Ah, ok. just missing IPC did sound weird. I’m glad you got it working !

I’m good with all but the bolded part. I think Ford tried to lead “an EV insurrection” against ICE vehicles, charged out in front with their fancy new franchise agreement, etc. and everybody was a bit taken aback. Almost nobody bit. Ford is investing, but they overplayed their hand, over...

I want to be your audiologist. ;-)

EVERY Ford/Lincoln I have been in is 1) the first to dim high beams in any given situation 2) the last to turn on the high beams in any given situation. 3) it’s not new, has been that way since at least ’17 and probably before. 4) the only thing it seems to not pickup is an OLD car or truck off...

I see what you’re saying here. I’ll agree, Ford is looking to future sales with the electric offerings, but I do still stand by the failing description. They’re not profitable in the current form. They’re not technologically mature enough to make them as practical as ICE power plants. The...

2.3.64 should be able to see and update the IPC. I have a May ’24 build Dark Horse and at first I could see, but not update the IPC, had to upgrade to 2.3.62 or 63 I believe. I tried swapping cables, etc and that made no difference.

I’m suggesting that “robbing Peter to pay Paul”, in essence, is a business strategy where you prop up a failing business unit - EV’s by increasing prices on your successful business unit - Think F150’s. I know there are not a lot of F series trucks relatively in Europe... Texas probably has...

wait overnight. OTA updates don’t apparently go all at once. The last one I got came in one night. next day I get the notification by ford pass. Next drive, I see the update on the center screen notification. So far, so good. Next drive, my colors and alarm setting was reset, but custom...

Things don’t seem expensive, they ARE expensive. Being very close to the oil industry, things have cascaded or perhaps “snowballed” as a result of artificially high fuel costs incurred starting in January, 2021. When US states like West Virginia start paying 1/2 European fuel costs, things...

I had a BMW lose brakes on Susten pass; abs fault, and I was coming _down_ the pass. Module threw a fault and apparently during that fault you lose all brakes for a period of time, which seems like an eternity, but in reality was probably only a few seconds. So when that fault went away...

The Raptor and Mustang are subsidizing the losses taken by the Ford EV program. The Mach E has outsold the ICE Mustang because Ford is selling the Mach E at a loss on every unit. We may not have an EV, but who’s getting the last laugh; Us for having the cooler car or them for having us pay...

I thought I read somewhere that they do (lose money on the Mach E). It wouldn’t be surprising, motorcycle companies do it on some models; typically the ‘win on sunday, sell on monday’ type models. here is motor1 from earlier in the year...

Well... The market, is in relatively poor health. Bank interest rates are significantly impacting the purchase of ‘fun’ cars that sacrifice practicality. None of us need a Mustang or Dark Horse, we want them. Ford is SIGNIFICANTLY discounting the Mach E, making the purchase more attractive...

IDK how many miles you have on those Trofeos, but I can tell you that once the ‘stick’ starts to drop off, it starts gradually, then falls off a cliff. I nailed it on 410 outside San Antonio to pass some plodding tractor trailer at about 60 mph and _spun_ the crap out of the rear tires. It was...

Late to the party and I’ll definitely be leaving before cleanup, but... THIS: is where the problem began. You NEVER leave the lot OR sign until everything is accounted for by either being in your possession or with an actual “we owe” document. NEVER. Do you leave duty without pay from pay...

There’s the recurring problem with colors, ambient lighting, etc. getting reset. This is on the rare side, and some have reported that getting rid of their custom profile settings helped. There’s also the issue of the modules getting reset to factory when the OTA update hits and the subsequent...

I got one last week when they were on sale for $74.99. I think it work great ! ;-)

Yes. How much do you love the smell of burning oil? If you really love that smell, go forth and wrap your headers. It won’t be day one, or the first week, but sooner or later you will spill oil on one or both headers, now wrapped. now your car will burn that oil off seemingly forever...

Then in all likelihood it’s just condensation burning off, creating a steam cloud. The ecoboost F150’s are famous for this. But, it _could_ be coolant. Unlikely, but it could be. I don’t have a lot of experience with this; the only one I was up close and personal with, definitely smelled...

have them start and idle the car for 10 minutes and shut down. Wait at least 4 hours and restart. If I were a betting man, I’d wager they’d get the steam blow off previously seen. I don’t think it will be blue. But, if you do get blue, not white ‘smoke’, they’ve got some work to do.
