2024 MY maladies

I am contemplating a ‘24 F350 7.3 and I have noticed threads about issues with the ‘24 Model Year.
AC compressors, rear ends and the like.
Is there a general “24 problems” thread or similar?
It would be great to be able to see “trends” in one place.

Thanks

If you have had problems list and post miles. Dealer responses would be great too.

Transmission leak on mine. I know some others have complained of '24 transmission leaks over on the 7.3 FB group. Also bizarre shifting behavior sometimes (oftentimes). Other than that, all is well.

Before I bought my 2018 F-250 PSD, I scoured on line sources, including FTE for "reviews" of the truck. After sorting the "wheat from the chaff", and considering that there are 100's of thousands of Super Duty's on the road, there were no "show stopper" issues that would cause me to reconsider buying one. After working with the dealer to replace the Bridgestone tires with Michelin's (vibration issue when delivered), the truck was absolutely trouble free. I went through the same process before buying my 2024 F-250 7.3L gas. My Super Duty was delivered in January, has 9,000 miles on it and has been absolutely trouble free from day one. The problems cited on FTE are certainly "real" if your truck is affected, but none appear to be systemic - unlike the recent Ford or Tundra engine recalls. I concede that Ford doesn't have the best quality reputation, but in my experience, my Super Duty's have been reliable, built well and unaffected by any of the "issues" cited on this or other online sources.

24 built December 1st. 7.3 lariat ultimate. Had to replace ambient air temp sensor on passenger window due to the ac only blowing cold if on Lo. Also had to replace lower driver side mirror after it fell off (apparently it’s just adhesive holding it on). Also had to have passenger door panel pulled to remove a factory sticker sticking out of it. 8500 miles now. 3k of that is pulling my camper around. Runs awesome.

Got my Lariat Ultimate diesel on 5/24. Approaching 5K miles, mostly towing our 14,700 lb fifth wheel and absolutely no issues. Drives great and tows even better.
