  1. A log of the investment returns and loan for my 25 Maverick

    Financial markets are not normal distributions, they are dominated by Black Swans (see the book).
  2. 0 to 60 times for Maverick Tremor 2.0 Ecoboost

    Muscle cars were fast for the day, but not for today, plus most of them were fast because they had super-short rear ends, so they rode on the interstate at like 3500-4000 rpm.
  3. 3800 lb trailer, 467 lb tongue weight

    Weight distribution hitches are an object of controversy on unibody vehicles - it might just be a good way to bend your "frame" (which you really don't have). They are absolutely outside of Ford's recommendations.
  4. 3800 lb trailer, 467 lb tongue weight

    It's not like there's a red line over which the truck explodes. It's a little bit worse than being a little bit lighter. I suggest that you will have trouble with a 467 lb tongue weight staying under GVWR including cargo and passengers & gas. Also beware of trailer weights that are dry versus...
  5. Date Code on Motorcraft Oil

    If there is a date code it will be dot printed on the bottle. Anything stamped on the bottle would be the bottle mold date. The UPC doesn't change day to day. Look for a 4 digit number, a "Julian date" like 4167, which would be the 167th day of 2024. There is no standard for this format...
  6. Remote start useless for Hybrid

    Why would use use it differently for EB vs hybrid? The pupose is cabin temp. Engines don't need to warm up any more.
  7. Poor low beam road lighting performance on the Maverick

    I would guess you did something to them with all your other work
  8. 87 Octane in an EcoBoost with GPF

    This is key. You will only see a difference at wide open throttle, at less than that you can just push the pedal more. It's fairly certain that WOT is among the the worst things you can do to an engine.
  9. 87 Octane in an EcoBoost with GPF

    I don't think that's an accurate representation. Advancing timing lets the ECU add more fuel to extract more power. The O2 sensor(s), lambda for you brits who we don't really have many of here, will trim fuel to keep you away from unburned fuel.
  10. Panda Power Module on Maverick - reviews / experience?

    I'm sure you could increase the boost somehow, but that's the only way to get more HP from a gas engine - you have to put more air into the cylinder. There are no magic lost HP waiting to be extracted from the gas you burn.
  11. Anyone ever have issues getting warranty service at dealers they didn't buy from?

    My dealer picks up mine or does it in the driveway even though I bought it across town (because the idiot sales manager didn't believe me that the order bank was open).
  12. Check Engine Light after Cold Air Intake

    What a cold air filter does: makes the engine louder so it sounds faster. That said, the car will train itself using Mass Air Flow and Air Inlet Temp sensors to fix the mixture. Unless you hit a hose I don't see how the 2 are connected. Just as good for speed and mpg is flames for the side...
  13. 2028 RAM DAKOTA midsized pickup confirmed for US

    I would eat glass before owning another Chrysler product
  14. Temperature sensor not reading correctly and affecting HVAC

    How hard can it be? It's a sensor and a wire and a controller, one supposes all are covered in the repair manual.
  15. Risk of poisoning with 12V Battery not vented properly

    Something here isn't right. Either a defective battery or defective charging system that drove the battery to gassing. This just isn't a thing that happens.
  16. Service Vehicle(or engine) soon.

    "Service Engine Soon" shows up in my 2023 owner's manual twice - once for overheating coolant and once for don't fiddle with emissions equipment. Check your coolant level. Look for the engine warning light, a flashing one means don't drive. You might want to pull codes at an auto-zone or...
