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

    not sure if this is strange or not, but I'll ask- I'll preface by saying the last PU update I had was in January 2023. I'm pretty sure that update added Full Screen. Which is cool. Several months ago I checked in on the VIN look up thread, @rugedraw checked my VIN. He said my truck was way...
  2. Factory battery ongoing issues

    Curious if the fan 5 trick helps with ICE only trucks? I've had 3 incidents of "battery saver mode" in 19 months. The truck was less than a year old for the first one, after sitting for 7 days. I've been reading the posts since, but have just been putting it on a charger when I know it's going...
  3. California Proposal To Limit Speeds To 10 Over Speed Limits!

    lol... That explains why I always seem to be surrounded by fucking morons when I am driving. I was beginning to think it was something much more simple, my truck is an idiot magnet.
  4. Finally they got us turned on a RURAL HIGH SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET

    Comcast Business is a different animal. And all that marketing crap drives everyone crazy. Take a nibble on a piece of bait..... still cannot just get an answer to most basic technical questions. I merely pointed out that 35 Mbps max is not true (for residential). All good, man.... Everyone...
  5. Finally they got us turned on a RURAL HIGH SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET

    AT&T's Gb symmetrical service is not available in all areas. Nor is the $55 300 up and 300 down plan. I don't doubt 35Mb up could be the limit of the Comcast system in your area. The SE US is known as Classic Comcast. Way different than the West or other parts of the US. Level of service...
  6. Finally they got us turned on a RURAL HIGH SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET

    No idea on the media converter cost. And what you said about balancing software costs against fiber deployments, both good questions. Last I heard and when I gave a shit about it, Comcast is deploying RPHY as one of their strategies. No proprietary CMTS. Use off the shelf hardware, but use in...
  7. Finally they got us turned on a RURAL HIGH SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET

    I did not see your other post. "Furthermore GPON's deployment doesn't need to truck back to central, it's 20km from the OLT which are easy to put in even a small cabinet. Yes, when I said central location, I meant the location of the OLT and optical filter. Not the Headend or hub. "I'm...
  8. Finally they got us turned on a RURAL HIGH SPEED FIBER OPTIC INTERNET

    Not that it matters to OP, or anyone else for that matter, but I think you mixed two different technologies in your statement. I'm referencing OP's statement "massive fiber putting the ground ". No coax is mentioned. An amplifier every 500' is old school HFC (Hybrid Fiber Coax). And that...
  9. LFR: Back seat cover for dogs.

    Found this one on Chewy, one of the first things I got for the truck when I got it. FRISCO Water Resistant Bench Car Seat Cover, Regular, Black - Chewy.com Don't have a picture of it installed in truck with my dog. Cheap, and easy to install. Only takes a few minutes to put in. Has slots for...
  10. I bought my nephew NEW Platinum Powerboost for Christmas

    Nice, it's a two seater! So cool. We bought a red two seater Jeep for our oldest son when he was about 3 (he's 27 now). He went through a battery and a couple of the plastic tires before his younger brother got to it. Then he did the same thing. We live about 150 yards from a school with a...
  11. Do you REALLY NEED 4×4?

    This, to all the above ^^^ Cost is a consideration. 4x4 is what, a $4k add now? Only you can answer that for you. My $.02 worth- Did I need 4x4 in my new F150? The weather where I live is not any issue ever other than rain. And I don't go off road or explore generally. So, no, I don't need it...
  12. About done with Ford (Paint Peeling)

    Yes, they did. 10 months and 8800 miles after purchased. The work order shows: "Customer states there is a paint defect located on the roof. Customer requests estimate". The at the bottom under Repair, it shows: Confirmed customers concern, found paint defect on roof of vehicle. Contacted...
  13. About done with Ford (Paint Peeling)

    yeah, sure does blow. Sorry you have to experience that @AnthemMike. I had a paint issue on the roof, but never got to posting about it. Certainly not intending to grind you since Ford isn't fixing your problem, but here is what happened to me. Sorry, long winded..... My truck is a '22 Space...
  14. Request VIN Lookup Thread

    Hello Selfless Helpers Of All, I've been watching this thread, so cool of everyone so willing. Mere words can't quantify the amount of thanks you are due- But, thank you! Bought the truck in August '22, got an OTA update on Jan. 31 '23. Last time I checked several months ago it looked like my...
  15. Spare Tire orientation

    I hope I don't jinx myself here, but I do not remember when the last time was that I got a flat and had to use the spare tire on any vehicle. And that goes for my work trucks, wife's car and two kids cars as well. On the order of 25+ years at least. I do admit I am a bit of a planner, though. I...
  16. 19 year old and a parking garage bollard = $8K in damages

    I might be too protective as well. My wife has not earned (pronounced "been granted") full clearance to drive my truck by herself yet. But hey, it's only just over year old! My son is moving in a couple months and we were discussing the logistics as I'm going out of town around moving time. My...
  17. Dealer Service Dept Can't Get Truck to Validate VIN

    LOL- "It isn't what you want it to be. It is what it is". I guess you win both?
  18. Oil Changes are a PITA with this engine

    Interesting drain plug but what keeps wheel valve from spinning and all your oil draining out? The friction on the threads I suppose. Would have to ask an enjinear. It's not that easy to spin, the video looked a little misleading to me. I checked mine after a few hundred miles after initial...
