Has anyone replaced the muffler on their Mav for a "more pleasing sound"? I'm not talking about a cat-back system, just the muffler. I'm thinking of taking it to a shop that I have used in the past. I want to also have a splitter exhaust tip like the '64 Pontiac GTO. I had a similar setup...

Has anyone heard about this new Maverick recall? It has to do with the dash breaking into shards of plastic during an accident and when air bags deploy. It's supposed to apply to SOME 2025 & 2026 Mavericks. I checked with NHTSA using my VIN number but no new recalls came up.

Hey Sarg, Thanks for posting your track day experience. Looking forward to your handling improvements and results. And thanks for posting the "Motorsportreg" web address.

I took my Mav to the dealer that I purchased it from to ask about the radiator and fan recall. The service manager, after reading over the recall notice, she said that they couldn’t do the recall unless the truck showed the Diagnostic Trouble Code (P1285 – engine coolant overtempt). Then she...

Thanks for the update. Now I know what to expect. I'll have the dealer order the parts and THEN set up the appointment (they said the parts are one day away).

Ditto, what he said.

Did you watch the video?

How can you tell if you have the transmission cooler??

Not being a HYBRID owner I didn't know this but I thought I should pass it on. Interesting and informative video. Worth a watch. I didn't know there was an oil made especially for HYBRIDS.

Has anyone had their rad, fan & trans cooler replaced / installed under recall 25B34?

I like the idea of making a separate piece to cover the mounting hardware. OR How about changing the M6 hex head screws to stainless steel M6 button head for 4mm Allen wrench? That will certainly slow them down. And the button head feature does not allow any grip to a pair of plyers. I know...

By stiffening up the rear sway bar you will lessen body lean which will also reduce camber change. On one of my old daily drivers, adding a stiffer rear sway bar also made the front tires wear more evenly. Any car is more fun to drive with less understeer. BTW, I liked your post about adding...

Many thanks to all who replied.

I don't know exactly what the difference is. I ordered some mud flaps 2 months ago from Amazon that were for a 2025 Mav. They didn't fit so I sent them back. My one star review stated they would not fit the LOBO.

Thanks, I appreciate it. Yes, that was exactly what I was trying to do.
