  1. Hybrid Raptor Spotted

    no FX4 no STX? dissapointing.
  2. Help me decide between Hybrid or Tremor

    please consider thinking about this a bit more like 2 month every single day before blowing the cash.
  3. 35K miles Ecoobost AWD - Lazy/Slow acceleration and griding noise from tires

    I am guessing, maybe the CV shafts are gone? or some wheel bearing?
  4. First Oil Change at 10,000 Miles w/ Photo

    yes the manual says 10k miles we have proof of that. We also have proof that oems are paid (in carbon credits) for putting longer oil change intervals in the manual by EPA. same goes for lifetime fluids in transmissions. all the "engineers know best" info is thrown into question then in my...
  5. Arguing with the dealer over oil? Full vs semi synthetic oil

    Their is a bigger gap than that. If you wish to study oils you would also know that the additive package makes up %40 of the oil which is waht you are paying for Supertech vs mobil1 and the other 60% is the base oil. Their are 5 groups, groups 1-4 are easier to understand. Some "full synthetic"...
  6. Arguing with the dealer over oil? Full vs semi synthetic oil

    My advice is just change the oil sooner! that fresh half synth oil is still good enough for some mileage! you get the free change and you will get full synth. I would say on an NA engine it would not upset me. At least they did not lie and say it was full synth or didn't even really change the oil
  7. MotorTrend 2-Year Long Test Review of Maverick Hybrid: How It Went

    Tire wear has more to do with Alignment and tire pressure than driving faster. Acceleration from start to stop very fast would be the exception that put's more wear on tires (if this truck weighed 6000lbs and had a 2sec 0 to 60) but we are talking 10 mph more on highway.
  8. MotorTrend 2-Year Long Test Review of Maverick Hybrid: How It Went

    i think that had to do with the cheap 12v basic oem battery (still an issue) not the hybrid 1 kw battery.
  9. Hybrid Maverick Cooling Systems

    I am guessing here, but I think the engine does whatevery engine does and operate in "closed loop" mode when cold. The coolant is NOT flowing pumps are off until the engine heats its coolant enough then the pumps open the heat the rest of the fluid in cold with fans off, then at temp the fans...
  10. Torture test towing: 104 degrees, 5% grade, 3600lbs trailer, 4 adults & more

    nice. Yeah pricier fluids could be better. For engine oils I know that mobil one and amsoil etc have better/higher grade base oils like grade 4(real full synthetic) vs grade 3 (fake synthetic) not to mention additives which are %50 of motor oil. Idk about atf since it's a hyralic fluid but it's...
  11. Beware the delicate Maverick hybrid

    That is true! i assumed they shared the systems. They do have 2 separate coolant reservoirs that are made as 1 unit to save cost so you are right. The smaller one is used for battery, ECU's and motor unit. The big ones engine only. I looked at the hybrid diagram before posting and did not see a...
  12. Beware the delicate Maverick hybrid

    usually on newer cars the whole system has to blow (side curtains, knees, etc), then the ecu has the be changed. sadly these airbags are very overpriced new and a proper title would need bags not used ones.
  13. Torture test towing: 104 degrees, 5% grade, 3600lbs trailer, 4 adults & more

    They more you tow like this the more often you should change your trans fluid imo. Even when ford says it's a lifetime fluid or whatever the f---
  14. Torture test towing: 104 degrees, 5% grade, 3600lbs trailer, 4 adults & more

    agreed weight doesn't effect MPG. drag from a trailer does
  15. Beware the delicate Maverick hybrid

    airbags on any car are (almost) impossible to replace, the ecu keeps a record and a crash event data.
  16. Beware the delicate Maverick hybrid

    High voltage traction battery cooler, electric motor radiator, high voltage battery radiator are all real parts in the diagram. My comments below were wrong and missed the second parts diagram apparently it has 2 separate cooling system thus I has to separate diagrams. I am not use to working on...
  17. Hasta La vista, auto stop/start regulations.

    the issue with everyone quoting the regulation stop is that it's being held up in court right now with California + other states suing and pending a hearing date later this year. Then if California loses it will file a jury trail THEN if they lose it will go to senate or whatever tf. UNTIL the...
  18. EVERYONE WITH EIBACH LOWERING SPRINGS - POST YOUR PICS + WHEEL/TIRE SPECS.

    I have read this, but I have also read that they still make some amount of noise that is " normal ". They did take springs from someone here and attempt to study the issue.
