  1. GenerLink transfer switch mounted on Power Box

    Generlink (behind the meter transfer switches) do not switch the neutral. When used with a gas generator (as shown) you have to modify the generator to remove the bond between the neutral and ground. In our trucks, you cannot remove the neutral-ground bond - it is internal inside the generator...
  2. RCI Skid Plates Installed

    Hi Cody - I just contated RCI and they said they do not have a plate which covers the space left if the active air dam is removed. Their site shows the following: The AAD is still there - it does not bolt directly under the front bumper - it seems to go "above" the AAD and covers some of the...
  3. Removed Active Air Dam From my F-150 - DIY Writeup

    For those who removed their active air dam, do you have a way to cover the gap it creates? I have ordered RCI skid plates, but they are used with the active air dam so the gap is still there. All help appreciated .
  4. PowerBoost inspired hybrid house

    I see now - each inverter controls 120V and one side of the split phase 240 - so they are not in parallel. Cool. You have not shown any neutral or ground connections to the mains or PB. I would look carefully into the inverter specs regarding bonding (ie neutral to ground connections). The...
  5. PowerBoost inspired hybrid house

    Some complications here - you are essentially trying to add 2 grid-forming inverters in parallel. Each device (powerboost inverter and your battery energy storage) is used to be the only thing in the grid - they are setup so there is no power demand signal and the power in the inverter is...
  6. RCI Skid Plates Installed

    I bought the RCI engine and transmission skid plate for my 2021 Powerboost - my question is about the active air dam... I am installing the skid plate for 4x4ing in deep snow - without a skid plate snow gets packed up into the engine area. Also the fragile dynamic air dam is very weak/vulnerable...
  7. 2021+ F150 Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread

    Rugedraw - do you know if this IPMA update is safe for 2021 Powerboost vehicles (referencing the previous problem you mentioned earlier this week)?
  8. Pedestrian Sounder Delete (No Codes, Easily Reversible)

    Thanks - ie just a coincidence then that the messages occurred after an FDRS update. I will check for corrorsion/seating and post-back.
  9. Pedestrian Sounder Delete (No Codes, Easily Reversible)

    I used the bypass resistor trick (first post) to eliminate the pedestrian sound/noise - all was working well until this week. I just did some FDRS updates, and now I get pedestrian sounder fault messages. Does anyone know if recent (< 1 year) updates broke the resistor trick? I know I can do...
  10. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    No dash lights and no DTCs - seems to drive fine. PSCM update no longer shows up in FDRS (as I did the first part of the chain, but not the 2nd IPMA part). Strange is that PSCM is now grey status (not green) in FDRS , but Forscan seems to find it fine. How can I do programming changes in...
  11. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    Apparently PSCM updates are chained to IPMA updates, so you should not update PSCM until IPMA is safe to update. I did update PSCM but did not do the 2nd chained IPMA update - now the PSCM is grey (unresponsive) even when a network scan is done with the engine running. No DTC or CEL, and...
  12. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    Thanks for the warning Rugedraw - my truck does not have adaptive cruise, 360 cameras, or bluecruise - are all the problems related to lane depature/bluecruise?
  13. ECU module programming guide using FDRS

    I am doing my second around of FDRS updates this weekend - I know I can no longer update BCM, but any other modules that should be avoided (or may cause grief)? Last update was about 1 year ago (and I have had very few OTAs since then)... Job 1 2021 Powerboost Lariat 501A
  14. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    Just saw this - thank you so much for all of the work in the past Rugedraw - way above and beyond the call of duty!
  15. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    One more VIN request please - 1FTFW1ED0MFB57671 Got past bricked OTA updates (via Mongoose and FDRS etc.) and thought I was out of the woods - got an audio update a long time ago that seemed to have bricked OTAs again (been patient - waited for more than 6 months). Thanks in advance!
