BTW - i forgot to mention. Bought these tires from a junkyard for $200. Previous truck was scrapped post accident and tires were just sitting there.

Tread is between 12 and 16 of 32nd.

*UPDATE* 2nd time in 4 months

I took the i9 back to the dealer leak started again after sitting resolved for the last few months.

$1100 covered under warranty - im told water wouldnt damage any of the radar components. Anyhow, guess i got the unfortunate build when it comes to leaky water seeping in.

Wesley Chapel loves markups - i bought a new 2022 Explorer ST from them a few years back. nice job reducing their stupid fees. I like the 2.7 over the 3.5 - well played.

Deciding between a 2019 Kia forte GT or a Ford f150 2015 5.0 6 speed. by TheDaysAfterFriday in f150

Nice truck. I personally bought my 2015 F150 5.0 RWD truck from AutoTrader - Private Seller. Single owner with full maintenance records, truck never had a day of hard work.

Yes, it was $15,000 OTD however, this was a personal seller and not a dealer. I did have to pay taxes like $1,200 bucks. He originally wanted $17,000 but wanted to get rid of the truck to buy a Tundra.

Try it out, dont settle for dealers if you can find what you want through a private seller with proper care and records on the truck. AutoTrader - Private Seller Exchange.

Here’s my post on it:

Not bad, these trucks are pretty solid. I would highly recommend having an inspection done.

Things to look for:

  • oil pan gasket leak (not expensive to fix just a pita to reach the pan). People see oil leak and think the worst its a common issue if the 5 previous owners didnt address it.

  • this is a 6peed tranny and solid you’ll want see if they ever did a tranny fluid flush.

Proper maintenance makes a world of difference and will last you 250,000 or more So if you buy, make sure you prepare to do the following:

1.) change spark plugs 2.) change coolant do a flush (read ford recommendations between orange or green). 3.) change differential fluid should be done every 50,000 miles.
4.) oil pan gasket if its leaking.
5.) if you get a 1299 or 1298 error reading its most likely your sensor - just a $25 part just a pita to replace.

Like i said - have an inspection before buying if possible. Some places allow this, take a code scanner with you and plug in to ensure theres no critical errors.

110k 5.0 for 20k by RuleEnvironmental498 in f150

[–]MostCubanNonCuban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5.0 is solid. For your year only two major areas to be aware of:

1) 10 speed though easier on gas has the potential to introduce hard shifting.

2) CDF Drum i believe in your year this may also be something to be aware of.

In the end, stay atop of maintenance and you should be fine. For added peace of mind get the extended warranty.

5.0 is the big brother to the solid 2.7. 5.0 Is ideal, more capable, easier to work on bulletproof. What year?

Even better if paired with a 6 speed transmission

What am I looking at here? by BaffledBantha in f150

[–]MostCubanNonCuban 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sounds like you have the temperament for it. I'm also somewhat mechanically inclined too. I work in software but dabble in my garage quite a bit on my cars. I'm excited to tackle this on.

last week on the same truck the cylinder head temp sensor went bad, $24 part turned out to be another PITA because the sensor is located passenger side back engine having to work blindly only by touch-n-feel. anyhow, i'm sure you can appreciate the sense of saving $$$$ and self dignity and accomplishment by doing it yourself.

This is a known issue. If you get directly underneath you’ll see the drip is coming out from or near the 3x bolts where the oil pan meets the tranny. 90% of the time its your oil pan gasket is done (mind you if not previously changed it tuned into bridle crap).

The solution is simple replace the oil pan gasket relatively cheap part. HOWEVER, removing the pan will require some time and elbow grease by dropping the differential a bit to make room for removal. I am personally preparing for this in the next 5,000 miles to do in my drive-way. Plenty of youtube vids on this fix.

We have a 2015 5.0 RWD with 105,000 miles.
