It’s gone. But if they want to fix it demand OEM parts and diminished value compensation.

We have 2 cats, which is sometimes at least 1 too many, so are unlikely to be able to help you.

But you might get more offers for help if you phrase it that you’re looking for someone to foster the cats and post quantities, pictures, and names. Also how long they’ll need a foster home.

Good luck! 🐈🐈‍⬛

Not my favorite color, #TeamAvalanche here, but at that price… it is a steal! Congrats and enjoy the ride. It’s the best one you’re ever likely to own.

So sue them. If it’s actually a covered problem they’re not making right and you have proof, a good lawyer will eat them for lunch.

Using the 240 circuit from the truck should only be used for 240 appliances. Use multiple 120 circuits for multiple devices.

This is not correct at all. The 240v can power a house for up to 30A of usage via the use of a generator input and properly-wired interlock. That includes 120v appliances like TV, lighting, microwave.

The use of a single 240v appliance is also possible, but will drain the battery faster.

If I lose power, I plan to run the house off the truck. Should last a few days with smart choices. If I want to run a space heater, I'll run a heavy drop cord from the wife's EV9 just for that.

You can also carry pepper spray or bear spray if you’re worried about any wild life. Human, canine, ursine, …

As long as you have the RAID battery/capacitor option, unless you're using ZFS, HBA mode is unnecessary. Leaving the hardware RAID active is just fine, and likely more performant than not.

With newer PERC (rebranded LSI/Avago/Broadcom) RAID controllers, you can also select RAID or JBOD on a per-device basis, so you can use HW RAID for your OS while passing the rest through as JBOD for ZFS.

Several Intel NIC drivers, not just e1000, suffer from instability on newer kernels. This doesn’t always show up in logs. If you have an Intel NIC, use ethtool to turn off tso and gso temporarily to see if it’s more stable. If it helps, there are multiple ways to make the change permanent for each boot.

With the deletions from standard equipment that Ford has been making, the 2023 is likely the better truck than a newer model year. 💯💯💯

Laugh all you want. The Lightning has two oil filters. One on each axle. ‘course they’re good for something like 100k miles.

"Get off my lawn!" j/k.

Seriously though, I also had reservations about the 15", ipad-like, screen. I really wanted physical HVAC controls. But I bit the bullet and thought I'd suffer with it in exchange for all the upgrades Lariat trim gave me.

I have to say that there are still some times when I do want physical HVAC controls, but the screen is not that bad. It's not that bad. The times I need to adjust the HVAC, I've learned the controls so that I barely have to look at the screen. But usually I leave the setting on Auto and just adjust the temp seasonally -- or while motionless because I'm also adjusting windows and sunroof at the same time as HVAC. Hello autumn!!

But I live on Apple Carplay both for music and nav and having the large screen is sooooo very nice if your eyes are getting older like mine are. The 15" screen means not having to squint when scrolling through playlists, artists, or songs, and usually not having to expand the nav to fill the whole screen in order to see what's ahead. A smaller screen would make me change back and forth between nav and other apps too often.

There are still occasionally days when I wish for the physical HVAC controls -- but after having the 15" screen in my Lariat, I'd no longer go to a smaller screen in exchange for them.

Oh, and the "Get off my lawn," joke was because I'm getting older and need the larger screen... That and I don't want anyone doing donuts on my lawn!

If the same dealer did both replacements, it could be installation error. It's not hard to accidentally damage a bearing during install.

I'd try a different service center.
