Yes they are a significant improvement. I kept the OEM springs and have not lowered, raised or leveled the truck and see no need to. BTW - on my old Fusion and ditto on my son's old Fusion, the OEM Ford shocks wore out within 30k or maybe less, both cars. Ford is not alone - most carmakers...

...and using a hair dryer on a cold windshield with its two bonded layers of glass is a good way to crack it thanks to different rates of heat-induced expansion, if one is not careful. I've seen it done :facepalm:

Congrats. This all doesn't matter... until one day when it matters a whole lot ;-) I already used my full 20 inch spare several times. Especially in Winter when it's easy to hit that ice-covered sharp-edged granite curb and cut thru the sidewall. Ask me how I know this?

?? can You explain please? where in the small screen (the IPC screen?) does this charging icon show up? And under what conditions does this icon show / what must happen that causes it to show up? Can You post an image of it showing up? I know my truck pretty well and I am at a loss. I...

I just got the Eibach shocks for my Lightning. After 78 thousand miles the OEM shocks were toast (usual for Ford OEM shocks). The Eibach shocks for the Lightning are absolutely two different sets with different part numbers and different bottom mounts, front to back.

This will become a significant capability, if / when confirmed... as over time all of our NAV free access will run out and, IMHO, most of us will not renew unless the annual renewal price becomes very low. Watching...

Yes... so an indirect indicator = the truck's cooling fans will kick in when the higher DC Fast charging rate kicks in, after the truck is plugged in and when the battery is warm enough. This was the same on my old Mach E.

Haha I'm installing my Ohmmu battery today before our slightly crazy Canada / Newfoundland camping trip soon. Same thought process...

Clay bars, with appropriate liquid lubrication added, pull off surface stuff which adheres to surfaces, painted or otherwise. They don't fog up anything. Think of Play Doh putty... it's an inexact comparison but illustrative about the mechanics of clay-barring something.

Oh jeez... yeah it's the beginning of Winter and based on Your location, the little guys are now all looking for shelter. They did a darn good number on Sonny Boy's Ford Fusion Energi in his Kentucky garage a few years ago. Them Kentucky mice are a tough crowd. What is the chewed-through...

I think that Ford engineers did a super-good job in programming the power delivery to every wheel through the power delivery modules, and this is one of the results of their quality work. When we (er, our then-14 year old nephew... I was the video operator) tried to drift our Lightning on the...

I live in pretty fully built-out Arlington County, Virginia and I do see my glare-free headlights at work in our urban area. They are speed-dependent of course so often, the truck speed is too low to turn the feature on... however, my glare-free headlights do work here as well. It's just...

I'd go for the OBD EX. Quality avoids a lot of weird problems.

For what it's worth, I've special-prepped both my Mach E Premium and now our Lightning windshields when the cars were new, with clay bars and with other stuff like IGL coatings. The "crinkly" faint sparkle always continued to show up afterwards, albeit under just the right low-angle light...

I use rectangular leading-edge KIMBLADE blades on the truck for the past 12+ months. Recommend them. www.kimblade.com

I do not think it's mostly the weight. I think it's mostly the air resistance, which varies with the shape and also increases with speed. I'm sure towed weight has some effect, certainly on acceleration, but imho that is not the major effect overall.

Hahaa - we're heading for a three-week camping trip in Newfoundland Canada in late December. Newfoundland gets a good load of snow and I'll be happy to truly test our Lightning's mettle. I'm certain the accompanying 17-year old nephew feels the same :crackup: I am switching to Nokian...

I had the same effect on the Mach E windshield, and of course now on our Lightning windshield. The effect is noticeable only when the sun strikes the windshield at a certain low angle. it almost evokes a faint "crinkling" inside the windshield(s). I note that both the Mach E and the Lightning...

Virginia actually has a still-small program to do exactly that... measure the miles and get charged accordingly. I think at least one member here is signed up for it. Overall, I like the concept although I do not like the associated "where does Your vehicle drive" state agency tracking this...

I've towed our teardrop camper all over the country, coast to coast+, with our Lightning. BLUF: yes DO use the TOW mode. There are unseen software and vehicle sway & wheel force factors that are active in TOW which aren't active in NORMAL. Weight of the towed trailer practically doesn't...
