Where would I be able to find the repair manual like the one you have printed out there?

Looks great 👍🏽

Thank you for creating the video. I assume the manual additions do not precondition the battery?

Thanks im glad you posted this before I did my swap If I follow these wiring instructions does this mean I do not need to make any connections to the fuse panel since it will connect to my headlights directly?

why not use pin extractors instead of cutting?

What is the correct part number to get that harness that hooks uo to the headlights?

Do you have any radio interference with it

Nice!!

Looks Great! I have a Platinum but it has chipped so much (only at 7 miles) and no interstate driving. What's crazy is Ford has chrome underneath not the typical PTM base.

Awesome work, I need 2024 lightning flash rear tail light clips, ford says not available on the planet. I guess i am S.O.L UGH!

In a lightning facebook group with you that led me to all of your videos. After a spending the day watching all of them related to the lightning, I first wanted to thank you so much for the content. Unfortunately, I have a very similar story. Preorder the lightning, waited for over 2 years, finally received my truck and loved mostly everything about it. About 5 months back I was in an unfortunately accident that left my 2023 F150 lightning totaled (even though I do not believe the damage is that extensive). After months of back and forth and an ongoing legal battle my insurance is also refusing to pay even though I have full coverage. I just got my totaled truck back a few weeks ago and would love if I could possibly get in contact with you to discuss my issue further. Thanks again!

Oh well, unfortunately there aren’t any Tesla chargers on the Big Island of Hawaii where I drive my Ford F150 Lightning….maybe someday?

I really like your videos.. thanks for doing them. I purchased a new 2023 Lightning back in April. I love learning how the trucks work and go together. Lightning is a great vehicle. I'm a contractor who lives in so cal. Average 2.8 kwh since my purchase.

Wow. Great job. Looks better than factory. Looking forward to your next video on rebuilding the lightning.

LMAO, dude. Do I need to take a college class to learn this method? I guess you didn't say it was going to be easy. But your method is a complete joke.

Or just use your phone….

How hard would it be to make a lightning expedition from a wrecked lightning?

Is this the one for the combat Marine veteran?

Yessss a new Martin Rebuilds video

Beautiful job!

Great video!

Very interesting series. If I could make a suggestion. When you have the music going it’s much louder than the regular audio when you are talking. Causes me to have to constantly turn the tv up and down since the music is so much louder. If there is a way during editing to even them out they would be awesome. 😁

How difficult would this be for the average joe?

Wondering, when will Ford install a proper "road trip planner," like or similar to Tesla, Rivian or Mercedes? Thank you for sharing, very helpful.

I saw a rebuilt Lariat for sale and it looks good, but I'm worried about issues getting it registered and insured. Do rebuilts have issues getting registered and insured? Thanks..

Great video. Way too complicated for me though. Lol

any update on the ford?

Conclusion: keep your EV local and buy or rent a gas vehicle for long trips lol that might make more sense

In terms of the hose clamp potential recall issue, I hope you are going to add some additional protection at that point, and/or a clamp between the two hoses to keep them rubbing together.... Just my, two cents on it, that I'm sure you've already thought of....

Thoroughly enjoying the extensive rebuild process. But it begs the question, did you consider doing any type of mods to it besides turning the hose clamp. Especially, since you're a current owner and an engineer. I know I could think of a few dozen LOL, good luck with the rebuild.

I have found Apple CarPlay maps to be more reliable for trip planning. Always seems to arrive within 2-5% of prediction. And you can enable Tesla superchargers in the Apple map settings.

15:20 EV prices are dropping so fast you might get a good used tradesman version for the salvage cost at this point. (and so salvage cost should also be dropping alot)

Charging Fiasco, maybe load a 50kw+ gen set in the bed of truck.

Lived in Florida back in the 90s and it was the "land of the scam" even back then so business ppl there are extremely cautions of others pulling scams. Its a difficult place because of all the shady scammers. ....................and yea hellofa long drive from KS

Isn't the Cab the same as the standard Aluminum F150 ? seems like the damage area is generically available F150 items locally available anywhere. If EV powertrain damaged that's more compilated for sure.

With any luck Ford OEM will upgrade/update software to more efficiently add Tesla (and other) charging locations. THis work-arounds are way too cumbersome these days.

Where did you find a replacement Frame? another Wreck or from OEM?

What's the point of rebuilding this?

When you put the battery back in what is the computer looking for? Could I swap in a higher capacity battery later down the road? I assume in a couple years there will be more energy dense cells and faster charging cells. I'm just curious thinking of getting a lighting since there are so many incentives for one plus 0% financing🤔 but I like to mod stuff and a bigger battery would be on the list once the battery tech catches up. Thanks for your time 🍻

Audio is great

Wow that is a lot of work! We are going to do a 2500 mile round trip in my 2023 Lightning standard range and this is super helpful thank you. I'm going to play with it based upon how you showed it working so I can plan well in advance and your tutorial gives me a great head start.

World genius record F150 Lightning man. Love watching his wvork video❤

One man show doing all the amzing work in F150 lightning, i think you sre only the person in this world know every corner of lightning, put in genuine world record year 2024 F150 lightning man.❤

Amazing work, tones of work, I am learning from your video. Thanks a lot.

I believe @mscartee asked my exact question lol however i still need it dumbed down for me. I Bought a Ford Lightning XLT SR, it did not come with a charger, the dealer offered to throw one in from their inventory that was from a new 2024 Mach-E.... Will this work on my truck just fine?

I just discovered that the "Trip" in the Ford navigation only lets you have 6 stops also. My trip is 8 stops. If you know your charge addresses, put the route into the truck in reverse order. This is what I used - Started with ABRP on the web, exported the stops to xls, then imported to Google "My Maps" and made a route with the stops. Android Auto has the entire trip and stops. Now I have a route I can save to the desktop (on the phone). One tap and the route is active. My problem with ABRP is that I made the trip in ABRP saved it, then tried to use it in the truck through Android auto. The phone app came up with a different path than what I just made on the web version. The real question is does the truck warm the battery for charging like the Tesla does when it knows it is approaching a DCFC? I had the CCS adapter for my Tesla and it did not know to start warming the battery for a CCS DCFC.

Thanks! Installed. While in there I also put a couple washers on the hood catch to raise the hood, now the hood and the fenders line up perfect.

Great video! I look forward to seeing the rebuild. Suggestion - When showing the temperature of something (charging plug or similar) also show or say the ambient temperature. A plug at 120F when it is 90F outside is fine, but is way overheating if its only 40F outside... Anyway, cool that you are helping rebuild this truck.

So This is great to know if you want to charge another vehicle off your vehicle. Here is my question, I bought my truck from dealership (they had the mobile charing cable missing) I asked for it and they brought me one that th epart number didn't match the empty bag that was in my truck. I asked if it was the right one they said yes. I am pretty certian mine doesn't have the yellow tape on the adapter; however, I don't care about charging another car from the bed of my truck, i only care about charging my truck itself, which can handle a full forty amps in the charge port of the truck. So if that is all i want to use it for I am better off IF I have the mach e charger right?

been with tesla since my 2012 model s in 2016 . The real joy was my 2016 in in 17. The nav just worked even back then. When you showed us the automatic and it was routing you to level 2 chargers i was WTF! Like you i now have a 23 lighting Lariat big battery and am loving it but the nav is such a POS. I bought it from a dealer 400 miles away and had to do my own nav all the way home as it was trying to get me to very slow chargers along the way. Thanks God i had the lectron adapter so i was able to use 2 tesla stops in route for quick top offs. Ford really needs to get its stuff together with the nav! its horrific. Now to be honest this thanksgiving we will take our f150 from OK to AL and i will be using tesla all the way there and back. Its amazing how spoiled i am having been with a tesla for the past 8 years. Just works. The only reason i got the f150 was because it can use the NACS network. Had it not i was going with a Rivian. Your video here was awesome and thank you! But it should figure this crap out by itself. Again my tesla has been doing it since 2016 ( probably earlier!) EA is just such a crap shoot if its going to work or not. Chargepoint normally works but they are so slow! Anyway... thanks for this. I tend to just input one at a time but i hope ford sees this video and in utter shame they fix it to where its smarter .
