  1. Adding grill mesh ahead of active shutters in bumper?

    I just found a very large bird nest behind the shutters! I noticed some sticks protruding out of the grill found the whole right side completely stuffed with the nest. I took me 20 minutes with a shop-vac and some long thin attachments to pull it all out. I'm going to install some mesh asap...
  2. Truck remembered sport mode but now forgets it again

    When I restart my truck after previously shutting it down in Sport mode, I receive a prompt on the screen asking me to “press OK to resume driving in Sport mode”.

    Brought her home Thursday. How sweet it is!

    My hunch was correct, the truck was not yet here. I won’t bore you with all of the details, but I will tell you before I left the house for the dealership in the morning the internet sales office called me to ask if I was coming by to see the truck I was interested in. They confirmed by VIN...

    Still waiting on my shipped status. This evening while clearing out my typical load of junk email I noticed an email from my local Ford dealer advertising over $10K off F150s. So I had a look. Lo and behold, my truck is listed as “in stock” (it’s my VIN) boasting a sale price, and a...

    My estimated delivery just changed from 10/6/2023 - 10/12/2023 to 10/1/2023 - 10/7/2023. So much for my confidence in the estimated dates, unless of course my truck is already on a Maryland bound train.

    I get the following message now when I click the Activate button: I'll wait it out. I hope to be sitting in the truck within a few weeks.

    I received access a couple of days after the truck came off the assembly line…for about 7-days. Initially I received the following message in Ford Pass: “You have successfully been authorized to remotely control and view the location of F-150” A week later I received the following: “VEHICLE...
  10. CSP-23B57 for High Voltage Battery Notice

    Man, I’m stocking up on the popcorn for this movie. I am starting to think that these trucks are in fact doing the “ET call home” thing, reaching out to mother Ford with diagnostics information. How else would they know that batteries, or a set percentage of batteries, require replacement...
  11. CSP-23B57 for High Voltage Battery Notice

    The CSP bulletin states “some vehicles may be in the process of being repaired at the plant.” Curious if anyone knows if the BECM software update associated with this CSP assists in the detection of the unstable voltage defect in vehicles that may have previously gone undetected before they...

    Not exactly a live drone shot, but if you're interested in where at least some of our trucks are sitting (including mine) have a look at this parking lot on Google maps: Dearborn Holding Lot It's about a mile north of the Rouge assembly plant. The lot is big, but I don't think it can...
  13. CSP-23B57 for High Voltage Battery Notice

    Yes, let’s hope so. Also, let’s hope Ford was able to develop an inspection/test procedure that produces high confidence results, i.e. problem/no problem. I’m sure we will soon see the technical instructions service departments are receiving to perform the CSP.
  14. CSP-23B57 for High Voltage Battery Notice

    I checked the Ford support recall website. My truck, which is one of the 10,000+ still sitting in Dearborn undelivered, is subject to this CSP. I'm relieved the issue will be sorted out before it leaves Dearborn and my local dealership won't have to use this CSP as a learning exercise for...

    Thinking about it, I wouldn't want to get an employee in trouble for confirming the activation request. Soooo, if were to get a sneak-peak of my truck, the mileage, charge level, and location, I'm not sure I would share it :unsure::cool:
  16. Tips to protect front “grill”

    I came across this pre-cut vinyl wrap for the Lightning grille. I'm guessing it's a new offer as it doesn't have any reviews or photos yet. It's a little pricey but if it keeps the grille looking good it may be worth it. Who's brave enough to give it a try? I don't have my truck yet...

    A little more sweetness added to the wait---this morning my Ford Pass app acknowledged the truck has a heartbeat and I transmitted the Activation Request. I don't really care if the request is confirmed by a casual employee operating the truck, I'm just happy for the verification that the truck...

    Inching forward…TearTag code has been populated.
