  1. Upgrade just for the bigger battery?

    Sell the truck on your own. i was in a similar situation last year with a 3 month old Pro. wanted the flash with the ER. several dealers were at 35k on a 55 msrp Pro. sold it on my own for 45k, and was able to forward the 0 down 0% to the new buyer, but it took 5 weeks and i needed to have a...
  2. How to find your perfect Lightning (used)?

    You mentioned the truck will live on your farm. Don't worry about the blue cruise. Its pretty useless as the normal adative cruise control with lane centering is pretty much all you're getting , and it's free. As far as the 9.6 pro power, sounds like you need it as back up power or...
  3. Feedback on appropriate expectations for a Dealer

    The selling dealer that I'm not referring too has the parts. They offered to come out to me to do the work, problem is I don't have a 9-5 job in the same location. I could set aside 1 day when I know where ill be and have it done there. Difference is 1 dealer is stocked and wants to do the...
  4. Feedback on appropriate expectations for a Dealer

    I stopped by the other day at a local dealer for the ball joint nut recall. Not only do they not have the parts, but they would need to look at it before they can order anything.. I'm under the impression if the nuts torque out properly, all they do is replace the Nuts. If the Nuts are loose or...
  5. How to stop horn beep with walk away locks.

    Unfortunately I don't have folding mirrors on my Flash. But I do tend to fold in the driver's side when parked on the street. As far as a notification on Ford pass, does it show up and show the state of the door? There are times I just double check by asking it too lock. But is there a way...
  6. HOT AC and Battery temp. No fans

    Sounds like you bought them at South Bay Ford, 5 minutes from LAX. What line of work are you using them for? Would be ironic if you're an Hvac contractor? Sounds like you nailed it with the.fan diagnosis. 40 amp fuse is a heck of a fan. Probably 1/2 hp. Rick
  7. How to stop horn beep with walk away locks.

    That's very helpful but why would you want too? There are times when wal doesn't work and now you have no notification that it's locked. For me it's critical as the entire truck is a work truck.. Rick
  8. What did you get on Prime Day? Let’s share!

    Another copper press tool for plumbing. Softball First baseman's glove because it was a great deal. A 6 piece set of Annular cutters from 1''- 2'' for my magnetic drill press. If you never used or heard of a magnetic drill press, look it up. drills steel in place and drill like it's butter...
  9. Phone as a key update required

    Correct. I even questioned her. But she had my vin and looked it up. I'm not talking a dealer, I'm talking about Ford's BEV team. What's amazing is I've called them twice now about BC1.4 with no luck other than it's a roll out by Vin #s , yet they are more than willing to help with PAAK when I...
  10. Phone as a key update required

    I know that, but the Ford CS rep I spoke to months after my purchase actually sent me the instructions on how to program it. She had my model and vin number too. Rick
  11. Phone as a key update required

    Has anyone ever had PAAK work on 24 Flash? Ford actually sent me instructions even though I know the Flash didn't have it from the get go. Rick
  12. BC 1.5 Hardware Requirements

    Not paying full price for stale milk and day old bread. Especially when there is fresh milk in the markets coolers for the same price they're selling stale milk for. Same applies to day old bread. The problem is Ford is not allowing us to buy the fresh milk and bread. Maybe they should start...
  13. HV battery junction box?

    How long ago did you purchase the used 2022 lightning. Did the selling dealer give you any kind of extended warranty? Did you pull up a carfax report on it to see it's track record? Who knows why they sold the truck? But there should be some form of history with it. Rick
  14. Bluecruise 1.5 - automated lane changes - MotorTrend test drive

    Ford is selling stale milk for the same price as fresh milk. Imagine all those 24 lightnings that had a $2100.00 price on the sticker for 3 years of BC and 2022's are updated to 1.4 BC for free.. When i spoke to Ford technology last week ,they told me that updates are done in batches. So even...
  15. 7,600 Miles, 7 National Parks, 1 Spruce Goose with my F-150 Lightning

    1984 our plumbing graduation was held in the hanger of the Spruce Goose when it was in Long Beach, Calif.. Since the union was tight with the people that ran the display. We actually got to board the goose and walk around inside. Not sure if they allow that anymore. Rick
  16. Step on it - hard acceleration is good for your battery health

    I'll make sure to copy and paste the article so when I get pulled over I can share it with the cop. Out here there's lots of cops that drive BEV. Mainly Teslas. I volunteer weekly at our station. There is 1 other lightning and a hummer, not to mention dozens of Teslas.. Rick
  17. Ford Lightning Pro Power Onboard failure on the last weld of the project

    I don't blame you. As a plumber i too purchased my first pro and my Flash with the proposer option just for this scenario. I even have a new trailer welder generator that I bought before the lightning. Good luck, keep us posted. Rick
  18. PreCollision Assist

    My flash has engaged multiple times when in reverse and pulling out of the driveway or parking with garbage cans on the street. It will definitely stop you in it's path. Forward has warned me on winding streets. But has never engaged. It picks up parked cars that are in front, but doesn't know...
  19. Inside The F-150 Lightning Factory! Full Tour Of The Ford Rouge Electric Vehicle Center

    I was invited to the Austin Tesla Factory when they released the Cybertruck Nov 30 2023. You can eat off the floor. That night there was an afterparty at a large restaurant, open to everyone. Let's just say I got the Booby prize, actually just a photo with the Booby prize. Wanna be...
  20. Charging process has a mind of its own

    Mine has a mind of its own. Last night I plugged in and showed that it will be at 95% at 3:42 am. This morning it stopped at 85%. So I unplugged it and restarted it.. Seems like when the battery is below 50%, I never get a 95% charge without it stopping.. I have a juice box that is no...
