  1. Anybody use WD-40 Electrical Contact Cleaner on the Charger or truck socket

    You are fixing a problem that doesn't exist. I don't know if it would cause additional problems but I do know that doing nothing won't cause additional problems and it's cheaper.
  2. Repair question -- minor collision

    How much money are you saving? That could be a $3000 repair or it could be a $15000 repair. I wouldn't take the chance for less than a $15000 discount. Also, without someone looking at it you don't know if suspension or frame parts are broken. A bent frame would be a hard no at any price for...
  3. One Reason EV Owners Pay Higher Insurance Rates

    I've heard of other people getting bonkers quotes from AO. I'm probably paying more than I need to buy in my case I have a personal loyalty to them. It's probably irrational but they have been very good to my family.
  4. SYNC Update 25.2.4.9 APIM

    SYNC 4 = 12" screen SYNC 4A = 15" screen YouTube has been available on the 15" screen for awhile. I assume this means YouTube is now available on the 12" screen. I could be mistaken, as Ford nomenclature isn't always super obvious.
  5. One Reason EV Owners Pay Higher Insurance Rates

    That's wild. I insure my Platinum through Auto Owners in Michigan and it's expensive but nowhere near $8k. I assumed Michigan was the most expensive state for car insurance because of our no-fault rules but a quick Google search shows Florida is more expensive. I guess Michigan doesn't have to...
  6. Connected Navigation Expired.

    Maybe this was already covered but Google Maps with Android Auto does a great job of EV routing. I don't know if it's available on iOS though.
  7. Front suspension OEM endlinks - has anyone replaced them because of wearout?

    Just order the extra parts and return them if you decide they aren't needed.
  8. Not a single "not true", except from Brian, not AI...

    Maybe I'm wrong. I hope I am. I'm just an idiot on the Internet reading tea leaves.
  9. Not a single "not true", except from Brian, not AI...

    They shut down the factory for a reason; it's not profitable. It seems pretty obvious to me the last Lightning has been produced. It doesn't matter if it's a great vehicle. There isn't a path to profitablity. It would be one thing if it was on the same assembly line as the other F150s. Maybe it...
  10. Ford considers ending F-150 Lightning

    Ford extended the warranty. My understanding is it's a flawed design. Presumably, the extended warranty got the affected vehicles closer to the end of their normal useful life.🤷
  11. Ford considers ending F-150 Lightning

    The writing was on the wall when they "paused" production. The Lightning has never made money and has no realistic path to profitablity. It was a fun experience and I appreciate Ford subsidizing my truck. It's still an F150; maintenance support should be fine. Resale...eh, probably not great...
  12. GM infotainment

    I don't think parts availability will be as big an issue as you do. Lightning is a trim level of the F150 and shares an overwhelming number of components, including modules. Even the center screen is shared with the Expedition. There have been about 100,000 Lightnings built. It's not exactly a...
  13. Android update seriously borks usability

    Are you Early Access? If you are, contact Ford about this glitch. People who have been using swipe gestures would never have noticed this.
  14. 2022 Lariat Heat Pump Conversion/Install

    Why? Is your daily commute five miles beyond your current range?
  15. Turbine/Aero wheels

    I'm still waiting for someone to tape up their wheels and report the affect on efficiency. Alas...
  16. How does the lower front air dam work?

    The actuators were replaced with genuine Ford parts. Both were broken on impact and unable to be reused. They worked fine for a while then stopped working in the down position. The dealership looked at them and determined both were dead. Seems unlikely to me but the service rep said he's seen...
  17. How does the lower front air dam work?

    A tire tread took out my air dam. Both actuators were broken as others have also experienced. The body shop replaced all broken parts. A couple months later I noticed the air dam was always deployed. There were no DTCs or other indication that something was wrong. My dealership replaced both...
  18. How does cabin heating work?

    If 74° isn't comfortable, set it to a higher number. MAX defrost clears windows quickly. For best comfort turn the HVAC on before you get in the truck. If you leave at the same time every day you can set a departure time. Yours isn't the first thread focusing on how owners WANT the system to...
