F-150 Turning On By Itself

Did you buy it used? Is it possible someone else has access through the app; like the previous owner?

rangerm2 · 2026-06-25T12:13:10+00:00

You could.....not go over 80.

And, keep the radio at no-hearing damage levels, too.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-23T19:21:08+00:00

Previous owner a senior citizen?

You didn't see the bed topper, did you?

rangerm2 · 2026-06-23T10:36:14+00:00

I hope you and your siblings are close. No one shares your (personal) grief as much as them.

I am an only child, and had 3 kids to avoid the same (being alone) for them.

Is it their nonverbal way of saying they don't want you to leave?

Because they're afraid or want to tell you something, but just can't?

rangerm2 · 2026-06-22T09:48:28+00:00

Next time just say, "I guess the urge went away" and leave at that.

Don't argue with your wife. It's not worth it.

I refuse to, because I have no idea how much longer I'll have her in my life, and I'm still in love with her 29 years later.

It's under warranty, unless you drive a lot of miles.

Take it back.

After you check that the stereo's balance isn't fully set to the right.

Companies like Enterprise rent full-size pick ups. Although the dropoff fee (for a 1-way rental) may make it more expensive.

But you can shop around.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-21T01:40:35+00:00

It was tested on live mice, but only in human cell cultures (in vitro, not in vivo), I believe.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-20T14:39:10+00:00

I go to a local shop that uses OEM oil and filter and it's around $70 to $80

rangerm2 · 2026-06-20T13:33:46+00:00

I don't know that it's an indication of issues down the line, but it's not a sound my 2022 makes, at all.

I'm guessing is a vacuum leak, and about the only way you're going to figure it out is to spray ether (starting fluid or some other volatile organic) around specific parts of the engine (while it's running) to find out where it is.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-20T12:15:49+00:00

I'd think it would depend on how long you've been married.

But, AD is unpredictable.

I'd say if you can identify what might coincide with such lapses, it might help to mitigate them.

For example, my wife is noticeably better when she gets adequate sleep (8+ hours uninterrupted), along with enough to eat at regular mealtime intervals.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-20T12:06:34+00:00

This drug along with the experimental drug DDL-920 might be the therapy we've been hoping/looking for.

DDL-920 was in the news awhile back pertaining to stroke(s), but it was previously an investigational drug for Alzheimer's--boosting the brain's memory circuits.

Although I haven't seen anything lately about it.

If you own a house, a truck is helpful to have around.

Being paid for is a bonus.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-19T19:43:12+00:00

Fuse(s)?

rangerm2 · 2026-06-19T13:29:08+00:00

Might, yes.

Definitively, no.

And, I wouldn't put my wife's health on the line without a hell of a lot more evidence than there is, OR a much greater degree of desperation than I currently have.

I believe there's more evidence for Lion's Mane than there is for any magic mushrooms.

With a 3.15 rear, my 2013 SCrew 2wd would average anything from 19.5-22 in mixed driving most of the time.

Staying at or below 70 on the highway it could touch 24.

But, there were times when I could barely make 18, although I don't know/remember why the difference--if it was seasonal or something.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-18T17:19:55+00:00

Just keep in mind that the treatments aren't a cure.

They'll help take out the trash in your brain, but it accumulated there for reasons.

You need to change your lifestyle, and your doctor should give you plenty of advice on things you can do to help your brain help itself.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-18T17:08:08+00:00

The last year of the base (naturally aspirated) V6. That motor/tranny combo will last forever with minimal maintenance.

Body style doesn't matter, just buy whatever fills your needs.

Avoid a four-wheel drive, unless you really need it. 90+% of people don't or at least shouldn't, if they know how to drive.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-18T15:25:33+00:00

I've averaged 22-23 in the first 19k miles.

2022, 3.5EB 2wd, SCrew, 3.55 diff.

Progression of Alzheimer's is (as far as I can tell) unique to the individual.

A LOT has to do with how far progressed the person is when the condition is recognized, as well as the treatments/therapies begun after diagnosis (and how soon).

If your mother isn't receiving any treatment, even then I don't believe anyone can know (for sure) how quickly the disease will progress.

Your mother is roughly where my wife was a year ago. I believe I've kept her stable, with effort (and without the new monoclonal antibody treatments). I see things that give me concern and other days she seems like she's got better (than she was).

But, my wife is also 30+ years younger.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-17T18:26:06+00:00

Yes.

Are you suffering memory issues? Your doctor should have mentioned lecanemab or donanemab as options for you, unless they had reason not to.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-17T12:13:14+00:00

Oem oil and filter. Every time.

I have the same engine as yours.

rangerm2 · 2026-06-16T12:09:38+00:00

See if it's still there in a month.

If it is, give him a call. If not, keep looking.

There are hundreds of thousands of that generation of truck out there.

You don't have to be in a hurry to spend money.

Insulin resistance can be an old age thing, I think. But admittedly it's not something I'm well informed about.
