No need to place wipers in service mode on this truck. They are very easily moved manually. You move one up by hand and the other one follows. I do it every time I wash it so I can wipe down the windshield. Try that and get a small cordless blower you can stow in the back. The whole process will...
Agree with Fcnrwy, I mostly carry it in the off chance another motorist needs assistance in such a manner. I am not so concerned about an engine block breach and the ensuing combustion of exposed fluids, to the extent that influenced my decision. My guess is that if said failure did occur, it is...
I saw a thread from 9 Sept. where a member had the air leak CEL come up. He posted an OBD II trouble code 2282 which points to a leak between the throttle body and intake. Check your DTC codes. This may have nothing to do with recall 23E09.
Yep, I'm in the line up. Own a 22 XLT Hybrid and quite happy about it. But, in the hopes of getting past the unsettled recalls and resetting the warranty period, I ordered a 24 Lariat on 17 July. The 22's value will still be holding strong I think for the foreseeable future (the strike may...
It's a video on how to get A Mav, not YOUR Mav. Give up everything that makes this truck desirable enough for me to wait those 9 months, and I'll get what I don't want in 6.
First of all, this is not an endorsement for the quality or effectiveness of the this extinguisher brand ( AmzBoom model MSJ900, $30 on Amazon). I have not personally tested it although I am tempted. I just happened to find that it fits tightly in the bottle compartment of the rear door, in this...
It's fun to experiment with the limits of a new vehicle. When it comes to this one however, you can lessen the stress by carrying along, wait for it......a gas can. Of course you don't want to get to that revealing moment, less than zero, say on an I 95 trek as you can't be sure of a safe place...
As I read through this thread, and its often referred to 12V battery issue, I notice my 22 Hybrid is once again in deep sleep mode with remote features disabled. WTH? It's been parked for less than 24 hours. I have a bad read of 11.96 volts at the terminals. Either something is drawing it down...
Reason 101 not to ever move to Florida. Full coverage in Ohio for the 22 Maverick with a $100 deductible and a zero comprehensive runs me well under $300 a half. It probably helps to be with the same insurer for 30 years plus.
Now that's the kind of DIY ingenuity I like to see. Designs that are simple but highly functional. Great idea using the dado cuts. Thanks, now I'm going to have to make that for myself.
My personal opinion, I don't think it has anything to do with your coolant. It sounds more likely they dripped some oil around during the change and it hasn't burned off yet. That can last for a while. Just throwing it out there.
Yeah, it's become somewhat of a fascination. Separate yourself from the popular crowd and you just might garner a bit of attention is how it sometimes goes. But nobody including its maker predicted this much. The supply ratio issues speak for that.
Interesting, and surprising mostly. Here in the upper Midwest I feel like a mobile zoo exhibit. It has settled down lately but the first year I was either getting tracked down in the parking lot or stopped after getting out. Questions, walk arounds and even peak-ins. Average conversation around...
Let the dealer do it man, for a couple of reasons: The first oil change should be complimentary; It starts a paper trail which is especially important during an active warranty; They will complete a multipoint inspection AND you will likely get a free wash. How can you beat that?
