  2. Deep Sleep and Battery problems are all yours to deal with, once you reach the 3 year Standard Warranty!

    I've found Motorcraft batteries to be good. My F250 an 07 model will be 20 in less than two years and it is on its second set of batteries. The first set did not fail i replaced them at ten years old because i was afraid they would leave me stranded if I didn't. Almost everytime my truck is at...
  3. Why are car companies dropping Apple CarPlay?

    My understanding is that apple and android auto use language that conflicts with normal industry standards causing software issues. I can understand this with apple because they use risc processors that operate on a different instruction set creating problems. but android auto doesn't it uses...
  4. Deep Sleep and Battery problems are all yours to deal with, once you reach the 3 year Standard Warranty!

    aint that the truth. was just a few years ago you could call Ford and ask to talk to a particular vehicle specialist and they would transfer you and you could get your question properly answered. When i became interested in the new Bronco I had a couple of questions so called Ford support and...
  5. Deep Sleep and Battery problems are all yours to deal with, once you reach the 3 year Standard Warranty!

    I think I mentioned before that this has been an issue since the early hybrids like my 2014 cmax but someone found a fix which i learned from a guy with one when i was fishing. He said to use a trickle charger which i do now and no more dead batts. I would have thought by now a better solution...
  6. Replacement battery to solve deep sleep problem?

    I have a 2014 CMAX ENERGY that does this if not used for a couple of days. What i learned from another owner i ran into one day that if you use a trickle charger or battery minder when its gonna sit it eliminates the problem. Sometimes i don't use my CMAX for a couple of months but if on the...

  8. Deep Sleep and Battery problems are all yours to deal with, once you reach the 3 year Standard Warranty!

    oh yeah :muscle:.......!!!......You may be right about Ford but i went through 2 agms in a short period of time as they do not like to be cycled low they like to be full charge all the time. I switched from deep cycle marine to AGM because i was told how great they were and didn't work for my...

    Must have a pretty simple minded cpu......what happens if you don't follow the in instructions i wonder...hum, I'll bet hardly anyone reads those instructions.
  11. Beach Use

    sounds like you are set to go. Do you have at least one set of chains? Using them is like adding tires with an aggressive tread and lugs and then some. I always carry a set for emergencies....chuckle....if you have all these items you will never need them, well, untill the day you clean your...
  12. Deep Sleep and Battery problems are all yours to deal with, once you reach the 3 year Standard Warranty!

    AGM's suck, tried them and they don't last. What i do with my hybrid is I use a trickle charger when ever its going to sit more than two days and that eliminated the batt problems. Mine often sits for a couple of months before it gets used and with the trickle it starts everytime even if it...
  13. Maverick use in off road conditions

    thats funny.....is any vehicle truly an off road vehicle? Aren't they all designed for roads except maybe a crawler type dozer used to make roads.
  14. Maverick use in off road conditions

    I must have missed it. Its not likely I will never use any mode but normal. My first jeep was in 1969 and it negotiated the Rubicon trail before there was even a Mayor. ...chuckle....a group of locals like to get together at the springs and decided a Mayor was needed to insure nothing was...
  15. Maverick use in off road conditions

    I don't care for the idea that i must choose a stored program to climb a little hill or go over a small pot hole. I would much rather have full control myself and let my brain determine the amount of throttle necessary to negotiate an obstacle....Would be nice to see the same coarse negotiated...
  16. Maverick use in off road conditions

    I can understand that. My issue with all is that manufacturers keep making them bigger when small is the key to navigating difficult spaces. Space is a trade off depending on your goal but the ultimate off road vehicle is still the original jeep military CJ5. It could weave around rocks and...

    Escort....your showing your age.....chuckle..I loved the auto seat belts in the Tempo. My first Escort was a diesel i bought for my wife cause she was always complaining about gas prices i think they were $0,60 a gallon at that time and the diesel didn't use gas! I fixed her didn't I? That...
