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...

So the Pro version has a good ol’ “use my HAND” to open the tailgate design? I alternated between the XLT and the Pro trim level for quite a while. Had I known about this tailgate technology, that would’ve been another point for Pro. It gives me hope that I might be able to retrofit the...

I had seen the manual release for the trunk, (I figured it was either that or for the tailgate) but after a little messing with it didn't get any result (I didn't want to get too aggressive and break anything), and I didn't feel like taking a screen-time deep-dive while sitting in the truck to...

So just to clarify: No concerns charging my Lightning off of the decades old outlet that requires an adapter to mate to the Lightning, but I should beware of the brand new charger that came with and was designed specifically for the vehicle (even when using a "correct" NEMA 14-50)!!? THAT is...

Thanks for that one as well. So now I have a new problem... but one I should have anticipated. Choosing a product! Its a good, or better, problem to have!! I'm confident that any of the recommended products will be a much better option than doing nothing. Thanks to everyone for sharing this...

Thanks! That looks like another great product with a slightly different approach. I like that it actually eliminates rust (not just prevents more) and is specifically indicated for electrical components (I think my Lightning has some of those!!)

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...

I understand the concept of a “plain vanilla” subpanel. My current situation is that, both panels are “fed by another panel” The original “main panel” at the house feeds grid power to the shop. The shop receives the solar power and feeds that to the house (and grid). Both have meters...

Yes, I was referring to get the maximum capability of the FPC, 30A. Thanks for revisiting the 10-50 piece. My shop has a panel that I'm not sure if I should regard as a subpanel or not. It has a 90A line going to it from the main panel (Grid source) at the house, but it is the primary panel...

I just updated my profile. I've had the truck 5 days now. Good observation about the AI that I should of caught (got tired of reading about the Tesla adapter!). I still think that the information and source is reliable. I've noticed that a LOT of people are getting very lazy and letting AI...

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...

THANKS!! I think that is precisely the sort of thing I'm looking for (without knowing it). I like the "fogging" aspect as well as I think that will be much more likely get to places I can't see than any other approach. Do the products come with what you need to "fog" or is this another...

Grrrr, not happy about THAT observation! I doubt paint will help that either. I appreciate others sharing their experience with these rusted areas. I figured this truck was probably ahead of others due to its exposure etc., but clearly these parts will look like this sooner of later...

I notice there is still a dusty "film" on the non-painted parts (mostly aluminum I guess). Any recommendations from you folks in the "rust belt" for neutralizing the salt that lingers? I've seen products advertised, but don't know which ones, if any, are worth the trouble. I know from...

I did the 12volt area yesterday as well. Here’s what it looked like under the front trunk area (I can’t embrace the “frunk” term) when I removed the liner today. And then after washing.

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...

Regarding the "road salt": I decided to tackle this yesterday, so got about $5 in quarters with the intent to head to the carwash. Then I decided to hit it with my own old pressure washer (that I cannot add soap etc. too anymore) too get rid of the worst of it first. I spent 7hrs under the...

Thanks for the heads-up on the Charging app/infotainment. I'll go see if I can find that later today. I expected to have more information during the charging process than what I could see on the FordPass (miles of range, SOC, and projected time to 80%, 90% or 100%) but didn't know where to find...

Good to know, and kind of what I thought at the beginning of the "adventure," but to date, didn't get figured out One of the big "user error" things was that I still can't use the "Blue Oval" app. It asks for "yourCDSID"@ford.com" and a password. I don't THINK this got set up when I was at...

Definitely getting a Tesla adapter ASAP! I think there was only about two points along the way where this would have made a difference, but that would have made a pretty big difference in route/time usage.
