  1. F-150 Lightning AC fully discharged at 40k miles – paid out of pocket, is this normal under Ford Protect?

    Clearly there's a leak and the fact that they weren't willing to do what it takes to find it shouldn't be your problem. If they want to take the easy way out, at the very least you shouldn't have to pay for the diagnostic labor since they didn't finish the job.
  2. F-150 Lightning AC fully discharged at 40k miles – paid out of pocket, is this normal under Ford Protect?

    There's absolutely a leak! You should push back on this. Ask the Service Manager exactly how the refrigerant escaped without a leak. There are only two possibilities: 1. It wasn't filled at the factory or 2. The system isn't fully sealed. Since the AC worked at one time, the system must have...
  3. What’s your next BEV Pickup?

    Like Weatherman, I have a SLATE reservation. I'm still tinkering with the exact configuration but it will be something like this:
  4. I think this might be goodbye

    Not really all that many critical parts are shared actually. None of the drivetrain and probably very few suspension parts. They share some Interior and exterior parts, but those aren't critical. In theory, Ford should have critical parts available. But in practice, I expect part shortages...
  5. I think this might be goodbye

    After my Lightning was T-boned and totaled last Summer, I was really conflicted about whether to get another one. I had a module crap out on me and even though it eventually got fixed, I found that I had trust issues afterwards and didn't enjoyed driving it as much. I also saw the writing on...
  6. SUCCESS: Battery Pack MODULE Replacement: '22 Pro SR @ 62,000 miles

    Sorry about your truck issue. At least it didn't "break down" on you! :wink:
  7. WSJ: Ford Considers Scrapping Electric Version of F-150 Truck

    Couldn't agree more. Ford's marketing for the Lightning should a case study in college marketing courses on how NOT to do it! I've never seen a product as great as the Lightning mis-marketed so badly. I wonder where the Lightning would be had it been marketed by the team at Apple. 🤔
  8. WSJ: Ford Considers Scrapping Electric Version of F-150 Truck

    The only opinion I have about the WSJ is that it is more “prestigious” than the National Enquirer. 30+ Pulitzer Prizes vs 0. I’m very open to hearing what you know about this topic. Seriously. If you know something factual that refutes the WSJ story that nobody else knows about, please share.
  9. WSJ: Ford Considers Scrapping Electric Version of F-150 Truck

    Attacking the WSJ as not a credible source doesn't make the story less true. Would you consider Car & Driver and Motortrend as sources with "0 ZERO Integrity" too? They've also echoed the WSJ story. I think most people would count them as "prestigious" automotive new sources. You may not...
  10. What is your truck's nickname?

    "T-Bone" :cry: He's now an organ donor...
  11. Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

    I suggest booking your service appointment now because Christmas that year is on the following Monday and the service dept will probably be closed from Saturday til Tuesday. You might also consider reserving a rental car now since parts will likely take a while to arrive due to the holidays and...
  12. Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

    Reminds me of the George Carlin bit about when people say that somebody died suddenly; "Everyone dies 'suddenly'--You're alive, you're alive, you're alive....You're dead." BTW, I've never been "gruntled" but I have been "whelmed" :)
  13. Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

    Probably just a case of "driver error" /s
  14. Truck Broke Down Unexpectedly - I am frustrated and sad

    Just curious what “driver error” you think might be involved here?
  15. 1 Pedal Error and Front Power Train Error

    Really? Almost everyone? :unsure:
  16. 2026 F-150 Lightning STX Model Introduced. Replaces the XLT

    What's the old saying?....LipSTX on a pig?
  17. Please read if u get in a automobile wreck with your lightning

    After being T-boned in June, I respectfully disagree. Knowing the many challenges and delays even with "routine" warranty issues with the Lightning, there was no way I was going to have them attempt to repair my wrecked Lightning! The OP's truck looks as bad or worse than mine (my airbags...
  18. Asking for advice on a pull through layout.

    @Jeis: First off, I applaud your determination to make this happen! I'm sure many locals and other BEV travelers will benefit from your initiative. If I'm understanding this correctly, the question isn't what category of charger to install. Based on cost and other limiting factors, they're...
