I have a 2022 2.0 Ecoboost with FX4 and 4K tow and 35,000 miles. Have used it plenty offroad and for towing up to 3,000 lbs, often pulling a 3-rail trailer with motorcycles to the desert. So far no issues with the CVs/axles. Maybe I'm lucky or maybe it's true that Hybrids are worse. I have...

Didn't be a F-tard, this forum is for people to ask questions. If you're going to send everyone somewhere else then YOU need to leave.

Follow-up on my earlier quote. My panic alarm reverted back to enabled. Not sure but am guessing it happened during one of the endless recalls on the Mav where they updated software. I need to hook up Forscan and do it again.

Yes it was uneven. The factory Pirellis were very worn on the front and nearly bald on the inside edge. So I wasn't about to ruin $800 worth of tires with 70,000 mile warranty.

Alignment is money well spent. Years ago I had a very expensive brand new set of tires with 60,000 mile warranty go nearly bald on the inside edge within a few months because of a bent tierod. The factory Pirellis on the front of my Mav were worn almost bald on one edge because of incorrect...

I just brought my 2022 Ford Maverick in to Brakes Plus to have the front end aligned after buying new tires. After keeping me waiting 45 minutes, they just told me they can't do it because they don't have the software to reset the steering wheel, which necessitates plugging into the OBD2 port...

Finally got a set of five (5) 245/65R17 Vredestein Pinza ATs mounted. Today I got the spare mounted underneath. First I bent the teeth on the front down with a large crescent wrench. It went in pretty easy and was tight up against the downward facing teeth with room to spare between the tire and...

I don't get it. Isn't it 75W, since that's what's on the label? I've driven many cars and pickups over the past 50 years, and if I ever checked the transmission or differential, they were normally half full of black crud, often leaking, yet somehow never had an issue. Here I am 40+ years later...

Wow, thanks for your efforts. That's pretty much how I felt about it. Nothing magically different about the Ford RDU and all the other diffs I've serviced over the past 50 years. A high quality synthetic gear oil with FMs should be fine. I am saving this response for future reference, in case...

For the good of humanity, or at least the Maverick community. Thank you. How much is Blackstone's fee? And where did you get a quart of Ford 75W fluid for $30? One quart of the Mobil 1 was nearly $20.

What would you send them? A tiny vial of your $50 quart of Ford RDU fluid? Remember Marvel Mystery Oil? When I first started driving and working on my own pickup in the 1970s I knew very little about what went on under the hood. So every now and then just to make myself feel better, I would dump...

Exactly. Not sure if Mobil 1 75W90 GL5 synthetic oil already has the modifiers or not. I know if it already has it, you should not add more as in the case of FMs, you can have too much of a good thing.

There is plenty on people substituting other oils for the PTU. I don't know anything special about the RDU.

I've read this whole discussion and searched other sources and there is not much on Ford Disconnect Rear Drive Unit Fluid (XY-75W-QL) substitutes. Is there something magical about this stuff that I can't just use a quality 75W-85 synthetic oil rated GL5? If your only reason is that is what Ford...

Do you all posting your numbers have the GPS tracking feature enabled so Ford can see everywhere you go and how fast you are going? Are you aware that even if you don't give permission on the dash settings to share location with your insurance company, there is speculation that Ford could sell...

There was some kind of mix-up between Ford corporate and the plant in Hermosillo. They wanted to limit the speed to 108 kph (67mph), but somehow they thought they meant miles per hour.

Ludwig, Man I don't remember where I got the .146 or .147, but noticed on the Forscan download page the current version is v2.3.59. Download and install that. Ken https://forscan.org/download.html

I already got my replacement battery, an ACDelco silver/cadmium Gold AGM battery from Amazon for $193.41 taxes and shipping included. Took the OE battery which would not hold more than 11.75 volts and dropped it off at the dealer. I chewed out the SM for telling me my battery tested good. I...

I wondered about that, if my BMS had reset to AGM after I switched or if it was already set to AGM. More proof that Ford intended AGM batteries in all the EcoBoost Mavericks but cheaped out because of supply shortages. Even now my dealer, Western Slope Ford, refuses to pay to replace my battery...
