  1. Please someone give me some advice!

    Dude, know how to use Google, or at least a friend with an Amazon account.? "brake pedal extender for F150", hundreds of results...
  2. Powerboost - 12V Battery Drain things to think about

    I have '22 PB KR since Feb 22, but in Central TX so we don't have really bad cold. I have the ORIGINAL BATTERY, still. I had maybe 2 times in the first 1-2 years of "Low Battery". Retired, so I don't necessarily drive it everyday. And some days, just some short errands runs. But also longer...
  3. Air compressor trips PPOB breaker

    Probably so, but w/o a scope we don't know the height and duration of the starting current spike on this old compressor. For under $20 I'd try the adapter plug. Steady state current draw when running is probably under 15A, so it might handle a 2.1X spike. I would also, do any maintenance on...
  4. Air compressor trips PPOB breaker

    One thing that is sometimes missed, and MIGHT work for you is to get a L14-30P to whatever 120V plug your compressor needs for less than $20. Pretty cheap to try (vs a new compressor or a SoftStart). The 120V standard outlets in the PPOB are 2400W (i.e. 20A x 120V). If you use a 120V side of...
  5. OTA Power Up 6.8.0 is a nothing burger for me

    Thanks for clarifying. I was confused, as I swear (wishful thinking?) in one of the OTA or 6.x threads it talked about 6.8 and BC enhancements. Additionally tonesto's Power Up Version History for 6.8.0 has: "For vehicles equipped with BlueCruise this adds support for lane change assist in...
  6. OTA Power Up 6.8.0 is a nothing burger for me

    Have a '22 PB KR with Blue Cruise and everything else. Excited about 6.8 having BC updates, to include lane change as documented in Tonesto version history. For me it was just like the "Details" stated - ... improvements for future stuff... "What's new: Ford Power-up 6.8.0 Smart changes here...
  7. 21 Limited Powerboost with no weight scale feature on 12" touch screen?

    Scales (and CCD suspension) were a Job 2 option for '21 (i.e. started being available around July). And was an option on most upper level trims (not sure about Limited).
  8. Gas tank size….

    To add to the confusion, every car/truck/brand/model I've owned always had a "buffer" of at least 20 miles after the DTE went to 0. So even when DTE=0 I've had a least a gallon in the tank. This makes the OP at 31.2g put in when DTE=20 (which would imply about 2 gallons still in the tank)...
  9. ⚠️ Recall: Electronic Parking Brake Unintended Activation -- affects 870K F-150 (from 2021-23 model years w/ single exhaust system)

    I believe there are 3 times when the Parking Brake applies automatically. One, when you set it to, while having a trailer attached and shifting into park. Second, if you are a little quick on lifting foot off of the brake pedal as you shift into Park. Third is when the truck senses it's on an...
  10. Camera realignment not covered under warranty?

    Ok, not sure why Frank got jumped about expecting an allowed function (removing tailgate temporarily) causing a malfunction on his truck. History: I had the same problem when an after-manufacturing spray in was done. However, the dealer was having it done as part of my purchase (at the time...
  11. Use a 50amp cable for the 7.2kw ProPower?

    You are wrong (confused) and may be confusing others reading this. Yes RVs are 120V. Yes "50 Amp" (i.e. 4 pin) RVs have 2 separate 120V legs each rated to use up to 50 amps (but usually on most RVs will have 30amp breaker, limiting load up to 30amps on each leg). In general the RVs with 2 A/Cs...
  12. New to towing and have a 2023 XL

    Important to review stats further, is it ELECTRIC brakes or is it hydraulic/surge brakes. Many (most?) trailers under 5000lb total would have surge and you don't need (and would NOT get any use from) a TBC.
  13. Transfer Switch install - success!

    Also to keep in mind, an appropriate switched neutral solution (whether fully mechanical or automated) will switch Neutral BEFORE switching the 2 Hots. That is you never want to have the Hot switched and live before the netural is in circuit. So if your Electrician is going to "fab" up some...
  14. Pro Power Onboard for travel trailer in weather

    The 4 120V outlets in the bed are rated at 20A each (but not all 4 at once). A motor (saw or some other motor) can draw a startup current of 2 to 4x the rated amp of the motor (i.e. if motor is a 12A motor you might see a spike of 25 to 50A momentarily. A circuit breaker in your house...
  15. Installed Transfer Switch in House

    Of course local codes can change from city to city. Here EVERY outlet outside or the garage (i.e. not in the living space), as well as bathroom outlets within a certain distance from water (sink, tub, shower, etc) HAS to be GFCI. So if you are going to have a "beer frig" in the garage it will...
