  1. First hybrid oil change at 2,500 ..shavings

    As long as you don't find anything in your drained oil with a part number on it, you should be good to go.
  2. Acorn damage to hood and roof.

    Okay, top this. I was about a mile and a half from home, coming down hill on a wooded section of road, when I noticed some turkeys perched on some branches, directly overhead. They decided to depart as I got closer to them and one of them forgot to let go of the branch before launch. Said...
  3. Acorn damage to hood and roof.

    You ought to see me cringe when I have to pass under a walnut tree. They are splattered all over the roads and I can imagine what the top of the Mav, or the windshield, would look like if it took a coupe of those, bigger than golf balls, dropping at the wrong moment.
  4. Senior citizen Maverick owners thread

    No but the speedometer is in Roman Numerals.
  5. Picked up new Lariat this morning

    Why not reveal the rest of your Alto Blue paint? Do what I did.
  6. 17 inch "Full Size" spare vs. 18 inch, Any one else?

    Get the correct size tire and rim. Remove the teeth on that cutter bar and take the air out of the "spare." Carry a plug in inflator. Problem solved.
  7. 383 DAYS!

    Mine took 594 days and the shipping from Mexico to central PA was 35 days.
  8. NEW Maverick TREND! (who wants to start one with me?): # Days to Receive My Truck Sticker

    I thought my 594 days would be hard to beat, but you did it by a big margin.
  9. Locking glove compartment

    Just don't drill into any air bag components when you make the slot for the tab.
  10. Can Any Owner Tell Me: Can You Crawl Under The Front End Without Jacking The Vehicle?

    I backed it on. But, the front wheels were on the little incline at the front of my garage when the tires got to the steel ramps. Don't forget to stop once on top.

    Dan Crenshaw eye patch sold separately.
  12. PSA: I don't want to scare you, but...

    Obviously you have been abducted by a UFO. Look for any new implants.
  13. Teamsters will honor UAW strike (No Deliveries)

    I won't be crying over anything. I am not going to be buying another new vehicle ever again. I wasn't planning on buying a Maverick until I figured I could get better fuel economy and I could sell two older vehicles. One thing to consider is this; how long does it take to train someone for an...
  14. Teamsters will honor UAW strike (No Deliveries)

    No, it's not about me. It's about all of us. Can you predict how much a new vehicle from the big three is going to sell for, or NOT sell? Ford supposedly lost billions on the F-150 Lightning. GM had acres and acres of trucks parked because they didn't have all the parts to finish the...
  15. Teamsters will honor UAW strike (No Deliveries)

    Gee, The UAW ONLY wants a 46% wage increase. I was once in the UAW, not that I ever wanted to be, and the company I worked for shut down in August, 33 years ago. Hunting seasons start opening up in September, so they are in no hurry to get back to work. Figure out how much a new Ford, GM or...
  16. Break in must be complete. MPG improved... anyone else?

    I passed 2500 miles and noticed a nice jump in fuel economy. Today I recorded 47.34 mpg, topping the 43.74 on the first fill up. I had a low of 38 once but that was due to some Interstate driving. I have decided to take the side roads from now on, as I am not in a big hurry and the traffic is...
  17. Need Advice...Is this normal?

    That is correct. The compressor needs replaced along with the receiver/dryer and the whole system needs flushed clear of any debris (good luck with that.) Then the tech will need to vacuum pump the system down to 30 inches, wait at least a half hour to see if any leaks are indicated, then...
  18. Need Advice...Is this normal?

    If the air conditioner on the eco boost engine is belt driven and it is seized up, maybe that is what is causing it to stall. There is a clutch on the front of the compressor and that would have to be engaged or damaged to the extent it won't turn anymore. You should have probably shredded the...
  19. Took a ride in a different kind of Ford today

    Not only did I have some rides in Cobras, I was on a test flight when the pilot in back asked me to "take over for a bit, while I write some things down." Okay, I said, and started flying from the front seat. Keep in mind I was just an engine mechanic. It's 2:30AM over the Mekong Delta and soon...
  20. Took a ride in a different kind of Ford today

    I had a ride in the Goodyear blimp. That was fun. It was while the Little League World Series was being played nearby.
