  1. PB Can't Jumpstart when your 12V Battery Goes Bad

    Evening, gents. Just came here looking for company for my misery to see if other Job1/Job2 2021's have reached the end of life on their LV batteries in their powerboosts... I've been getting "LV battery reporting low" for a few months now in my Ford Widget, but since I have a PB I know it will...
  2. Is BlueCruise subscription transferable?

    Bumping this... I just re-upped in December for 3yrs for $600 ($200 per year as promised in 2021 when we got our Job1 trucks). I am selling my '21 Powerboost. I really want to know if it truly stays with the VIN because that is a MAJOR thing I can list on my sale description. "Includes 3...
  3. Powerboost with no generator?

    Well I wasn't worried, I believe I was trying to help other people here that were extremely concerned about every option's weight. I went with the 7.2k. Also many folks WOULD get a Superduty if they had the 7.2kW as an option. It was mentioned many times on here how that is the dream setup...
  4. Google Maps not loading consistently..

    Well, I came here to see if others are experiencing a blank/black google maps and found a workaround. My workaround when maps comes up blank is to switch screens (such as over to ford nav) and back. Had worked 100% of the time. Just the past few days now the workaround doesn't work. I am...
  5. To those who plan to order or have ordered and have questions...

    Oh man, forgot all about this thread! I've used my extender many times the past 3 years, it's been no problem without a peg hole. Still going strong!
  6. 4.3.3

    Oh good! Maybe it will finally fix how the power tailgate setting is "forgotten" or ignored entirely sometimes. When I hook up my trailer, one of the things in my mental checklist is to turn off power tailgate and set it to manual so I can rest it against my tongue jack, otherwise it hits my...
  7. How 4A mode works?

    Wow! I'd never heard of or seen a wheel lock like that (family never had a truck). So my '21 KR has the IWE and your '22 KR doesn't? That's such a random functional thing to drop in a model year (that isn't cosmetic). Us early job1's may have gotten the shaft in some areas but at least we got...
  8. How 4A mode works?

    I hope you're right! I would def use it more, knowing it engages all the time and not in "when needed" mode. I have only been turning it on when it is rainy or sandy/gravelly. Would love to use it more knowing that I paid for it and it works as AWD.
  9. How 4A mode works?

    So my understanding all along has been the "old 4A" description you just gave. Now I'm interested in what you are calling old vs new? Is it Gen13 vs Gen14? Or is it model year '21 vs '22? I have a '21 Powerboost and understood it to be the "old 4A" all along, but the "new" sounds more...
  10. electrical question for HOUSE

    Depending on the power supply design (AC to DC converter) it may have a fixed switching frequency that causes your interference. When the switching frequency is in the kHz range it is often audible, and when it is in the RF range, it can interfere with communications. I doubt there is anything...
  11. Gas Mileage pretty bad pulling a trailer

    TL;DR version: '21 Powerboost FX4 pulling 7500# GVWR TT, I am getting lifetime 10.5mpg, some trips as low as 9mpg and some nearly 12mpg, depending on wind and elevation loss/gain. Longer version: I use cruise control extensively whenever possible as the computer is far more efficient than a...
  12. My Zeigler Experience / ESP + Maintenance Plan

    When I got mine in '21 I remember using Flood and looking at the table and noticing the non-linearity and strange step functions like this. I plotted in excel to visualize it and couldn't figure out their formulas but some real thought and data must have gone into it! Pretty sure I settled on...
  13. Can 2021 models have Trips and MPG display on the center screen?

    Job1 powerboosts did not but other engines did. I believe it was an oversight. I added trips card and fuel economy card. I later removed the fuel economy one because it was too far to see and only had a few hashmarks resolution. Trips is great but is limited to trip1/2, you can't do This Trip...
  14. 7.2KW ProPower for Off-Grid Cabin

    I feel that's been lost as well. I'm still curious how a transfer switch allows the OP to preserve the original funtionality, and not defeat the whole purpose. It's not "generator OR inverter" it is "generator to inverter that has bypass and charge capability"
  15. PowerBoost MPG mileage averages?

    In addition to the threads on here, you can check the user community data on Fuelly dot com. Looks like 161 users track their powerboost stats on there, here is a histogram of the lifetime averages. Of course lifetime average will include city, highway, towing, modifications, and all 4 seasons.
  16. 7.2KW ProPower for Off-Grid Cabin

    I agree it *should* be an open circuit based on the documentation of the Magnum, I was just curious if he checked that the initial install din't bond it somewhere outside the panel. The fact his propower test with the ground unbonded in the panel worked supports that it was the only place it...
  17. 7.2KW ProPower for Off-Grid Cabin

    I have learned a ton from this thread. The biggest learning is that no 2 experts agree with each other :ROFLMAO: j/k What I'm super duper curious about is when the OP removes the bare ground from the neutral bus inside his panel, if neutral and ground is ohmed out is it zero? There seems to...
  18. 7.2KW ProPower for Off-Grid Cabin

    I can't wait to hear how this saga ends! How long without a reply from the OP before we call 911?
  19. 7.2KW ProPower for Off-Grid Cabin

    I have a better guess! Stared at the pic more and I think that top right screw has a black (hot) going to it as well. I think it's feeding a 120v circuit in the house, and the screw is just a casing screw. I see now i think the bonding screw I drew a cyan arrow to. I think unscrewing that and...
  20. 7.2KW ProPower for Off-Grid Cabin

    What a rats nest! Well here is my guess: According to the labels in the inverter box, the blue is neutral, black and red must be hots. In the subpanel the blue goes to the neutral bus bar on the right. All the neutrals are now white. The bare grounds all tie and jump on the left. The screw in...
