@ajbessinger awesome video and step by step guide! Also great to hear you’re headed to the east coast. How in the world did you get that giant pack off the pallet on the floor onto that rolling cart?

It’s a pretty involved process. Here’s a video @Aminorjourney did on it

Ha thanks! I almost forgot I said this back then.

That’s probably true about the warranty but in this case the truck was at 143k miles and well out of warranty anyways. It’s amazing this pack is so plug and play. Huge bonus points to Ford engineers on this one. And what a cool step by step video.

He also said it was just incredibly difficult to find anyone selling used modules. This may change with time, but for right now it’s easier to just find used packs.

I keep forgetting I have this. But also, you kind of have to have no one waiting behind you or this gets stressful real fast. I remember using it a few times to parallel park at work and it does work, but seeing your steering wheel flying around at warp speed as your truck gets inches from the...

That’s a tough decision. $55k seems about $8-$10k more than what I’ve seen some used platinums go for these days, but keeping the truck you’ve known from day 1 has value too (vs buying unknown used).

Maybe Ford stopped making this truck because they realized it would last too long.

Maybe it’s the high voltage BMS itself. I wonder if there’s some kind of reset they can do on it. I know there’s a BMS reset process for the 12v BMS.

When the tech themselves own a Lightning you know you’re in good hands.

I could be corrected here, but I think any 12v jump starter is fine to use to jump start a 12v AGM. Where you have to be careful is when you’re “charging” your 12v AGM battery. In that case, you’ll want a trickle charger that has a AGM setting or auto-detects if it’s an AGM battery (the Noco...

This might explain why every Ford tech I’ve met so far is about as happy as a postal worker.

They also fold up from the bottom just in case this is news to anyone 🤣

I like the looks of it, but it’s still slower than the Lightning ⚡️

I recently moved to a new home that has a garage the Lightning can fit in (yes!). But it feels so wrong to me to remote start the truck with the garage door still closed. Old habits die hard.

It sounds like you have what @Henry Ford had mentioned earlier in the this thread, ie a battery module going bad but without obvious error codes yet.

It’s possible one of my kids cranked it up while waiting in the truck without me, but no one owns up to it ha. I had the same thought though about this being an opportunity to upgrade the sub.

I’m going to try that route when I go in for my overdue 20k maintenance check in where they tell me it’s time for an oil change lol.

Anyone else have this issue? I was listening to music today and my rear sub has somehow just blown out and now buzzes instead of producing bass. I barely raise the volume on this truck so it’s kind of weird that it would just die on me randomly. I have a 2023 Lariat 8 speaker system.

Nice. Where did you get it swapped? And was it a used pack for discount?
