  1. Hood size too large

    So not to hi-jack, but given the dent posts, the question comes to mind...has anybody found something to install, spray, etc between the support structure and the outer hood skin to reinforce or help prevent nuisance dents like that? - If it wasn't for the fact I'd be afraid it would melt, catch...
  2. Whitewall Era

    I was always a white wall fan, but as I've gotten older, I like the black sidewalls...actually, I sort of like the raised white letters, which are also somewhat old-school, but look good on some vehicles. When the factory tires are shot, I might just put something with white letters sidewalls...
  3. Hybrid Issues

    Any chance anything else has changed, such as the weather, knowing we're had a cooler or almost cold spell on the east coast this past week. If the heat is on, the engine will start and run until the coolant reaches temperatures high enough to generate cabin heat, and then run to maintain the...
  4. Is the oil dilution theory some BS?

    Whether the Oil Dilution becomes an issue will be dependent upon driving styles, look at the CRV 1.5l for instance, where those in warmer climates or those who regularly drove longer to allow the gasoline blow-by to evaporate and burn off, had virtually no detrimental issue, even with the...
  5. Steering wheel leather wrap cover installed

    For those of us with large hands, the factory wheel is a little thin or narrow. I have a stretch over cover currently, just to make it thicker. I don't believe the heating element would overheat, contact between the two materials should pass the heat along. Air is actually a lousy heat...
  6. Hood size too large

    That honor went to the 76 Riviera my partner had, or the 70's Lincoln Town Car my buddy's father had. Those hoods could have been used as an aircraft carrier. Drove the Riviera a few times, wow huge and super fast with the 4bl 455 under the hood.....rated at 205 HP, but felt more like 300+, as...
  7. Hood size too large

    No longer, and actually slightly smaller than the hood on the '12 Outback I traded. I think the hood length is partially an optical illusion from behind the wheel, as it appears to be MUCH longer, since it doesn't significantly taper downwards at the front, and remains fairly high. It was...
  8. Door ding protectors

    They offer a version sized to mount along that lower crease or ridge.
  9. Tailgate Hole

    Not just our trucks, the Rivian's flap can lift up and the same thing happens.....was mentioned in a video by JerryRigEverything. I'm toying with cutting a piece of screen to fit the hole, to keep stuff out of mine, yet let water drain. Maybe 3-D Print a holder or glue to edge trim to allow it...
  10. First Ding, Scratch, Mark Club

    I have a couple of super tiny, unable to get a photo, needle point sized chips, if you call them that. So small that even a toothpick is on the large size to fill in with touch-up. Oddly, one is midway up the tailgate, and I'm dumbfounded how anything would manage to contact the tailgate to...
  11. Door ding protectors

    I installed these on mine, they're very well made, good directions, fit well, and perfect paint match.
  12. Who else is waiting for front axles for their hybrid?

    Are the CV Half-Shafts the same for both the Hybrid & EB models, or are they different? - Sort of a curiosity question more than anything. I also wonder of the units on Tremor models are different to allow for the higher articulation, and if they are, would they fit, is the question that...
  13. I ordered a 2024 Lariat!

    Yep, based on allocations, parts availability, and then the all important roll of the dice by the Ford scheduling system. I waited just about 18 months for mine to be built & delivered, which might actually have been a good thing, as most of the initial problems were addressed on the line. -...
  14. Rear fender skirts

    My father's 74 Caprice Classic had them.....somewhere along the line they were discarded, don't recall why, but probably after having to change a flat, an leaving it on the side of the road. (Just remember having to pull the lug nuts off to flip them, as he'd installed them backwards in the dark).
  15. Resistance and restricted roll down hill

    Slippery mode has the least resistance going down hill, ECO mode the most, at least on the Hybrid. Depending upon conditions, this might be a huge positive for the Hybrid, and the resistance decreases with any throttle input, even if the ICE hasn't kick on. When I leave work, I hang the left...
  16. Aftermarket Fender Flares recommendations?

    There should also be a set coming from Mabett shortly, or those have been the reports. The only two-part design for the fronts, which wouldn't require removing to drop the bumper are the EGR units. - Or they appear to be a 2-part design, with the photos having a matching seem at the bumper to...
  17. How many watts in B&O system and standard audio system?

    The B&O isn't bad sounding, once you tweak the settings to your liking. Truthfully it's on par with the Bose, HK, and Infinity upgrades found in most brands.
  18. Dashboard Rattle:Is It Worth Getting Fixed?

    Here's the area I inserted the felt:
  19. Dealer says I can use any brand full synthetic oil for my Maverick

    Heck, I'll be 61 before my 1st oil change and have gray hair....still crawling under with DeWalt in hand to change mine, so I know it's done right, with the correct viscosity oil. Don't really trust the service techs at the dealership, and sadly my brother doesn't get the oil change jobs, being...
  20. Hybrid Owners/Orders, How many things are we just OVERLOOKING?

    Mine's a '23, so most of the first year issues are a non-issue. Had a deep sleep a couple of times, however, that's partially my fault, and probably similar to many others. If you're around the truck with the remote after the truck has been active, but before the bulk of the electronics...
