I also have plexiglass wings on the side.

    Custom Or Aftermarket Seat Divider !!!!

    I do but I switched phones so many times this year, I'll have to look for them. I can also take some new ones. Any specific detail you want to see up close?

    30" Light Bar

    I had a buddy get pulled over for his 12 inch LED light bar. First the officer said it had to be covered. My friend should have let that go and took him to court. It only has to be covered (like KC lites) if it's above the head lights. His is on his push bar. So he told the cop that. He...

    Working on engine- what do you stand on?

    I'm 6'3" but I've always wanted one of those topside creepers. My driveway is slanted, so I park the truck with the front tires on the street to sort of "tip" the truck forward. I've also used ramps under the rear wheels to do the same thing. Not a HUGE difference, but it helps. My issue...

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    Yep. Monday I plan to stop by and get another key cut. I guess I can put the road flare back in the garage. Thanks for everyone's suggestions.

    extra key... oh yeah, I need one!

    I bought a cut transponder key from the dealer UNPROGRAMMED for $16. He even cut a blank that I had. So if it's for your third key that you can program yourself, thats one option. I didn't think it would be so cheap from the dealer.

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    SHE LIVES! A buddy put me in touch with a Ford Technician. He borrowed the scanner from work and checked my system. The key I had wouldn't accept programming. Everything else with the system was fine. He had told me to get an unprogrammed PATS key from the dealer to have ready for him to...

    I think my key lost it's programming, how do I get the truck started?

    I'm not exactly sure what this is. I did pull the column plastics off and remove the lock cylinder. I cleaned the contacts on the lock,and inside the socket with an eraser,but they didn't look that dirty to begin with. I couldn't try to start it because the battery is low from sitting . I...
