  1. Xmas lightning

    Hopefully 5.0 will have some season cheer as they are just Christmas lights.... but I do recall Red lights to the rear and Amber up front, and No BLUE lights, they are reserved for emergency vehicles only. At least that is what the officer told me, many years ago. Thankfully it was just a fix it...
  2. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    There seems to be a lot of confusion as to what part number to buy and where to buy it. following this thread I purchased a LX6Z-7P155-U from autopart_top on ebay I paid $67.44 back in Sept and while I'm not sure it's a 100% Ford part, it fits perfectly and is motorized and has lightning as...
  3. Stick to Rotary Shift Knob Conversion w/ 3D Printed Rotary Shifter Holder

    I finally did it... I bought this a while back. Still undecided if I will keep it or switch back. Maybe it will grow on me. Took less than 5 minutes to install, trick was I didn't remove any panels, just lifted the panels as needed, made for a quick install. It is motorized from eBAY, though...
  4. Moonroof Mod: Fixed the bad BO smell issue

    Yes I did ceramic on all of my cars. I'd really like to tint the sunroof so it it more usable. What shade did you go with?
  5. Moonroof Mod: Fixed the bad BO smell issue

    I wanted to tint my sunroof but there were too many horror stories of the tint causing the glass to shatter because of heat. Our sunroofs are not nearly dark enough, they are more of a moon roof cause you really can't use them in the SUN. shattered moonroof
  6. BlueCruise subscription question - ever any discounts offered?

    I caved and paid $495 ($41.25 month). I wish I could disable or ease up on the nag screens. It's way more sensative than the Tesla. 2024 Lariat
  7. Tuning a Lightning

    Found this... Tap Plastics 4x8 sheet $86 It's a rubber like product.
  8. Tuning a Lightning

    My Tesla allows me to slide a slider on the screen to go from AWD to RWD or FWD, It also has a Drift Mode. (Never even used it). Not asking Ford to do this same... but love the thinking outside the box. If you have ever looked underneath the Lightning? It seems that someone could sell a cheap...
  9. Reverse Sound

    $5 in parts if you want to DIY... It's just a 4 ohm resistor to replace the speaker.
  10. Using existing cameras as dashcams

    Looks like a Ford Branded dashcam. Yes the Lightning camera recording/security is just another missed oportunity on Ford's part. I just looked up that device it's a 1080p camera using a Sony Sensor. Pretty much.... 2011 technology. 4k dashcam technology has been here since 2018 and 8k is here...
  11. Redtiger F17 Elite - Installation and Review

    The Quality of this device is amazing... But the cheaper version. ($85 on sale when I bought it 2 weeks ago, now $129) only comes with just a 32G memory card. I just ordered a 256G card ($24) after finding out the 32G card recorded approx 4 hours of video front (3840x2160) and rear...
  12. Questions on Lightning Quirks

    Yes government-backed requirement for all new cars to have a Rear Occupant Alert (ROA) system
  13. Questions on Lightning Quirks

    1. I would say yes... except I don't have to do this from either side in the front seats. But I will take a look. Thank You. 3. I never have my keys the are at home. I only use my phone. So I either leave my phone in the truck with my passengers, or when I walk away it locks and the motion...
  14. Questions on Lightning Quirks

    A few things that I can't figure out... hopefully you folks have answers: 1. the rear doors have to pull the door handle 2x to exit the truck.... At first I thought my passengers were crazy. but nope it's a thing. Can I turn that off? 2. Wireless carplay and blutooth don't mix. It seems I can...
  15. Redtiger F17 Elite - Installation and Review

    Thank you for the great review. I just grabbed the Redtiger F7NP (Same camera just lacking the interior cam for $85 on sale. Oddly the LED screen is larger on the cheaper model. Sad that our truck with all of the factory camera's don't interface to the Ford app, or get recorded to give us a...
  16. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    Same graph by usage... Bill calculations are not straight forward... First 1000 kWh is at a different rate. Then there are transmission charges. Graphs are from my provider: Net Metering: When you’re enrolled in our Net Metering program, your bill is calculated using a bidirectional meter...
  17. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    To fully take advantage of an EV... you should also invest in Solar. My suggestion: If you buy a "System" know exactly what you are paying for. (My system would have cost me more than 3x what I spent if I had someone else do it). If you are handy you can install a system yourself. Grid Tied...
  18. My home electric bill has basically doubled in the past 4 months! WTF is going on?

    Can you do Solar? Seriously... I finally did it and couldn't be happier. My $400-450 has been $13 (meter charge) ever since and I charge my Tesla and my Truck. If your handy you can do it yourself and save $$$$. I also did a battery for my house as well, no more running a generator when the...
  19. Eibach Pro-Kit installed on 2024 Lightning Flash

    I want to do the same.... but with the lifted version. I HATE the floating feeling the truck has. I'd love to find someone that has down this and get a test ride before I pull the trigger on a $1300 purchase. There are ZERO reviews of the lifted PRO-TRUCK-LIFT Stage 1 that I can find. Also...
  20. Installed the EIBACH PRO-TRUCK-LIFT Stage 1 on my 2023 Ford F-150 Lightning Platinum

    How is the ride quality? I've seen so many bad reviews and am on the fence wether to do this kit or just hockey puck the front. I HATE the high speed float. Did that go away?
