  1. Time to start the stereo install

    Yes, you have embarked on a journey. You've already taken more pics than I did of my own install, but hoping to see more. Good luck!
  2. Experiments with tire pressure on my Lariat

    I agree that everyone should have a tire gauge, but the accuracy of OEM TPMS sensors definitely varies... Mine are within 1 psi compared to my own inflator, my manual gauges, and even the Costco filling station.
  3. 2023 2.0 Ecoboost Transmission complete Failure at 83k miles - No Help from Ford 9k to fix

    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...
  4. What Made You Choose the Maverick Over Other Trucks?

    All of those have been true, depending on the day. :wink:
  5. What Made You Choose the Maverick Over Other Trucks?

    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...
  6. 2023 2.0 Ecoboost Transmission complete Failure at 83k miles - No Help from Ford 9k to fix

    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.
  7. DADMAV Build - Who says Base Models are boring? (2025 XL Hybrid AWD)

    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/
  8. Disable Forscan mods before service?

    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...
  9. Disable Forscan mods before service?

    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...
  10. Need advice on installing sound deadener

    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...
  11. Need advice on installing sound deadener

    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...
  12. Found of those those dang GPS trackers

    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?
  13. I upgraded my 2022 Lariat B&O system

    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:
  14. Found of those those dang GPS trackers

  15. Some form of automatic braking is annoying me

    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...
  16. Found of those those dang GPS trackers

    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:
  17. Transmission Issues and Mini Chronicles

    "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...
  18. I will ask a dumb question....what is this for?

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

    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
