Wow, even with my F150 Lightning, I don't use 14kwh of electricity over a few days of camping, when using electric cookers, kettles etc. That would equate to 10.5% of the Extended Range battery. But I suppose you may be using AC or heaters? It seems like you'd be able to get by on fewer kwh's...
I think we're agreeing on the facts but not the actions and that's ok. Burning half a gallon extra per day (I think it's slightly more from personal experience but let's call it half) is a waste in my book (and also not pleasant for camping surroundings). So I choose not to.
I think it's playing in to the opposite conclusion. Wasting at least 8.5KWh per day on nothing is not what I call efficient. But now we know the facts everyone can make their own decisions for each trip. Running a fridge for a whole day should only use up 1KWh to 2KWh.
Keeping ProPower on to get AC power for the whole day (say, for a fridge) or to charge the low voltage battery, requires the vehicle being "on" which uses a constant 300W-400W having all the modules enabled. That'll use up the hybrid high-voltage battery in just a couple hours from vampire drain...
I don't think the amp controller will work with 14th gen running boards. The previous gen had the same controller style as AMP and we're interchangeable. But I heard that 14th gen are made by Magma and use a different sensor type. I feel like I remember someone in another forum saying the PRBs...
I put the cross bars at the minimum distance apart from each other that the bike rack instructions specified. That was to maximize head room in the bed.
There are a couple (actually many) of Drivers Seat Module (DSM) config values that control every aspect of the Power Running Boards, and could be changed via Forscan. Values 744-31-01 to 744-40-04. But to my knowledge noone has yet tried them. They mention things like stow or deploy "threshold"...
Well done finding 14th gen PRB take-offs. I searched everywhere and couldn't find any, so in the end had to reluctantly take them off my Powerboost and transfer to my Lightning.
If you mounted a 14th gen DSM controller as a PRB controller somewhere in your cab, it might just work to receive the...
I just purchased the 2-day FJDS/FDRS license for $50 and received the activation code. Yet when I enter it in FDRS all I get is the error "FDRS is not able to validate the license as entered" even though the code is definitely correct. Did anyone else get that issue?
Thanks @Buyer2021. Do you happen to have connector diagrams for those connectors on the DSM? I found the wiring diagram for the PRB as they pertain to the DSM but not the connector pins. Thanks!
IMO sport appearance package looks better than the BAP. Removes enough of the chrome but doesn't get aggressive and the wheels look a bit cheap on the BAP. But it's all subjective isn't it.
This truck is 1 year old and never had any issues, it drives perfectly. It's always been kept in the garage away from the elements. I polished and ceramic coated it (CSL + EXOv4) on receipt from the factory. It's amazing and one of the last ones to be built with some features that are missing...
Anyone know where this module is located exactly? Other forums suggest that 2018-2020 models, it was somewhere in the console and, prior to that, it was behind the rear seats. I can't see anything like a module in the center console, but perhaps it's under the cup holders...
You’re describing Ah for a battery but not being specific about voltage. I do in fact use a 536Wh LiFePO4 battery (this one) for a 110V fridge, so effectively 4.5Ah of which less than half is used to power the fridge for the night when ProPower isn’t running. The battery happens to be a...
