Good point - forgot about the shutoff.... but beware that most solar panels rated at 12 v actually have a 17 v max current, so going into the Mav computer might be potentially unwise. We have a solar panel on the camper shown on the left, and run our refrigerator with the bed outlet, switching...

As a possibility, consider the 12v outlet in the passenger truck bed.

I agree with the above reasons. Besides, their V-6 mini truck already exists - they call it a Ranger.

My bad ! Sorry for the misinformation... Hard to understand THAT decision when I can imagine all the possibilities of a mishap beyond cell service.

It is also an indication that you have not spent 15 minutes with your owner's manual. Not meaning to be snarky here - admittedly, advice is worth what you pay for it, and mine is free. But, I highly suggest you spend a few minutes with the manual. Turn down the corners of the pages that show...

Suggest you search previous posts on what you needed to do BEFORE replacing the pads. As a possibility (this is a GUESS), disconnecting battery for 10 min might let you start over. At any rate, I would start here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/brake-pad-replacement-process.33381/

Reminder: Stop when the pump "clicks off" - no squeezing in a few more drops.

------------ You need to set up a critter cam. Neighbor MAY be going out at night, envious of the rig, and sweet talking your Mav. Happened to a neighbor's dog once. Visited for a little love. Apparently the rig is smart enough to sneak back to your driveway in the morning.

Quote: Always use new rotors when changing pads. --------------- Wonder where THAT ADVICE comes from. (Not seeking an argument, just doubting). Most vehicles have a minimum rotor spec, and unless they are heat warped, they do not need changing. Example: Honda civics are notorious for warping...

You know, once those drug dogs are trained, it is hard to turn them off when they smell a score. :-)

2 parts baking soda to 1 part Jiffy corn bread (or peanut butter or cocoa mix or potato flakes) is supposed to be lethal to mice who cannot process the gas.

ShelbyV8, well, that was not the case THIS time.... but believe me, we have been on the rat/mice go-round before. They chewed the "accordion pleated" rubber on the air intake - a $460 part from Ford. I opted to seal it with 3M trim adhesive and super silicone. Our truck has rubber snakes...

I just went through this. A common issue is the ambient air temp. sensor, located on the front grill. IF your outside air temp on the screen is not functioning, this is an easy and cheap fix. Next, the AC fuse was checked...AOK. On our truck, the AC compressor belt was gone, possibly chewed...

As to the Cheetos, the iphone automatically adjusts its decibel reading when the orange powder is detected on the touch screen. Not to worry.

For those of you interested in more reading on the oil issue, there is a site: BOB IS THE OIL GUY, which has beat most dead horses beyond death, but there ARE some very experienced folks on there.

Paying more for oil at the dealership is only a good idea if it makes you feel good. How hard is it to keep your receipt for five gallon jugs of synthetic oil and any (non Fram) oil filter? "Stealerships" are notoriously high priced. You've been told - free to do your own comparisons.

Rubber snakes are available on amazon... packet of smaller ones, or single larger snake.

Well, to corrupt a saying, there's no kill like overkill! Picture will show the spray from Tractor S that I used, the glued on rubber snakes, the block of mouse bait/poison, and the fix of the accordion pleated part. It turns out that that part is all one piece, and goes over to where the air...

i just returned from the local Ford dealer who sold me my 2023 Maverick 4x4 2.0. The AC had quit, and I have a new rodent caused hole in the air intake accordion hose, as well as a partially chewed through hose on the return line to the coolant reservoir. EXPENSIVE PARTS! The two hoses would...
