I had a 2004 Ranger get pummeled with hail when it was only a year old. Never heard of PDR until then and was a skeptic. I thought for sure the paint would crack or rust would form underneath the paint later. I traded my Ranger for a Colorado in 2017 and you still would have never known that...
I used Siless Max 120 mil (3mm) under the compartment. I also have Siless Hybrid 3in1 200 mil which contains foam. I have layered the Hybrid over the Siless Max where there is nothing plastic laying on top of it . Otherwise it can get built up where it will be too thick for the clips to fully...
I was off of work yesterday and spent most of the afternoon removing the rear under seat storage compartment to add sound deadener from the carpeting to just below the holes for the rear clips for the plastic compartment. That alone was a significant change in what I was hearing. Still need to...
I could not get an audio on my iPhone that you could properly hear what is annoying me. At 70 MPH, Sports Mode did have a noticeable change for the better to the tone compared to the other modes that was not noticeable. RPM's jumped up approximately 200-300 on my dash. I went back and forth...
Thanks for the info. Wish GM has something similar to Forscan. I used Forscan several times on my previous F-150 to disable annoying TPMS bogus warnings, and disabled daytime running lights that used the low beams.
Is there a way to display the transmission gear on my dash like I could my 10 Speed on my old F-150? The transmission was downshifting and holding me back. Kind of like as if I was downshifting with a manual transmission in my old 91 Ranger 5 speed and you would get back pressure in the...
I'm going to look into a different exhaust and reached out to Panda Motorworks since they participate here and have posted on YouTube some samples. I'll see what they can recommend as I am not looking for a performance exhaust system. I was coasting down a ramp at 25MPH this morning and could...
If a shield was not reattached properly, it definitely would vibrate. When I had the backend on the ramps today, I grabbed the felt and tin shielding at several places, but I did not feel anything was loose and did not notice any unused hold down spots, but these 66-year-old eyes could have...
What is your opinion of the noise in your 26 Lariat? Does it get loud in the rear?
Your window sticker says 12 10 25 and mine says 12 11 25. The decal in the driver doorway shows 01/26. Quite the coincidence.
Exhaust and 3 Yr./36 Month Warranty??? Oh I know it well. The muffler on my 2004 Ranger rusted out in less than 3 years, and I had to pay for a new exhaust system. Service department thought they could get a refund from Ford under the emissions coverage, but it was denied along with Ford area...
Truck was built January 2026 and has 348 miles on it. There are newer Mavericks on the dealer's lot. Guess I am going to have to take some cardboard with me and take a look underneath one or two of those.
Here is a picture taken underneath the Maverick from the driver side looking towards the rear of the truck. The unused hanger mount is circled in yellow. There is nothing above it on the chassis to attach it to. This would not be my sound problem, but there is a large gap between the hanger...
I put the truck on ramps and climbed under it with the engine idling this morning since I am off today. The truck was rust proofed at the dealership so I double checked to make sure everthing was fastened. Only weird thing was the long straight section of the exhaust pipe has a hanger mount...
I always like the early first oil change to get the factory oil out as I usually keep my vehicles for years. My last Ranger was driven 13 years with no mechanical issues. Lots of short drives in Wisconsin weather for the 4000 mile oil changes. Otherwise I would stretch the oil changes out...
Windows were definitely up all the way. I even lowered them slightly and closed them to reseat the glass into the seals. I get the usual wind noise around the doors that I am very much used to. Tonight I drove halfway home with my tonneau cover open 3/4 of the way and closed it the rest of...
I was hoping to get confirmation from other 2.0 owners that this is not normal. I test drove a 2026 Lariat at the dealer before deciding to purchase a Maverick. Wrong color. I was only able to drive it a short distance and top speed was probably 40 MPH. I only recall the engine noise from...
Dealer's vehicle fetcher drove it over 100 miles on 4 lane roads so I'm afraid that we're too late. I try to vary my speeds and RPM's for the first 1000 miles and drop the oil and engine filter between 1000 & 1500 miles. Please excuse me as I climb under my desk for shelter. I am old school...
Have just over 300 miles on my new 2026 Lariat with the 2.0 and factory 19" tires. My son and I took it on a short trip this past weekend and when I was doing 70MPH, the drone noise coming from the rear of the cab was awful. I installed an app on my phone to get a rough idea and the app was...
