You bought the wrong class of vehicle if you are worried about gas mileage and preserving the Earth’s resources. And i think i speak for everyone who wishes the *** did not exist. THe fact that this subject gets brought up regularly shows that a lot of people really dislike it.

What does the XL have to do with anything. It is obvious the *** is a very unpopular system. And even the lowly XL has the dumb *** system. You trying to truck-shame me or something? It’s my company truck. I get it for FREE. I don’t even pay for insurance, service/maintenance or gas. I get a new one about every three years, but they are only the XL model. If I had a higher trim level would that give me more credibility?

I find I can easily control *** by the amount of pressure I apply to the brake pedal. Not that big of an issue to me.

I had mine turned off through Forscan, but recently changed it back. I wired up a dash cam that has a parking recording mode and even though it has it's own power management system, I didn't want to take any chances. I am sure I am just being overly paranoid.

Yes the *** system in my 2018 5.0 is a faulty design for sure. Every time I drive my truck on the highway the *** will come on at 115 km/h for about 15 seconds then the engine will restart and the cruise will resume back to 115 km/h and then at the next stop I get the message in the *** screen says function not available. I will disable it with forscan very soon.

So what is the verdict. I would love to make the *** problem go away. Did it effect your backup camera? I tried the jumper fix, but the wire kept coming out. I am about to splice a wire into both the wires behind the switch.
To those that keep coming on here and saying " I see no problem with it". Hey, great for you, now don't let the door of this thread hit you in the **** on the way out. We hate it, we want it gone. Nothing you will say will convince me that starting my truck more times in one day, than I normally do in a month, is good for my truck.

yes!! Been 4 days no issues at all! I’ll hook jet ski up this weekend make sure trailer assist still works but even on display it has the A with slash thru it like you pressed the button. So I don’t see any problems AND much easier than that jumper wire mess and no pulling dash off 5 seconds you can hook it back IF you ever wanted to
