  1. First Oil Change at 10,000 Miles w/ Photo

    I'm amazed at the degree of certainty people express on this subject and on global warming. All I know is that it is very, very rare for clean oil to be a detriment to an internal combustion motor. I also know that the earth is coming out of an ice age and has been long before the industrial...
  2. First Oil Change at 10,000 Miles w/ Photo

    Hmmm, let me ponder your statement..........yep, agree with you completely.
  3. Theory why Mavericks get rear-ended so much

    I like what Cherokee said but that doesn't discount your theory. However, I see no way of testing it so it will have to forever be the "little mind-little truck theory".
  4. Pests nesting in the engine compartment

    I tried that on my mother's car that we put away for the winter at my cottage. In the Spring we found a mouse nest in the Bounce box that was left in the trunk and there were a few sheets still in the box.
  5. 2022 Ecoboost Transmission Leaks + Acceration Lag @ 46,000 (Photos attached)

    Please be advised you must now have an environmental impact statement for any location you visit. Regards, The EPA
  6. Mice

    Try shooting peppermint extract into the vents. Mice don't like the smell so it will drive them away and help cover that pest smell.
  7. 2 Motorcycles in back of bed

    Gutsy move with just a single ramp. Did you ride them up or walk them up and how much fun was it getting them off with a single ramp?
  8. Drive Modes (SPEED!)

    Sport mode in stop and go traffic is great to aggravate all those retired drivers who are on the highways between 8:00 and 9:00 am.
  9. Anybody run the maverick on strictly premium fuel?

    You're correct but perhaps it's better to say if you want the most efficient engine operation of the EB motor you run 91. I've noticed that there are still lingering pearls of wisdom from the days of points and condensers. Back then if a car was set up for regular, premium added little. Today...
  10. Anybody run the maverick on strictly premium fuel?

    Actually it was engineered to run 91 and makes do with 87. I do get better MPG and because I use top tier, less carbon build up.
  11. JD Powers says the Santa Cruz is the #1 "midsize" truck?

    Surveys have about the same correlation to reality as opinions. What parameters do these so called surveys have? To the best of my knowledge the 2.0 and 2.4 Theta engines were good for 90 days but triggered a series of class action suits for going kaput.
  12. Recommendations for a drag and autocross set up!

    Best autocross set up- Ariel Atom. Best tires-round and sticky. Joking aside I'd love to see what you end up with. It never occurred to me a Maverick would be a good autocross vehicle, but I suspect the Lobo is the perfect place to start. Keep us posted and good luck.
  13. Motorcycle hitch rack installed

    filled with water to protect that beautiful bike.
  14. Giveaway: If you could add one feature to the Maverick, what would it be?

    Easy, a cap would be great.
  15. travel trailers - my shortlist and what do you have?

    Didn't see the Scamp 5th wheel on your list. I was almost going to pull the trigger on it but went a different route than an RV.
  16. So this just happened

    I've heard blue trucks were drunk magnets.
  17. What's your oil consumption like?

    In an attempt to meet government CAFE regulations some manufactures reduced the friction inside the cylinder by decreasing ring compression. I had an Audi that got new rings because of it. There were courts that agreed with manufactures that a quart per 1000 miles is an industry standard. Just...
  18. The tire gods have punished me

    Oh, I wondered where I left that. Mind sending it to me? But seriously, that REALLY SUCKS.
  19. Need Advice After Ford Dealer did BAD WORK on my Maverick

    I stopped using the local dealer and started going to one 48 miles away because when I took mine in for the airbag they broke the seatbelt, got grease and grime all over and the worse thing was the stench of really, really BAD BO. I had to throw out seat covers and did carpet clean on all fabric.
