https://obdb.community/ https://github.com/OBDb Looks like an interesting project! I know we have a variety of these via the premium apps and tools (e.g. Forscan), but having them as open source would enable more tools and apps. I have not looked into what it takes to contribute but I will be...

Loving the work done across the community through Livingitup's spreadsheets, Forscan, and the AB files I spend (too much) time digging into different configurations. That said, the bouncing back and forth is very time consuming and viewing it is, well, rough. To that end I spent last night and...

Following up on my previous post about deconstructing PIDs from Forscan and CarScanner, I’ve been using a long-term monitoring setup to see how my Lightning Pro ER actually behaves under the hood. The Setup: Hardware: An old phone permanently mounted in the cubby. Software: Torque Pro...

I’ve been working on getting better data visibility for my F-150 Lightning. While FORScan and Car Scanner are the gold standards for seeing what’s going on, they are not always the most convenient tool for long-term logging or custom dashboards. I wanted to move that high-level data into Torque...

To be honest I'm not sure which i wanted more, the Raptor grill or the Lightbar, either way it was easier to do both at the same time. Fabbed up a camera mount at the same time. Carbon Fiber ASA Once I get more magnets the pockets in the grill will be filled (and customizable)

The Raptor grill seemed like a great empty canvas. 3d printed magnetic "chicklets". Each chicklet can be removed and swapped with a different color. Still a work in progress...

The lightnings lights are fantastic, but being so bring, and especially with glare free, I'm always looking for ways to reduce glare to oncoming drivers. Functionally the DRLs (the white squares inside rhe headlight) provide zero useful lighting when it comes to driving a night, however they do...

For anyone considering the Vgate vLinker MS, it's proving to be a solid device for both general OBD-II monitoring (using Torque/Car Scanner) and for use with FORScan. Its also less than half the price of the Obdlink MX. ✅ Mobile App Use (Torque/Car Scanner) Connects easily via Bluetooth. Fast...

After seeing an estimated range of over 350 miles while charging to 100% I decided to see if the GOM ever settles down to a reasonable estimate. Readings were taken every 5% of battery consumed. This was mostly 55-60 mph county roads, two longer drives and then some running around so trip...

For those that have run your battery down (and logged it) what was your energy remaining? . In 20,000 miles i have not yet ran the battery down below 18% or so and seeing posts of the battery going flat suddenly when below 10% concerned me. I finally had a chance to run it down low, making it...

Edit 9-15-25: Updated lists. Some conflicts with headers and updates that I am trying to iron out. The "trimmed" list appears to be working fully for me as of now. As a long-time Torque app user (and fan), I’m starting a new thread to centralize and streamline the discussion around PID...

Today’s adventure involved my Lightning, a U-Haul car hauler, and a 40-year-old Oldsmobile that’s been sitting so long it’s now more raccoon habitat than car. It came complete with a small block engine, four flat tires, and a generous coating of nature’s graffiti. But hey, the price was right...

Occasionally there is the feeling that lane keeping is pulling my truck to the inside of a corner. It isn't lane keeping, it only happens if the inside tire is near the inside line and it pulls the truck INTO the line, into the corner. It's very disconcerting, anyone know what this is? BTW, I...

From Ford. I believe this from an older truck, maybe 2008, but the current trucks should be the same.

Sadly I'm victim to the "Stop Safely Now" issue. Red truck icon with an exclamation point and a red battery icon. Disconnected the 12v, no change Tried restarting a few times, no luck. Jumper cables on the way. I did 2 1 hour trips today AND charged so the 12v should not be dead. Yes the 12v...

For those who monitor your car regularly, what temp do you see the battery warmed to when preconditioning for DCFC?

I was tired of rolling the dirty cable up every day so I figured I would fix that. Unfortunately parking does vary in the garage so a simple "curtain rod" style system was less than desired. Instead using Home Depot I hacked together a 14 foot, almost a boom arm, system instead. It's 80%...

Quite a few internet searches later I have still failed to find a vinyl wrap product that is a very close match to Oxford white. My Google fu is as good as my ability to find the ketchup in the fridge, so if anyone can find thread or knows of a vinyl that matches I would love to hear it.

Before anyone says "the app", I cannot use my phone where I work. Its a balmy 1F outside today and it would be great to start the truck before I walk out of the building. I have yet to find a desktop site I can initiate a remote start, or even a FOB option to at least warm it up on my walk...

Hey everyone, we had a great conversation about heater usage the other day, so I thought I’d share my latest findings with you all. Background: I’m conducting some specific tests to assess the impact of tire pressure on efficiency (more on that later), and tracking heater usage is a key part...
