I do not have auto on, but will have to check to verify. If I let off the brake, it will roll forward (on elec or gas). But the threshold for going seems to be high, and once it does go it’s not necessarily the slow lurch I was wanting. It’s like at some point the elec motor kicks on and it...

I've had a 2.0 EcoBoost in an Escape, a 3.5 EcoBoost in an Explorer Sport, and now the 3.5 PowerBoost in the F150. All of these engines have had turbo lag issues. At least that's my guess going from naturally aspirated vehicles the whole give it gas and it goes but in 1-second it goes like you...

So exactly how are they BS-ing? And exactly what are your credentials so that I should take your word over theirs? Is this just some internet troll who had a chip in his 1990 mustang so now he knows it all or are you a professional who can bring some education to this thread? Inquiring minds...

I'm just hoping someone near Tampa gets one installed so I can just call their electrician :)

:) Thanks, a little salt in the wound :) For now I have a step ladder that I bring with me when hauling. Sure I could climb up on my knees, but they're not exactly 100% these days and if I can avoid it, I will.

Wonder what the odds are I can find a totaled (front end damage) Velocity Blue 2021 with this at a junk yard or something. Or would that even be possible given all the other stuff (electronic opening, cameras, lights, etc)

My wife has an electrician she deals with for her commercial properties. She asked him for a quote to install a "transfer switch" and I mentioned about the bonded neutral or whatever. He came back with something that would cost $5,500. What the..... Anyone around Tampa, Florida got one of...

I had the following installed: 2-Sony XS-162ES 6.5" component up front 2-Sony XS-160ES 6.5" 2-way in rear 1-JL Audio CS112LG-TW3 w/12" TW3-D4 speaker (2ohm) 1-Wavtech Link6 DSP 1-Kenwood XR901-5 AMP (4x75w @ 2ohm + 1x600w @ 2ohm) plus all the wiring, fuses, etc. Put the amp volume (I have it...

To answer why I use 4H in the rain - and not all rain - was traction and stability. This is all on my last truck, as since I bought this one it has only rained twice and I've only driven in the rain once (I know, for Florida this is rare). My last two vehicles were AWD, my last truck...

I don't believe the engine charges the 12v system directly (via alternator). It charges only the high voltage system, which in turn charges the 12v system. I'm not entiry sure where this inverter lives and how exactly it is wired. If you have the Ford repair manual schematic wiring diagrams...

The manual states there is a DC/DC inverter. I believe the electric motor would run on the "native" battery voltage (approx 450v) and not need an inverter. The DC/DC inverter is for stepping the high-voltage battery down to 12v. I'm going from the limited info we've all talked about but to me...

The only reference to alternator I found on that page is the reference to using that car generator (what he is selling) and your cars alternator to generate electricity. He wasn't referring to the powerboost alternator he was referring to comparing the powerboost to the car generator on any...

Keep in mind if you leave your generator on, even with vehicle off the engine will run periodically. Something to keep an eye on (I did this when I first got it not realizing). Also it's easy to leave on because it's so quiet. Not saying you did any of this, but those MPG are incredibly low...

Don't get offended, I chose to use your exact words because they indeed seemed snooty and I wanted to politely point that out. I'm not here to argue I am here to learn and converse. This is what I read. And I read that the high voltage battery provides 12v power via a converter and the 12v...

The manual states there is a DC converter that converts the high voltage (approx 450v) to low voltage (12v) to supply power to the vehicles low voltage system. This is per the manual. I don't know more than what I quoted, but it clearly states there is a converter to use the high-voltage...

At the end of the year the only place in town with stock was Brandon Ford. Their trucks were all "highly optioned" so there wasn't a $63k Lariat on the lot. Their cheapest 4x4 Crew Cab was $72k I believe. Fully optioned was just about everything. We would all love to have the "next higher...

And I’ll let u know tomorrow or Wednesday. I should get it back by then. It’s not a super big setup so I’m hoping it will not but I had a car once with only 1200 watts and it dimmed when bass hit. I’m much older now so don’t really listen to that kinda music anymore. But I will to test it :)

I have no idea what headlights I have :). I have XLT with the 302A or whatever high package is. I suspect it’s halogen. I’m happy with them so I doubt I’ll change over and looking at the price I’m hoping I do not have them (I just googled see if I could find out how to tell). They would have...

So it does... States "The DC/DC converter is a liquid-cooled component that converts high-voltage DC power to low-voltage DC power. It is a module located in the engine compartment and maintains an electrical isolation between the 2 DC power systems. This system converts the high-voltage...

I'm coming at this thinking about car stereo amps. Does the hybrid battery interface with the 12v system to supply more current on-demand? Curious if you can have more power draw from the 12v system for amps without needing a bigger alternator. Or, are the two not linked at all?
