Loss of power 2022 Badlands

I’ve been noticing an acceleration lag recently in my 2022BSBL 55,000 miles. For instance, when needing to pass on the highway, I press the accelerator, and it takes a beat or two before there’s a response. I hadn’t thought too much about it until three days ago, I had a more significant situation which caused me to think back on these acceleration lags. I do off-road in my BSBL, and while on a trail Friday, I was going over an obstacle- a steep, offcamber, rocky section. I had it floored…

Ambient Lighting install / enabling – WORKED!

Given the success we’re having on the forum with the projects, and thanks to the friends who help make them happen, we’re starting a new project!

Ford designed the BS with ambient lighting… But to save money, they never installed it!

The brackets on both the right and left sides are factory-installed.
In theory, it would just be adding the lights, wiring them, and run Fordscan.

But we know theory never works!

The lamp has three wires. Two are 12V (+) and -. The other is LIN. The only…

Why is agentic AI getting so expensive?

Companies are starting to realize that AI costs a LOT more than they expected. This is why providers have switched from a monthly subscription to token based. This video explains it very well, and should be an eye-opener.

My wife’s ‘23 Maverick has no issues communicating to our Ultra-Gauge to display multiple parameters, but my ‘25 BSSL will not communicate

Thanks
