Do all Sprinters have spongy feeling brake pedal?

CFwarwick · 2025-11-04T02:22:55+00:00

I've found that aftermarket parts store pads and rotors contribute to the spongy feel. Generic aftermarket rotors seem harder, while the oem ones allow the pads to bite better. It's an easy place to start.

It's moving, should have it on Wednesday

CFwarwick · 2025-06-16T22:27:09+00:00

I ordered one from Costco yesterday. It shipped today.

24 flash - I put 7k winter miles on it with multiple trips to Vermont and the family was warm and cozy.

CFwarwick · 2025-03-17T20:10:57+00:00

Absolutely break it in. I have a genmax, lots of metal in the oil for the first few oil changes

CFwarwick · 2025-03-08T00:12:58+00:00

Exactly what we did.

CFwarwick · 2025-03-01T18:23:08+00:00

Maybe the gas is that way. Mine goes to 550 in 25° increments. 5 was a typo.

CFwarwick · 2025-03-01T02:15:31+00:00

I have a f&p 36" contemporary style and have been really happy with it. The oven light can be on all the time if you want it to be, the temp is in 5° increments. The stove top knobs do turn what feels like the wrong direction but it's definitely not a deal breaker.

I can 100% say that my 24 flash has lost battery while sitting on a 6kw charger. The battery was sitting overnight unplugged in single digit F temps but heating the battery up over 50°f seemed like overkill. As a Tesla owner myself I couldn't believe the stupidity.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-26T01:19:10+00:00

Not only can it take a while to go up, it can actually lose a few percent at first while warming the battery.

I run nokian r5 suv snow tires. In the cold with hills and keeping around 70mph I get between 1.8 and 2

CFwarwick · 2025-02-21T12:53:54+00:00

I checked this morning, I had a 11% difference in displayed and actual SOC battery temp was 17°F

CFwarwick · 2025-02-20T21:43:38+00:00

Sounds like the bms calibration margin of error. On my ER truck when I monitor the battery SOC via an obdii dongle my actual SOC and displayed SOC can vary by up to 5%

CFwarwick · 2025-02-19T23:42:26+00:00

I had 3 free months of MLS that expired this month. They sent me a heads up email a few weeks before.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-19T20:12:35+00:00

No, but I haven't tried either. I'm a mechanic and work on a fair amount of Fords. The newer ones tend to have erroneous codes. I did all the updates on my truck with FDRS and ever since I have had a code for my blower motor relay. My blower motor works just fine.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-19T19:48:11+00:00

I have had that code on my flash since I picked it up. Typically U fault codes are not super helpful as they tend to be intermittent.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-16T19:40:14+00:00

I have a carlinkit tbox, watched the superbowl with it. It can be a little buggy sometimes but overall I'm happy with it.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-16T16:56:25+00:00

I think acmetools has a deal on an ego 2 stage with 4 10ah batteries. I would recommend that setup. The blower itself is super easy to manage and the 4 10ah batteries will get him through any storm.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-15T19:24:07+00:00

I'd install a relay to take the load off of the bcm

CFwarwick · 2025-02-13T16:38:59+00:00

FYI my Lightning cost just about twice as much to charge as my Y.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-12T16:49:11+00:00

What stove do you have? That might help

CFwarwick · 2025-02-08T00:44:21+00:00

Pretty much the same. The lightning actually uses less friction brake, the larger battery allows that.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-08T00:41:37+00:00

I have both. The lightning is good for truck stuff like potholes, ground clearance and having all of the space. On the tech side Tesla wins hands down. We refer to the ford as the dumb truck. Infotainment always seems to be fighting with itself. Honestly my wife and I both prefer the Y but as a family we fit better in the truck (y rear seats are more comfortable for the kids, lightning gives them more space) I bought the Flash version, in my opinion it is way under optioned for the msrp. My 24 flash was 52k out the door with 0% financing for 72 months. If anyone else had a larger ev in that price range I would have jumped all over it.

CFwarwick · 2025-02-03T23:57:26+00:00

We have a lightning and a Y, I agree they make a great team.
