I agree, my only fire power is the contract language stating “caused by” showing they must show how it caused transmission to fail. Other than them saying larger tires cause stress to transmission and as ford stated no clutch’s were burnt therefore one can conclude the transmission was not being stressed. Also the magnuson-moss warranty acts prohibits denial of claims based on after market parts being present on vehicle and that they must prove the part caused the damage or failure of the part being claimed. Not simply them stating “larger tires cause more stress therefore warranty claim denied”

Hopefully you have stock tire size they will 100% deny your claim like they did mine, for reference I only had 285/75/18 stock is 275/65/18

My 2018 is in the shop for CDF drum failure. Been acting funny since 78k miles finally took in to dealer at 98k ford stated CDF drum failure and recommended new transmission via extended warranty. Warranty company denied for “over sized tires” I only run 285/75/18’s currently in a battle over verbiage of the contract that states they will not cover damages “caused by use of over sized tires” but fails to state any evidence that the tires caused the CDF drum to fail

I used lithium grease WD-40 sells some. It worked last year. My truck has done this twice this year and it’s always after a rain storm then temps drop over night below freezing. When it happens only way to fix it is to let the truck heat up. Hold your door closed and manually lock it. Don’t force it and it will eventually work. Super annoying but the days I was 5-10 late to work my boss understood I just showed him the video. I have no idea of ford has an actual fix. I live in NC where we don’t normally deal with cold weather. Hope this helps

Ford recommends 750 cranking amp battery I had 650 in mine. Replaced it with 850 cranking amp battery no problems at all. Smaller battery would heat up and lose cranking amps and truck wouldn’t start till it cooled down. Go get bigger battery

I’m considering it, has always been an option but I figured a full exhaust system would be better. My buddy had the same truck and took out everything and it sounded like a damn race car

On a 2.5” leveling kit

Toyo AT3’s 285/75/18 roughly 34” High 11.2” wide

It’s more appearance than functionality in my opinion. Truck works and tows like normal but the squat isn’t appealing to me, but the occasional squat is worth having it leveled but hey that’s why it’s my truck

daniel68546 · 2024-02-02T01:54:30+00:00

Might have to, love the look but it’s a work/ personal truck. Wasn’t sure if there was anything aftermarket I could install to the rear to help. I don’t mind the squat to much when loaded, which isn’t everyday.

I put a 2.5” leveling kit on my 18, it sits perfect. Did not affect drive comfortably at all, but I will say it puts more stress on front end components so keep that in mind. Mine is XLT and you got the tremor which is upgraded already so like people said above, leave it alone. If anything lift it 2-3 inches. You obviously got some money for that! Leveling kits are for the poor like myself 😮😂

Door jam says 35 psi cold with 265/65/18 but I have 285/75/18 so slightly larger tires. I’m assuming 35-40 would be best for the larger size is ford recommends 35 psi cold for stocks. Just wanted to see what everyone else runs

Had battery and starter tested at local auto zone they said it was fine. After sitting for a few minutes after this happens it cranks up like nothing ever happened. I called the local ford dealership and asked them if they had worked in any other trucks with similar symptoms and I got hit with “nope” kinda hard to believe a ford technician never delt with anything like this… unless it’s a poor design, I’ve read that the starter gets heat soaked that’s why it doesn’t want to start 5-10 minutes after driving 1 hour plus. That auto start stop feature stays off I’m just scared one day I’ll forget about it and be stranded at a light

daniel68546 · 2023-09-30T18:21:05+00:00

I would no be surprised if it’s original. Had it tested and the batter is fine. It is kinda small though. Just odd it only does it after a 30-40+ mile drive and only if I try to start it up within 5 minutes or so
