  1. Transmission fluid drain & refill at 10K miles - results for 2025 LOBO EcoBoost

    I drained a total of 5 quarts out of the transmission, reinstalled the drain plug with thread sealant, then added back in 2 courts of fluid with the level plug out. When fluid started coming out of the level plug to kind of flush any other junk out I poured in an additional 1/2 quart. I then...
  2. Transmission fluid drain & refill at 10K miles - results for 2025 LOBO EcoBoost

    Hello Everyone, I wanted to post my experience with doing a drain & refill on my LOBO, the results were a bit surprising. I'd highly recommend changing the fluid no later than 10K to get the break-in metals out of the transmission, I've posted videos here about my PTU and RDU which both...
  3. The Motor Oil Geek: Transmission and Gear Oil Change Interval / Frequency Analysis

    I thought I'd share some really good info here, backed up by testing. Change your oils early during break in, get that contamination OUT!
  4. PTU / RDU Oil Change Results @ 5K Mile Service (on 2025 Maverick LOBO)

    No problem and Thanks! :) It's taken some work to make it my Man Cave / Garage Combo.
  5. PTU / RDU Oil Change Results @ 5K Mile Service (on 2025 Maverick LOBO)

    I will absolutely change the PTU & RDU with the Transmission Fluid every 30K, I would hate to have it go out.
  6. PTU / RDU Oil Change Results @ 5K Mile Service (on 2025 Maverick LOBO)

    I would absolutely recommend level so you get all of the fluid back into the RDU & PTU. Heck, now that I think about it, jacking up the rear only would allow you to slightly overfill it which probably wouldn't hurt.
  7. What did your maverick replace?

    Thank you sir! :D That Truck is originally from South Carolina, the previous owner didn't take care of it so I've been rebuilding it as I go.
  8. PTU / RDU Oil Change Results @ 5K Mile Service (on 2025 Maverick LOBO)

    After seeing a few posts on here and on YouTube, I decided not to wait and change the RDU / PTU oil at 5,000 miles on my 2025 LOBO. Photos and Videos below of my findings. TLDW/R = DON'T WAIT to change, or at least top-off your fluids in the PTU & RDU. For the life of me, I don't know why...
  9. What did your maverick replace?

    A 2018 Ford Edge SEL - We really loved it, but after 110K miles it had 2 transmissions and an engine replaced the Warranty was up and we weren't willing to roll the dice. Lucky I had a Ford Extended Warranty - Ford took care of me when things went bad without ANY pushback. Nowadays EVERY...
  10. Mods to the Lobo - First Post

    I've never really thought about selling them, not really wanting to do that... but there are services that 3D print things for a fee, here's the file I created so you can upload it to them. :)

    The Wheel Well Fillers and leaf boxes I 3D printed myself using my Bamboo Labs A1, I think that MABETT on Amazon has them though. Here's a link to his store (Not an affiliate link)...
  12. Mods to the Lobo - First Post

    Thanks! Have you thought about installing a small resonator? I've heard the Borla units (Ford Performance) are nice and mellow with a deep tone. I'm waiting to install any performance mods myself until they have the 2025 and up ECU's figured out, then I might do a Corsair Turbo upgrade...
