Much of the time, the (legal transmission) tints I had installed on my previous truck, Tundra, looked great and were quite functional in my overly sunny and hot part of the country. But only during the day. At night, the rear view mirrors were badly obscured through the tinted windows...
Thanks to this thread am going to explore the cable pass through route at the wheel well as shown in pic, to see if the path is conveniently accessible. (Was totally unaware of such a possibility.). If it is, will begin carrying a 12 gauge extension cable and piece of rolled up rubber mat to...
This union worker (and recent to the forum member) will have to respectfully take exception to this statement.
We union members have an ever increasing amount of skin in the game, with accumulating health insurance and retirement benefits, and the longer we are in, the more we value that...
Suggest watching YouTube videos about using the EG4 Charge-verter to route output from the 240v Pro-Power port into the home. This requires a smart all in one inverter, some 48v batteries, and a house input through a transfer switch, or to the main panel with a panel lock out. (This is to...
The Ford service representative at the the drop off point of Dealership service said to me they had "checked, tightened and torqued the nuts". "No new parts necessary", he said. Maybe accurate as to exactly what they did, maybe not. Maybe accurate as to the dictum of the recall, which may...
Hopping in here at this late date to share, as I'm about to have a SmartCap installed. (Just found this thread.)
Met the SmartCap Rep yesterday at the retail facility where it will be coming from. (The retailer himself has a SmartCap on his Silverado, which is reassuring, and so also was...
Does anyone have a link to the above mentioned ARE instructions for 3rd brake light on Lightning? (Trying to find.) Aim to provide a link that RSI Smartcap dealer can follow to install. They have not done this before. (Which is a bit scary....)
Got the Safety Recall Notice in the mail last week, made a service appointment, took the 2024 Flash to the dealership yesterday 6/17/25. Was there roughly 3 hours (unsure of the status) while they inspected and reportedly tightened the nuts. No additional parts needed. Was told I was done...
As for the sunroof leak issue: I cannot speak directly to the Lightning, but I have experienced this leakage with a different vehicle, and I have changed out the entire assembly myself, so I've seen the guts. I presume they all mostly work the same. There is a rectangular reservoir for water...
If the dealership you bought this from knew this was a Ford buyback, legally a lemon, and did not disclose this information, one might expect they are subject to legal consequences. (Ford may be simultaneously writing this vehicle off as a total loss elsewhere.) That is about as dishonest...
Somebody mentioned the GM mid gate. I do salivate over the possibilities of that. But, alas, along with the other compromises that have to be made for the monster battery, the mid-gate is only available on very top level trims, not across the EV truck lineup. Only on the tiers that come in...
Just brought home a new Lightning Flash. Chosen over higher Lightning trim levels and over the GM competition. Here was my process/ reason for the choice of Flash:
For a full size truck that functions as a truck, Rivian and CT are out. Rivian bed too small. Tesla out regardless due to...
Hi, I think my pics pretty much repeat the results of the first poster on P1, Evlar77. I added similar angles, plus a couple closer, to highlight that the stitching deliberately matches/ echoes the native decor. In early use, am finding they remain in place and do not slide around on my Flash...
I ordered and installed the black and lighter grey as pictured early in this original poster's thread. Pretty great match and upgrade to 2024 OEM Lightning Flash mostly monotone gray cloth interior. Seems designed exactly for this application. Removed nothing original, just slipped these...
Have installed the set cited in this thread and first impressions are, they fit great. Not at all difficult to install by following the product video. Unfamiliar person might not even realize they are seat covers. The stitching of them does nicely echo what appears on the Flash dashboard...
Gotcha. Hope I never have to replace a tail light assembly, but am getting a feel for things here. And for DeePagne, no, on a Toyota (am coming from a Tundra) the whole headlight assembly is aftermarket less than $100 and maybe $250 OEM, and so is a whole tail light assembly. A couple...
Just brought a new Lightning home and am a little sick to my stomach as I begin to understand what I've just opted myself into. Great to mostly sidestep that $5K scam, I mean bill. All that said, does the EBay replacement assembly come with its own sensors/ electronics? Was the successful...
Ordering a set of these based (completely) on this recommendation. Had some poorly fitting but functionally protective seat covers on prior vehicles and happily, these look far better fitting and more custom. Also going into a (just arrived) new, cloth interior Flash. Thanks for posting.
