I seem to remember just such a thread on the Mach E Forum.
Unfortunately, the dealership back shop, service bay and service tech advisor workforce is known for, umm, "moving on". So in my experience, a great EV-oriented dealership might look very different 18 months+ later.
Hey Jon,
I see we happen to have the same year and model of the Lightning :)
Here's my write-up of when I swapped out the decent OEM horns for more powerful high-pitch and low-pitch aftermarket horns a good while back...
There are plenty of manual-folding Lightning mirrors and F150 14th gen manual folding mirrors on EBay. Way cheaper than at the dealership.
The mirror disassembles like a big Lego set. All the mirror trim is disassemblable (is this a word? haha) with care and basic tools, and...
I use Amsoil MP HD Heavy Duty Metal Protector. It took me four cans to coat all the nooks and crannies on the underside of my truck, two winters ago.
There's an older thread on the Gen 14 F150 forum that had a months-long outdoor comparison runoff between Amsoil, Fluid Film and some other...
FYI for others' use: when after right the update I reconnected my ancillary electric stuff like the dash cam, the rat flashing motion deterrent and the aftermarket 12V battery Bluetooth monitor dongle, I saw that the 12V battery showed a 49% state of charge. This despite it being on the Clore...
So after seven days and nine (9) tries to install this OTA update, I finally succeeded just now. Many tries with many sequence variants to get the 12V battery up to top charge and for it to stay there... using the Clore charging & supply functions, and the 120V overnight Level 1 charging, and...
IMHO trailer brakes are like Winter aka "Snow" tires... they aren't needed until they suddenly and unpredictably are needed. The 5% or so of unpredictable situations when it makes a difference, are akin to car insurance in my book.
I strongly recommend the Eibach shocks. I have had them on for months now and couldn't be happier.
FYI - I reused the OEM springs and set the Eibachs at the OEM Lightning height (i.e. the lowest shock circlip setting all around).
Also - my Ford OEM shocks were all worn out, front and back...
Bruce, FYI I actually prefer the rows of hard physical buttons. It's one of the several reasons I chose my XLT 312A vice a higher trim Lightning.
On my previous Ford Fusion Energi some years ago, the infotainment screen failed and all of a sudden I was out of options to adjust heating, air...
I had BlueCruise (up to 1.2 eventually) on my 2022 Mach E. I don't have it on my XLT 312A, by my choice because after living through cold Winters with the Mach E's panoramic glass roof, I refused to buy another EV with a glass roof, and all Lightnings with solid roofs also lacked BlueCruise...
FYI for the discussion in this thread about updates to the BCM, which now cannot be done DIY: I have been successful nudging my local dealer service techs (in a good dealership BTW) to update the BCM for me when I knew it had updates, and I then used this argument "pls help me as only a...
I just got FP 6.6.0 on my Android. The new improved charge settings are on it, as per posts #19 and #21. My TOU charging times are unaffected. I don't use PAAK, so "no comment" on that.
All I have ever done with new TPMS (OEM TPMS) on my subsequent three Ford vehicles is just to drive the car once the new TPMS is mounted on a rotating wheel. The Ford OEM TPMS modules begin to self-sync with the Ford within a mile or so.
This included me putting new TPMS units on used Ford...
O.K. I understand better now.
Why not just disconnect the white wrap bars? I'm sure they each have a plug somewhere behind them. After all, a Pro trim only has the side edge ones, not the top one.
Or, alternately, You could vinyl wrap them or stain them in black or whatever translucent color...
This function worked well in the Ford Mach E. Same factory, similar (I assume) software development and similar (again, I assume) hardware specifications... wassup Ford?
