Default Just want to vent

We should have a "vent" section. Because here I go. I'm so sick of being told that the limp mode can't be found on my truck. Or that the shutter in my trans is my tires don't get me wrong I understand if the computer doesn't show anything but give me a break you mean to tell me that ford can create the eccoboost but can't trouble shoot it with out a code. And the shutter I have had the tsb done and it didn't fix it I even called the dealer as I was driving it home to tell them it wasn't fixed. So I'm no ford tech but it you think it's the tires you mean to tell me there isn't one used truck on the lot that they. Oils take the tires off to prove their point that it is the tires. Or is it because it has nothing to do with the some what bald tires and it's the damn truck!!!!!!!! I really hope ford can get there **** together because I'm really thinking a chevy might better.

That really sucks. I did recently read that some people were having some vibration type issues with the Pirelli Scorpions. Just curious, what type or tire are you running? You'd think they would have quickly swapped out the tires to see if that was the issue.

I don't get it. Your truck is a camera?

Your tires are not OEM and they are upsized mud terrains. Very good chance that they are the issue. In fact, I'm 99% sure they're the issue.

Vent away my friend. Most of us all go through troubles. It is just how you accept it that helps.

So y is it when I switch them with my fathers tires. Who has the same truck but one year newer it still does it I even drove it there and showed them but all they could say is your tires caused it. It's cool I don't care when the thing is sitting at a dealers lot for sale and I have something new it won't be my problem anymore

Have you changed the spark plugs yet? Set the gap on the new plugs .028"-.030". I'd start there.
