I noticed the TSB system above did not have the 2011 TSBs yet. So here is the current list.

Technical Service Bulletins
2011 F-150 - US (English)

The Technical Service Bulletins (TSB's) listed here may NOT apply to the vehicle you are working on. You MUST run OASIS with a specific VIN and Symptom Code to determine if it applies. If OASIS does not return the TSB, then it does NOT apply.

I wonder why the FL-2055 got discontinued? I picked up a couple about a month ago.At the time nobody had them in stock yet and Tasca didn't have it listed on their website yet.However my dealer was able to order some from the warehouse.I liked that the FL-2055 had a larger capacity than the FL-500.Here is a pic of the FL-2055 next to the FL-500 that came off my truck.

 

What does this mean?

 

What part don't you understand? It says to reprogram the engine/drivetrain computer(the PCM)with updated software.

 

I don't understand any of the acronyms in the following.
Does this affect all trucks? How do I know if my truck is affected other than taking it to the dealer?

 

Guess we need a glossary of terms. LOL

It means that the malfunction indicator lamp (check engine light) is illuminated and the computer has thrown diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P0711 or P2610.

In short if your check engine light goes on and the dealers scans the computer and sees codes P0711 or P2610 as the reason then this TSB might be the solution.

 

Not sure about MIL but DTC is diagnostic trouble code and P in front of the code is for powertrain. You would need a list of the DTC's to find out which number is assigned to which part that is throwing the code.
EDIT: I type too slow! Well I learned what MIL means anyhow.

 

It means never rush out and buy the first year of a new model and new engines, there will be many more to come and after warranty runs out gets real expensive!! Been there done that-04 5.4 3V

Don't know if they are the same for MY 2011

 

That may not be a bad idea considering that the TSB's aren't written for the consumer but for the Ford tech.

These TSB's will likely never become a recall so if the malfunction takes place after the warranty has expired, the consumer is screwed and gets to pay.

Thanks for sharing.

 

Yup. Recalls only occur when it is a safety concern. This TSB seems to be a calibration issue. I know I hate to see TSBs listed because that indicates I could have a problem down the road or that Ford has a quality issue but at least Ford has identified a solution. Much better than the dealer and Ford not know what is wrong and just trying stuff to get something fixed.

 

That's got nothing to do with it. TSB's come out all the time for anything out there. These just happen to be for the new stuff. Plus, usually, there is little or no cost to rectify these, especially if it's just a computer reflash, and NO cost while under warranty. So let's not get too alarmist about this. If nobody bought "new" stuff, they wouldn't find many of those problems that generate TSBs.

 

I am not an alarmist I am a realist and most all auto experts will advise not to purchase the first year of any new model until bugs r worked out, most TSB's will never be a recall and after warranty consumer gets to pay even though there has been a know problem!!! I got hooked once won't happen again!!

 

Oh well if we don't work the bugs out for you, you will never be able to get a new truck! LOL

 

11-5-7 - RAPTOR - DRIVELINE CLUNK OR CHIRP/SLIP/BUMP ON ACCEL OR STOP - BUILT ON OR BEFORE 03/12/2011
ACTION: Install the updated driveshaft assembly.

Does (or did) this apply to 2009 F150's? I get a slight slip/bump when decellerating and stopping. Also, could this cause a problem down the road that I'd have to pay for? It's a real PITA to take my vehicle to the dealer.
