If you go with a 9" wheel, the wheel will stick out about 6mm further outboard (and inboard) with the same offset as the factory wheel, which is 8.5" and the tire would be in the same location. It is, however, unlikely you'll find a 9" wheel with 44mm offset. Figure out how much more outboard...

There are multiple posts of this happening when cruise control is activated, and the resume button gets touched unintentionally when turning the wheel. I've had it happen, and now I ALWAYS make sure I turn cruise fully off when driving around town.

I think there are multiple motion sensors all connected to the BCM so I expect it isn't a simple thing to track. Keep us in the loop - I'd like to see what they track it to.

I'm curious if the process will work now that the dealer "touched" it. It could be that something wasn't quite right between the modules, and the dealer reset corrected the situation. I'd be tempted to try it again after a nice long drive when I know the battery is fully charged.

I've used the process twice on my 2023 Lariat about 1.5 years ago. Once when I started getting excessive drain messages, and once when the battery was replaced. It worked both times for me.

@lister coggs did you manage to get your drain issue sorted? I'm curious what was causing your problem.

It doesn't matter on a monitor like this since it uses so little power. The absolute purist would hook it to the positive terminal and the truck side of the BMS, but the readings will tell the story either way and the BMS and battery won't know the difference. In either case, make sure you...

No. The Lightning has a massive battery hanging on the bottom that balances the weight evenly across the truck. Sandbags would pale in comparison. The ICE trucks have really light rear ends, hence why folks used sandbags - especially in RWD models. Our Lightnings are balanced, heavy AWD with...

Hah, we all try that. Don't try this at home - we are trained professionals. :sunglasses: And certainly don't show your young driver. If you really want to drift in an open parking lot with no obstacles, you can turn off traction control by pressing and holding the TCS button for several...

Tires naturally lose pressure when it gets cold and gain it back when it gets hot - physics. It is necessary to add air in the fall/winter and remove air in the spring/fall on a perfectly sealed tire to maintain the recommended pressure. I wouldn't run it too much lower than the...

All windshields eventually suffer from sandblasting. The effect is accelerated by driving highway speeds on busy, dirty or sanded highways. If you've had it since new, there could be reasons, but the clear coat overspray that @Itaintfastenough describes would probably be easier to fix than...

It would need to be open on both ends so the gun latch mechanism is protected by the cover while plugged into the truck. It can be pretty simple. I like @unicorn1 's bread bag and elastics. Functional but probably not very durable. Something like a waterproof forearm protector is cheap and...

Good reference point. Given Ford's protection approach on the top and bottom, we might yield better results. Time will tell where we land. :sunglasses:

Taking an NMC battery below 20% true SOC starts exponential degradation. Below 10% and the degradation rate ramps up quickly. True, we are protected from the bottom 5% because in some cases, with cell-level discharges down to near 0% , the cells sometimes won't recover. Ford saves us from...

Memory effect has been eliminated with NMC and LFP technologies. It does more harm than good to drain the batteries really low with the two most common Lithium technologies.

As with many things ChatGPT, it doesn't tell the whole story. The Depth of Discharge (DOD) is a significant factor in determining the rate of degradation and is perhaps more impactful than the target SOC, given our top-protected packs. Draining your truck to 10% then charging it to 90% weekly...

Daily to 85%. DCFC to 80% a few times per month. L2 charge to 100% about once per month. Truck is 3 years old with 45,000mi and SOH is 99%.

That sucks. I thought Ford had fixed that problem. I think it was only 2022s that were affected. My 2023 hasn't had any issue with it.

I have the Emporia as well. The latch mechanism on the gun isn't the best design for icy weather. Note when you are plugging in and the latch mechanism is stiff, you may need to push the latch closed so the truck will charge. It's really annoying when you come out the next morning and it...
