It's a regulatory necessity. Every trunk and frunk that's big enough to hold a three year old child sized dummy has to have an internal escape release and it also glows in the dark or is lighted.
It also mentions frunks requiring a 2 stage latch that only opens below a certain speed.
I find it highly unlikely there are 8 bad modules unless they were part of the bad batch that came out in the early days. There was a recall on a few trucks, double check that yours wasn't supposed to be part of that.
Ya, like @Mike G says, it's not the nuts on the lightning, it's a known issue that can be fixed by adding a washer behind the bearing.
Your axle nuts will always corrode if you're in a corrosive environment. Losing torque on them would be noticeable too so I'm skeptical.
I also don't see how a hybrid would be cheaper than an ev. Did they forget to add the electricity costs?
Here's some more realistic numbers for 943 miles:
Avg gas in Vi, $3.93/gal
Avg electric rate $0.1761/kwh
Lightning efficiency @ 2.0mil/kwh
F150 gasser @ 20mpg
Lightning costs = $83...
The armor all brand and others have cleaners and various protectants, including a non shiny version. I never liked the shine so I've always used the matte ones.

This happened to me once last summer. The fan never kicked in, there were other reports of it too. It's a software issue but not consistent or reproduceable.
Because there was no longer a need for an 80a evse. It's a great unit, mine has run flawlessly for nearly 4 years. It's made by Siemens if i recall correctly.
Battery voltage is a terrible indicator of battery capacity. You can have a battery that maintains voltage quite well until you put a load on it.
The real test is to remove it, fully charge it and then use a load tester like this...
Anything below 42.
The difference between 18 and 20 is night and day for me. The truck will handle better with 20s.
My current tires are Lt 20in AT and I've lost a little range but no need to swap for winter and I'm much more comfortable driving on the logging roads I'm on almost weekly...
What were the tire types and brands? My original general grabbers were smooth as silk and efficient but not agressive enough for winter use after the first year. I switched to an at tire and they're much more durable but more noise and less range.
Do you guys wash your trucks regularly in carwashes that have fruity smelling soaps? I park in the bush all the time and haven't had any issues, I rarely go through car washes.
