2022 Premium AWD with extended battery, now just dozens of miles shy of 75,000 miles on the odo.
Over the past several weeks I noticed a weird subtle warble when accelerating. The low-pitch warble (more of a vibration thru the gas pedal than a noise, although both were present) was present in...
Folks,
I love getting stuff for free - free is a great price. However, with the growing use of EVs and the Tesla DC adapter's $230 replacement cost, plus its handy small size and its potential to walk away in vast parking lots especially after dark, I fabricated this locking plate...
In the interest of common knowledge as our new Tesla adapters begin to arrive across the community, I want to share what did not go perfectly during my 2d Tesla Supercharger event. I note that this charging event eventually resolved well.
I used two Tesla Superchargers twice now to test things...
So I got my new free Ford Tesla adapter today, and of course I tried it out. Everything on the charging end went very smoothly: Tesla owners were curious AND friendly, the charging was pretty darn fast (just charged for ten minutes to try it out), the Ford Plug & Play worked flawlessly...
BLUF: on my 2d purchase anniversary yesterday my Mach E' odo showed 70,004 miles. I'm the 1st owner.
What a great car this is! :cool:
Many multi-state trips, including Atlantic - Pacific. About 6 thousand miles towing a teardrop trailer.
Only failures, all under warranty and rapidly fixed:

I am selling my OBDLink MX+ to a good home. Great condition, works well. Used for FORScan mods for years.
Ping me with your offer... Your reasonable offer + USPS shipping cost to your zip code (or local pickup) and it's yours.
UPDATE: I now have three long distance interstate camping trips with the Mach E and the towed Pika teardrop camper trailer, for a total of about 5,700 miles. I just completed a Virginia - Tennessee - Georgia - Kentucky - Ohio - Pennsylvania camping trip of about 2,000 miles.
Dates: 03 May 2024...
To all the CANBUS Wizards out there...
I am looking for the best (most easily accessible) place to tap into the MS-CANBUS system, specifically the MS CANBUS grey/orange (+) or HIGH wire and the MS CANBUS violet/orange (-) or LOW wire.
I know these wires are accessible coming out of the GWM...
With credits to fellow forum member Su-Ch-MachE, I am now reading this interesting smart-charging website of Vector.com. There are multiple downloadable and free-order reference posters etc. here.
To my surprise, the proliferation of different AC and DC charging port / plug versions across the...
Folks,
Having survived and learned from over 16 thousand miles of long trips (those of at least one thousand miles or longer) in my Mach E, I put together this easy - to - store, easy - to - handle charging GO Box for non-standard EV charging. I'm sharing it here in case someone finds it...
Folks,
Several members had asked me how / where I got the white + red reflective WARNING stripes for my Mach E's HV side battery rails.
My intent was to make sure no tired helper / tow guy would ever just lift this car by its bottom battery rails without thinking 1st. Then we added the...
Having updated my anti-sway bars from Steeda to Eibachs, I have a spare new blue Steeda front endlink grease cap + its large and small end retainer springs.
This is such a teeny item I'll give it to a good home for the (likely inconsequential) shipping price. Interested members in the Wash DC...
POST-INSTALL UPDATE/REVIEW:
So the rear stainless steel brake lines went onto my Mach E about 800 miles ago.
I thought I could tell there was a difference, but... and of course with the weight transfer frontwards on any vehicle during braking, I knew the real test would be only with all four...
I got around to installing the LED strobe + high frequency buzzer to ward off any Kentucky mice during my habitual Winter visit to Louisville.
- Ground spade under the ground body post... easy-peasy. Right there under the (previously installed) 2 inch plug cover.
- Positive spade under the...
Folks, my teen nephew and I just completed a five-week 7,200+ mile road trip from New York City to California.
No we didn't kill each other. Yes, our extended range Mach E performed flawlessly, even during four 113-MPH runs at the Bonneville Salt Flats ?
Yes my European nephew now understands...
DIY – How to install the Ford OEM Mach E rear fog light.
WHY: to diminish or perhaps eliminate the chance of a rear-end collision in fog, in very heavy rain and in certain misty types of snowfall, or in any similar conditions of obstructed visibility on the road.
TIME TO INSTALL: this project...
Folks,
I happen to have a schematic for the pinouts of the BCM. However, the circuit schematic is not the same thing as a locator map. I am specifically trying to locate physical pinouts #66 and #67. One of these two pinouts controls the reverse rear center light and (kinda obviously) these...
So, in prep for a major cross-USA trip with a 14-year old boy, I figured I'd test the frunk as an ice cooler for when we camp during the trip.
On Tuesday evening I emptied the frunk of its haphazard assortment of stuff, went to a grocery store and loaded it up with ice. It took 5 bags of ice...
Folks across the Big Pond,
Several of us here in the USA have become aware of a set of two small Ford OEM brackets available in European Ford dealerships, but completely unavailable here in the USA.
The Ford part numbers are LJ8B - R550A74 - AB for the set of two brackets, LJ8B - R550A74 - A...
