After chasing LED "upgrades" on my old car >15ya, I resolved to wait to do these things until there's a European-made bulb for the application.
And there is. Sylvania LEDS are made by Osram Italy, fit perfectly, brighter and whiter than the stock bulb, do not get hot, and should last the...
I called my dealer to schedule the recall work, related again that this is happening, and that I've got the EBB noise (popping from the booster or MC assembly), which just started this past Sunday.
They said they need me to leave the truck for three days for diagnosis, could be longer if parts...
It is exactly like the noises in this thread, can easily hear it from the cabin. The weirdest part is that the clicks happen even after the pedal stops moving.

Is this related to the truck rolling forward six inches when I let off the foot brake, even though the parking brake is on and the transmission is in Park, that the dealer said was normal?
Parallel parking on hills is white-knuckle stuff with the lags in gear and brake engagement.
Also I just...
Thanks! Good to know Forscan can address it.
Share your assessment of the heat sinking, especially important for the "always-on" required from tail lights.
This video needs to be shown to Ford corporate and the NTSB. Literally the difference between a non-event and several thousand bucks of mutual damage in a sudden stop.
Anyone install name-brand LEDs like Sylvania / Osram for the lower tail/brake bulbs? They're nominally less bright than the...
I've felt the transmission give an extra "kick" that jolts the vehicle going into Park, regardless of the pedal and parking brake engagement. With 40 years driving other vehicles, this seems weird and bad.
Aaaaand the climate control is pumping out musty air. Tomorrow is check for AC condensate hopefully under the the car and not under the passenger footwell carpets I guess.
Thanks for *all* of that.
I'm finding the New Ford Owner Experience underwhelming. 15 days of it's first three months were in the shop, attention and communication were strikingly poor, and I have zero sense they actually did anything.
Then less than a day after getting it back, I've got...
Check that there's not a little narrow weatherstripping looking thing still in the crease of the door seal. Complained about this water thing to the service dept, they said they replaced the whole thing but now there's 36ft of this little rubber strip on my floor, and the door panel gaps look a...
UPDATE:
Two weeks with the truck, they were unable to reproduce the whistle, they're calling the squeak and thunk with braking / suspension settling normal, and "no error codes" so I've had enough and collected my car.
I then recreated the whistle for them on the lot within 90 seconds of...
