Ooh, high voltage DC power. Another option I hadn't considered lol. That brings me to another rant. I wish Ford would open the API for the V2X port. Like how the FCSP communicates for the HIS. (Man that's a lot of letters.) Then third parties could step in and do a lot of cool stuff like that...

I wasn't really misinterpreting your post... just lamenting the lack of the proper simple solution for our trucks. I'm pretty sure I've complained about this before 😁 Yes I suppose a 240V high amp power supply for the winch would work too. But again, just like hydraulic, it'd be another...

Problem is that is toy capacity. Yes there are a few shop/lifting style 240V winches but they're all too small for a truck. The biggest I could see with a quick search is 3500 lb: https://prowinch.com/shop/3500-lb-industrial-electric-winch-moderate-duty-with-wire-rope-220-240v-175-ton That...

Wake me when someone makes a 240 volt winch that can plug into the bed outlet

It's only been 2 years (end Feb 2024), but your point stands lol.

25.8.5 should be the right one for the 2023 model year. 25.13.12 was for 2022s. According to the threads on those updates

It has driven me crazy from day one that the PPOB cutoff is in miles/km and not battery %. Stupidest design ever.

So many things in the app could be improved if they just included a timestamp of the event and/or last update. Then you would have some clues where the communication problems arise. The truck talks to Ford's servers through its cellular modem. The app also talks to the servers through the...

Do you use 1 pedal drive? Does this only happen when coming to or starting from a complete stop? On my truck, the hydraulic valve that controls pressure to/from the accumulator for the brakes makes a little squeak sort of noise. This happens at low speed when applying/releasing hydraulic...

The article doesn't specifically say. 🙄 I assume the Hummer and Silverado but the article also talks about the Sierra. And it's a two week extension of a pause already in effect, so not necessarily the end times just yet. Given the way oil prices are headed I wouldn't make any major cuts just...

2 winters here now charging outdoors in a northern climate and no issues with no cover. Snow just brushes off, and it's already water resistant enough for rain. Freezing rain would be the only concern for me; if that was forecast I'd throw a towel over it. But haven't had to so far. When I...

Biggest benefit is probably motivating the developer to keep it going. Won't hurt to throw some money their way once in a while. I suppose Rivian has deep pockets but in general that's how I look at software.

I stand corrected. Sounds... dangerous 😅 but it's good to know it's more powerful than I thought

FORscan? Sounds like you are talking about module configuration. The OP's question was about the module firmware itself.

I had that. Bed outlets stopped working and got the service required error when I tried to turn on PPOB. Dealer fixed it under warranty - they had to replace the bed outlets even though the problem was with the wiring harness, since the harness itself wasn't available as a separate part and...

My new EVSE could do that. Maybe it's the lesser of the evils. I don't know. The truck would lose the ability to keep the battery warm in cold weather though. I know it doesn't try very hard, but when it gets truly cold it does draw a few kWh every now and then.

There is a whole subreddit dedicated to this. r/spicypillows

I should try it again to see if anything has changed recently. I am using a different EVSE now, and there have been a few software updates. The issue I had before - I think I've complained about this here - is that if the charge is just right, the truck will error out. I can charge about 45-50%...

That doesn't solve it, for me at least. I never use departure times. But if I plug in early and the truck doesn't think it can reach the target charge before the end of the charge window, it will start charging early. Interestingly it will start early but it won't run late. It will stop at the...

They said they are using a very low duty cycle (1 second on, 220 seconds off) using a timer, so the heater uses negligible power on average.
