  1. Wheel Hops while turning

    It is remarkably easy to bump the diff lock button. p.s. but it's great for burnouts … : )
  2. Considering trading 22' F350 SRW Tremor 6.7 for 22 F150 PB, specific questions about daily commute route

    350 vs 150? well, at least you won't have to wear a kidney belt
  3. Power reset for better MPG

    There's a reset code accessible through FORScan. I did it and it didn't make any difference. I then had the dealer reset "everything" (which made no difference) while attempting to fix a transmission shifting problem, which was later fixed by a service bulletin including mechanical adjustments...
  4. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    Well, I'm a sucker for a miracle story, and I haven't driven my half ton Prius in a week (and BlueCruise just installed itself last week, so I've barely gone 20 miles using BlueCruise …) I'll have to find a chance on the weekend to see if my truck now drives on the smell of an oily rag. If I can...
  5. What kind of MPG mileage are you getting with your Powerboost?

    I wish there was a way for Ford to "backup" one of the trucks that gets 25-28 mpg and OTA that configuration to other trucks. My truck never shows 28 mpg steady, never shows 25 for that matter, but at 50 mph on level ground, sure, it will be above 20 and sometimes report 24+ mpg for a few...
  6. AMP Research BedStep Installation

    I think AMP needs to go to Munro and ask them to fix this so it's lighter, simpler, smaller, fewer parts and fits first time to any Ford/GM/Chrysler/Toyota/Nissan with zero grief … sell it on Amazon (or whatever) and fabricate the whole product in a USA factory.
  7. AMP Research BedStep Installation

    Yep. I used to work for IBM on a project that designed systems (for enterprise and corporate global installations) to make sure there was no risk of confusion … in this case, we would have designed overlays for each vehicle fitment to make it a "no brainer" to install. Of course, we were...
  8. F150 Powerboost possibly not functioning

    Agreed on all points. I wish Ford included a display in the instrument panel showing the state of charge of the battery as a percentage and as an estimated range under current conditions. There should be a control for the driver to switch from electric to hybrid to a mode that will keep the...
  9. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    Agreed on privacy. Unless Ford is going to call 911 every time I'm speeding on the freeway … that could get expensive. The question is whether the vehicle data impacts use of Bluecruise or even 'eligibility' for EAP. Tesla is using an idiotic "scoring" system to purported limit access to its...

    2.5.0 said "145 minutes" to apply … these are getting bigger …
  11. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    My truck applied 2.4.4 and it was set up to receive Bluecruise OTA last week … anticipation … "the waiting is the hardest part."
  12. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    well, I start the trip tomorrow. all set. well, a few last minute things to pack in the morning ... never leave anything to the 11th hour that can wait till the last minute … and no Bluecruise … ho hum … maybe it will show up while I'm … nowhere near wifi … I guess I'll connect the truck to the...

    2.4.3 update (yesterday … was hoping for Bluecruise … next time for sure! : ) 2/21 build date
  14. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    I hadn't seen that list. I'll take "Pet Mode" asap, please. Looks like Ford is not kidding about matching Tesla with the Mach-E. Hopefully the useful stuff (forget the games) lands on the F-150 Hybrid (presumably it's all destined for the Lightning.)
  15. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    Funny. I hadn't thought about the irony there. I guess we're "early adopters" of Ford OTA and field service support. : ) It's impressive that in the blink of an eye – by auto industry standards – Ford has gone from trivial OTA updates to something that changes the vehicle's most dangerous features.
  16. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    I'd suggest replying to your email from EAP and asking for an update on your position -- the more of us demonstrating interest in Bluecruise, the better. It's important for the product management and marketing teams to have numbers that show Bluecruise sells cars. Ford CEO, Jim Farley has said...
  17. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    I replied to an email from the EAP to ask about my placement and they confirmed.
  18. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    Curiosity is an insidious motivation … I went to check that wifi was connected (it wasn't) and noted: 1. check wifi and wait for it to refresh (or hit the button) … at first, it looks like it's connected with a "check mark" tick next to the wifi access point … when it refreshed, it was not...
  19. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    I responded to the survey – because I thought it was about Bluecruise. Added by PEARLYAC on 8/11/21 (so date or place in "line" doesn't seem to be the primary criterion.)
  20. Final Steps to Bluecruise email

    Me too. Can't wait. (and I have a 2000 mile road trip starting March 4th … : )
