Hello,

I am keen to see if anybody has installed some extra lights on F150 and how that was done...

I am looking for a solution without car-body and/or bumper drilling... 

@Shehab Alawadhi, I saw you had some extra lights coming out of the engine hood (near the windshield).. do you have a picture to see how are they attached to the car?

thank you all!

You can do either one it doesn’t matter. Whatever you prefer. I don’t use the M button because it means I have to constantly be shifting gears. I use the 1 and 2 so I stay in D most of the time, (D and on sports mode, try it next you you drive and it’s much different.) I only use the 1st and 2nd gear when I really need to. 

With the f150 it’s a very powerful car so power isn’t an issue it’s just knowing from where to start giving gas so you can gain momentum.

Thank you so much! this made my Friday ride smoot and rich of "power"

no more power issue!!!!

Got it now.

D for cruising,

1 or 2 for climbing...

M forget it... 😀

Thank you

Cheers

Hope that helped

This helped me a lot! it actually make sense

On clarification though: when you say that you go on 1st gear, do you mean M and then with the tiptronic you select 1st or that on the gear stick you select the "position" 1?

thank you

This situation was resolved when the kill switch was installed.

great! do you know exactly what it "switch" off?

Hi @Ivan Pironi, a usual approach is to install a "kill switch", but do some research about. I installed one in my Patrol Y61, works well.

Great! where did you go to install it???? any "spetial" workshop?

@Watteau and @Shehab Alawadhi both drive F150s, I am sure they can provide a much better advice.

Best regards!

nice to meet you! have you installed a "kill switch"? have you played around with the fuse box? thank you! 

Hello,

I have recently joined this club and and enjoying the learning process on how to handle my F150 2015 off road!

When I put the 4WD on, I keep the Traction control button pushed for abt 5 second and bam: message on dashboard saying my traction control is deactivated...

Happy I went on few sandy hills, where surprisingly while I needed more power, the engine completely loses power...

Doing a bit of research here and there, it seems that the F150 abs and traction control (even if deactivated) kick in if the wheel speed is more than 35miles... this seems annoying, because if your wheel spin while offroad, that is the moment where you need the power the most, no?

Question: anybody have a solution to this? I was reading that the best is to remove the fuse that control abs and traction control... is that it? In this case has anybody put a switch on that specific fuse??? which fuse are we talking about? (on the fuse booklet instructions there is no specific Traction Control fuse.. is it the ABS one?)

Thank you all
