New to me 15 SHO, what to do!

[Deezuz]

as we know the car was a highway car, how else could it have gotten 107k miles in 5 years... well the front end does NOT show a highway car. Im betting its a new bumper or got sprayed, but no signs of work done!

I was thinking that when I saw the new struts. Maybe a little repair but struts could definitely wear out over 100k. I think that car would look great with that chrome around the grill blacked out.

 

[Deezuz]

oh i havent even begun with cosmetics.... but this summer all the plastics are coming off and the underneath is getting undercoated and fluid filmed... I will not have this car rust out on me... IF you notice my Super Duty is a Panda right now since I put a new cab on it due to rotting out...

 

[luigisho]

Wow. Didn't even see that. I grew up in the rust belt so, now that I'm not living there, I don't even consider buying any vehicle with rust. Over it.

Finally. 401A, 2015, 108k.

Looks like the 3rd owner but Holy shit it does not seem like it. The car is absolutely flawless. It does appear to have a rear oil leak which I think is the valve cover. There is new RTV on the front VC, and newer on the front cover. So I think chains have been done.

This car is completely stock.... What's are some Basic mods and maintenance I should be doing?

Changed oil today and plan to do ptu and trans next...

Thanks

Definitely PTU and RDU fluid change with Red line shock proof fluids. I have a 2016 SHO PP 45k miles. Congrats! Great color!

 

[Deezuz]

I did 75w140 amsoil in both

 

[Taurus4573]

Amsoil is good ! You are ahead of the game! How did the PTU fluid when it came out? Check spark plugs and coils. If the water pump was done the vehicle is in great shape and you don’t have to pay for that. Your ready to put another 100k miles on it.

Like I said it came out dark but viscosity was great, I was definitely happy to see that. But with 3 of my vac tubes I could only evac 1/2 qrt

That’s Great! Just keep An eye on it and change often

It only holds a little more than that. 18oz

Finally ordered a JLT catch can. I really want to get the CAC system cleaned up before I toss on new hot pipes. Still undecided whose I'm running with.

This is by far my most favorite car I've ever owned. I had a new SCAT pack charger trying to outrun me the other day. He couldn't shake me off his tail...

 

[Deezuz]

What are the best plugs and cops?

Ford Factory Plugs and coils

 

[Zpak]

If you are tuned Motorcraft sp542 if you can find them, or the new M-12405-35T seems to be the general consensus for new best. OEM for coil packs.

 

[Deezuz]

Definitely alot of moisture. Not even 500 miles

 

[Deezuz]

Changed the PTU vent tube today. I've never seen this style... I pulled it apart and media was very clean, no gunk or anything. I think my ptu is newer or was once replaced.

 

[Deezuz]

Can't believe how big these brakes are.

 

[Deezuz]

Brakes were toast

Messed around with forscan... I cannot get adaptive cruise to work although it's now on my dash but not selectable. Also what's the PID that honks the horn when you leave the vehicle with it running? That needs to go.

The AWD gauge is pretty cool. I'm a diesel mechanic and hours mean everything to me, I was tickled I could turn on the hour meter but ****** that it was 0 hours. I hoped they internally stored the actual hours but guess not.

Hi there,
Just wanting to follow up on the FORScan. I'm trying to figure out the PID for the AWD and double horn honk when you leave the vehicle with it running. I've tried using the F150 PID spreadsheet, but the PID list is somewhat less and different values than the SHO. Any help would be appreciated.
