Sure... ruin my day. :angel: If my business depended on the PPO working, I would be really disappointed when it does not, when running well inside its rating.
Make sure to read his latest update, not all doom and gloom

Update.
I did end up allowing Ford to buy back my Ford Lightning. The story doesn't end there. I purchased a new 2025 F150 Powerboost with the 7.2 KW propower option. Surprise surprise, the same issue exists on the powerboost with the 220 v 30 amp outlet while welding.
I was able to continue talking to my dealer and the Ford engineering team because they were still trying to find a fix for this issue.

This last week I received a call from Ford wanting to schedule a beta software update in my vehicle. The update is supposed to adjust the paramiters so it's not so touchy to voltage spikes. I'm supposed to report back to see if the update helped the issue.

I just got done welding aproimatily 20 welding rods one after the other. I was purposefully trying to stick the rod and spike the machine. It worked flawlessly. It's still too soon to say its fixed but its a good sign. Before the update it would have shut down on me 3 times in the same duration. Good job Ford!
