  1. Snow Tire recommendation ?

    I've always used Blizzaks, but have tired of cha ging out every spring / fall. On my Maverick I'm trying a set of all weather tires. Michelin cross climates are one. I settled on Nokians from Discount tires. They've been great this summer, but we will see when the snow flies.
  2. Fitting bike in the bed

    I haul my electric bike 3 times a week. I just put a 2 x 6 in the front slot & use tie-down like a motorcycle. If security is needed I fold the bike remove seat post & bars & close the trifold hard tonneau. Easy Peasy
  3. In general, Is ordering from a very small dealership a bad idea?

    I ordered my xlt hybrid from a small dealer in a small town & couldn't be happier. 9 month wait, but treated great, awesome trade in , msrp, small doc fee. & no headaches. Mangold Ford Eureka I'll.
  4. Ford needs to step up

    How's this?
  5. Opting out of recall?

    I don't think Ford should expect those of us with substandard machining to accept possible engine failure. Our trucks cost just as much as the ones built after the crankshaft problem was fixed. I bought what I thought was a quality built product, only to be told, We knowingly installed poor...
  6. Ford needs to step up

    Why look those bearings are called MAIN bearings.
  7. Ford needs to step up

    Now to address the real issue. Ford has openly stated the crankshaft in said Maverick hybrids had a machining problem. Are you silly enough to think Ford came up with this band aid because the engine can't fail? Funny my escape had a 2.5 engine & Ford didn't think they better drill holes in case...
  8. Ford needs to step up

    Please tell us oh wise one what is the attachment points that holds the crankshaft into the engine block. I've assembled numerous engines & I have never heard a mechanic & parts counter person call the bearings in reciprocating parts called anything but main bearings & rod bearings. Please show...
  9. Ford needs to step up

    Ok you win I know nothing about engines over bearing vs bearings. Sir, could you look at a break down on a automobile engine?
  10. Ford needs to step up

    No main bearings? What do you think holds the crankshaft into the block?
  11. Ford needs to step up

    Why would you guys make excuses for bad parts? Putting your heads in the sand doesn't make it go away.
  12. Ford needs to step up

    I've had or have seen plenty of sour engines. Knocking & shaking pretty much equates to bad or loose bearings. Now considering Ford admitted to letting improperly machined. Cranks & offered a bandaid solution for a thrown rod yes I'm very confident it is said issue. I tried to post the video &...
  13. Ford needs to step up

    I'm sure if after waiting yours comes with a engine knock you'll be grateful to have it.
  14. Ford needs to step up

    I haven't worried about the cable so much. But a crankshaft machine problem leads to rod. or main bearing failure. Rod pokes hole in block or pan oil causes fire. I've seen a pic of a toasted one. These issues aren't like my glovebox is hard to open stuff.
  15. Ford needs to step up

    You think ford is drilling holes in Maverick under covers for fun? Run your vin at nths & if yours is included tell me it's all make believe.
  16. Ford needs to step up

    I have a video of a Maverick hybrid rattling & shaking. Looks like main bearings out. So yes there is.
  17. Ford needs to step up

    Finding out my hybrid xlt is on the list is more troubling than most feel it is. I step out in faith & order a vehicle sight unseen. wait 9 months to see it. Now I have 2700 miles of blissful driving only to now be told, everything you drive your new vehicle might throw a rod through the oil...
