Awesome, yea this is good news if just the config needs fixed. I'd say still someone should create a new thread with the specifics and fix if they can it would greatly appreciated by many.

Looks like this problem might eventually affect us all, so indeed let's start a new thread titled: DIY: Installing Passive Entry To A Lightning - 2025 Firmware Fix Whoever's is broken currently from the frunk update and can use FORScan to identify their current (the new broken) BCM firmware...

Great questions. Regardless of how Ford reacts to Charge While Driving they will NOT do anything to thwart it with programming. Any changes like that would involve multiple modules across multiple vendors and the risk of side effects for the general truck population would be huge. They...

APIM changes are just for options on the infotainment system. There is no "let it process" once configs are changed, wrote (less than a second) you reboot the module and it's done.

I have not. Awesome, thx

You'll be happy to know I've already made provisions for valve control to add a heat exchanger to utilize the waste heat from the generator's exhaust. This will allow people to get all the generator's electrical power and not waste any of the precious electricity on heat. I just haven't needed...

Ahhhh yes I remember that bracket. It's been a while.

Wow, since you wrote a novel and you seem to be a data nerd like most engineers I'll match you're intensity. You want data? You're about to get it from Martin, he's a test engineer and he swims in data every day. You want an install video, I think Martin is going to release that, he...

I used to think differently about all this, OEM all the way, but I've changed my opinion. You should totally go least path of resistance. Get 4 lever nut splices and snip the wires a few inches from the IPMA and run your own 4 wire harness out to the CCM at the bumper. You won't need to...

The inverter gens are night and day from the open frame.

Martin is the business guy, he is working on branding as we speak and his first videos will be coming out in a few weeks. I love the battery idea, but if you can't put at least 20kWhr in there (3hrs of 7kW extending) I'm not sure it is worth it. I've tested this thousands of miles at 7kw and...

We aim to make it 100% plug and Play. So, if you had any concerns like that you could unplug and uninstall it before taking your truck in. Also, I started playing with this 20kmi ago in the shop and I have put both the truck and on-board charger through development hell. I have caused every...

These are great graphs, thank you for posting these. Regarding warranty: This system if used correctly to supplement energy while driving actually only positively affects battery health. It essentially offsets motor draw and raises efficiency; a virtual efficiency I've been calling it. As...

This is absolutely great. I have fought this fight both ways. Living in Oklahoma, formerly the oil capital of the world. But at EV promotion events, I get shit from the EV community. Here's how I combat that. If this enables people to own a Lightning when they may not otherwise because of...

12-In screen works fine. I use it all the time in my SR XLT.

Valid comments duly noted Rick, thanks.

Believe me, I've spent many nights laying in bed ballparking all these numbers in my head. I don't see anything majorly off about your numbers at first glance. It is certainly a thing you'd only do If your use case nd circumstances fit the need. Or your range anxiety is too high. Even if 1%...

This is a great point, you are correct.

The cost per kWhr generated has been around 35c/kWhr with midwest gas prices around $3/gal. Martin will cover all this in great detail next week.

Yep, stuff like this requires common sense and risk analysis by the end user. It's no different than installing CommaAI on a vehicle, or hanging a weight on the steering wheel so you can eat a sandwich while your vehicle drives, or eliminating your PACM/PAWS. This is why we're simply making a...
