Most trucks yes. I had my dash apart for some custom stuff I was working on and searched and searched and found nothing but a blank sticker where everyone said it was at. Looked at all the posts on where it was at. I was about to do the string entry, but when the truck went to Ford I just called the adviser and he said he will hook it up before I get there and pull it for me!

The wife has my truck down in FL and I drove the X back up to SC to do all the stuff I needed to do. I hope she dont wreck my truck. Shes not that good with a long truck like mine. The left front rotor was warped on the X so now everything works great. I am scare for you.
Just tell her " Please no drive thru's" Them poles they put around building seem to jump out in front of my wife too.
I still need to swap out the springs for the V & B springs because whats on there now is real tired.
I have a vacuum leak somewhere because when I switch to 4x4 it automatically defaults to defrost.
Left side back seat door has 3 small dents from when she pulled up to a ATM hit the pole next to the ATM machine. I should be able to pull the door pnl and try and push the dents back out. There not creased so I should be able to do it if I can access it. If you can't get them out with your hand I have found in the past if you use the back side of a screwdriver handle and work it or massage from the center of the dent out it instead of beating it out works nicely most of the time.
New shocks, shoes, tuner, 6.0 tranny cooler and a new intercooler. Other then that, that should be about it for modding the X until something breaks hard.

Well in most cases it is either the rear diff isn't square to the frame a 4wd alignment will tell you if the rear diff has negative on rt side rear and postive toe on left side rear. Or the wheel base is off. One side is longer than the other. And lastly the other most common reason is the vehicle has frame damage and was not repaired correctly. It is sad to say that in this day in age most body shops don't use nothing more than a tape measure and tram when straightening frames. Also they are using way to much heat on these frame rails. Ford has said since around 1999 that no more than 600* heat can be used to repair frame rails. And that is NOT glowing red with a rose bud.

its allot more common when the vehicle has lift "blocks" in the back, the right rear tire drives the vehicle, pushing the right side of the axle forward due to the flex of the block leverage on the drive side. taller the block, the more crabwalk when accellerate

Supposedly 02 and up have the sticker with code, but not sounding like a guarantee. My dealer wanted like $100 to scan the code, screw them
