Sorry SpeckTracker, Typing up notes isn't my thing, Especially with a new truck to drive


A question for the Forum though, I noticed a kind of "Shushing" sound coming from the front of the truck down low, Is this the grill louvers opening and closing?

The site is factory-manuals.com

I got mine from there over a year ago and it has been very useful. They now have a deluxe version which the links work whereas in mine they don't. But you learn where to find what you're looking for in the 9000+ pages.

For those with MFT, the weather map will recenter if you touch it in another location as long as the truck is not moving. It will eventually recenter on its own if you drive far enough from where you started viewing the weather map. However, it will not recenter by touching the map where you want the new center while the truck is in motion. It pops up an error message telling you this feature is unavailable while driving. There is a way to get it to recenter on your current location, though. Just switch from the map screen to the current conditions or the 5 day forecast and then back to the weather map and it will now be centered on your location again.

Default Blk exhaust???

Black exhaust may look nice but who's going to know or see it plus it won't last too long with the heat coming from those pipes.

Ive only had issues with chrome pipes. Discoloration and stains. I love my black exhaust on my 150.
