A buddy of mine has a 17 with 10k miles on it and it’s completely stock. At the ranch we have a cake feeder mounted to a little trailer, I made hook ups to go to your battery to use it. I use it on my 16, our 08 tundra and my brothers 08 6.4 with out a problem. My buddy went to hook it up and his truck nearly burnt to the ground. It somehow shorted and I have no idea how and fried a **** ton of wires. Was able to get it out with a fire extinguisher before it got too far. You can see a main wire behind the glove box is fried and the wiring harness is toast. We loaded it on the trailer and I immediately hooked the feeder to our Toyota and fed the cows.
Has anyone heard of grounding issues? Ford refuses to fix it, but admits a fuse didn’t catch it and this shouldn’t have be able to happened. But they will not fix it under warranty due to hooking cables on it. Running that feeder is no different than jumping off a pickup or someone having a winch on their truck.
