Yikes, did he mention if those were all 8F35 jobs?

I got my EcoBoost in the dead of winter last year and got stuck in a no-start condition twice after not driving for stretches of 4-5 days. Truck has been fine on the factory battery after deleting it from FordPass, factory resetting the truck through the infotainment, declining every EULA I...

IIRC Forscan warns about potential gateway issues if you try to monitor too many parameters at once and Ford GWM failures within the current lineup aren't unheard of. It wouldn't surprise me if the GWM's guts aren't already running near capacity managing the vehicle's busses. Maybe when you...

This is awesome, thanks for posting! Just in time, I need to haul a big load of wet leaves and won't need to pick the strays out of my tailgate. 🎉

That looks pretty rad! How did the cost stack up against something like Truxedo's Elevate rails and rack + a single roof bar up front? The wife is bugging me about canoes and transporting longer lumber up top is also very appealing.

Not an expert on what you can disable in FORScan or how the factory radio tweaks things. In a lot of modern cars the signal is still stepped on when the user-accessible EQ sliders are set flat and stuff like speed-sensitive volume is disabled. The factory radio might remove low frequencies from...

Ford is just giving the legally required warning that you're a willing contributor to one of their newest revenue streams, all those sweet, sweet usage metrics. Take a look at the FordPass Privacy Policy, they gobble up a ton of information. Some examples: vehicle location, driving dynamics...

Wow, that turned out great! You aren't kidding about the factory bed paint, even with a tarp I put a few to-the-metal scratches in mine with the first load of woody brush. What kind of compressor did you use with the spray kit and how did it handle the load? Also curious how you handled the...

Before the Maverick came around I was sort of tempted to grab a Baja and an H6 Outback parts car, then swap the motor and harnesses over. The issue was finding one that wasn't rusted to heck (especially in that dog leg behind the rear doors.)

Anyone repair this themselves? The instructions for non-Lariat repairs is pretty straight-forward. I have reservations about Ford recall service after seeing how they've mangled some of the airbag jobs. :P

Thinking we're not going to see much in the way of sound improvements until you swap out the head for one without the integrated exhaust manifold. Maybe a good project for the first of us to crack the factory manifold in the coming months/years. :P Then with all the right pipes you can get some...

Coming from Subarus where you always replace the drain plug crush washer, is it recommended to do the same with that green gasket on the Maverick?

That's a pretty good price on the Ridgeline! If your budget can expand a bit see if you can find a 2021+ Sport so you get the interior and exterior facelift, adaptive cruise control, and 9-speed transmission.

I drive once or twice a week and my 200mi 2023 Ecoboost was hitting deep sleep after a few days. Weather has been between 0F-30F and the truck sits in an insulated garage, I haven't added any aftermarket electronics yet. It's been a month without issues after I deleted the truck from Ford Pass...

At least half the reason I added 4K tow was to have the added engine and transmission cooling in place when I get bored and start adding more boost. Aside from that it'll come in handy for the odd equipment and/or trailer rental. I had also planned to swap the stock all seasons for Wildpeak...

Not quite, a couple of comparisons I ran before settling on a Maverick: These are for AWD, conventional engine models. IMO Hyundai doesn't have anything that can compete with the value of the Hybrid Maverick when you're shopping the FWD models. Santa Cruz SEL w/AWD and the hitch comes out to...

Looks great, add some of that el wire to the edge of the trims and I could see that truck cruising in a Cyberpunk setting.

Sorry dude, in a similar situation in Minnesota. - Expected delivery by December 31st - Arrived at Gateway Yard, IL on December 21st - A few days ago delivery was pushed back to early February 2023 My dealership has been pretty good about communication, sounds like the logistics behind trucking...

You aren't kidding, I live in a small town and have already seen three Bronco Sports in Area 51. I slightly regret ordering it for my Maverick; but it's such a sweet, modern color.

With the AWD trucks, how would this new generation PTU handle vastly different front-rear grip potential, and one set of drive wheels having a bigger overall diameter because of the chains' thickness? Coming from years of Subaru ownership that makes me a bit nervous. I'm used to center diffs...
