Guess I'm a little hard on tires, ( I like exercising the turbo getting up to speed) at about 12K the fronts were down to 2/32, the rear was still at 7/32, I didn't bother rotating because shortly after I purchased my Maverick I found a set of steelies take offs for winter use, so I had 4 new...
I think we just hear about it more because they are totaled from such minor impacts. I know blah blah blah safety, it shouldn't be that hard to build a vehicle that doesn't sacrifice itself to avoid a little whiplash. A stronger rear structure & better designed seats.
I double checked, I guess we are both right, the hour meter & the MPG screen does not reset, but the trip miles do, I was mainly looking at the lifetime MPG & didn't notice the miles have reset, I need to pay more attention.
I know my Maverick will run a 14.6 stock at the track, a good tune & a better air box like an S&B should get you in the 13's. Of all the cars I had stock from the factory that were close, but not as quick were a 1975 T/A with a 400 4spd managed a 14.9 & a 1994 Cadillac DeVille with the northstar...
I'm thinking it should only reset the trip you have displayed, in my case I have used trip 1 as lifetime mpg & it has never reset since new, I occasionally reset trip 2 for longer trips, & when I reset it, it only resets trip 2. I reset it by holding down the ok button until it resets & this...
I pulled this fuse a couple months after buying the Maverick, & in over 3 years I have never had any of the electrical or battery issues that so many on this site have had, might be something to it!
I like this, I tried making something similar, it did remove the blind spot, but the mirror shook like crazy over every road imperfection, does this homemade one shake or is it stable?
It's the only think I dislike about my Maverick since day one, I tried putting 2 mirror stalks together & that put the mirror high enough, but the mirror shook over every bump making me nauseous. I did replace the standard 10" mirror with an 8" & that does make it less likely to miss a vehicle...
Doesn't take that long, once the octane change has made it through the loop of fuel lines, the engine has adjusted. I notice the change in throttle response within 2 miles when changing fuel types.
How hard could it be to design a framework that attaches to the vehicle & holds the bumper that could still crumple & be replaceable. I hope this is a design change when the Maverick gets it's major refresh in a few years.
