Replaced the OEM battery on my 21 XLT with an Autozone Platinum H7. That was a year ago and haven't heard a peep out of it since. Fixed numerous electrical gremlins.

I'll assume it's real. My only comment is just look at the state of the used oil. Black as hell... A few thousand miles beyond shot I'd wager. Wouldn't want to buy that one used...

Might be a long shot but double check the fuses are seated properly both in the under hood and passenger compartment. My ‘21 had at least 50% of the fuses barely seated. Also double check the SOC to make sure you don’t have a low voltage condition. Low SOC shouldn’t happen on a new vehicle...

What if you have a completely dead battery?

At that time of the morning the vehicle is probably colder than after you warm it up with the engine. Don't know if that would affect anything. The only other things that come to mind are the ever-present battery issues plaguing the F-150s. I replaced the battery in my 21 PB about 3 months...

Did you do a BMS reset after the new battery install?

Assume you mean the speaker in the driver's door. Things expand when heated and different materials expand different amounts. I suppose it's possible that differential expansion could cause a connection to uncouple. Does hitting bumps cause it to flicker on and off? Really the only way to...

I agree. Alpine are fine speakers. In fact, I'm running Alpine SPE-6090 6X9 in my front doors. Didn't want to go the amp route and wanted something to round out the sound from the dash speaker.

Indeed. When you order from Crutchfield, they indicate what else is needed based on your vehicle. In this case I believe it was a backer plate and small bit of wiring for my F-150. All this still fits in the original door panel so you don't need their supplied covers.

:like: Probably time to invest in a new battery. Mine was less than 1 yr old and I replaced it with a Platinum AutoZone H7. Updates started to complete then. The 2021 PB that I have is known to have battery issues tied to FORD OEM batteries. Glad you got it fixed..

could still be the battery. Is it the OEM battery from Ford? What's the SOC reading? Might ask @rugedraw to lookup your VIN and see if he has any insight into your update process

I replaced my rear door speaker with Kicker. Made a noticeable difference sound quality and range especially in the lower frequencies. Didn't want to go expensive and these worked for me. Pic is from Crutchfield

Selling point for me too! Especially since SW Idaho has been over 100F for two weeks now. The other main point for me is the 7.2Kw power option. I have installed a sub panel at home and can run the entire house (minus AC, Ovens and outdoor spa) including 3 fridges and 1 upright freezer with...

Thanks Ruge..I'll continue to try and troubleshoot. Nice to know that my suspicions are correct..

1FTFW1ED4MFC71818 @rugedraw "Bless me Father for I have sinned (apparently). My last update was 10 months ago." It was the online user manual update from Sep 13, 2023. My update button is grayed out also. Just wondering if I'm missing s bunch of updates based on the newest spreadsheet...

I changed my battery for an Autozone H7 Platinum. The PB will not accept an H8 do to the generation equipment in the way. Here’s my battery tender setup so I don’t have to deal with running power cords or have the hood open to attach. Added a NOCO Genius 10 charger permanent battery connect. I...

While it’s a good idea to replace with an H7..It does not change the potential issue of battery drain. It will just take a bit longer to manifest. These trucks need to be driven a fair amount to sufficiently charge the battery. I drive mine about as much as you do so I keep mine on the Genius...

I’ve read on the other forum about a couple of connectors not well sealed against weather on the underside rear I believe. Water got in there and caused a problem. They solved the problem by drying and re-sealing the connection.
