The returns are probably due to misinformed buyers. The BM300 works great and is an awesome tool.

GOM at 0% and 2 miles. The OBD2 scanner shows that the truck estimated that it still had 4.64 kWh stored, so maybe 9-11 miles range left. The reduction to 32% power was noticeable but it was still capable of more than adequate acceleration.

I have and and use the OBDLink MX+, FORScan, FORScan Lite, and FDRS. There are many cool improvements to make with FORScan. FORScan Lite works with iPhones and the MX+ and it allows you to reboot individual modules; it’s also the best tool I’ve found for clearing DTCs. I use Carscanner on...

Adjusting the amount of recline makes the vibration go away in my 24 Flash. Saw on another thread that someone made it go away by adjusting the lumbar support.

When you turn your truck off the modules consume considerable power during the half hour shutdown period. Mine starts that period drawing around 10A. It’s probably an average of 5 or 6 amps for a half hour, or about the same as your dashcam draws in 5 hours. A new, and hopefully higher...

Best thing to do first is make sure you have your modules updated. There were updates over the last year that improved management of the 12v system.

There were updates to the 12v BMS over the past year. Those greatly improved how my 24 Flash manages the 12v battery - it was very evident this winter. I recall getting one or two updates OTA that affected the 12v system but I’m not sure if there were others - I keep my trucks updated with FDRS...

I got it too. I’ve subscribed to the oNx Hunt app for years. It has the parcel boundaries and ownership info for the entire USA. It looks like the Elite package includes Hunt.

I had mobile service come out twice this week, once for my Lightning updates and once for my 23 Lariat 5.0. Both have had the persistent ACM update that won’t clear. The Lightning had an ACM recall and the 5.0 didn’t have an ACM recall. I stood and talked to the guys that did the updates. On...

I don't use departure times often, because my truck is in the garage. But I did use a departure time yesterday and the truck was plugged in and had completed charging the HVB. The voltage at the 12V battery went to 14.3V during the warm up for the departure time.

I just posted a minute ago about powering my house for 10+ hours last weekend during the big storm. For all but the first 20 minutes I had PPOB On, Truck Off. At the end of the test, before shutting down, the low voltage system was floating at 13.9v, it showed my 12V battery at 100% SOC, and...

I put it through a day long (about 10 hours) test last weekend during the big storm that blew through the Midwest. PPOB was on and powering my entire house. Truck off. I had my OBD2 scanner connected. I was able to connect and read most parameters the entire time, but it would not read/show...

I think I’m following what you’re saying here and want to offer what I’ve seen on my 24 Flash. With the truck off, PPOB On, work around in place - repeat cycle time with small heater on the floor of the back seat - the DC-DC converter is active continuously and holding the 12v system around 14v...

My ACM Update disappeared yesterday when I had Mobile Service perform the 25C69 Recall on the Integrated Park Module; it included SOBDMC, PCM, and ABS (maybe a couple more, I lost my screen capture). He also took care of the 26C10 Trailer Module update; same update is/was available on both my...
