  1. FCSP just breaks after almost 3 years? Need help

    This is good news and a great resolution. I just had my FCSP installed and I am using it every night.
  2. I pulled a FedEx truck out of a ditch tonight

    I'm working with a local machinist and a certified welder to fabricate a method to solidly attach a removable set of F250 super duty tow loops (part # 7L1Z-17A954-AA) to the rear frame rail ends of my Lightning for exactly this reason (bolded italics above are mine). Although of course a strong...
  3. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    I sometimes do this as well. BTW the 15-inch screen I had on my former Mach E was far more intrusive at night... the XLT's 12-incher is less so. Thanks!
  4. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    So I ran the IPC calm screen last night for about 200 miles while on the job. BLUF: I like it. Just enough of the info that is useful, without the visual distraction of the two large "gear" rings. Additionally, running at night through well-lit urban and darker suburban areas, I realized that...
  5. I pulled a FedEx truck out of a ditch tonight

    Haha - my Sonny Boy lives in Louisville Kentucky and I used to take Corridor H (the future I-66 continuation) and I-79 and I-64 all the time to go bother him and drink his bourbon see him. Once I bought my now-gone Mach E, I found the best way is to avoid West Virginia and go thru Western...
  6. Virginia FOR SALE - new Ford 2023 Lightning spare wheel + tire $200 + shipping.

    Bump -- missing an OEM full-size, limited-use spare for Your Lightning? Make me an offer... it's just sitting in the shed doin' nuthin.
  7. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    Thanks! Wow... as many times as I have cycled thru these IPC screens in the past 6 months, somehow I must have glossed right over THAT setting :rolleyes:
  8. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    So I tried to turn this IPC calm screen on yesterday after seeing this post... can't figure out how to do it. I have a 2023 XLT ER 312A with the 12-inch Sync screen. I assumed the IPC screens all have common features across all the trims - maybe I'm wrong. How do I turn this IPC calm screen...
  9. Have you noticed... (lesser known features of our trucks)

    That's exactly where I stow my 4x RUD snow chains in their bag.
  10. Liking my Lightning... camping?

    There was an air fryer / frunk thread around here in the past two weeks... I'm thinking on getting an air fryer for camping after reading it. Can't remember the thread but I'm sure a search will pull it up.
  11. FCSP Installed: already noticing a difference

    Yes I completely understand. My TOU has low rates 10 p.m. - 1 a.m., then super low rates 1 a.m. to 5 a.m., and again low rate 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. I find that about 7 hours, centered between about 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., pretty much fills my truck up. Then, I have DEPARTURE PRECONDITIONING set for...
  12. FCSP Installed: already noticing a difference

    Yeah jeez I must be tired tonight... brain is a bit fried. Thanks let me fix that.
  13. FCSP Installed: already noticing a difference

    Initially, as our house had a 40-amp Grizzl-E EV "spout" I had refused to even request the FCPS, free for me as a new owner of a leftover 2023 XLT ER. Once I lived with this truck I realized just how much time the ER battery charging takes. It far exceeded our dedicated (special local power...
  14. Liking my Lightning... camping?

    We love taking this truck camping... it pulls our 1,500 pound, Colorado-made TimberLeaf Pika teardrop camper perfectly :) On state park RV sites, the truck is pretty much re-fueled by the time we have cooked breakfast, showered, and walked the dog. The boys and I store our back packs and...
  15. Screen upgrade?

    Well,, it depends on the passengers we allow in our cars :p :ROFLMAO: I am quite free with teenagers, disabled family and a few other such careless miscreants... on occasion, even a tipsy friend or two.
  16. Screen upgrade?

    To be clear, I like the 15-inch Ford higher trim screen... and simultaneusly I am not impressed with how Ford shoehorned that screen onto the dashboards. The 15-inch screen mount's floating design and sparse mount points seem like an afterthought.
  17. Screen upgrade?

    When the temptation happens it's often far stronger on the passenger side. We drivers have the steering wheel to grab, in every car. Yes, the Mach E cabin is lower and smaller so it would perhaps be more conducive. Nonetheless, I frankly do not like the mounting design of the 15-inch...
  18. Issues adding an OEM electric trailer brake controller to a 2024 Lariat ER

    I've had good luck using DeOxIt electric contacts cleaner, including on my trailer connections. It cleans and then seal-protects the metal contacts. It's available on Amazon.com
  19. Snow review - RokBlokz aftermarket mud flaps.

    Folks, I want to give a shout-out to the RokBlokz mud flaps based on their performance on my Lightning during and after the latest snowstorm. I've had a set on my Mach E Mustang - they replaced another aftermarket mud flap set on that car after the other maker's mudflaps kept popping off and...
