  1. SUPER easy and SUPER cheap fix for minor tire rub on crash bars

    I know a lot of folks who are putting bigger tires on are having issues with them rubbing the crash bars. I definitely did not want to cut/remove mine, so went with 295/65s on my OEM 20s knowing it would be tight (I also have a 1" wheel spacer). Others here had said that by switching the crash...
  2. I converted my Lightning from AWD to a 4x4

    Click bait? Guilty No, I didn’t do any major driveline changes. In fact, most of what I did is very similar to what others here have done (and I thank all of you for sharing that information!!). Specific shout outs to: @digitaldad, @Quibbs , @F150ROD, @swtaylor89, @Oafy44, @dr1983, all you guys...
  3. ACTUAL amount of lift from Eibach Stage one on highest setting (and other settings)?

    I've seen everything from 2" to 3" for a max height gain (here and elsewhere on the WWW) and Eibach won't commit on a definitive answer. Mostly I'd like to know the actual height gain from the highest setting (especially on ERs). If anybody can give me real world measurements on the other...
  4. Opening the tailgate or front trunk if the 12v battery is dead?

    Day 5 with my Lightning and something occurred to me when opening the tailgate. The latch appears to be 100% electronic, ONLY (unless I'm missing something). Really, the tailgate of my TRUCK? Ditto for the front trunk. A few years back my 2013 Hybrid Kia Optima's 12v battery died. It lives...
  5. Great information regarding using a NEMA 6-50 for charging

    I did lots of searching on the forums here, as well as elsewhere on the internet regarding charging my lightning from a NEMA 6-50 outlet. I also did the same for a NEMA 10-50. I have both options in my workshop area. I found almost nothing regarding the 10-50, and what I found was not...
  6. Road Salt, and other undercarriage cleaning process

    In a previous post I reported that my new-to-me CPO Lightning had a LOT of road salt on the undercarriage. In the attached pictures you’ll see what I meant. Having lived in AZ and NM my entire life my only experience with road salt has been working on and restoring cars that have the long term...
  7. Just bought Ford CPO Lightning XLT keeps pausing charge

    WOW, this got LOOOONG, sorry! I bought the truck from a dealer 700 miles from Albuquerque sight unseen. I figured/hoped that CPO, clean Car Fax and still having 18 months and 16K miles of warranty would be enough of a safety net... I knew the truck was from Michigan, so the evidence of some...
  8. Max Tow brake components for a LIGHTNING are the same as non-Max Tow

    I've tried to find a DEFINITIVE answer to the question: "Is there any difference in the Max Tow rear axle from non-Max Tow." I THOUGHT the answer was "NO," the ONLY difference is the second cooling unit. end of discussion, and I moved on... BUT I keep seeing things like certain size wheels...
  9. Charging rate at 50KW ?

    I feel like this is a stupid question (and yes I do believe there are such things), but I've searched the forums and can't find an answer and if its a simple may problem, I haven't figured it out. Soooo: If my only "fast" charging option until I get my home charging set up is "120A, 50KW, 500V"...
  10. What's the verdict on purchasing a "buyback" lightning (from those that have done so)?

    I've seen a few posts scattered about regarding purchasing the "buybacks" and it seems that most people who have done so are very happy with what they got. I've seen a lot of negative posts regarding doing this, but they all seem to be from people who have no personal experience with purchasing...
  11. Cooling system monitoring and mods

    New member and reformed "lurker" here. It doesn't look like there is a specific place for cooling system questions so I'm posting it here. If this is not the appropriate place to do so, please redirect me. I know that as far as OEM goes that getting the 2nd compressor (Max Tow option) is the...
