Biggest Flaw with Ford F350 (1.5 year review, high output diesel)

[@ChrisKing-cf8dz]

Thanks for the summary

[@RollingWithRuss]

Thanks for the comment!

[@JackofHaulTrades]

I think the car play is a problem with all the new cars. Even my wifes 2023 Volkswagen SEL R line loses sound for days sometimes. Its wack lol

[@RollingWithRuss]

That’s interesting to note, you’re probably right. Must just be too many systems trying to communicate and getting confused or something.

[@jimm2442]

Does the CP4 high pressure fuel pump failure potential concern you? If not please explain. Thank you.

[@RollingWithRuss]

It does but I will probably trade the truck for a gasser before the warranty is out.

[@21psd]

I think the CP4 failures are actually not as common as the internet will make us believe. The diesel techs at my local dealerships don't see this come in very often. But when they fail, it's a major repair at a cost of ~$10-12K. The biggest contributors are fuel contamination, prolonged filter changes, and by allowing air to enter the CP4 by not completely purging air from the fuel system after filter changes or draining of the fuel-water separator. I refuel only at reputable diesel stations and use a diesel additive (HotShots EDT) at each fill-up, change fuel filters every 10K miles (every other oil change), and perform a minimum of 8-10 ignition key cycles anytime air has entered the fuel system.

@jimm2442 also look into getting S&S fuel disaster prevention kit . It adds a return filter in the system. So if the cp4 does goes it only takes out the pump.

Has the same problem with CarPlay on my 24 f250 with only 6k miles

[@RollingWithRuss]

Yea that is really frustrating. It’s not like it’s really new technology at this point…

[@mackwoodcock7484]

Press and hold power on and next scan (song) for 10 seconds or until screen goes black to reset. Should work fine. Don’t have to pull over can do on the go. I hate it but after a reset it works for a while.

[@RollingWithRuss]

Thanks, I will try to remember that next time it happens!

[@blakew1026]

Yah my 24 has the same issues with carplay and so does my moms bronco. the lastest update for the truck seems to have made it better but it will still cut out audio and sometimes just crash. the only other problems I have had is my instrument cluster has just shut it self off going down the road twice. Making me restart the truck to fix it. The other thing is when you put the truck in gear and on the little screen is shows the 1-10 for a couple seconds that got stuck on the screen and it always showed I was in 1rst. The rest of the screen worked but that was stuck on it and it wouldn't go away with a quick restart of the truck. It needed to sit for like 5 minutes after shutting it down and then restarting to get it to be fixed. And the other nit picking thing I have is with the auto climate control with the remote start. I have the supplemental cabin heater and if the windows are fogged up I can start up the truck, turn on the defrost and before I leave my neighborhood the windows will be defrosted. For some reason the auto climate control with remote start turns the fan on the lowest setting and I don't think it even turns on the supplemental heater because I can leave it running for 15 minutes and the fog on the windows will not even be touched.

[@RollingWithRuss]

Those are frustrating issues. My dash lights have cut out on me once while I was driving a trailer down a canyon and that was a little disarming for sure… as for the cabin heater, that’s just plain frustrating that it does not seem to work well.

[@blakew1026]

@ well the heater works but for some reason it doesn’t seem to turn itself on when I use the remote start. And yesterday for some reason my radiator fan was on high for the whole ride home when it was 40 out and coolant temps were 130. Thing hasn’t even kicked on high before when I was towing in 100 degree heat. I will see if it continues. Seems to either be a bad fan clutch or a ac sensor can go out and make the computer think that the ac system is super hot making the fan run at full speed since the clutch is fully electronically controlled. And the sensor thing I remember at least the 23 model year people complaining their ac when out and it was a sensor fault. It will be covered under warranty but I don’t want to deal with the service department.

[@RollingWithRuss]

For sure man

[@chrisphillips5720]

try the Toyo open country III. I just replaced my Goodyears from the factory.

[@RollingWithRuss]

Cool, thank you. Did you stay stock size? I kinda wanna go bigger but nothing crazy

[@chrisphillips5720]

@RollingWithRuss Yes I used 285.75.18

[@mikegunnett2092]

Weatherguard makes the best toolboxes

[@RollingWithRuss]

Yea they make good ones from what I have seen. Probably should have gone that route.

[@The73idigarage]

My 92 7.3 idi diesel factory non turbo 5spd swapped... i can do abt a 4 hr round trip on my front 20 gallon tank if i keep my spd with 4.10s stock size tires at 60, includin lil more than 2 hrs of drivin on my smaller 10-13 gallon rear tank & have both tanks not be even down to half after all that

[@RollingWithRuss]

Oh man that sounds like a sweet truck!

[@randycordes464]

Tell them about the crack in decked

[@RollingWithRuss]

I plan on it and will let you know what they say.

[@trailspeed7037]

I think the wireless apple carplay is an issue with the technology itself. Even my pioneer head unit with wireless CarPlay has issues with cutting out randomly.

[@RollingWithRuss]

It’s funny the more comments I get on this the more I realize it’s a technology issue widespread among manufacturers. Thanks for your comment!

[@JustAverageJeff]

Looking to buy this exact model except it has the cloth seats and dual rear wheels, wish they were vinyl it has 26k miles for $56k I don’t really use Bluetooth I just listen to the radio 99% of the time so I think I could live with that. No real issues with my 19 Ranger but it needs a full servicing. I think it has those switches I think I saw them during the test drive but it’s not in the pics or window sticker so I can’t be sure.Does come with 6 brand new Nitto A/T Terra Grapplers G2 big reason I’m trying to upgrade because my Ranger needs all 4 load range E tires because my road to my property eats stock tires for breakfast.

[@RollingWithRuss]

I think you will be very happy with that truck, sounds like a pretty good deal. Is your property really rocky, or what causes it to eat tires up?

[@JustAverageJeff]

@@RollingWithRuss yeah tons of sharp rocks like arrowheads.

[@RyanSilva-q9z]

The audio is the same for my 2024 f250 it cuts out

[@RollingWithRuss]

Seems like a pretty widespread issue

[@SteveCallsen]

How bout they make a truck with absolutely zero computer bs, then we would have no problems with that at all!!!

[@RollingWithRuss]

I would buy that truck!
