  1. Changing a flat tire, could not use the included jack

    Used mine today. August 22 Platinum model. Back left wheel. On flat concrete. Knowing the history of the Jack I let my wife run the Jack. On proper lift point. . Jack started bending, handle started bowing, hook began to twist and could not get the tire off the ground even after I tried...
  2. 10k mile checkup, Coolant “Strength” question

    I have a personal fleet acquired over 40 plus years of purchases and elbow grease growth. Smallest engines are atv to UTV to multiple rubber tired tractors and track tractors and vehicles. What concerns me with Ford (I own 5 Ford pickup trucks a Mach E and a Ford tractor) is the chemistry...
  3. Thunk noise from under center console

    Yes. Platinum. There is no other sound associated with the thunk. But, years of large equipment, tools, and shooting has removed the top end of my hearing range frequencies. Wife n girls don’t hear anything but the thunk.
  4. Thunk noise from under center console

    Several calls from Ford reps asking how the repair went, or if the truck was in the shop. I finally told them to close the ticket, I don’t want to be the test case with my truck sitting at a dealership for 3 months. The “thunk” still happens as described previously, once per trip, after...
  5. Thunk noise from under center console

    ‘22 Platinum 11k miles but this noise has been happening since new. Texas truck. Was 97 degrees here today. Truck thermometer said 114 when I got in it at 4 PM. Apologies if this was covered already. Searched and found no threads. The noise happens every time the truck is driven longer...
  6. Radio Exploding sonic boom then alien clicking static

    Thanks. Perfect timing. I just picked up my Lightning with 11k miles from the dealer after having the 10k mile checkup. I don’t have much confidence letting any dealer touch my truck. After calling and asking every dealership service manager within 50 miles to define coolant strength for a...
  7. What other EV do you own?

    ‘22 Mach E GT PE. I love the performance just not the ride and road noise. For the price I wish those 2 qualities were more like an old school LTD, Marquis, Lincoln Mark IV. Also have ‘20 F250Limited super duty which I love. Yes, has factory seat massagers and powered running boards. and...
  8. 10k mile checkup, Coolant “Strength” question

    I have called my dealer 3 time, 3 different service managers asking for the definition of strength. All 3 said they would get back to me. Crickets thus far. I will give the local dealer one last opportunity then I will be taking my business elsewhere. ExCivlian brings up a good point. I...
  9. SOLD - 2022 F-150 Lightning Platinum Extended Range

    Nope. No ceilings in ‘22 for EV Fords. I took “credits” for a Platinum Lightning and a Mach E GT PE just for that reason. Well, I got lucky because they both made it by EOY ‘22.
  10. Adding grill mesh ahead of active shutters in bumper?

    I asked about this in another post this week to someone with 50k miles on gravel. The response wan no problem with the cooler fins or paint. I have a ‘99 F350 ranch truck, 200k miles with a similar located coolant radiator. Ranch truck means it’s on roads that are 2 wheel tracks sometimes...
  11. 50,000 miles - What a long, strange trip it's been.

    I am curious about 2 things people (me) were concerned with early on. The front cooler (coolant radiator). How’s yours doing with all the gravel. I have a ‘99 F350 which if you can believe it has a similar location setup. Since the ‘99 was in great shape after 200k miles I went ahead with the...
  12. 10k mile checkup, Coolant “Strength” question

    Having access to reference material and using it are sometimes polar opposites. I’d like to hear from anyone who has had a 10k mile checkup and was told what coolant strength equates to or has real working knowledge.
  13. 10k mile checkup, Coolant “Strength” question

    I own several Fsuperdutys. The 2016 F250 6.7 runs the orange coolant and until ‘20 model year (I have one of those also) requires a refresher in Chemistry 101 every 15k miles. Not just checking level but ph, nitrates…. There’s a test strip and special additive, plus a quantity of orange...
  14. Loud surge/boom and then electric static from speakers

    I was the OP on one of the threads. Ford never “officially” contacted me. As stated, this is definitely a known issue. I also have a ‘22 Mach E GTPE and this issue is / has occurred on Mach E’s and posted in the Mach E forum. Technology is a bitch. RF interference (RFI) is a mother to...
  15. My Lightning Build is Complete… For Now! XPEL Stealth PPF, 2" Rough Country Lift Kit, A/T Tires, Painted Lightbars, Painted Wheels, Debadged & More

    Thanks. I did the rough country 2” kit this past weekend. No issues until you run thru all the combinations and permutations of hole patterns. The 3 holes in the spacer to mount the spacer on the strut assembly are a no brainer but then there are 4 holes in the frame mount the assembly is...
  16. My Lightning Build is Complete… For Now! XPEL Stealth PPF, 2" Rough Country Lift Kit, A/T Tires, Painted Lightbars, Painted Wheels, Debadged & More

    Rough Country chat and the 2” level / 3”Lift instructions plus Real Truck all stipulate, “not for trucks with blue cruise”. Did you have any technology issues with the lift and tire change? Blue cruise, lights, speedometer dot dot dot? Thanks.
  17. Radio Exploding sonic boom then alien clicking static

    Ford never contacted. I did receive a follow up questionnaire from the NHTSB early this week from the “case” I submitted to the NHTSB.
  18. Price reduced: Running boards platinum Lightning, $250

    Running boards off an early September Platinum with 8k miles so there are a few blemishes but nothing other than normal wear. Texas truck. I replaced with AMP XL’s. I repurposed the connector to use for under carriage lights so you will have to hardwire if you are going to utilize the lights...
  19. Massachusetts WTB: Lightning Running Boards for Pro

    I’ve got a pair. Just took them off. 5 1/2 months old but in very good condition. Put on a pair of Amps. ‘22 Lightning. Let me know if you are still in need.
  20. AMP Research Powerstep Install Question

    I took a picture of how the main battery frame bracket was conflicting with the power step motor. The dark (moist) spot is about the area which would have to be removed for the power step motor to be mounted on the driver side front part of step. Works fine on the back but an extension in two...
