  1. "System Off to Save Battery" message

    Give it some time, bet it shows back up. Mine has been doing it off and on since October. Three times to the dealer, each time they find nothing wrong despite the dozens of screen caps from fordpass and pictures of the warning on the display. I'm ready to just drop the cash on a new battery, my...
  2. The EPA fuel economy is possible! See Inside*

    I cant force my truck to get less than 20mpg for any trip longer than 5 miles, even in sport mode with me trying. Only on very short trips will it drop down to about 18 at the lowest. Lifetime average, with just about 5k miles, is at 22.1mpg. I regularly get above 30mpg on in-town single lane...
  3. Powerboost CEL P237C/Exhaust Heat Exchanger Leak Megathread

    I hope I don't have to find out, but that's debatable. I can hardly imagine any police officer with a brain would show up to that call, see a vehicle registered to the owner, no owner signed estimate or contract for work, no valid repossession, and then not strongly tell the dealer they're...
  4. Powerboost CEL P237C/Exhaust Heat Exchanger Leak Megathread

    Honest question, could a dealer really force you to sign a release? If they told me that my response would be this is my property, and if I want to take it there is nothing they'll be able to do to stop that. If they hold the truck hostage as a incentive to sign something, I don't see how that...
  5. Premium Maintenance Service Plans

    Bumping this. I purchased the service plan with my truck in October. Cost was $1500 for 96 months or 85000 miles. Looking for input because im considering cancelling this. I did the same math as above and it seemed like I wasnt getting a great value. But then I look closer and see, as...
  6. Replaced my Lariat Sport Grille with "Raptorish" Grille

    I debated it too, but the holder for the Ford badge had the right cutout so I took a shot. The modification needed is really easy, it could probably be done with a handsaw even.
  7. Some stats on the PowerBoost hybrid system

    Hmm, wonder if DISCHARGELIM or the variable/s that drive it are programable with enough digging..
  8. Replaced my Lariat Sport Grille with "Raptorish" Grille

    Hi all, I followed a couple of threads on here of grille replacements but didnt see exactly what I wanted. I even ordered and returned one grille that didnt work out. I finally found this grille on ebay that was noted as " Does not compatible with camera cutout version models". My truck has...
  9. Powered My HVAC 6+ hours during ice storm with Pro Power Onboard

    I found something very interesting today when researching transfer switches: http://www.generlink.com/ I called the manufactuer and they confirmed it will work with the F150 Propower....however my utility here in GA doesnt allow it. May be useful for some of you other guys. This would be...
  10. Powered My HVAC 6+ hours during ice storm with Pro Power Onboard

    Yes, it included the blower motor and some other electronics as well. I should have gotten pics, power is back on now after about 10 hours of running it from the truck and I put it back to mains power. Basically my HVAC is in a closet in the garage. The power for the unit runs into a junction...
  11. Powered My HVAC 6+ hours during ice storm with Pro Power Onboard

    I lacked a little foresight and failed to install a transfer switch at my house, but an ice storm rolled through last night and we lost power. Has been out since about 1am, about 9 hours as of posting. I have a gas furnace so I decided to try to hook it up around 3am. Switched off main breaker...
  12. Interior climate control - easy or not?

    Yes you can, but select more than one and its just 50/50 airflow to each. I know everyone has experienced a time when you just want a little bit of defrost flow to keep the window from fogging and the rest of the heat on your feet. Not possible with the Sync4 in the F150.. I guess Ford saved...
  13. Interior climate control - easy or not?

    I hate it, and hate the fact you cannot modulate the flow between settings even more. My last vehicle (a Japanese SUV half the price of my truck new) I could set the flow to any fraction of airflow between feet, dash, and defrost. If I wanted 15% defrost and 85% feet, I could have it. No...
  14. I broke FordPass this morning

    My app was down this mornign too. I also tried logging in to the Ford website to get a refund on my Lightening deposit and it just spins its wheels. I guess they broke the entire Ford network when they pushed the Lightening B&P live.
