follow-up: the dealer found my 12V battery had low voltage and replaced the battery. This brought back my drive modes. They replaced the 12V battery under warranty. It's hard to believe a well-designed system would eat through a normal lead-acid battery in under a year.
I had an additional...
super user "Mike G" ran my VIN to get a list of the DTCs the truck is showing and what PTS says the problem might be. He said:
" Seems to indicate that the screen or the connection between the screen and the APIM behind it are causing this. Like a poor connection. The DTCs with stars next to...

There are some drive mode options for our Lightnings: Normal, Off-Road, Sport, Tow/Haul. None of them are available to my truck now.
I used to like to put it into Tow/Haul even when I wasn't towing anything. It was smoother and gave me more control.
Suddenly one time I turned the truck on and I...

Think some of these solutions might work in the future?

Oh crap! New Flash buyer here. I just found out that my Charge Station Pro can't power my house and I need to buy the extra Home Integration System that is $3,895 and can be ordered at the Sunrun website.
:sadface:
Thanks for the info evowner.
I ordered the racks. Took advantage of the Harbor Freight President's Day Weekend Sale. 15% off.
With shipping and tax the racks were only $257.59 .
I thought I should order before the price of aluminum (and everything else) went up due to the impending tariffs.
