Well need to update my plans. Someone mentioned to check airbag location (good catch!) and unfortunately the rig location appears to be just on the edge of where the passenger airbag would deploy. Hard to tell but it's probably not best to keep the rig there when moving. The airbag seams are...

Some people appreciate learning that their new vehicle that goes into a coma every 5 days doesn't actually have a battery problem even though the documentation states battery saver coma is based on low voltage... but you know what? Forget what I posted and have fun going back and forth to your...

you can read all the threads but here's my take: Only get real FORD warranties, not 3rd party Modern cars are filled with crazy tech, so the risk/reward equation favors vehicles with more tech. The Ford warranty prices are the same regardless of trim, so lariats with all the extra gizmos tend...

For those that asked... So far I've emailed these 2. I plan on calling customer care on Monday.,, [email protected], [email protected] (800) 392-3673 Monday-Friday 8:00AM-11:00PM Eastern Time Saturday 8:00AM-8:00PM Eastern Time Sunday Closed I also plan on using the built-in feedback feature with...

Thanks. It’s only for the occasional long road trips and maybe some camping. Rig mostly stays in the shack.

Printed a plastic bracket that the rear feet slip into and the bracket itself slots on the back lip of the amazon cubby piece. Radio is secure but easily pops right off.

Here's the 991 on the dash. I used the Amazon dash cubby and added a 3D-printed piece that the radio just sits on. The rear feet of the radio go into the piece and the piece itself slots onto the back of the cubby. Between the rear piece sitting in its slot and the front bale of the radio it's...

To be clear, my original post is intended to share info that confirms, at least in my case, a 25' hybrid with factory AGM battery and an external battery tender/trickle charger connected; that the battery saver will STILL kick in, disabling the interior lights an many other functions after about...

That's why I posted this as I feel it's definitive and not just conjecture since it comes from a reliable source. You can choose to believe me or not. I didn't go out looking for this info, but since I found myself in an unexpected conversation with someone who is deeply involved with the...

My proposal that the battery saver actually look at the battery health/voltage instead of triggering off of some time limit (100 hrs of inactivity?) that an engineer pulled out of their ass actually WOULD work if the dome light is left on by accident... By having the battery saver actually...

I'm sort of amazed and the number of posts from Maverick Fanboys defending/blowing off this obvious design error / user manual error by Ford (to repeat, the battery saver doesn't monitor the battery!). The manual is wrong in stating it turns off the lights based on battery voltage. The issue is...

The entire module (BCM?) is disabled so the lights getting turned off are collateral damage. I asked my source how much current the lights drew and he admitted not much.

That's a feature you can disable from the vehicle settings. It can 'read' the signs and will adjust speed automatically. I disabled that on mine on day-one as it misreads a 55 as a 45 near my house, and it also abruptly decelerates causing a potential safety problem. I have it so it still...

Walk in the garage... truck has been on a battery tender so battery is good (would also be good based on DC->DC charging off the ~220v hybrid battery even if I didn't have a tender), open the door... truck appears dead. Fiddle around to press the black-on-black start button that's not...

The problem is there's no problem yet the battery saver mode triggers Battery saver mode turns off things (like lights) based ONLY on inactivity. The battery voltage is fine (see notes above). The owner's manual is wrong (says it is based on voltage). IF battery saver actually looked at the...

My yaesu 991 doesn't have a detachable face, but it fits nicely resting above the screen. Thing is I don't want to drill any holes in the dash to secure it. I just found this package tray for the 25 dash and I think I am going to try securing the radio to it and just drop the whole thing onto...

Revisiting an old thread. My Yaesu 991 is too big for a between the seats mounting. I am going to try to secure it to this drop-in package tray for the dash... https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/dash-tray-for-25s-low-cost-nice-cheap-add.77545/

It's in conflict with the owner's manual (owner's manual claims this is voltage-based). It's a new $40,000 vehicle that has interior lights that fail after sitting for 5 days (as well as everything else that gets disabled). We've a dark garage so it is very noticeable. There's no longer any good...

My source didn't ask to be anonymous and suggested I contact Ford through normal channels to complain.. I just rather not provide much more in the way of details in case it causes issues for that person at some point. When you look at the owner's manual regarding the battery saver features...

I'd prefer not to provide too much info, to avoid getting my source into any trouble, but I am 100% confident as to the information as that person has deep knowledge of the manufacturing, design and engineering on a number of projects - and some specifically with these vehicles. We were...
