I just matched the new light wires to the old light wires. My splice wires just happened to be red white and green so I use those. The color doesn't matter as the new wires match the old wires.
MPG Correction Tutorial
If your Ford Maverick displays an inaccurate MPG, you can correct it by adjusting the AFE bias in Engineering Test Mode. After calculating my truck's MPG at the pump, I discovered the displayed MPG indicated a value approximately 1.2 MPG higher than the actual value...
I just called my dealer, and Ford's official recommendation is to change the 8F35 transaxle/transmission fluid at 150,000 miles, with the service costing around $260. Does this 150,000-mile interval seem realistic, or should the fluid be changed sooner for normal driving? I had originally...
The Viofo A139 Pro 2ch and Viofo A229 Pro 2ch are both great cameras and I have had them both in my Maverick. I recently upgraded to the A229 Pro 2ch and love it. 4K front, 2K rear, and great parking mode options. I paired the A229 with a PowerCell 8 dash Cam battery pack and I couldn't ask for...
The Problem
For the past month or two, I've noticed the FordPass app hasn't been working well at all. I could not control any of my truck's features or see its location on GPS.
I called Ford and the rep stated that there are known issues with the older software versions having connectivity...
Ford determined it was normal. All of the F-150's I looked at on the lot had the same issue. So, I'm assuming it's normal. It hasn't been a problem so far. We'll see how it shakes out in a few years.
I didn't really notice a difference. The 225/65 R17 X-Ice tire has a higher load rating (106 vs 100) so if anything it may actually be a little stiffer. But, the difference wasn't enough for me to notice.
I drove around with my winter tires in the middle of a blizzard that we got this past week...
The Original Plan
I have a '23 Lariat with 225/60 R18 Michelin Primacy A/S tires and I put on 225/65 R17 Michelin X-Ice Snow Tires and wheels from Tire Rack. I went with the smaller OEM size to save money. They bolted on easily and fit well. Tiresize.com and TireRack.com both show that the...
With winter here, I sometimes leave my wiper blades up to prevent them from freezing to my windshield. However, on the Maverick, if the wipers are then turned on, they scratch the rear of the hood and can chip the paint.
To prevent this, I cut and applied 3M paint protection film to the section...
The graphic designers at Ford overlooked the fact that the top truck is not centered between the bar graphs.
Not only is the top truck positioned slightly to the left, but the PSI lines are not even close to being centered. Hopefully these two errors can be fixed with a software update...
The weatherstripping in the corner doesnāt sit against the glass and itās allowing water and debris to collect beneath it. If water gets past the second barrier, it ends up in the cab. I brought it to my dealership and they were unsure if this was normal or not because they didnāt have a...
Since the 2023 Mavericks donāt come with center console lighting, I added it in myself using OEM parts. Here is how I did it.
I bought Ford part number:
NZ6Z-14A318-A
Total cost was around $42.
The top light is the one I removed from the passenger foot well which I later spliced into for...
