Hey @Last Truck Ever, I grabbed a photo of my starter the last time I needed to jump the trump the truck. I just rest it on top and there's enough reach to connect to the posts.

I routed the valve through the top of the airbag, then across to follow the stock wiring to the hitch. It's there temporarily while I make a proper mount for it.

In case it hasn't been said, here are some common things to clarify: - In case someone hasn't mentioned yet, here are some clarifications for common questions: - You can jump a hybrid with a hybrid or a normal car, but you should NOT jump a normal car with a hybrid. Hybrids aren't set up to...

In progress at that price point.

Definitely necessary when towing or hauling. When I hauled two motorcycles in the bed with gear, we were about 1200lbs out of the 1500lbs of payload capacity. The truck was able to handle it, but it didn't like going about 65mph. Adding the airbags made a notable difference, I wish I had done it...

Steering geometry does improve when the bed of the truck is slightly lower. That's a common design for most vehicles I think, especially true for trucks. Based on my rough testing, it seemed to handle the best with about 300-400lbs in the back of the truck. I was concerned that 2-3" of free sag...

Yes, same rules would apply. It helps reduce the amount of squat when towing closer to the upper towing limit, which should improve the geometry and weight/power transfer.

My tailgate has the issue where the cable is too long so it's at 1-2 degrees below horizontal with my bed. I reinforced it two loops of 2mm Dyna X cord on either side to help keep it level and share the load with the cables. Keep in mind that the tailgate itself is rated for 500lbs, so it should...

I ordered the 4"x10" Universal Kit (60911) - which is DIFFERENT than the AWD kit which uses 3.5"x8" airbags - and the overall process took about 30-60min. Unlike the AWD kit, we had minimal issues squeezing the bags in-between the springs (once we jacked up the wheel) which saved considerable...

The bags should not interfere with the force vectoring springs. They help reduce the effective load/sag solely in the direction of the spring. Essentially, they reduce the squat but won't improve cornering (excluding the improvement due to improved vehicle geometry).

I've seen it pop up elsewhere in the forums, one of the common threads is that the issue seems to pop up after getting recall updates done to the PCM and BCM. Based on the symptoms, it seems to fall within NHTSA recall 24V-267. There's two issues: a bad 12v system and faulty software...

I reached out to the company directly for the tech specs of the different models. If you look at the two listings visually, you will notice that the AWD is shorter and fatter compared to the FWD version. I don't always trust the listing photos, but they confirmed the difference and that the FWD...

Yep, I looked at that before I made this post. That post was incredibly helpful in determining that the 10" does appear to be the right size for the hybrid. If were the 7" (which some were saying eTrailer recommended), it might do little or nothing. I don't think people on that thread realized...

I was looking at adding an Air Lift 1000 kit to my '22 Hybrid to help with rear squat when I occasionally take heavy loads. In looking it up, there appears to be conflicting reports/reviews regarding it's performance across the different Maverick models. Here's what I have found so far and I'm...

@the @The Real Maverick I was just hauling about 1k lbs of payload (that's including occupants). The trans temp never went above 135F, even going through a mountain pass. I am somewhat confused because I thought the operating temp was between 180-220F, so I was expecting something a lot higher.

My Ford told me to do a screen reset, they couldn't diagnose since they couldn't get the issue to recreate.

I doubt it but considering this group, I wouldn't be surprised if someone created something that worked better from scratch.

@TexasPete550 any chance you can post for Forscan data (especially for the Body Control Module, Battery Control Module, and maybe Power Control Module)? I'd like to do a deep dive and see if there was a programming issue.

Same issue but confirmed it was highly unlikely to be caused by the OBD2 reader. On one day, it dropped about 5% battery compared to the next where it dropped 45%. When I checked on the OBD2 reader, it seems to also power off after a certain amount of time of inactivity or it detects the vehicle...

That's what we were told. However, in opening up the fuse box AND looking at the electrical diagram, it appears that both sides are on the same circuit connected to a 20A fuse. On the plus side, the 20A fuse seems to be a newer style that's a fast-blow so there's little damage to the system in a...
