@@ExploringStillConnected I love your interior. I ordered my '23 F550 with the Baja interior but was told by the time mine was on the assembly line they were only building Onyx black. Which I do like, but would have preferred your interior. It looks great!
@joz_tec thanks! We totally lucked out on that one as we were able to order off the 2022 build sheet. I hear there are only a few out there with our color combo.
Great news about the ground wire!!!!! The fuel pumps are notorious for going out and costing 10k to replace the entire fuel system. When you guys go by Vegas we have a guy who specializes in Superdutys that can replace the fuel pump with the updated and bulletproof one fairly quickly and for a good price so that you don't have to worry about a 10k issue when the warranty runs out.
Need to get those filters relocated and replaced with a better setup. Especially the secondary filter on top of the engine. It needs to be relocated under the truck. It becomes a fire hazard with age. Glad it was an easy fix though.
@@ExploringStillConnected same here. Better get that CP4 replaced soon though. We don’t to watch a video of you stranded again with a potential $12-15k repair that won’t be covered by warranty.
13:55 I always carry a regular battery charger that does up to 15 amps. Use house batteries /inverter to charge truck batts! Truck Camper tip of the day!
Good call on the aftermarket deal. I had a Pedal Monster totally take out my instruments and dash and radio..... Thought it was a big deal, until I unplugged it........ Will be my first step in troubleshooting in the future! :)
Best thing to do is hit the forums on this Diesel, there is so much to learn on keeping it going and reliable. #1, EGR filter & #2 there is a system that will protect the engine when the CP3 pump goes.
Thanks! We went with the liquid spring package form Buckstop Truckware which starts around 37k and goes up from there. www.buckstopinc.com/single-wheel-conversion-f23.html they have conventional lifts too that start at 22k that are pretty dang sweet too!
@@ExploringStillConnected was there in feb thru mid april , Agua verde bout a week , loved la paz area , for a few weeks & bounced around . hope to head back this winter. ~peace~
Sorry for these troubles, that's kind of the nightmare scenario with these setups. I have questions though ! 1. Why was Ford Service of no help ? They just gave up on you ? Why ? I am relying on them for towing, but...will they pay for the tow you got ? 2. What year is your truck and is it a diesel ? Was the fix covered under warranty ? 3. Why did you not ask the first tower to tow you to glenwood springs directly ? Or they would not do it ? I'm south of you, in Dolores :-)
Ford could not find a tow company within their umbrella that could tow us. We weight about 19.5k so the typical tow truck won’t give us a tow. We are still dealing with ford to cover the tow. Our truck is a 2023 and fix was covered. As for why the first company would now tow is, it was the weight issue.
@@ExploringStillConnected I'd be curious to learn if you guys decide to go with another type of roadside assistance. What was the weight limit Ford or the other tower could do ? I'm at 14.3k so wondering if I'd have more luck in your situation.
Glad you guys are all fixed up and back on the road. What was that jumper that you took out? Sounded like it had something to do with tire size. I have super singles and need to correct my speedometer. Thanks
So glad it was such a simple fix.
And good job making the best of it!
Simple is our favorit kind of fix! Now we know what to look for if this ever happens again.

@@joz_tec Dee is such a trouper too. Making lemonade with a smile!
Beautiful truck n great attitude when life gives you lemons
Thank you! 🙏
Glad you got it squared away. It is always an adventure living on the road!
And we love every bit of it!

You are telling me, the whole time I was thinking the CP4 went out :D

A great tip for any day! And yea the ground was on the frame crossmember by the fuel tank.
It's always the smallest of details isn't it! Glad ya'll are okay. 🤙
You got that right, thanks!
I’m glad you’re okay!
Thanks Bill it was definitely an adventure to remember.
That is rough. Glad you guys are ok!
Thanks! It was a wild ride to be sure!

Oh yea, I went down the bulletproof diesel rabbit hole.
Glad you found a fix. If you don’t mind me asking, how much was your super single 4x4 and what suspension did you go with?

Glad it was simple , safe travels ~peace~ BTW , did you guys make it to baja winter months 2024 ?
We were there in Feb and planning to go back this January

@PeteLeuenberger I’m not sure, I would just ask a local tow company and see what they say. Know I know I’m looking for big rigs 😂
Did you have them show you the bad ground? 19:59

We had a prototype of this bushel.biz/directdrive/tru-speed/ we now have the production version and it’s working great for speed correction!
Did Ford cover it under warranty or did they decline because the rig has been altered?
Warranty still in use, only the suspension would not be covered. I asked when there 😁
“Way-in” vs Waiting 🤔
