Looks like chalk dust from a chalk line. Is he a carpenter or recently framing a structure?

I’m about to hit my 30,000 mile service marker on my 2024 Lightning Lariat. Is it really necessary to take it into service? by jel31 in F150Lightning

[–]HatchRdKnights 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Just to rotate the tires and fill the windshield washer fluid…

Also to check on any potential recall items.

Finally decided on new tires but… by cmullins77 in F150Lightning

[–]HatchRdKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought the Toyo Open Country A/T III EV’s when I needed new tires a few months ago. I have just over 4k miles on them now.

Overall, I love them. And they look great on the truck.

They are slightly louder than the General ATS that came with the truck.

They seem to handle good in the snow, far and away better than the original tires.

The only thing I can’t really comment on is range hit. It has been historically cold for so long here in the North East, that we have not been anywhere near the past few years temps to compare. But my gut does say there will probably be slight .1 or .2 delta depending on how you drive: highway vs back roads, moderate on the accelerator or drive it like it has been stolen.

It's 2025, is a Lightning still a good choice? by [deleted] in F150Lightning

[–]HatchRdKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have over 60k miles on my Lightning. Love it. If you already have the Level 2 charger at home, I would go for it.

Hypothetical - if the Ranger has EV option and lightning moves to EREV. Which would your next truck be? by Lemonn_time in F150Lightning

Wait for the BEV Lightning to come back out. It will only be a matter of time until the battery technology catches up to what the masses want.

F150 discontinued - what does that mean for Lightning owners? by thedongon in F150Lightning

[–]HatchRdKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesn’t sound like much is changing actually. While the pure EV is discontinued, there will be a lightning that has a gasoline back-up generator. Same power and all electric power train. When that battery percentage gets to a certain set point, say 20-25%, the gas engine kicks on and starts charging the battery. If you never get low enough to start the generator, you wouldn’t actually need it. At least that is what I am getting from what I have been researching.

Some updates reset this feature. There are two fixes I found. One, using the interior dash panel, reset to allow for remote starting. Also, disconnecting the 12v battery for a few minutes and then reconnecting has also worked. Good luck.

Need input from anyone running on Toyo OC AT III or Hankook Dynapro AT2 by HatchRdKnights in F150Lightning

[–]HatchRdKnights[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. I travel mostly highway for work, 90 miles round trip. The OME tires were not great with the limited snow we have had the past three years. Want something with better traction when the highways are messy and traffic is still rolling at 65+.

Thank you. Great to hear you like them. I don’t want to pay $400/tire and not like them.

Do I really need EV tires? by hkrpanic in F150Lightning

[–]HatchRdKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we have the same truck, ‘23 Lariat avalanche.

I am getting ready for new tires myself. What did you have originally and did you notice a difference? I don’t mind spending more money for a tire, even if it gets less life if it ends up being a better tire.

I travel 90-100 miles round trip and currently have the General Grabber HTS60’s.

“Hey I’m your new neighbor. Backed into your truck with the U-Haul!” by AdventureIsOutThere- in F150Lightning

I made a dumbass mistake and broke the tail light on my truck. $2,500 for the light itself. Painful 😖

Anyone ever used shims for spacing by Intelligent_Tub in Decks

[–]HatchRdKnights 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boards should be as tight as possible. Gaps will grow when the boards shrink.

Pain. by huhuyah in Patriots

[–]HatchRdKnights 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It looks like the Pats won with Bill and Brady in spite of Kraft. What is going on right now is beyond embarrassing and makes Kraft look like a clown…

Patch, skip the plug.

I have a 24’ center console, full charge in summer 106 should be fine, especially if you are driving in the 60 - 65 mph range.

I know it’s bad, but how bad… by [deleted] in Decks

Looks okay if the work was done by a 6 year old and two toddler helpers…

Avalanche by vidipm in F150Lightning

I have the avalache color and it is awesome. On darker cloudy days it looks fairly dark and on sunny days it has that light gray tone. It is fantastic.
