Surfstar’s interesting thread on “Longest hybrid oil change interval” showed folks going well beyond 10,000 miles before the OLM reached 0%. Fine for their normally aspirated Atkinson ICE - but nasty bad for a Turbo EB. Question - have any EB drivers had their OLM allow 10,000 miles or more...

Ok, which one of you haters asked AI to create a critical video based on the MTC Forum? Fess up.

I never drive in fog and rarely after dark - so my nifty OEM LED fog lights are never being used. Turns out that Amber fog lights work better in dust & dust storms than White LED. There are occasional dust storms, even Haboobs where I drive. In addition, trucks driving during the day are...

Am I correct in assuming the assorted blue markings on parts is a QC check mark? Some bolts have them also. Checking they are torqued properly? Turbo Pipe

Only the “refreshed” 25/26 Maverick 2.0L EB and the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel engines have aluminum valve covers. All other current Ford engines have plastic? Coyote, Raptor, 3.5 EB, etc etc. Not sure why… Edit…I’m guessing the 6.7L Power Stroke Turbo Diesel has metal covers because it is a...

Maverick Hybrids down 20.4% to 17,050 units compared to last year. Maverick Ecoboosts down 1.3% to 16,811 units compared to last year. Ford Overall was down 8.8% to 457,000 units compared to last year, Just fyi for the marketing & accounting folks:)

US Government vehicles are prohibited from using Forscan because of their ties to Russia. Not sure how many Fords are in the Federal fleet?

Sent in a sample 5 days ago & received results. I was “concerned” about fuel dilution . Sniffed my oil cap & it smells of gas blah blah. But since SSM “Special Service Message” 54138 outlines this as a symptom of a potential leaky high pressure fuel pump for my VIN - I decided to send in an...

I’ve never plugged a tire. Replaced thousands & patched dozens of bicycle tubes - but never “plugged” a tubeless vehicle tire. Anyone have a favorite plug kit recommendation? I found this $19.99 kit - but I prefer specific tools etc for my Maverick instead of universal generic stuff. Please...

Anyone planning to participate in the Centennial Celebration April/May this year with their Mavericks? It will be Northern AZ for me if I drive it:)

I just replaced my air filter & have a slight gap where the filter is visible where it meets the lid…passenger side just below the MAF sensor. Pink colored FoMoCo filter… Would someone check their 25/26 EB to see if this normal/correct? Appreciate any feedback! Ps…is the writing on your MAF...

This 15min video explains 3 different Ford reset techniques using the battery, key, or gas pedal. I have a dash light indicator showing a rear sensor malfunction that lit up after a bumper ding. Sensor works - but dash light still on. Going to use the “Key” reset to see if that clears it…...

The added 6lbs of the Air Design ornamental hood “scoop” affects my hood release mechanism…hood will release with one hardy pull of the latch release - not the usual two regular pulls. I’ve yet to glue/tape mine on & I’m wondering if any folks using the Air Design hood scoop have had any...

Back in September I crunched my rear bumper helping a friend move (pic below). First fender bender in 40 years. Local body shop quoted me $1300 to paint (Velocity Blue) & install a new OEM Lobo bumper. Little did he (or I) know how impossible it would be for a body shop to procure a Lobo rear...

Any Canucks considering a Chinese EV now that import rules have changed? Per Google AI etc: “As of January 2026, Canadians can soon purchase Chinese-made electric vehicles again, following a major trade deal announced on January 16, 2026. Previously, Canada imposed a **100% tariff** on...

Articulate & Interesting review of the 2022 EB that popped up on my YouTube feed. EGR valve replaced ($600) but otherwise the EB is fine. 3K oil changes.

Very interesting video on Ford’s focus on the future of ICE vs Hybrid vs EV. Will a 300hp Lobo Hybrid be available in 2028? I believe!

Going to send in samples to Amsoil, Blackstone, and SpeedDiagnostix and see how they compare. Specifically looking for oil dilution from a faulty high pressure fuel pump that affects my VIN via TSB. I’ll share results when they all come back - probably by Valentine’s Day…
