Buying a New TC Hauler
I started the process today of replacing my 2010 F450 with a 2016 model. The Ford dealers here in Little Rock hardly ever have them though, and I had resigned myself to probably driving to Dallas in o...

Goodbye black truck, I feel that I hardly knew you. I turned it over to the dealer today.
Brought it home 4 years and 2 months ago. It actually looks better now than when I bought it.
I spent most of the day removing the camper tie-downs, front hitch, and all my "stuff" in the cab. The hitch is supposed to fit the new truck, but according to Torklift's website, the tie-downs will not. Seems like the rear tiedowns would work, but I don't have the new truck at home to see right now. It's at the dealer getting the upfitter switches installed.
I also asked them to enable "Battery Charge Protect" in the ECM, and connect it to one of the upfitter switches. On my 2010, it was just a matter of connecting two wires under the dash. On 2013 and up, you also have to install a resistor on two of the PTO inputs even though you aren't using PTO. BCP mode allows the ECM to monitor the battery charge voltage and manipulate the idle RPM to maintain good voltage.
They gave me 2016 F150 Ecoboost to drive while they have my new truck. The "Sport" mode in the F150 is pretty impressive! :C
