    Can you open a damaged tailgate?

    That’s the last ditch plan. Pin box is held together by a bunch of mondo bolts so not trivial. h

    Can you open a damaged tailgate?

    It’s a Pullrite. It slammed latched and I tugged on it and it still came open. I used to drive big trucks and have hooked thousands of trailers, this doesn’t happen on big trucks. SMH.

    Can you open a damaged tailgate?

    It’s a 2019 Limited. The latches are electric. Both sides click when you pull the handle but won’t unlatch. I tried pushing in as hard as I can but that doesn’t seem to help. 2019

    Can you open a damaged tailgate?

    That’s the plan. It can only go so high without the pads on the back of the trailer touching the ground. We’ll see. Thanks!

    Can you open a damaged tailgate?

    So this painful. A 5th wheel hitch that appeared latched failed open and our hitch banged into the tailgate. It will not open electrically. (And we can’t raise the trailer high enough to clear it). If you remove the tailgate cover, can you manually open the latches? The only other idea I...

    Fuel Filter change interval?

    Hey, just did the oil change with the dash saying it was still 40% ok (about 10K miles). The fuel filters are reading the same (40%) and mechanic did NOT change those, saying he believes should only need to change fuel filters every 3rd oil change or so. (He may have been told this by Ford?)...

    Dealership fuel filter replacement quote

    I think I have the all time horror story, needed to have a warranty item done and the maintenance was due.. I told them while it's in the shop, lets change the oil, fuel filters, and rotate the tires. Bill came to a shade over $800. Noooo..dealer will not be doing that again.

    DPF stuck at 5%?

    Hey, my truck had the DPF gauge sit at 0 for 30,000 miles, and now all of a sudden it's varying between 5 and 25%. (?). There's no indication it's doing a full regen (is there supposed to be?). I took it out and drove it 50 miles on the freeway hoping it would purge itself out but that only...

    Cummins 6.7 "Cabin Heating"

    Hey, My truck does (what i consider)a funny thing when it's cold. It starts, and after a minute or 2 the computer runs the idle up to 1500 RPM and it sits there racing until i touch the gas pedal. (This would be during remote start). I guess it's a good feature, but the truck revving like...

    Towing a 5th Wheel with a lifted truck?

    I would prefer Bilstein shocks anyway if I don't go back to stock.

    Towing a 5th Wheel with a lifted truck?

    Here's a pic. Is this a spacer that can be removed? Do I need a replacement piece to go between the spring and the frame?

    Towing a 5th Wheel with a lifted truck?

    Can you buy the OEM springs at a dealer? (Is there a cheaper place? maybe a junk yard?). It's a 2019 (which I assume is still 5th gen in a 2500?), does that mean no parts from an earlier unit?

    Silly question (Bed Lights)

    Hey, on my 1500 limited, when you opened the tailgate, the bed lights came on (always). On my 2500 Limited they don't come on unless you open the door (?) and then they time out. I poked around in the settings menu and couldn't find anything that would change them. Is there something I can...

    Towing a 5th Wheel with a lifted truck?

    Actually I just went and crawled under the truck and it appears the lift is more likely a leveling kit that just affects the front. The back is air ride and it looks stock (and I'm not sure you could change the height of that anyway). Still worried the truck will ride nose up with the 5er...

    Towing a 5th Wheel with a lifted truck?

    I expect the truck to squat some? (that may change the geometry?)
