  1. Is Electrify America an oil industry psy op?

    I'll agree. The once or thrice we used EC in the Atlantic Maritime provinces this past December & January on our Newfoundland trip, EC always reliably worked.
  2. Is Electrify America an oil industry psy op?

    Sorry about that. Since their new svelte charging stations came in, they seem to work pretty reliably, almost all the time. Maybe this is somehow regional? No company that spans the continent is a true monolith...?
  3. Is Electrify America an oil industry psy op?

    Electrify America was indeed pretty bad back in 2022 - 23. I find its network much improved, even pretty good these days.
  4. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    I now wonder and hope about the updated Sync version for us with the 12-inch screens.
  5. How can I get into the truck if the physical lock is broken and the 12V battery is dead?

    This is the Houdini lock lubricant I use, per recommendation of a really good local locksmith. It's better than big box and auto shop lock lubricants... it unfroze our frozen & full of very fine Canadian road sand locks on the teardrop during our December adventures in Newfoundland Canada...
  6. Lightning Software Updates using FDRS

    Uuuuu... a new APIM, eh? yum yum yum.
  7. Strut/Shock - when do replace?

    Here are the Ford OEM 9 pages of instructions.
  8. Strut/Shock - when do replace?

    Sure. I have some Ford tech manual pages on disassembly / reassembly of the front and the rear. Unfortunately my old laptop broke but I still have the paper versions. I'll dig them up, scan and attach them tomorrow. What you need to get from the Ford dealership ahead of the job: - for the...
  9. 2025 Lightning + OEM Jack kit?

    Some folks are trained Army Armor tankers who have seen hydraulics fail and crush men. Like, that 1.5 ton cannon which looks very reliably sturdy until its hydraulics give out.
  10. Snow tire chains - Anyone used or purchased?

    Yes. I have four RUD chains. They stow behind the rear left seat back. I've used RUD chains for years on many cars. On my Lightning (OEM size tires) I use this model, cut & pasted from the RUD USA dealer: "For your tire size – 275/60R20, you would need part #2532 – Grip 4x4. For a pair...
  11. Snow Tires Are On- Excessive Rust on Axle Nut

    I change my all-season and Winter tires myself as well. The trick I've found to line up the wheel studs to the heavy wheel is to lower the jack height just enough so that the heavy wheel barely touches the ground, and then to rotate it onto the top wheel stud, while its weight is supported in...
  12. 2025 Lightning + OEM Jack kit?

    I would never trust a bottle jack while my body parts are under a heavy vehicle. Hydraulics can and do fail without warning. "It only takes one time"...
  13. Distance to destination on dash = 0kms

    Often, strange behavior like this can go away by resetting the APIM. Depending on the screen (12 inch or 15 inch screen), resetting the APIM is done by two touch screen buttons or two physical buttons and takes just seconds. I tend to do this every month or so, and on every long trip, to clear...
  14. 12v Battery Swelling

    I noticed my 2023 OEM 12V battery was swollen to a significant degree this past Fall. I drive a lot and the truck had just about 80 thousand miles this Fall. This mileage included some Utah, Nevada, SoCal and Arizona mileage this past Summer, so some hot sustained temperatures. I replaced it...
  15. Hitch brake light issue

    It's not a lot of work. The right taillight unscrews with just two (2) screws and pulls right out. It's about 10 minutes or less. I assume Your device came with a short plug & play interconnector harness for the taillight. If not, it is likely another manufacturer's interconnector harness...
  16. Replacing rear shocks, having difficulty aligning bottom bolt

    FYI - I used a transmission support screw jack to great success in lifting the bottom of the shock eye body enough to get that bolt in.
  17. 2025 Lightning + OEM Jack kit?

    I'd look on EBay.
  18. Factory front and rear height difference - why?

    I had read about that efficiency advantage as well... somewhere on some thread here.
  19. Factory front and rear height difference - why?

    I frankly like the truck look slightly raked, just as it is. Reminds me of the 1970 era Mustangs. "Leveled" = "boring" to my eyes. Now let the outraged flaming begin... :crackup:
