Thanks for the info and your experience with two other echo boosts... Now if I could just find the truth on valve carbon buildup... Is it a problem on the 2.0 the 2.3 all?
oh - the felt under liner is $100, The Evap canister was $513 - they can repair the sheet metal, you probably will be amazed by that. The studs will need to be rewelded and I think they can do it. Mine would have been covered by comprehensive insurance, however, with a $2,000 deductible -...
I had the exact same experience except I came around corner and crashed into a concrete boulder laying in the middle of the road that had been kicked up from a piece of the bridge falling apart. The plastic shield on the bottom of the car was ripped off. The vapor canister was punctured. The...
The Ecoboost turbos can cook your oil, and the increased cylinder pressures will push more gasoline into the crank case - For the sake of carbon reduction I think it would be wise to shorten the time to oil change interval. ( 12K miles must be too long ) but 3K is too short. It's a personal...
Oh yeah that's the noise and it does cause quite a shutter on the engine when the engine shuts down like that. But not all the time on my vehicle. I suspect However, that's what causes heavier shutter when I'm actually driving and coming to a stoplight. You captured it.
LOL well don' t tell that to all the thousands of happy owners who know this is not a failure but a success. It just might not quite be a trucky-truck. But it is a truck. If you need a big-boy you should not be looking at a Maverick.
Remember that the focus on lowing fleet MPG is pushing the hybrid and EV transition. There will be no GAS engine taking the lead over the Standard hybrid. And after driving the Hybrid and EV trucks they are a better driving experience in some important ways. - If only the range anxiety...
Ford is quite clever in their pricing. This will ensure more people will stay tied to the Maverick and not pull lower price shoppers up to the lower range of the Ranger. It won't cannibalize the Maverick sales. At the same time it's a nice looking truck and the higher trims are a stretch...
Actually I'm going to be blunt here - this looks a lot like dieseling. The 2.5L Duratec engine runs at 13:1 compression ratio. That's higher compression than the Turbo Echo. The little bit of Atkinson Cycle magic, along with aluminum head design allows for 87 Octane - ( somehow ) But...
