I can't get the transmission pan off past the exhaust. This video from ford shows the pan slide right out, but mine will not clear the exhaust.

It's been 4 years, 11 months, and 1 week since I applied seven coats of Halo EFX and three coats of Finish-1 clear coat as a paint protection product on the truck. I have driven almost exactly 100K miles in that time. I pulled the PPF off this week, and the paint underneath looks factory new...
Cranked out an under-seat molle panel that can be 3D printed. If you decide to make one, you need a minimum of 300x300mm bed printer. make it out of high-temp filament (ABS/ASA/Nylon/PA-12, etc) and use 100% infill.
Is it as strong as steel? No, but it is stronger than anything I'm bolting...
I'm working on a small project to help the Lightning owners with their unique issues running the Comma3x and OpenPilot. I need to get a simple PCB design worked up so we can get a quote from PCBWay or JLCPCB for a parts run. I have a schematic, but am struggling to get the traces done on the...
I had been knocking around the idea of replacing my folding shifter with a rotary knob for almost 4 years, since my first folding shifter went bad and the vehicle had to be towed for a replacement. The lightning guys beat me to it, and about a dozen of those guys have swapped theirs out...
Is there someting unique about the powerboost that would cause issues for a DC to DC convertor. I've bout two different 12v to 30v converters for powering up a starlink mini, and neither one will put out more than 16v when in the car. If I hook them up on the bench with a meanwell powersupply...
Bought these last year when one of my LED projectors was damaged because the pair was cheaper than 1 OEM replacment. A year later AlphaRex has still not been able to get them to work correctly in a truck setup with project LEDs.
These have about 25K miles on them, and come with the harness for...
I did about an hour of searching on the forum, and couldn't find an answer for this. If it is out there, I apologize for the double post.
While helping another member (who recently acquired a used 2021) with FDRS and Forscan edits, he mentioned random warning chimes with nothing on the dash. I...
If anyone has access to the factory service manuals, I'm looking for information on the side collision detection system. For reference, here is a thread to my problem:

Like others, I struggle to get logged into FDRS. I've used it dozens of times, I know 100% what my password is, and yet there are time it takes me hours to get logged in. Yesterday and today I stumbled across a trick that worked for me 3 out of 3 times. Can't say for sure it will work for...
The goal of bluepilot is to develop, test, and stage Ford specific enhancements, validating them before submission to the SunnyPilot team for inclusion in the parent project.
bluepilot is based on SunnyPilot, and is not intended to compete with or replace SunnyPilot, rather it is a place for...
I was doing some work with the Comma and swapped harnesses at the IPMA, and got a U2108 - Adaptive Cruise Control error. Nothing else useful in the message. Forscan couldn't reset it. Obviously I removed all of the comma gear and was on stock while I was troubleshooting. These were the only...
I ordered this to try and repair my cracked drivers side light, but by time it got here from China the light was full of water and the electronics were ruined. Save a few bucks and get it shipped from Houston instead of China if you need one. Still in the box never opened.
My drivers side was damaged beyond repair, I picked up a set of AlphaRex LUXX instead of buying a new drivers side, about 70K miles on this one. Has some minor chips from the rocks, but very usable if your passenger side is damaged. Will ship in the box my AlphaRex came in.
I'm probably the only person who has ever downgraded from LED Projector lights, but mine were damaged and a pair of AlphaRex LUXX were cheaper than a single Ford light, and I think the Alphas look way better so I'm going to give them a go. I found this document on how to upgrade from Halogen to...
Someone didn't secure the load in the bed of their truck, and something bounced out right into my drivers headlight. It's got a pretty nasty crack and it's already starting to get liquid in it. A new light was $1600 from fordparts.com so I said no thanks to that. I did order a set of AlphaRex...
I'm out of town (away from my truck) but trying to help some lightning owners troubleshoot. If anyone has an F150 (not lightning), a multimeter, and ten spare minutes; could you please pull the voltages on the 16 ODB2 pins with the ignition off and ignition on? All the pinouts I find outline...
