    A/C On, Fan Speed 4 at Every Cold Start

    Had my truck at the dealer for other repairs. While it was in they checked the climate control function. The dealer stated that the high speed fan at startup blowing out cold air is normal operation. Yeah, they just don't get it. I told them all the other vehicles I had with climate...

    Oil Leak??

    The sad thing is, I've heard stories like that before. In my case, it was either an acvident that somebody dropped it in and was to lazy to retrieve the bolt or a disgruntled employer threw it in. It drove me crazy until I was brave enough to bring the truck into the dealer to find out what...

    Oil Leak??

    The tech that gets stuck working on my truck each time is a level 3 tech. He certainly did a great job taking the entire interior apart to remove a factory installed extra bolt rolling around in the heater box.

    Oil Leak??

    I'm thinking my transfer.case output seal leak was most likely causes by the dealer. My differential was repaired with a new gear set which failed miserably. Then the entire rear axle was replaced. Both instances would require drive shaft removal which most likely stressed the seal.

    Oil Leak??

    CORRECTION. The dealer told me crankshaft on the phone. It is not. It is the transfer case output seal. I inquired when I went to pick up the truck. Gasp.....

    Power sidestep retracting delay.

    Mark, Can you help us with this? My truck is at the dealer now and there is no software update available to correct the issue. Please have FCA look into this. Thanks!

    Oil Leak??

    The dealer just called me. They found the source of my leak. It's the rear crankshaft output seal. Ordered the part and the truck has to go back in.

    Multifunctional tailgate

    From what I understand, you have to replace the entire bed if you want the MFT, at least at this point in time. I wish that were an option when I ordered my Longhorn.

    Power running board decided not to stow, tore off carport pillar

    So I wonder if there is a different software flash on yours?

    Good luck! You'll love the Longhorn. I got the black and new saddle interior because I wanted natural wood over the black wood in the Limited. The Longhorn is just gorgeous!

    Power sidestep retracting delay.

    I have a $70K Longhorn. It put me through hell and back the first year of ownership. The dealer has $15,000 of parts into it before the last repair of replacing the rear differential! Assembly quality on mine was abysmal. But..... Over the weekend, I test drove both (2019 F150 ) Raptor and...

    It's funny that you mention the static sound. I can hear that in my left (driver) rear speaker as well. I also noticed that the loudness of the static is not affected by the gain (volume) control.

    Power running board decided not to stow, tore off carport pillar

    Thanks, that's good to know. I really didn't notice any pattern to it. I know that one time I got in the truck and started playing around with my squeaky center console armrest, then started the truck and the sidestep was still deployed. That was probably about a minute or so before starting....

    Power sidestep retracting delay.

    I'm kind of worried that I won't notice when it happens sometime and snag the sidestep on a curb! That would be a very expensive repair.

    Power running board decided not to stow, tore off carport pillar

    Just found your post. I started a similar thread because when I searched nothing came up. My sidesteps do this as well. Sometimes they do not retract after self-deploying until I'm a few hundred feet to a quarter mile down the road. I can't figure out any rhyme or reason for this. I'm afraid...

    Power sidestep retracting delay.

    I could have sworn that I started a thread about a year ago regarding an issue that I encounter randomly with my power sidesteps. I searched my content and could not find the post. I wanted to see if there was a software update that resolved the issue. Anyway, sometimes my power sidestep does...

    A/C On, Fan Speed 4 at Every Cold Start

    Mine does the same thing. It's really annoying! Going to the dealer Tuesday for a fluid leak. I plan to ask if there is a flash to fix that problem. You have to wonder what they were thinking when they programmed that logic. All the other vehicles that I've owned with automatic climate...

    Rear Cabin Rattle/Tick over bumps

    Geez, we ought to start fixing these things for FCA instead of the dealers. I don't think my rear window rattles yet, ior maybe that's what the sub causes to vibrate...

    Rear Cabin Rattle/Tick over bumps

    Here is the flocking tape that I used. It is 4mm thick. Those black plastic Velcro hooks will not move around in their retainers anymore. I still do get some headliner noise though. It must be, as someone else said, the headliner touching the edge of the roof rails...

    Oil Leak??

    Got another picture from above the skid plate. I'm really too arthritic to be crawling under the truck, so it's a little out of focus. I do see a drop of yellowish fluid on the housing. Not sure what it is. But...
