  1. Walk Away Lock is Rolling Out to 2022-2023 F-150 Lightning

    Almost a year and I still don't have it. I have gotten other updates but not this one. Ridiculous.
  2. Battery Module Replacement Cost Out of Warranty (SSM55111) 103k miles

    If all your original modules are fairly degraded and one goes out and needs to be replaced, does that mean it can't be replaced with a new one since it would outside the tolerance?
  3. FORD warranty for California residents

    He's wanting to purchase a Ford extended warranty to cover the whole truck. California law prohibits residents from buying warranties from out-of-state dealers. The dealers that sell the warranties at the lowest prices aren't in California.
  4. Battery Overheat During DC Fast Charging

    I will note that it's not overheating (dangerous/damaging condition), the truck will stop charging altogether before that happens. I agree with others that there's likely something wrong. It may be helpful to try again in the same conditions but leave the HVAC completely off. That way when...
  5. BlueCruise renewal.... free????

    Same except I didn't buy a comma. 4 more on top of the original 3. I have no idea why. I do use BC so it's much appreciated! Although I wouldn't pay for it at the going rate.
  6. Failing bearing in front drive unit, just diagnosed at 112,647 miles.

    I really don't think that's a motivation. I bet 99+% of buyers don't know or even bother asking what the transmission fluid change interval is before buying a car. It's been awhile since I've seen anything regarding maintenance intervals being advertised by manufacturers. They do have to be...
  7. Tow/Haul, Max Tow, and Hot Weather Road Trips

    Max tow gives you a separate cooling system (compressor, heat exchanger) for just the battery and motors. Non-max tow it's only one for the cabin too. The truck will manage the battery temperature and won't let it overheat. It will slow down or even stop charging if it has to. You could try...
  8. Customer Satisfaction Program (CSP) 26B09 - GWM, APIM, TCU Update - Intelligent Backup Function

    I might do it just for the module updates. I wonder if I would notice anything different. I guess it would be better to wait until next year right before this CSP expires so I would get any more module updates released between now and then.
  9. F150 Lightning EV Fire in Service Bay

    A risk 20 times of what it was at year one would still be a fraction of the risk of an ICE vehicle catching fire.
  10. Is there a meter or method to determine the 12volt battery state of charge (SOC)?

    Yeah as others have said you can reset the BMS yourself. No need for a dealer visit. Just buy the battery and replace it yourself.
  11. Extended warranty options

    Did you talk to them or just look at their web site? At one time Ford had "used" Premium Care warranties. It covered the same as the "new" Premium Care. You just had to take the vehicle in for an inspection (at your expense). If the Used warranties are still available maybe they just aren't...
  12. Extended warranty options

    The Ford Premium Care warranty. But your mileage is too high to buy it, you need to be under 41k (they give a grace period after the 3/36 warranty expires). Talk to Granger Ford though, you may be able to get a different Ford warranty that is equivalent. I don't touch third-party warranties.
  13. Neighbor backed into truck what to look out for when opening frunk and repairs

    Depending on the insurance company's internal policies and state laws, filing a claim on your own insurance may be grounds to raise your rates even if you were not at fault and even if they get reimbursed by another party. The claim is now on your record and statistically you're now more likely...
  14. Compressor surging while running AC + DCFC??

    I have seen several reports that it is not.
  15. Failing bearing in front drive unit, just diagnosed at 112,647 miles.

    Wouldn't hurt to call a dealer and ask them how much they would charge. For that much money I'd at least get a second quote.
