Electrical and drivetrain issues on 06?
Hey guys, newb to the site, first truck. and let me start by saying it's freakin awesome!
but i do have a couple of questions...i've got an f150 06 super crew. and my when ever i start my car, it takes about 5 seconds for me to be able to use anything electrical, such as rolling my windows down or even powering up the radio. i thought it was super odd at first. also, i was at a gas station and tried to start my car, the low oil pressure alert came on. it wouldn't let me start the car, after two more attempts, it disappeared and never saw it again. same day, i had more than a half a tank of gas when i got home. let the car sit for 30mins, then had to move it. next thing i know my gas gauge was at E and it said i had 49miles till empty. and it tripped me out. i went to get gas and put $10, next thing i know when i start her up, it was once again past the half way point for the gas gauge.
that's for the electrical, now for when i give the truck a little gas, i feel a vibration in the rear tires. even the slightest gas, i can feel something in the back, whether it be a shudder, vibration, something getting stuck and it moves cause i give it more gas. but definitely feels weird.
i searched the forum, as i'm on many other forums, and i found a thread talking about vibration, but i don't know if it's relating to my particular situation. any help would greatly be appreciated.
thanks again for helping a newb. hope to learn a lot on this site.
