Some things I have fixed from this website

I have a 2007 Supercrew King Ranch.
I fixed the rattling doors by removing the rubber bumpers, and filling the cup part with silicone reinstalled the next day.
I fixed the rear sqeek by simply spraying pure silicone into the bottom track of the sliding window.The weather has turned cold, so I am not totally convinced this is solved.But so far so good.
I just used 3m supertape to tape the headliner to the roof support, at the black foam blocks accessible from removing the dome light , eliminating the muted bump type noise emanating from there.
I also had the shift problem requiring the reflash, and I complained about it long before it was bulletined.The dealer reflashed 2 or 3 times, with no success until I got the service bulletin off here and gave them the number.Done.
I had the issue with the 4 wheel drive switch that took them 3 tries to fix.Hope its good this time, if not warranty is almost up, and I'll do it myself.
This vehicle is as quiet and smooth as any I have driven.Pure luxury , even with a load of mulch or trees or rusty old parts.
All these things were fixed because someone else shared their info on here, so I thought the least I could do is say thanks.Thanks.

You should take the thread one step further and provide links to the fixes you've referenced.

This site is a fantastic collection of knowledge about Ford trucks... So far, I have fixed:

Rough idle developed on my '04 at 54k miles, so I looked at the thread on how to clean the throttle body and MAF sensor. It took me about 10 minutes, and now you can't tell if the engine is running at a stop light. Cost? $12.

Rear end shudder when turning right from a dead stop. The dealer told me I needed a new clutch pack in the differential. Quoted repair price was around $850. I read about the problem here, changed my read-end fluid to 140wt and added friction modifier. Problem solved. Cost? $66.

Scanning the threads, I noticed a photo of a truck with some cool decals on the hood. Searched that users posts and found out about Patriot decals. Now my truck has those cool decals and everyone asks where I got them.

And that's just the beginning. I've been lurking here for over a year now and I feel confident to tackle a lot of possible future common problems that may come up. I'm even going to change my own plugs when the time comes. A big thanks to everyone who posts here! You guys are the best.
