It's a world of difference between the lights in the Transit vs the light assemblies on some vehicles with LED headlights with the required ballast along with the LED parking lights that are integrated into the light assembly. Even aftermarket parts are stupid expensive.

I believe the Maverick REQUIRES synthetic Ford REQUIRES only synthetic blend on the EcoBoost based on the part number given. But I recommend full synthetic for an EXTRA measure of protection. I even used full synthetic in my old 2011 Focus. I even used it in my under stressed 2007 Town Car...

I've seen these screens clog on the 3.5 EcoBoost. But it was ALWAYS on engines with neglected oil changes beyond Ford's recommendations. Or the person ignorantly used regular oil instead of the required synthetic blend and still changed oil using the regular intervals. But using full synthetic...

It's not just the auto industry. It seems to be business in general. Several years ago my brother (an accountant) worked at a company that made turbine engine blades. It treated ALL it's employees so well that when a Union tried to organize the blue collar workers, they were truly bit...

Before replacing the battery, I recommend performing a BMS reset. Then seeing what happens from there. I've seen techs get in a hurry and forget to reset it when the new battery is installed. Sometimes nothing bad happens. Sometimes problems don't show up until later. Sometimes that's all it...

I agree. Also, there may be a miscommunication. At our dealership, we write up almost all repairs that are beyond 3/36 as customer pay until we diagnose it and determine that it's warranty because warranty coverage depends on whether the component that CAUSED the failure is covered . Example: if...

When I started working at a dealership in 2001, things were beginning to change. Ford actually had a representative show up to tell us that warranty time for repairs would likely be going DOWN. I remember when a few service writers quit because the dealership LOWERED their commission. I...

I can't fathom a Ford dealership not accepting a Ford extended warranty. Of course we'd rather get customer pay work. But we'd be STUPID to turn away warranty work. It's guaranteed money. Ford checks don't bounce. Yes, the approval process can be a pain. But it's usually straightforward. We...

You must not have had collision damage lately. 😂. It doesn't take much to cause $10,000+ damage on any vehicle lately. We live in the day of $1,000 headlights. If a tail light contains a Side object detection module, that's an easy $500+ In addition to the twilight itself. It's relatively easy...

It's crazy that people are still saying this. Of course I wish that it was less expensive. But it's crazy that folks are still saying that "no one will pay $30 k for a $20k truck. " . And "Ford is crazy if they think anyone will pay almost $40k for a truck that shouldn't cost any more than 25k...

His logic is probably that he heard that oil needs to be changed at 3,000 miles on a turbo equipped engine. That was good advice back in the 1990's . But oil, turbos, engines, ect have greatly improved since then. And it's safe to simply follow the manufacturer recommendations based on one's...

If he’s having problems with the Maverick going into deep sleep mode, and it’s still under warranty, he should go to the dealership PERIOD. 1. Have the battery Fully charged and tested using the charger/tester approved by ford for warranty. Forget the handheld tester that we use for the quick...

It is correct that the majority of Maverick Hybrid owners have. Absolutely Zero problems with the 12 v battery. And of those who’ve had problems, Ford has come up with solutions to repair the vast majority of those. It’s a stubborn few that have persistent problems . And they are understandably...

B No. Haven't touched the truck other than to check the battery level. Cleared a stray code set when fog covered my front camera. 80% is. Actually the minimum that Ford recommends for us to perform certain tests and updates. Also the minimum at which start/ stop will work on EcoBoost and other...

I hope it's solved. My 2025 showed a low battery on my app ONE time about two months ago. I purposely didn't do anything other than drive it in order to see if it would happen again. To be honest, I may have left the switch on after sitting and listening to the radio after I got home. And simply...

It's not about the Tarriffs working or not. It's about the USA falling behind, ESPECIALLY if they work too well. We're all old enough to have witnessed this often shortsightedness of our auto industry to it's own detriment. In the early 1970s gas shortage and price spike we didn't have available...

Exactly! Hubris always bites us. While it’s easy to credit any success in China to communist policies, state subsidies, copycat and coverup, The Chinese are also doing some innovation and are actually ahead of us in some things. I remember when we thought the Japanese were only able to make...

The idea is that the vehicle will be totaled instead of YOU. I certainly would rather reports of vehicles being totaled from rear impacts than from owners getting back and neck injuries after being hit from behind.
