  1. Speaker upgrades without breaking bank or any significant wiring changes

    Yes. I have a 2023 Lariat ER and replaced the speakers with Powerbass direct fit replacements. Think the model # is OE69C-FD. Got One pair of 6x9, one pair of 6.5 inch speakers and two front tweeters. Found them on Amazon. Replacement process was easy, found some videos online. And I also...
  2. OEM Hankook tires

    Completely agree. I increased the tire pressure on my OE Hankook tires to 44 psi as soon as I got my truck. They wore evenly and I got about 72,000 km on them before replacing. I switched to Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 tires since I've used these on other trucks I had and they performed very well.
  3. '23 Lariat Tail Light Replacement - a personal saga

    I did this also. Used my original sensor, installed it into the lens housing I got from EBay, and everything worked with no programming or issues.
  4. ‼️ UPDATE FORD E-RAPTOR grille swap and install tutorial

    I did this, except I omitted the big FORD letters. Here is a photo and a link to the description of my install. https://www.f150lightningforum.com/forum/threads/raptor-grille-with-lighted-emblem-and-on-off-switch.21046/#post-414946
  5. Should I be concerned about the Fitcamx getting in the way of airbags?

    I have a different brand but same idea. I routed the rear cam cable down the driver's side A pillar, then under the plastic door sill/floorboards on the driver side front and rear doors, then back up the trim and to the rear window. Saw a Youtube video, wasn't that hard and it stayed away from...
  6. Rattle Driving me Nuts!

    I had such a rattle too. In my case, it turned out to be the spare tire jack behind the rear passenger side seat. Even when stored properly there was still a little play in that set up, so I folded in an old towel back there to keep things from moving. Good luck...
  7. CSP 24B56 - Inoperative Front Parking Sensor(s) - IPMA Software Update for Certain 2022-24 F-150 Lightning Trucks

    I appreciate your update, good info. I tried scheduling mobile service for this, but my dealer would only do this at the shop in case the 24B56 update failed. So, I'm taking it in this Friday and I hope I won't have any issues either. I read elsewhere that one result of the 24B56 update is that...
  8. Charging at Public Chargers Question

    To get Tesla membership pricing when charging, you just have to start the session with the Tesla app, no need to turn off Ford plug and charge. I've done this plenty, no issues in getting the discounted price. Not sure if Electrify America works the same way. And yes, for long trips where you...
  9. Raptor Grille with Lighted Emblem and On/Off Switch

    Thanks. My main motivation was that I wanted the lighted emblem with this style grille, so the camera mounting non-issue was bonus. But overall it was probably the same or maybe even more work because of all the other mods I needed to do to get things to fit. Now I need to tint that light bar...
  10. Raptor Grille with Lighted Emblem and On/Off Switch

    I haven’t seen anyone do this yet so I thought I’d share my Raptor grille installed with the Putco lighted Ford emblem. I didn’t install the FORD letters, and instead of the amber lights that came with the grille I bought white LED lights. I also added a rocker switch so I could turn the emblem...
  11. Raptor lights connection advise.

    No. You need a micro fuse tap. Can get online or local auto parts store. Sorry, I should've mentioned that.
  12. Raptor lights connection advise.

    Fuse 21. It's a spare, easy to get to, and powers on and off with the truck. I tested it yesterday, and literally finishing up the wiring and connections today.
  13. Weight limit roads / bridges are exceeded by our Lightnings - how will these EV trucks handle restrictions ?

    I am a practicing Civil Engineer who has managed road and bridge engineering and maintenance departments so I'll chime in. Sandman is correct. If a weight restriction on a given bridge is exceeded will the bridge fail and collapse? Likely not, but depends on many factors like how much weight...
  14. New Rivian R1 Gen 2 Interior, Exterior and 22" Range Wheels with / without covers - Real Life Pictures

    Still has the face that only a mother could love, but to each his own...
  15. Powertrain Malfunction / Reduced Power - P0929

    Yes. The wrench warning light would sometimes come on, then disappear, then come back. Think it was on when I took it in. The good news for you, I think, is that continuing to drive with this issue doesn't appear to have any negative consequences to the actual powertrain/battery system (unlike...
