  1. 91 octane or non ethanol gas

    I bet all manuals of all vehicles say the same thing. Its CMA
  2. Ford reverses course and will keep AM radio 🎙️

    My 15yr old recently purchased a Hello Kitty CD player because it's retro and Mom still has a bunch of CD. We still have a VHS & DVD player mostly because we have the (unmessed with) original Star Wars on VHS.
  3. Leveled vs Lowered Maverick Side by Side Comparison

    Rough ride is usually from cut coils or heated springs.
  4. Painted my Eibach lift springs in black

    Powder coat will last forever
  5. Transmission fluid maintenance

    You can (probably) add an inline filter along the transmission lines going to the radiator. Did that to a few 60s & 70s vehicles, adds a quart to volume and so easy to change I usually did it everyother or every third oil change.
  6. 3M Crystalline Tint Series For Windshield

    Also consider Huper Optik. Can't do the front windshield in Louisiana b/c inspection sticker and not allowed. Had the H.O. installed on my Edge and it rejects the heat. Some films heat up in the sun. ~$100 per side window. Only available to certified installers.
  7. Rear sliding window question

    Supply would be an issue w/Ford, and is there enough demand for aftermarket parts. Find an insurance total and rip out have installed.
  8. longest lasting summer tire?

    If you amortize the cost over 5yrs (general life of a tire due to exposure) the difference in cost is negligible. The cost of mount/balance/etc has gone up quite a bit.
  9. longest lasting summer tire?

    I sold tires at Sears and Michelin had the fewest complaints or tire construction faults. Goodyear was 2nd.
  10. Loud thump noise

    Find the general location. My guess is a blend slapping shut is a symptom of a larger problem. Good luck
  11. Hybrid 12v battery relocation?

    Is there room & enough ground clearance? Battery placement is at the bottom of the list when designing cars. I think it was Chrysler mounted the battery in the front wheel well. You had to remove tire and arch lining to change it. We did free install EXCEPT for that one. It did have covered...
  12. Fuel tank swap from an ecoboost into a hybrid?

    I posted the same question awhile back thinking it would be a straight exchange a la F150 26gl to 35gl. The hybrid tank is 3x(?) more than EB so there is more to it than just capacity. Now an extended range tank on EB might be a possibility 🤔
  13. Mothercuddler! Truck is likely a write-off from being rear-ended

    Nobody does steel body work anymore. If it can't be replaced w/panel, totaled.
  14. Why Buy a Maverick?

    "Why buy a Maverick?" Is the question. My reasons are listed above. And correct on the tartan
  15. Why Buy a Maverick?

    I will buy one because: I live in the Gulf South and run my a/c 10mo of the year, drive 90% city, just want it for weekend projects, no rear hatch to collect things, bed for adult & kids bicycles & it is THE CHEAPEST NEW HYBRID. And being a tuner the EB would be too tempting to not modify.
  16. Hybrid 12v battery relocation?

    If you pay a licensed Ford dealer/customizer it'll be covered. Met a gentleman who had Ford raise his new F250 5", extended for six door cab an added an electric gun locker. All under Ford warranty
  17. DIY Center Console USB Power Strip

    Great idea and execution. One concern is the open USB ports facing up. Eventually something besides a plug is going to block it.
  18. Winter tires for FWD Hybrid Maverick?

    Dedicated snow tires are more rubber than other tires. They stay soft and more siping for grip. Lived in MN for a while selling tires. You should really look at the test videos! Some argue about spending for JUST winter tires. Our response, "How much is a tow out of a shallow ditch?" You also...
  19. Anyone put a fuel tank in their truck bed?

    DOT rules about type and container amount of fuel carried. Diesel "burns", gasoline explodes.
