  1. Front Hitch Installed on Lightning - Good news

    I decided to fit the deployable air dam onto the hitch. Sure it reduces ground clearance "permanently" , but if I think its getting in the way it is easily removed. There is now @6" road clearance from the lowest part of the air dam to the road. I did not notice much difference in the...
  2. Front Hitch Installed on Lightning - Good news

    Power was simple- Snowsport winch to raise plow has 2 wires. Power (12V) and control switch wires. They are only long enough for a front mount and I had to extend them for my initial rear mount. Anyway the 12 V power cord went directly to the 12V battery and was bolted onto the normal battery...
  3. Front Hitch Installed on Lightning - Good news

    Here is a youtube link with who I was talking to about his hitch install. 2024 Ford Lightning F150 Front Hitch Install
  4. Front Hitch Installed on Lightning - Good news

    I finished the install of the draw Tite - 65067 receiver- currently the auto deploy air dam is removed, and I do not see any normal driving effects of it not being there for deployment at higher speeds. I do not do a lot of high speed driving. I cannot modify the dam to deploy around this...
  5. Front Hitch Installed on Lightning - Good news

    It certainly could work well for those pushing a boat etc light applications. My concern is not the hitch, but how tge tow hooks are fastened to the frame. The bolts look very light duty. Me and others are adding front hitches for snow plowing use with hitch mounted plows. So I decided to go...
  6. Front Hitch Installed on Lightning - Good news

    Yea - my worry is that the load rating is only for pulling and take a look at the attachment to the frame of the tow hooks. I need a front hitch for snow plowing - much different type loads.
  7. Power outlet are timing off after 6 minutes!

    Yes I have noticed that on my 2024 Flash too. Especially when very cold if plugged in..
  8. Power outlet are timing off after 6 minutes!

    Hate to argue this but easily available national statistics show gas vehicles are 60 times more likely tocatch fire for a wide variety of reasons. A simple hot spot or spark does not make a fire unless the is something highly combustable nearby. Gasoline is extremely combustsble so the slightes...
  9. Power outlet are timing off after 6 minutes!

    Sorry the bulk of switches and connections in the truck are circuit board switches. IE. Computer switches. Most if not all Li battery fires are on cheap poorly regulated toy type items like scooters and kids electric toys. There are so few EV fires in relation to ICE car fires .. percentages ...
  10. Power outlet are timing off after 6 minutes!

    My 2024 Flash also times out with the leave propower on switch on. I have read that this is an issue Ford has not really fixed. So I am going with leaving the truck on, after shutting off the climate, lights, radio and then locking it and taking the FOB with me. I understand its totally safe...
  11. Free Ford NACS adapters are arriving! My order #813 arrived today!

    Same exact thing. The only way I identified what was being shipped is because you posted the shipper address. I got the same thing this morning in my email about a Fedex delivery coming. Finally!!! and Yea!!
  12. Repair/replace broken mirror trim

    The blinker light can be had on amazon for about 26$. The frame I have not looked for but I would look on amazon as its pretty standard replacement item and ford will charge probably double than an aftermarket one.
  13. Lightning preconditioning for departure by itself.

    There was a factory documentation stated in other forums which address this. Everyone experiences this and many have reported it. Perhaps someone can find that factory document to show us again.
  14. Lightning preconditioning for departure by itself.

    perhaps - Mine is a 2024 Flash. and if plugged in it maintains the battery at or above 40 degrees.
  15. Lightning preconditioning for departure by itself.

    It is actually maintaining the battery temperature above 40 degrees if plugged in. I thought the same thing. So if cold (I park mine in a carport and today it was -4 degrees) the truck will attempt to maintain at least 40 degrees regularly. It will cost you about 30-40 minutes of house...
  16. NHTSA Recall - Loss of Steering from Front Control Arm Separation (Impacting certain 2023 to 2024 builds)

    I got the same alert for my 2024 Flash. BUT I only got this alert via the ford owners website, and not on my Fordpass app on my phone. Kind of confusing. Also if the nuts are loose then why can't they simply be tightened? If they are missing then don't you think we should actually immediately...
  17. ✅ Ford Resumes Shipping NACS Charging Adapters (February 2025 batch)

    If I remember right, When I went into the fordpass app, after I bought my Flash, in the Connected Services tab there was a link to order the NACS adapter. I do not know if Ford continued this free offer or not and I thought it was a kindof on and off again offer. So you may or may not get a...
  18. ✅ Ford Resumes Shipping NACS Charging Adapters (February 2025 batch)

    Thanks for that info. I had not seen that. I do see it now. Lets see how accurate it is now. Mine says January 2025 delivery. Originally was December 2024 delivery. We shall find out.
