  1. 2023 battery updates discovered in service manual

    I have to imagine these are gas blow out disc's. Normally totally sealed. Once pressure exceeds a set limit inside the sealed pack the seals blow out/pop releasing pressure in a controlled manner. Once they do, they will not be water or air tight but in that scenario, you likely don't care...
  2. Google Maps EV Routing for Android Auto Now Available for the F-150 Lightning!

    @Ford Motor ComFord please bring the pre-conditioning for DC fast charging to Apple maps and iOS users also! I love using my Maps app for long trips. Thanks!
  3. Selling because I drive too much.

    I'm a power engineer and have done a lot of work with a lot of batteries over the years. All kinds of weird ones for undersea vehicles, etc. I understand your fears, but given how many miles you've made it with your current battery and the fact that battery costs will be going down over time, I...
  4. Connected to Charger Error & Won't Shift Out of Park. Lesson learned: carry a 10mm wrench (to disconnect battery)

    I've been using it since January 2024 and have not had any issues. The built-in BMS is entirely separate from the truck's BMS, so they don't talk, and there aren't any problems. Both are working. I know many people have thoughts (positive and negative, no pun intended) on the OHMMU battery. So...
  5. Connected to Charger Error & Won't Shift Out of Park. Lesson learned: carry a 10mm wrench (to disconnect battery)

    Okay, guys... shoot me now because this is an expensive option for a simple problem (I carry a toolbox in the truck for emergencies and have learned over the years to have a 10mm socket and odd smaller socket sizes in my Ford trucks). Still, I bought an OHMMU battery to replace the AGM in the...
  6. New owner, questions about build quality/road noise

    Thanks for sharing that information. I can only speak for the Lightnings I've seen personally, and not being an EV mechanic, my sample size is limited! I love this forum because I'm always made smarter by coming here.
  7. Ford Power Promise: Your Electric Journey, Enhanced

    I'm excited to see what this program brings to the Ford Electric Vehicle community. I love my F150 Lightning, and anything you can do to make that experience even better is icing on the cake. Please keep this going, keep improving, and bring electrification to more of your vehicles. I'm looking...
  8. New owner, questions about build quality/road noise

    It's usually black.
  9. Is Anybody Happy With Their Lightning?

    I can't say enough good things about my Lightning. I've owned three F-150 ICE trucks before this one, and not only is this my favorite F-150, but it's my favorite vehicle I've ever owned. Full disclosure, I don't trade in my trucks until they are either very high mileage or closing in on 10...
  10. Paint Protection?

    I have the Ceramic Pro Ultimate Armor package which guarantees your finish for life. It provides PPF+Ceramic on the front of the truck and ceramic coating on the rest of the truck+glass+wheels. I also had nano-ceramic window tint added to cut down on summer heating in the cab. This is my second...
  11. Lowered with Eibach Springs + Hellwig Front Sway Bar (Updated w/ Results)

    Have you been able to use Blue Cruise? I was under the impression it would not work if you do this. I put in the Eibach Pro shocks but kept to the original ride height and haven't put in the springs. It made driving on and off-road much less bumpy and reduced sway during turns as well. I'm very...
  12. Red, White, And BlueCruise: U.S. Hands-Free Highway Driving Trends

    I have no issues with being tracked or sharing my data with Ford. Especially if it makes these features better and safer. You share your location data so many times a day whether you know it or not via your IP address when you login or use your home computer, via your phone, your credit card...
  13. CyberTruck Fires begin

    Cue the Titanic theme song and a cyber truck hitting a truck hauling ice while using self driving mode...
  14. Towing 1.0 kWh/mile (7,000 lb boat)

    I have both of them myself and agree 100% with Rick. The A2Z adapters work great. And super fast!
  15. Individual Battery Module Replacement with Degradation

    It is worth noting that in EV and vehicle batteries, when your displayed SoC is 100% charged, the actual battery is not close to 100% of its actual charge capacity. The ultimate reason for this is safety and the fact that battery manufacturing is still not a highly reliable/repeatable and...
  16. Individual Battery Module Replacement with Degradation

    Without going too deeply into this, I have background in battery design and technology. Replacing a single sell to try to improve range or overall available capacity of the entire battery system is not an ideal solution. You'll get a very minor initial improvement but the system as designed...
  17. Keep Cool This Summer: Portable Fridges for Road Trips

    I've got an Anker EverFrost 43L fridge/freezer combo. You can run it on battery or plug in. It will run 35 hours on battery at 36F and you can set it from -4F to 68F. You can fully recharge the battery from the truck in 2.5 hours or just keep it plugged in while you drive. It's QUIET, has a...
  18. Failed Attempt to Charge w/A2Z Typhoon Adapter

    The very same thing happened to me. Once I finally got it to engage the lock, it worked like a dream. And boy howdy, the truck charged faster than ever! Stick with it!
