Really funny, One of my salesmen in the past carried compressed dusting air canisters as product samples (actually filled with compressed Freon). I warned him not to get them overheated, read warning labels, don't lock them in the trunk in 100°F weather, so he moved box to the back seat, closed...
I placed it at the right side pocket at the gate. Cut out holder from hard foam, and placed glued slice of foam at the bottom of the fire extinguisher to prevent contact wear.
Interesting, your Tonneau fits perfect, it looks like a newer improved design. The older one on my 2023 XLT has about 3/8" gap at the gate. It wears very well, but the two 2 left and right lock tabs interfere with the bed extender.
Weight and energy density look very good, but because of past experience with sodium fire, I run an AI question on battery safety, and here is what I got:
Safety of Sodium-Ion Batteries
Sodium-ion batteries (Na-ion) are considered to be safer than traditional lithium-ion batteries (Li-ion) in...
Good steps, but with Maverick Hybrid we need to remember about the Battery Management System. See pages 319-320 of the instruction manual:
p. 319
Battery Sensor Reset
When you install a new battery, reset the
battery sensor by doing the following:
1. Switch the ignition on, and leave the...
My Deep Sleep problem got resolved at the dealer, no problems since September. They have replaced the (2023) battery, and applied two software fixes SSM 53801 AC module, SSM 52307 Deep Sleep TCU updates. The AC Module fix took care of the battery drain problem, the AC fan would run after you...
Thank you, great info. To me this means that with the peak heat at the engine side, a skid plate on the cold down stream converter would be safe, no worry about trapped heat.
Guess what, I picked up the truck today after 2 days of testing at the dealer. The battery SOC was at 29%, charged, used Rotunda tester, and battery test came bad. They replaced battery, with Ford BXT 99RT4-A made sure it was fully charged, monitored next day to see if any discharge is...
I had SSM 53801 air conditioning control module (ACCM) software update, that Ford Engineering advised dealer to fix the issue - didn't fix, the Deep Sleep mode continued.
Back to the same dealer, Ford advised them to run SSM 52307 updating TCU to fix deep sleep notification errors. This worked...
Interesting you mentioned the work order.
This is what it says:
Found SSM 52307 for inaccurate deep sleep notification with Ford Pass. update TCU
Tech notes:
Tested battery and tested good. Checked battery SOC PID and found battery at 75 percent. Checked connected vehicle and it showed 30...
Happy to report that the 12V "low battery" issue got finally resolved. After fail of SSM 53801 fix I called Ford Customer Care, and they called the dealer to bring my truck back. Three days ago I dropped off the truck and the battery problem has disappeared. As the service manager...
Totally agree, as a retired product manager I was responsible for product manuals and they were tested on real users in multiple languges. If I produced anything like the Maverick manual, I would be fired. My 2023 XLT manual looks like a DEI job by an inexperienced hire who never drove the...
I dropped off Maverick off Thursday morning at the dealer. They told me later that the NAPA AGM battery that they replaced a year ago was charged at 30%. They will charge battery, then run the SSM 53801 procedure, but want to keep the truck overnight to have a test drive in the morning. The...
Unfortunately Maverick has no frame, unibody built, any any accident can deform body so is no longer repairable. Bent aluminum cracks, can't be stretched back like with steel.
