Similar boat, also a powerboost, which I wonder if that’s somehow related since most failed 1.7.1 seem to be a powerboost. My plan is to try the mongoose route, and if I’m feeling saucy I’ll record the process for public consumption via the YouTubes.

I got my truck back from the dealer recently to do the heat shield recall and mentioned the “stuck” OTA updates. When they gave the car back they said Ford “did not recommend action at this time,” so that implied they knew of the problem but were not ready to send out the fix, which mirrors what...

Good bit from Wilmington, closer to Charlotte.

I'm in the same boat. Truck at the dealership now for the heat shield recall and I asked them to look at the "disabled" updates as well. I got the BC email while the truck was at the dealer so was somewhat hoping they'd fixed something and that triggered the email but I guess it was just...

I got that a couple weeks ago as well, and it doesn't seem to have even attempted the update again since. I tried changing the auto-update date to force it to update the next morning to no avail. As best as I can tell, that entire "Updates" screen in the Sync system is completely and utterly...

If you could do another version made from a beer coozie and lead shot then you could have Blue Cooze!

As a former Bolt owner I can confirm that yes, the cells in the Bolt pack had a manufacturing flaw that could cause what I believe they call "thermal runaway." GM's initial mitigation was to limit charging since there seemed to be some correlation between too high a charge and thermal runaway...

The EV credit really is a bit of a “rich mans” credit (coming from someone the govt defines as “rich” which seems to be any person or family making more than $100K. My high-minded side is opposed, but my practical side is tired of everyone else getting gov’t cheese and just wants a piece of the...

You and me both! I’m only an hour away, early reservation holder, etc. I did just buy a powerboost since my previous car was retired earlier than planned, so I’ll likely sit on my reservation a bit and see how things look after production, so I’ll assume Ford is trying to help me curb my...

I'm FINALLY mostly done with my radio install, aside from adding an external speaker and maybe moving the location of my Yaesu screen (not sure I'm ready to give up the cupholder) and trying to find a better mount for my mics. I'm hoping one of the companies that makes a mount above the screen...

It miraculously reappeared about 48 hours later.

The benefit to the antenna (so I’m told) is that it whacks the top of low parking garages first, and let’s you know to mash the brake before you turn your $89K truck into a convertible!

Looks like, to quote the great philosopher/poet P Diddy, this was “all about the Benjamin’s:” https://insideevs.com/news/524551/infrastructure-bill-funding-tesla-superchargers/

I have FordPass on my iPhone and yesterday it seems the lock, unlock, and start options all disappeared from the app. Possibly unrelated, but I also received a notice yesterday that the 1.6 “Power Up” OTA update had been installed. I’ve tried closing and opening the app a couple times to no...

One of the positives from COVID is that my wife told me that hand sanitizer is magical against pine sap. I’ve put my hand on a pine a few times and no soap gets it off, but hand San is magical. I think that stuff is mostly alcohol so trying rubbing alcohol might just do the trick.

Exactly! I’ve had them in various cars over my 11-year dad career and found some work/fit better than others, so hoping someone has found one that’s particularly suited to the F-150.

I swear I saw a thread about those covers that you put under carseats to prevent the leather from getting goofed up, and prevent mashed cheerios, Swedish Fish, and apple sauce from turning into a permanent addition to your leather, but my searching doesn’t find it. Anyone have a cover they put...

Just wanted to add to the chorus of folks saying this thread is super helpful. My F-150 PB is my first truck, and part of my multi-phase master plan to get a trailer one of these days. I've talked the wife into renting one and going camping with the 3 kids (previously we were always tent...

I assume you have two so you can get stereo :cool:

Got my antennas installed (2m/70cm on the left, GMRS on the right). I’d like to go to a compactenna “phantom” for ham since I’m hitting trees occasionally even with the short whip. I have the midland GMRS radio installed in a temporary setup, still waiting for a fuse block and cable to install...
