2024 Ford F-150 — inside shoulder worn out while outside looks fine

The tires looked okay until I checked the inner shoulder, which is much more worn. The car is slightly lowered. What alignment measurements matter most if I want to stop eating tires? Mileage is about 42,000.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Ford F-150, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. On “150 — inside shoulder worn out while,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

Tried a second charger / second scan and the story on the 2024 Ford F-150 didn't change. If it repeats twice more I'll book time.

It did 150 — inside shoulder worn out while twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2024 Ford F-150 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. Heat soak after errands is the other window.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2024 Ford F-150, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Run the total, not the monthly, before you commit. Not driving it hard until I know more.

Checked the easy stuff on the 2024 Ford F-150 and found one clue worth chasing before I book a shop. I already checked the easy fluid levels.

That's a good start, but I wouldn't stop there. Two 2024 Ford F-150s can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Loaded-suspension checks on the 2024 Ford F-150 catch play that a wheels-hanging inspection misses. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. No need to make it theatrical. Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Move a coil or plug on the 2024 Ford F-150 if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Any freeze-frame data saved? Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. I already checked the easy fluid levels.
