I like the idea of side stripes, but I personally don't like how it expands and swoops up at the back.

I'm going to try what is mentioned in the thread below. The default timeout should be set to 30 minutes if the ignition is in ACC mode and 75 minutes if the vehicle is off, assuming the battery monitor allows.

Mine has a problem where CarPlay won't start after a key cycle with my phone connected. My theory is that plugging in the phone is what triggers CarPlay. While the infotainment powers off on exit, the 12v system stays on until the battery voltage is low. So, when the car turns back on, it's...

I just ordered a @MRTperformance sidekick for $280 shipped. Check them out if you are a DIY guy; they have several different options. There's a few threads about them here on the forum (and a discount code).

If you dig through the infotainment menu, there are a few different privacy settings. Most concerned about privacy just pull BCM fuse 11 and avoid FordPass.

I'm using a Hoel Wiring harness and have had zero issues, but the only time I get that deep in the volume is when listening to podcasts and during setup. I'm normally at 10-15 for music.

When you're in the spreadsheet, press "Ctrl" and "P" on your keyboard at the same time, then I'd change the margins to fit to width, next, and then print.

Today I learned something new. Thanks @jonez !

@Fast Mavericks Do you cut out the intercooler grill to get it to fit or is that just personal preference?

You are far from the first person to brake one of those bars from Steeda. Try a solid bar from Brian Goodwin. https://www.good-win-racing.com/Mazda-Performance-Part/61-3291.html

For better and worse, modern automatic transmissions are extremely complex and highly sensitive. For people hoping their Maverick lasts 300-400k miles, proactive maintenance is a must.

I've read that aprox. 75% of a trans wear happens by 5k miles (source). Lake Speed Jr, a tribologists formerly of Joe Gibbs Racing, recommends a 10k mile break-in change. Then, I'd work up from the severe service schedule of 30k mile intervals to 40-50k or whatever the car likes.

My biggest complaints are the map lights are blinding, and the brake booster ramp up is unnatural. Also, the speedometer markings are is useless, and I'm not a fan of the Toyota- I mean Ford tailgate. My biggest wish is for a double wishbone front suspension.

@Mitch Panda Motorworks @Caleb@PandaMotorworks Any updates?

You make technical comments about CV axles, transmissions, sensors, CCMs, ACMs, BCMs, DTCs, (I had to look those up) as a subject matter expert, but are "asking" about water pumps?

You're not funny, helpful, or smart. My references are solid, Subaru boy.

Here is my current maintenance plan. I primarily based it on the Ford 2023 severe service schedule, FordTechMakuloco (Ford master technician) on YouTube, and The Motor Oil Geek (Professional Lubrication Specialist) on YouTube.

I'd much prefer it without the Tonka truck looking stamped name, but I understand many are really in to it. I prefer timeless and classy.

Yes, if: 275+ miles of range (with 4 adults and luggage) <6s 0-60 Extremely reliable (better than the hybrid) Nice to haves: AWD Frunk for groceries.

I doubt many are filling with old oil. Aside from an emergency, I would caution against using it due to likely separation, oxidation, moisture, thickening, etc. Is it still motor oil? Yes, but I wouldn't put it in any engine I cared about for long. Fluids are affordable and plentiful, vehicles...
