  2. Lightbar Tint Options - My Research - Updated

    This was a 3M wrap intended for tail lights. Sorry I do not know the exact color / shade. This work was done by auto image in New Brunswick nj. I specified that I wanted it to be matte and not glossy.

    at night you can’t tell it’s wrapped at all
  4. Lightbar Tint Options - My Research - Updated

    I hade mine blacked out w/ wrap (I believe the Luxe mentioned here). I went to two wrap shops prior, they wanted $500 and $700 and told me it would have light gaps at the creases. I ended up getting a PPF at a more well known place and they did the light bar for $300 and it came out perfect...
  5. 8 speaker B&O sucks

    I had my stereo upgraded using all MSC components ( Helix, Blam, etc ) -- see attached PDF https://www.systemsbymsc.com/ford-f150-2018-2020 They make a custom box that goes under the back seat that fits 2x10s. Most interior speakers are replaced, notably the tweeters in A pillar, mids in the...
  6. Is ForScan Mac / OSX compatible?

    FWIW I have tried to get this working via emulation (via UTM - instead of virtualization, since newer macs are not Intel based). TLDR its not worth the effort. I ended up buying a $199 windows laptop on amazon and using this for windows required software
  7. Spontaneously cracked taillight

    I had the same issue. Mine was caused by a rock that was in the tail gate. I had a load of dirt w/ gravel and when I closed the tailgate, a rock cause a crack in the same spot where yours is. Time went by, moisture accumulated and the BLIS sensor eventually fried, then the blicker/taillight...

    Thank you for putting this together. Many people (myself included) will find this very helpful.
  9. Cell Level Testing of the SK805A (Lightning Cell)

    I am saying *this post in particular* is not informative since there is no data, just an opinion based on an observation of something that no one else has access to. Secondly if someone is truly worried about an NDA, you don't even make a post like this in the first place, you are already...
  10. Cell Level Testing of the SK805A (Lightning Cell)

    This whole post comes across as "Im smarter than you, if you ask the right question maybe youll get lucky". Either share the information you have or don't waste our time with this click bait.
  11. Update 6.8 update problem

    i'm in the same boat. have tried 6.8 update over 2 dozen times under different charging scenarios. i have not measured 12v battery yet, nor have i gotten my battery module looked at yet (part of the service bulletin). i am hoping this is an issue w/ the LVB, as all prior software updates worked...
  12. Subwoofers installed (two 12 inch Kicker CWRT12s in an enclosed box under back seat)

    Thanks for the post; I'm interested in learning more. A 1200W amp would draw ~100A @ 12v at full load. Its my understanding that the DC-DC converter can only support about 50A total. Are you able to monitor load/stress on the 12V battery health? I want to install an aftermarket amp but I'm...
  13. Worse Case Scenario: Ford wrecked my 2022 F-150 Lightning during a 20k miles service, forgot to install lug nuts

    what was the name of the dealer who did this? others should avoid using them for maintenance
  14. New Lightning, EXTREMELY low range.

    Ford did nothing to decieve anyone here; there is no basis for a lawsuit. You bought a truck with an advertised battery capacity, and you got a truck with that capacity. How far that battery capacity takes you is a function of multiple things discussed in this thread, namely temperature, wind...
