Is the distortion apparent when seated in the driver's seat? If so, is the distortion directly in front of the driver's seat? They would likely do a visual test and compare to another Ranger on the lot.

The 2.7L does not have a MAF. Airflow=f(MAP,IAT,RPM,VE) Octane matters. How much? It's not that simple. As stated, the Ford specs are based on premium fuel. Higher octane allows more spark advance in the ignition cycle, which is more efficient combustion and keeps the maximum brake torque...

Borla manufactures the "Ford Performance" exhaust for Ford. I'm surprised someone said you may install the tune yourself and retain the warranty.

Dealer won't find anything, but best to see if there were any codes. I'd suggest reporting to NHTSA. It's going to take someone getting hurt before Ford does anything. I've had the throttle input go dead for a couple seconds in a slow speed turn as well. Others have reported similar experiences.

As long as they keep overpaid union workers that are just going through the motions and are difficult to let go, while requiring more and more poka yoke processes, i don't see it improving. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

This. Very light pressure on the screw when attempting to unthread. Once you get it out a few turns twist the head with your fingers. The goal is avoid rotating the outer part and to avoid applying inward pressure on the screw. They can be a pain.

Is the battery charged? 11.8v seems low.

You can utilize Forscan and do it yourself. There are videos of VDM calibration. It's quite easy if done correctly. If you are not comfortable, a dealer should be able to do it.

The manual isn't going to say anything about calibration because Ford doesn't want the truck leveled. You need to calibrate VDM. Maybe HCM, if the Raptor has that. Then you'll need to adjust headlights.

I've leveled my 2025 lariat and got 265/70R18 tires. If changing tire size, unless a dealer will change tire circumference, forscan or Procal to the rescue. I started with changing wheel circumference first. Vehicle speed plays a part in more than just the speedometer. The 24 and 25 lariat...

Agreed. I still had ~1.5x thread OD of thread engagement. If not, I'd get 5mm longer fasteners.

Here is the procedure. (Model year 2025) 😉

Yes, it came with a gasket, the same type of flat gasket the Ford Performance cover uses. The OEM gasket is reusable if not messed up. I purchased and used a new OEM just in case.

My 2025 Ford workshop manual only mentions port injection and direct injection for the 2.3L and 2.7L. The 3.0L only mentions direct injection. Note the image below. This section is part of 303-04C which references the direct injection fuel rail. There is no port injection fuel rail.

I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled per the workshop manual orientation. Also, Eibach's zinc coating is not great, so i took the opportunity to scuff up the zinc some and sprayed 2K clear coat on the shocks.

I would presume it matters since the lower perch is angled. And the angle of the shock, since the control arm connection is outboard of the shock top mount? I have a feeling Ford put it in the workshop manual for a reason.

Does anyone have pictures of their stock front spring orientation on XL, XLT, or Lariat? Preferably an FX4.

I happen to get a look at the workshop manual after doing a level on my truck. I mounted my Eibach shocks with the lower perch in the same orientation as it was stock. Looking at the shop manual it looks like Ford had them mounted backwards. My LH side was facing the rear and my RH side was...

Also, I hope nobody has to deal with a horrible dealer like my local one. I was having recalls done Monday and mentioned that the truck is leveled with slightly larger tires. Asked if they could verify if anything required calibration. They basically claim they cannot do anything with IPMA (360...

For the Raptor, yes. There is a calibration done within the Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM), which performs calibration on all four wheels. The Lariat does not have a VDM and only has height sensors connected at the RF and RR suspension. I haven't come across information if any calibration is...
