  2. Power-Up and Priority OTA History Thread (F-150, Lightning, Mach-E)

    It looks like someone involved with Ford Lightning and Mach-E vehicles has started tracking PowerUp updates on GitHub. They have listed this update ECG-24.2.4.9 and a later -1 version. https://github.com/elmedico27/fordpowerup I also just received the ECG-24.2.4.9 update on my 2023 Powerboost...
  3. What tools do you keep in your truck?

    In addition to the multi-tool wrench and socket kit, blanket, safety markers, first aid kit, window exit breaker tool and a fuse kit, I carry a LCD digital multi-meter. Even an inexpensive multi-meter is better than none...
  4. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    I'm not sure I'd call a major paradigm shift in the way something as important as our transport is built, insignificant... I've never seen a vehicle as internally complex as these new Gen14 Fords. As it's serving a purpose - and my truck has been stable and runs well I'm satisfied so far...
  5. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    I'd actually like them to finish engineering the technology before shipping it to customers. The problem is that they are all competing with the other companies, and since they refuse to collaborate on common core layers of technology (differentiating on features) they all end up building the...
  6. I'm DONE with OTA updates !

    The thing is... (and I'm not working for Ford), the vast majority of what makes your Ford truck run down the road today is engineered in software. It still has much of the metal we all expect and are used to, but it's controlled by stuff that we can't typically touch, see, feel or manipulate...
  7. Brake trailer module fault

    Which connection? I also am getting the warning intermittently.
  8. How much is Ford spying on us?

    In today's world, social media like Facebook, Twitter and forums have conditioned us to give up our privacy for a variety of benefits. The Insurance industry knows this and is relying on this in order to implement these surveillance approaches to risk rating. The use of these techniques will...
  9. A Bit of Perspective

    I'm on my 4th Ford F150 right now. First a 1985, then a 1993, 2019 and now a 2023 PowerBoost. They have all be great trucks that required basic maintenance until I sold them. There were a few issues with each. The 1985 rusted away in New York's salt infested winter roads, and the 1993 ran well...
  10. Where the Ford LOGO came from...

    I'm a student of industrial history (and recently edited the landmark book on the German industrialist Paul Mauser) so I find learning more about Henry Ford and his work fascinating. in the work on Mauser, I worked with two authors in Europe that have his original personal archives. The...
  11. Where the Ford LOGO came from...

    In case you have never seen where the Ford logo on the front of our trucks came from, here's something original from my family... In 1933, my father visited Dearborn, Michigan and toured the newly constructed Greenfield village (which was started in 1929), and specifically the restoration of...
  12. Nationwide AT&T outage

    It appears that right now, nobody is talking... https://abc7news.com/att-outage-att-service-down-why-does-my-phone-say-sos-customer/14456070/
  13. Ford demos next gen infotainment system

    I actually worked on the early implementations of all this in 1999... It's nice to see it all start coming into the marketplace. My group had developed a micro edition version of Java language and the virtual machine that executes it that could be transported to any number of different kinds...
  14. Improving garage door opener signal?

    Some of the Good Earth light have an FCC ID certification: https://fccid.io/2AUI9 It's likely that this one does. It has a metal case which would help suppress RF interference, and it's manual says it's part 15 compliant. The inexpensive bare LED bulbs that have plastic bodies probably emit...
  15. Improving garage door opener signal?

    Here is a bit more on LED bulbs and RF Interference. http://www.arrl.org/files/file/RFI/Light_Bulbs.pdf https://www.allstyledoor.com/blog/led-lights-cause-interference-garage-door-opener/ I'll do some testing with a spectrum analyzer, but it's not just the household LED bulbs that can cause...
  16. Improving garage door opener signal?

    if you are saying that your small garage door opener clipped to the visor will not open the door when you are sitting directly in front of the garage door, I am also seeing a similar problem with my 2023 PB F150. This may be caused by an artifact called "desense" that occurs when there is a...
  17. Upfitting for Amateur Radio Installation

    I did locate the Ford upfitter guide. https://prod-apis.onemagnify.com/bbas/download/50000076 On page 2-19 they show a B+ voltage access point at the battery under the rear seat, but this may be only available on the police version F-150 trucks. I'm curious about the other mounts and...
  18. Upfitting for Amateur Radio Installation

    I'm interested in any reference information that is available for helping me upfit my 2023 Powerboost F-150 XL for installation of a UHF mobile two way radio for amateur radio usage. It's about 50 watt output, drawing 5 amps when transmitting. I'll also need to mount a transmit antenna. This...
  19. New 2023 PB OTA update results in DTC P1674 in GWM

    No, not finding it reported before this way, I just wanted to make it known by what I had found when reading out the DTCs. The frustrating thing is that FordPass is reporting that my truck is connected via cellular from my home location (which has very poor cellular connectivity) even though...
