  1. Winter came a little late this year. Was heading to work and hit some snow. Obviously for you east coast people this is nothing but we don't drive in much snow over here so it was different. Car did quit well actually. Only drove in a few inches but was impressed.
  2. I changed mine at 6500. First oil change. Figured I'd clean out the initial deposits. Then I plan on every 10k
  3. My other rig. 2008 f350 lariat 6.4 powerstroke Decent amount of stuff done. Right around 600whp right now. Spartan tuning Dpf delete 4" straight pipe Intake Sinister intercooler piping Ats fully built stage 3 trans Studded arp motor Injectors soon 20x9 wrapped in nittos
  4. Yes that's correct. Had them in for a bit. It's so much nicer to drive at night. Incredible difference. Especially being able hip run the highs too.
  5. Yes. I drive a lot at night. I live in the country (drive out where there are no lights on windy roads a lot) and honestly miss the lightbar on my truck. They are brighter than stock for sure. They look a lot better as well. I was gonna check on re aiming hem. They are much brighter but just like the stock light aim at the ground so 30 feet out there is nothing. Great for city driving but not when you in the middle of no where. If you don't have them def do it. Very easy install as well.
  6. Got them installed 2 35w 4500k. Perfect color. They look more yellow in the pic but they are white. I wired it like the guide on the hybrid forum and it's great because you can run fogs with the high beams but sucks cause the fogs are always on with the headlights. Wish I replaced the drl with LEDs as they are more yellow than the hids now and stand out. Did you guys convert to led? What ones did you get. I really liked how well the front came off of these cars. Ford did a good job
  7. I've noticed a lot of rattles in this car. I think we notice it more because in electric mode it's silent. With that being said I noticed if the bass is turned up the door panals rattle. Anyone else notice this? I had a super annoying rattle in the back and folded the seats down and took the fabric off the back behind them and it was rubbing on the metal. I put some towels back there and no more noise. Will ford fix rattles or will they just say it's because of bass? I mean I don't listen to very loud music.
  8. Ok. Yeah I read the same thing. I'm a 2015. I was just wondering what error thing to order from ddm. They have two. I've installed tons of these on past cars and friends but none we're this new
  9. I saw that. Seems pretty straight forward. I'll be ordering 2 35W H11 kits, but I heard that some people needed the error eliminators. On the ddm site there are a Bow3 listed and a capacitor. Do we need both? Just wanted to order everything needed.
  10. So, the headlights suck on this car. I live in the country and drive it on dirt roads (yes probably one of the few). But the headlights are straight dangerous. I was wondering what you guys thought on the 55W hide. Is that going to take much more power from the battery than the 35w? Id like to get distance but if that amount of power is trivial id probably going with more light. I don't really care about blinding people as most people around here drive with light bars or baja off road lights. Also I saw on the other posts everyone had them installed. Is it difficult on this car? I have installed them on other vehicles but never had to deal with problem lights or anything. Teal
  11. I didn't hear anything about it when buying the car but is there one? 2015 fusion energi.
  12. I wanted to follow up on this. I just picked the car up and they replaced the battery control module (FM5Z 10B687). I charged and drove the car and noticed two things. First off the problem never came back, so thats good. But, I also noticed my range is significantly increased. I was happily surprised.
  13. Just heard back from the dealer and it's the battery regen control module. They are ordering another one.
  14. I have a super odd problem. Charged car up to almost fully charged and left work. Went down a rather large hill and when the battery fully charged it came up with an exclamation point saying "pull over safely". I did. Turned car off and back on and everything was fine. Drove about 30 miles went down another big hill and when the battery hit 19 miles same thing. This time it through an engine light too. Turned car off and back on and drove to the dealer which was closed. Anyone heard of this? I have an appointment Monday
  15. Black was a poor choice of words. Diesels get black the second you put it in. In the crv It was thick and about a qrt low. We actually dropped the pan and found sludge in the bottom.
  16. I knew about the computer but am skeptical. Bmw has "lifetime" trans fluid which is a joke. Lol. And I changed oil on a crv which has the computer. Said it needed a change at 22k and the oil was beyond black. Just curious whet you guys did.
  17. I am a big fan of changing oil often. I drive a powerstroke and people say to change every 7-10k and I still do it around 4k. It's not very expensive and motors love it. My question is, when do you guys change yours? Obviously depends how much electric driving you do. Do you guys use synthetic?
  18. So, I opted for the warrantee on the pant/interior. I got it for a song (worked it into the sale essentually free). It's called Zurich glass coat. Supposed to help. Was curious on your guys thought and input on this. I got the leather one too. Was gonna ask if they would wax it after.
  19. So using the grade assist button will achieve the same thing as slightly applying the brakes to charge the batteries?

    my new car

    I have the same car (color and everything) I love it. I'm very impressed how it handles. Welcome to the forum. I'm new myself.
  21. I've been using a light foot. Appears climate kills the ev mode battery. Been running the gas at first to heat up the car. Then ev mode. Then ev later when I hit the hills, and then ride the brakes (lightly) down to charge. I wish this had the engine brake feature like the prius to charge the batteries. Any other tips. I love the car.
  22. No. My f350 was my daily. Was putting 3-4k a month on it and diesel was killing me. I'm a contractor so needed a truck but not everyday. Loving the energi so far. Really a great car. I wonder if I'm the youngest on here. Just turned 24. Any tips or tricks. I have like 200 miles on it. Charge it over night.
  23. Hey all, My names Teal and I just picked up my 2015 Fusion Titanium guard. I love it. Looks wonderful and gets pretty good mileage from the 120 miles I have driven it. What mpg do these get real world? Anyone else in the Humboldt county CA area? My other ride is a 600hp 6.4 F350. Kind of polar opposites with this car, but I love it as my daily. Teal
