I know you're in school now, but for higher education a lot more employers are footing the bill, or are at least helping. I had my master's 95% covered through my utility employer. My first utility company paid monthly payments on my undergrad as well. Benefits can go a long way too...

I made some changes for the unreal sync theme and I was working on getting the trip tiles added to the sync screen as I have a 21' Job 1. Anyone else have my view on the rear cameras at speed? It's possible that I had this before and didn't notice before I made those recent changes.

I had one last year that kept dropping out on the driver front side for several months. It wasn't a specific tire and had to do with the body side sensor. The TSB was just coming out and the dealer said it was interference from my drive cam or phone. They suggested to disconnect everything...

Mine doesn't have it in that spot. I'm on 4.2.4 but made some forscan changes.

Does anyone know the difference between the workshop manual/service manual on Motorcraft, versus the one on Factory Manuals? For the Motorcraft workshop manual and wiring diagrams can you download the manual, or is it strictly web based that requires an active subscription to view? Thanks!

Hi Bruce, If you were doing this again, would you go with the Steeda first, or stick with the RAS? I'd like to go with both eventually but trying to decide which one to purchase first and spread out the $1,000. I have the PB with 5.5' bed and don't tow much or rarely carry over 1,000 pounds...

I don't know if the truck can tell WiFi from Hotspot WiFi (showing my tech skills) but I've hot spotted my phone and had OTA 1.7.1 download 3.58 gigs over my phone's cell network. I manually applied the update when I was in an area with strong cell service. After a few more updates I put a...

Maybe there is a default timeout glitch after xx hours that causes the truck to run continuously? Does anyone have first hand experience of running a PB in generator mode continuously over 24 hours?

I second the Peragon. It leaks a little bit but only from rain, not a car wash. I haven't taken the time to crawl under and search for leaks yet. I like the security of the dual locks and that I can throw on a roof box or bed racks. I have the Adarac Contour racks and they're awesome. I...

OTAs don't seem to be completely backwards, at least for the folks behind. I've been getting updates via OTA every few days from 2.6, to 2.7.1, Recall 22S17, and now 2.7.3 (skipped 2.7.2 or it was rolled into Recall 22S17). I keep auto updates off until I can see if it's an upgrade (not...

I've been having mine come and go for the last 3-4 months. It's totally random and doesn't seem to care about temperature, weather, or road conditions. I even rotated the tires and reset the TPMS without fixing the problem. The fault didn't follow the tire and is still showing the driver's...

After talking with Ford Support they said they don't know the minimum voltage for OTAs, but did say that the battery State of Charge (SOC) must be above 80%. Any ideas what that might correlate to volts? Is SOC available to read via Forscan? Thanks!

I'm in the same boat. I'm in a 500a Powerboost 4x4 SCREW with 7.2 generator. Is your rig similar?

Does anyone know what the AGM battery voltage should be when the truck is off and parked? These are my stats: - Truck running at idle (3.5 Powerboost) 12.98-13.0 volts. - Truck Accessory on, engine off 13.0 volts. I'm guessing it's pulling the aux battery or hybrid battery for some juice? -...

The other big variable is the hybrid power train. Maybe the regen braking is catching or the battery is always charging, taking a larger load on the ICE? Maybe a letter to the BBB could get the traction needed to have a diagnostics preformed on those systems to at least rule those out?
