After 530 miles and 5 months since oil change, I decided to pull a sample of the Quaker State full synthetic oil to see what it looks like now. You know taste new coffee blend at early morning rise. And then pull another sample at maybe ~ 2,000 miles to check. It may take some time for the truck...

On February 20, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V104000: Trailer Lighting and Brakes May Not Function. Sounds scary, especially if the trailer brakes stop working on one of those Super Duty trucks rated to pull freight-train loads while it’s...

It’s no secret the 2023 EB engines will see messy intake valves once mileage put on them. Then depending on how engine maintained, comes a time the valves will need cleaning, probably blasted with walnut shells. And it’s no secret the new 2025+ EB engine are now fitted with intake manifold...

Been seeing few owners posting about their new 2026 model. Could use little bit info from 1 or 2 EB engined owners. My query deals with the engine lube oil. My 2023 states to use Ford spec WSS-M2C961-A1 lube oil. Learning of a newer WSS-M2C971-A1 specification. Question - if you will, kindly...

WSS-M2C961-A1 vs. WSS-M2C971-A1 Can anyone explain difference between the 961 and 971 in WSS #? I seem to recall reading that 971 full synthetic maybe supersede the 961 specs. Not able to find info, again. My 5W-30 oil of choice is full synthetic and says ford approved WSS-M2C971-A1. And I...

Copy of latest oil sample analysis of significant mileage of Motorcraft full synthetic oil. My focus is on oil viscosity values which historically has demonstrated low values, not within realm of the brand publicized specs. Be that the oil be blended or full syn. Also previous sample revealed...

Buddy got rid of his Dodge Ram truck with floor shift, got a 24 Maverick EB, a XLT. He contacted me asking few questions, what accessories I added to my Mav. Gave him a list. Then asked his DW if he put big dent in their bank account…lol And he’s prob reading this.
