  1. 4-cylinder EB coolant usage issues? Anyone?

    That's possible. Both of the videos were referring to 2014 and 2015 models. Hopefully this has been completely resolved. CMOS
  2. 4-cylinder EB coolant usage issues? Anyone?

    Howdy All, I just watched a couple YouTube videos that described a "known issue" with all of the Ford 4-cylinder EB engines: coolant consumption due to the head-to-block interface. Is anyone seeing this on this site? CMOS
  3. Ford Maverick Catch Can Oil Separator Installation (IMO Best Practice)

    Your method addresses the "dirty" and "clean" side,? CMOS
  4. Ford Maverick Catch Can Oil Separator Installation (IMO Best Practice)

    @Chase_GHT What brand of cans did you order? CMOS
  5. Ford Dealership tells me I'm wrong on ordering a 2023

    This is what I'm doing. I'm in Texas. The local dealers just don't seem to know what the hell they are doing, so I'm ordering from Long McArthur. CMOS
  6. Fuel/Oil Smell After J&L OSC Install

    @jtpc2021 Here's a very good video about GDI engines, detailing the good and the bad. He does review the issue of intake valve coking due to oil in the evap system. Take a look. A GDI engine does have its benefits and downsides, the latter mostly driven by BS EPA requirements by the Feds...
  7. Maverick keeps on selling despite supply shortage... 19,508 sold in Q2

    I predict the Ranger will be in trouble, very soon. Too close a cost to an F150. No real perception of "value" by going to a Ranger as does the Maverick. There's really nothing else out there like the Maverick with the same capabilities, and the current price point. CMOS
  8. Maverick keeps on selling despite supply shortage... 19,508 sold in Q2

    The Ranger IMO is priced too high, so it makes sense that the Maverick is taking a bite out of Ranger sales. Just for grins I priced out a Ranger on order - at $39K, no thanks. CMOS
  9. A Great GDI Video for Ecoboost Owners

    Excellent video. So here's my question: We know thee manufacturers know of this issue (intake valve coking). We also know there's no magic preventative, other than a good catch can, so IF our motor has issues with the intake valves in this manner, what's the remedy? Meaning, if we take out...
  10. What option was missing from 2022 options?

    Manual shift control of the Automatic tranny. CMOS
  11. Ford is the anamoly...New-car sales plunge: Supply constraints and rising prices limit buyers

    I am ***IN*** the semiconductor industry. I deal directly with wafers and individual die. The semiconductor shortage will not even begin to get better until late 2023. I predict a normal supply chain of semiconductors by late 2025. Buckle up. We're in for a long wait. CMOS
  12. Finally Here.

    Dood, PICS! CMOS
  13. What to look for in a dealer for 2023 order?

    That's what I did. I wasn't sure that my local dealer here in the greater Houston area was intimately familiar with the ordering process, so I'm going with LM. Spoke to "Dan" there. Super nice. CMOS
  14. When will 2023 Maverick show up Ford.com?

    Order banks open August 16th. CMOS
  15. My Maverick XLT Finally Arrived!

    Have to comment on that comment: It's waste of money to change Full Synthetic oil at 4K miles. This is based on my experience in diligently using oil sample testing from Blackstone labs. Example: I used to have an F150 with the 3.5EB motor. Ran the oil to 8K miles and sent in a sample...
  16. Noticing things

    @MLowe05 Did you get your Cyber Orange Maverick yet? If so, why is the color called "Cyber Orange" when every pics I see looks yellow? CMOS (going to order a Cyber Orange 2023...)
  17. Care and feeding of your turbocharger

    Full Synthetic oil is a big plus for this motor. CMOS
  18. Ecoboost Engine Hit or Miss

    Seriously, based on real oil sample testing I have been doing for almost 20 years, that's a waste of oil. I was running full syn in my F150 3.5EB and ran the oil to 10K once, then had it tested by Blackstone Labs. They said, "you can go longer". I opted to change it between 8-9K just to be...
  19. Area 51 Maverick so glad I changed my color

    Thanks. I'll be ordering the Cyber Orange. Looks more like a bright yellow. Gonna name the truck, "Sting". CMOS
