I got to wondering how regen braking works. Does it work on all four wheels or just rear wheels and is 4 wheel regenerative braking tied to whether you have the truck in 4A or 4H instead of normal 2wd? I might be taking a trip up north into snow country and thought it might be a disadvantage if...

I’ve used my 2023 Powerboost Lariat mostly to tow my 7500 travel trailer. I’m nearing 50,000 miles, so I thought I’d change the rearend fluid, and at the same time slap on a Spicer diff cover. I have the 9.75” max tow axle with elocker. I don’t believe I need any friction modifier but am...

I just downloaded 6.2 after seeing some on the Lightning forum got PPO in FordPass back. But I still can’t get it. It seems like it’s coming but a slow rollout.

Today my FordPass app will not update no matter what I try. I’ve even finally deleted the app and reinstalled. It would not remote start either. My vehicle battery is a 12.9, so it’s okay. Any ideas?

I got talked into buying a Ford Limited Maintenance Plan with a 24 month/30,000 mile plan and 10000 mile oil change interval. So the plan brochure says I get three oil changes, tire rotations and multi-point inspections. I didn’t get my first oil change done at Ford, but I’m due now at 30,000...

I’ve run through all the PIDs I could find, and I can’t find the one that registers the 12v battery voltage. I have a Bluetooth monitor on my battery, but I want to read the voltage while driving using OBDLink app and my own custom gauges. I’ve found everything I want but voltage. Any ideas?

First, how and why does being in boost affect mpg, and then, if boost is a detriment, what strategies should I use to maximize mpg by minimizing boost? I consider myself a reasonably conservative driver, one of those who generally pays attention to maximizing mpg, if for no other reason than...

In looking for a set of tire pressure sensors for my ‘23 Powerboost, I come across two different types: 315 mhz and 433 mhz. Which one works with my truck? Both claim they do. I need them for my spare set of tires and rims for off-roading.

I think in importing 3.0 version I did something. I lost the Turbopilot’s dashboard entirely. I’ve tried over time to retrieve it with zero success. Some procedure is a mystery to me. Now he’s release the stg file 4.0 and no matter what I do I cannot get it to load. I’ve downloaded the stg file...

I just finished reading Turbopilot’s report on pulling the new Lightstream Rv over on the Overlanding and camping forum. Very interesting, but what caught my eye was his mpg towing his Airstream at 62 mph. I have a 2465 Lance, not as slick as an Airstream but at 7200 lbs loaded and better...

Carbonized gray. Never been hit. No bends. Very good condition. Has a few very inconspicuous scratches but looks like new. Seems to require local pickup because it’s stout! Though I could meet you somewhere reasonable. I’m north of Waco Texas. $425

I have discovered I have LoJack connected. Apparently from a previous dealership. I bought the vehicle with 11000 miles on it. I want a clean OBD2 port to put a splitter on. How do you remove LoJack? It is somehow connected to the OBD port.

Has anyone added a small bed tank to supplement the 30.6 gallon main tank? I’m considering the possibility. I would like to add one that feeds directly to the main tank like my Transfer Flow on my old diesel, but it doesn’t need the fancy electronics. In towing my trailer I often get in the...

My Bluetooth battery monitor has been fairly consistent usually showing low charging rates unless I put the fan up to five when it jumps up to 14.3 or so. But today it has consistently shown high 14s! Just regular auto on climate control. That seems very high, even alarmingly so. Any ideas?

I first checked my Sync software version on August 25th on my 2023 Powerboost Lariat. I pulled up the About Sync screen under settings. Today I just checked it again, and it’s exactly the same as August 25th, though I’ve received notice of a couple of OTA updates over the past months. Every...

My 2023 Powerboost tail gate suddenly started just flopping down whenever I pushed the release button and then had to push it up. It lost all power assistance. This repeatedly happened yesterday, but then this morning I go out and it’s working again properly both up and down! Anybody know what’s...

I have two working fobs for my ‘23 Lariat Powerboost. I am familiar with programming a third fob from my previous Super Duties and have attempted to follow the instructions online for the F150–but it doesn’t work. I place a programmed fob in the slot beneath the cup holder. Turn ignition on...

I keep getting notices that my software is being updated. Does anyone know what the latest should be on my 2023 Powerboost Lariat?

This is the first vehicle I’ve had in forty years that doesn’t seem to have a standard 12 volt cigarette lighter receptacle somewhere on the center stack. I’d actually like to add one pointing upward flush with the flat area right in front of the BO center speaker, the area where you throw...

I am consistently have my 12v battery read 12.4 volts about an hour after driving. This seems low to me. It seems like it ought to be 12.6 or 12.7. It’s the original battery probably about a year old. What should the voltage be?
