I read through this lengthy thread but I’m still uncertain about what wire gauge I’d be allowed to use with the Ford Charge Station Pro when I’m derating it. If I want to set it to 64amps I’d probably still use 3awg copper with an 80amp breaker. But if I wanted to set it 48amps with a 60amp...

So it looks like they do indeed do a coolant flush when they replace the heater according to the 2 gallons line item.

On the website to sign up, there's an option for $60 additional dollars that says it covers the following: Interior / Exterior Lighting - $60 The interior/exterior lighting option provides repair or replacement for electrical failures on incandescent bulbs, halogen bulbs, High Intensity...

Something tells me Massachusetts will never approve this. Here’s to hoping! 🍺

Did they have any ideas on how the SOBDM got shorted out? Glad to hear the truck is fixed!

Really looking forward to this series! Agree with several others that the protective skid plate with side protection for the HV wire harnesses and the coolant lines would be my first thought. It’s too bad that Australian company isn’t responding. But fabricating that piece of metal can’t be that...

This also popped up when browsing FB but I won’t even bother asking if this would work on the Lightning 🙂

That’s cool. I’ve never seen one of these in real life before but it seems like a really cool feature for not a lot of complexity.

I noticed this too. Maybe it has a really large low end buffer to prevent you from completely draining the usable battery. Otherwise you’d be stuck waiting for the onboard engine to recharge the battery before you could go anywhere. And the gas truck people buying this would lose their minds if...

I saw this FB Marketplace listing for a Ford truck that has a hydraulic bed that can dump. I’ve never seen this before. So of course it had me wondering if this could ever be done on a Lightning?

Keep us posted on how the journey goes!

As a side note I can also shuttle around my EV snowblower (and charge it from the truck) which I had to do this winter.

It’s a great camp vehicle. Thanks for the reminder we need to do this again this summer.

We might need a new song called, They Killed the Lightning and Broke my Heart :)

I’ve never heard of an experience like this one. I gave your post to Gemeni AI and here’s what it had to say: That is a classic, "ghost in the machine" Ford Lightning story. Since you're active on the forums, you know these trucks can be incredibly sensitive to communication errors between the...

So today I tried an EV Connect DC fast charger at a Ford dealership and everything was fine. I started the DC charge session and later locked the truck while it was charging and no issues. So it must have been the Electrify America charger I was at earlier.

Looks good and the specs are impressive. This is the kind of “from the ground up” next gen EV that Ford keeps telling us they’re working on. These major OEMs have to give it all they’ve got if they want to survive China EVs.

This is good to know about EA chargers. Come to think of it this might have been only my second time using one of those. I usually use Tesla for fast charging. So apparently this was just an EA issue.

Bug and performance fixes.

Mine did it again this morning too and it’s been consistently cold (under 30F). Parked last night at 89% and when driving a few mins this morning it was 91%.
