Yea leave the hubs in auto. It just takes a couple rotations to fully engage. Leaving them locked manually will hurt gas mileage as you will be powering the front DS.
Yeah. I don't know why people delete the IWE (auto hubs on F150s)
Because the seals fail and they'll start to engage at random.
Personally I prefer to just fix them properly.
That's what I meant I don't know why people don't just do it right.

Mentioned in shout/chat but really debating on a tune. Don't care too much about hp or tq. Tune would only give 20-30 of each if that. Not much true difference. However I'd love better throttle response and shifting now that I've spent a few weeks driving it.

Would love to have his as is, and I’ve never bought a programmer.

Have you driven a 11-16 f250 with the 6.2?
The low throttle response scares me sometimes. Doesn't get out of the way fast enough.

Driven f250’s. Never with the 6.2. Never heard many good things about programmers on gas engines without turbos. Just ups the timing or adjusts the throttle position. Well just put your foot in in more. I’m sure you all will tell me I’m wrong. But this is the truck you looked forever for, want to last a long time…don’t fuck with it. That’s just the way it is.

Foot down doesn't matter. Ford limits how far the throttle can open under certain rpms and shifts into high gears quickly down low to save mpg. Nothing to do with reliability or hurting the engine.

Battery died today. Was installing everything on the truck (radio, sub, speakers, etc) and as I was playing around it died. Have it on a the charger right now. Need to see if factory battery or what. Might need to look at getting an upgraded one.

If it has a BMS system like my F150 make sure you ground your charger after the sensor.

Parasitic draw.
Hook up my Innova 3320.
Set to dc10a.
Put wires into dc10a setting
Unplugged everything I had hooked up.
Attach positive lead to negative cable (unhooked from battery)
Attach negative lead to battery.
Reads 1.65A
What else could be causing that draw?

Why not just get a 2x8 and put it in the slots there?

If it's like mine it's not an option beyond the 'diagnostic' mode

Might put a board in and some totes. Bakflip isn't waterproof so would like to keep stuff off the bed itself.
