Sounds like wireless CarPlay is out of control. It is supposed to connect via WiFi, not a cellular WAN. Wireless CarPlay has other problems including shutting down the iPhone WiFi radios, instead taking over WiFi to support the wireless connection to Sync 4 exclusively. For those reasons I...

My 22 Globetrotter has 15k and 13k BTU roof AC units. Just finished a trip with pretty continuous 100F to 105F temps. Airstream was able to hold around 75F inside. I was pretty impressed.

Version 1.3 of the OBDLink PowerBoost dashboard. Most changes were to format and colors to make display more readable in full sunlight. This dashboard was built on an IOS device. Still looking for more useful PID's. As usual change the file extension from .pdf to .stg before trying to import...

It's a 2022 Globetrotter 25' FB. Front AC does gather a lot of bugs, so it is messing up the aerodynamics.

Because it is not a .pdf file, it is an .stg file to work around constraints of forum software. Change .pdf to .stg and import it into the OBDLink App. There is no file to "open".

There are several threads on this subject. This thread has the most posts and information.

There are SAE PIDs that support turbine inlet temperatures but apparently not supported by Ford.

OBDLink. See this thread.

@Snakebitten what manual are you pulling that documentation from and where can I get it?

In turbocharged airplanes we have turbine inlet temperatures (TIT) for each turbo. Pretty good proxy for turbo bearing temperatures, typically in the range of 1500 to 1600 F. During the 3 minute turbo cool down at idle you can watch those temps tail off. Pull the mixture abruptly just after...

Interesting point, that should also be an issue when not pulling the trailer. If there is no oil flow every time the ICE turns off with hot turbos. In turbocharged airplanes I always allow about 3 minutes of idle cool down for the turbos before shutting down to prevent coking.

I have a loaded Platinum. With 840 lbs on the hitch I am very close to the maximum payload for the truck towing the Airstream.

That sounds reasonable but watching the real time temperatures in both modes I have not seen any meaningful differences. Transmission temps seem to stay in a very narrow band of 210F to 220F with any outside temperature towing my Airstream. Here is a screen shot at 95F outside air temperature...

I have found with flat terrain, no wind or tailwind, my PB seems to do very well towing a 7,100 Airstream trailer in Normal Mode with a slight increase in milage. With head winds and/or mountainous terrain, I go to Tow/Haul mode. Make sense?

Ok, here is V1.2. Fixed the import background color issues. Positioning issues on screen are device specific and will have to be done manually for devices other than iPhone 14 Max Pro. Changed some formatting and added trailer brake voltage PID. As usual convert extension to .stg before import.

Screenshot. I found the problem with the bad import of background color in some of the gauges. Colors were set for background without any width that somehow did not import right. Will upload new version with the fix.

And this thread will help you get it working. https://www.f150gen14.com/forum/threads/obdlink-mx-is-on-sale-today.13217/

Good luck. Blind leading the blind with this issue. My suggestion is that anyone with a 2023 PB should have and use an OBDLink to watch and troubleshoot their system. At the very least harvesting the trouble codes can be very useful. The Stop Safely Now alert is generic and can pop up for many...
