  1. Battery coolant connector/fitting broken/snapped leaking

    Thats a great idea - I'll probably try and zip tie something in there like you did. If someone would make one that bolts right there to the 2 bolts that extends forward, they would make a mint selling these. Cheap insurance.
  2. Ford can't fix my truck...What should I do???

    I thought the same, but honestly, once its out of warranty it gets easier - there are lots of aftermarket or non OEM parts for these trucks, and a fair number of gasser f150 parts are interchangeable. With my trucks issue, non OEM CV axles are available, but ford wont use them for a warranty...
  3. Ford can't fix my truck...What should I do???

    I'm not really sure what options you have right now other than calling the ford EV team. I had a similar issue with my truck last year where the CV axle failed, and the part was back ordered., They were able to get me in a loaner, but they had the truck for 46 days before I got it back. It...
  4. Emporia monitor shows dip in power every 2 hours, on the hour!

    If I was a betting man, I'd bet that something in the sensor or application chain is resetting or refreshing a session every 2 hours. Probably some kind of random instability issue was identified that occurs sometimes after 2 hours, so they just setup a session refresh every 2 hours to get...
  5. Grind or popping noise at slow speeds

    Its definitely not an IWE issue - thats an ICE issue. These trucks dont have that system -they're full time 4WD/AWD
  6. Grind or popping noise at slow speeds

    Hard to tell if it sounds exactly the same as what you have there in your video. If its a CV join issue, you'll hear it more and more as it gets worse (it gets louder), and will hear it more when accelerating and if you make a tight turn (binds up the CV knuckle). After I started noticing it...
  7. Grind or popping noise at slow speeds

    If its under warantly still, I'd take it to Ford. If its no longer under warranty, you could go either way - any decent service shop should be able to replace the CV joints on these trucks - its essentially just like any other truck. The trick is getting the right part - the CV axles on these...
  8. Dump bed possible on Lightning?

    I mean, with enough money, ANYTHING is possible, but with the official payload capacity of these trucks so low already, the hardware to make it a dump bed would probably exceed or eat up the available capacity, so you'd have a dump bed that you couldn't put anything in - the one you showed was...
  9. Grind or popping noise at slow speeds

    It could be the CV axle, though you said you've had it in to several shops to have them look at it - I imagine that they would have checked that. Dont dilly dally about getting it in to fix if it is the CV ; they had my truck for 46 days while waiting for the part to come in.
  10. My Lightning burned to the ground

    I agree with you - too early to say for sure, but - "under your feet" is relative - when you're sitting up front, the LVB is right there between the seats, and I could absolutely see that being felt in your feet. The 2 smaller pops sound like the pyro fuses blowing, which would make sense if...
  11. Folding bed extender installed

    Does this block access to the power panel in the bed? Looks like it might. Other than that, looks like a nice mod!
  12. Starlink Mini, Does it FIT under the sunroof privacy shade?

    I have this exact mount and it works great - easily clears the shade and good connection to starlink through the roof even with it flat (the EBS phased array antenna in this thing is amazing!). Question for you though - how are you getting the cable out of the sunroof area? I haven't looked too...
  13. Lightning vs. Kia collision - "Built Ford Tough"

    Man, sure doesnt look like much damage, but I'd be worried about the wheel/hub and rear motor. Looks like they glanced off the bumper and probably hit the tire. Could be some damage in there that cant be seen. (hopefully not)
  14. Blue cruise 1.4 update not completed

    I'm in the same boat, so if anyone figures out how to force the update to install, let me know. I monitor my 12v SOC pretty regularly, and it usually stays pretty close to 100% (I drive every day) - lowest I've seen it is 88% and that was a while ago.
  15. 100,000 miles in 27 months.

    Depending on where he's at and what he does, that's not unheard of. I did more than that for a little over 3 years - 93 miles one way, 4 days a week on average. I made them get me a rental though when I was doing that - no way I was putting that kind of wear and tear on my personal vehicle.
