You're so close... :D

Huh? I have drained and refilled every fluid on my truck other than the coolant and the brake fluid. None of it was all that difficult, "aft end" or not. My point was, it doesn't matter how may times Bob or Bobby or Tom refilled his transmission - if the baseline you started with (which you...

All of those have been true, depending on the day. :wink:

Price, 100%. To be honest, the Maverick (and Ford in general) was my least-favorite option, but there was some urgency at the time, and the value proposition in finding a barely-used Maverick was compelling. I've owned a truck before, but in my life, pickups are about the same level of...

There are plenty of reports of Ford delivering AWD PTUs and RDUs underfilled. To each their own, but the ATF fluid level is not something I would gamble with, given that there is a relatively easy fill/level-checking procedure.

Congrats on the truck (and the kid). I thought you meant something totally different by "hitch cover." 😀 https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/threads/clean-up-area-around-the-trailer-hitch.19181/

I think that would be an impossible study. 1. The cost of gasoline varies wildly over time and based on geographic location. 2. The cost of starter installation varies wildly based on vehicle age, brand, and who installs it. More importantly, I don't think anyone has ever proven that the...

Not really. At the risk of posting "just another clickbait video," this one references an SAE paper that is paywalled, but he summarizes the results. Spoiler: if the engine is off more than about 7 seconds, it will save fuel, and the average driver can get 4-8% greater fuel economy with the...

At the very least, they should work behind the rear seat as mentioned. Though I don't have any experience with that product, so I don't know how flexible it is. People have definitely used adhesive foam sheets inside doors and other places, but at some point thickness might be an issue...

What "strip" product are we talking about? Is it the usual self-adhering rubber mat stuff, or something else? With the exception of partially applying it behind the rear seat, just about every meaningful location will require the removal of interior trim panels. Are you willing/able to do...

Absolutely not part of the truck. The wire taps and IMEI are dead giveaways. You own the truck, there is merely a lien on it since you're financed. You can 100% remove that and trash it. Huh? In what way?

That's a great solution for the control knob placement. My self-powered sub has a level knob that I've never felt was needed - but if I was gonna install it, I would 100% steal your idea. :thumbsup:

My truck is admittedly a 2023, but that doesn't sound like pre-collision to me. I adjusted the sensitivity on mine to the least-intrusive setting, but occasionally still get warnings. No one in the truck cab (or within a few car lengths lol) would be able to overlook that. It's a lot of...

Been there, done that. Good on you for finding it and cutting the, erm, cord... I wish the one installed in my truck was as "nicely" done. They tapped into the OBD harness behind the connector, leaving me bare vehicle wires to patch after I removed the GPS unit. :mad:

"Zooming out" a bit, I am not convinced that your issues have anything to do with you waiting until when you did to get "the flush," or even that you got "the flush" itself. I think your dealer didn't fill your transmission correctly, plain and simple. Even the much-maligned 8F35 should not...

Well, that's one way to make sure no one ever fucking tries to use it for anything, that's for sure. 🤦‍♂️ :p

Very unlikely. It has been discussed before and you may get some ideas here: https://www.mavericktruckclub.com/forum/search/6829492/?q=winch&c[title_only]=1&o=date

A ceramic coating is probably your best bet. Technically, it is temporary, but you should get benefits from it long after your trip. An inexpensive consumer-level spray like the Turtle Wax product won't be too much effort, especially if you are just focusing on the front of the truck. You'll...

I was raised by a perfectionist mechanical engineer with raging undiagnosed autism, and I have still never once worried about that in 40 years of driving.
