I have a 2000 7.3 PS too. I tell people all the time the lightning would out pull that anyday of the week. Albeit not for long, because heat, range, and as you said axle and other stuff not hefty.
How far is porch outlet away from fuse box (wire length) plus how long is 12 ga extension cord? If this is pretty long you might be suffering from voltage drop on a long run. I just don’t remember current draw on mobile charger running on 120v. You might want to invest in a 10 ga extension cord...
I wouldn't be scared to do this, but, for me, glad I get extended warranty. Too many clean sheet parts that aren't readily available. You have to pay the dealer price for them anyway.
I use the speed sign recognition. I don't have any issues with it "seeing " exit speed limits and slowing down, but it does see hwy signs and thinks those are speed signs. I drive on a two lane hwy called Indiana 45. When I drive by those signs that say Indiana 45, ACC thinks that is a speed...
My OEM tires are Goodyear Wrangler Territory HT. Load range 116T, electric vehicle certified. They are quiet, and after 10k miles are wearing normally. They are on stock Lariat wheels. They are shown on sticker as all terrain, but I think the HT means highway tread. Probably real AT tires would...

Then you need way to do major rewire plus software to charge while driving. $100k if you don't charge your own labor and your pretty good with VHDL, and probably C (software like stuff).
BCCM/SOBDM will run DC to DC converter all the time? Or maybe sense if 12Vdc drops below 12.8v then fires it up. Curious to see what happens with that. Maybe never need to replace 12v battery.
